I asked for a cast iron pan for Christmas in like 2015, and at first I was crestfallen that my sister got me an enamelled one, because I had been reading reddit and for some reason thought it would be fun to faff around for months trying to 'season' it and then disowning family members for putting it in the sink, but I am eternally grateful that she went for the enamel.

Cutting with a Victorinox Fibrox; sometimes tempted to get some Japanese steel, is it worth it? Should I get a Wusthof/some other western chef's knife instead? Stick with the fibrox? (it seems to lose its edge pretty quickly, although I don't have a honing steel).

I was looking at the 11 in 1 instant pot because I use the slow cooker and rice cooker a lot, and was thinking of getting an air fryer, but I heard the air fryer function on the instant pot falls well short of a dedicated machine.

Oven keeps tripping the kitchen breaker so landlord is sending an electrician tomorrow.

I assumed as much, but oddly it started as an intermittent problem and then became permanent. It also happens if I turn the dial to the setting that only switches the light and the fan on.

how is china still struggling with covid? nobody getting properly sick here.

Because we've all already had Covid probably. If you put the UK's per capita deaths onto China it would be four and a half million dead.

with SSD pricing as stupid as it is if you have any actual storage needs you're better off just buying a NAS.

I don't get why people (more specifically Mac users) are always holding out for even more powerful Macs when the entry level M1 was already so stupidly overpowered for like 99% of what I do. Is everyone running loving gene sequencing simulations on their MacBook airs and I'm just unaware about it?

I got the cheapest M1 Air with the lowest spec SSD and RAM and its absolutely fine unless I am really really taking the piss (e.g. 7 apps running including safari with 50+ tabs, many of which are 200mb+ pdfs, or editing 4K video in AfterEffects)

I went onto a VPN (Mullvad) on my iPhone and said I was in the USA, then signed up to F1 TV Pro using in-app purchase which was £5.99 at the time I signed up. Because it's all handled by Apple, F1TV never get to see my billing details and it just works. To actually watch I VPN to France as it's the closest region as far as Internet latency is concerned where F1 TV Pro is available.

What the gently caress, does that work? I have Mullvad and never even considered this

Been doing it for the past two seasons. The cancelled F1 TV subscription hangs about in your iCloud settings on your phone so you can cancel and resume it from there and never have to touch the F1 app.

Well blow me down, that was easy.

Oddly, the app still knows I'm in the UK, even with the slovakian IP it wouldn't give me the Slovakian €39.99 price for the year, but still. Bargain.\

It's got archival races in decent quality too!

F1 cars are not made out of cast iron because it is a heavy and brittle material that is not well-suited for high-performance racing. F1 cars are designed to be as lightweight as possible while still being strong and rigid enough to withstand the extreme forces and stresses that occur during a race. Cast iron is a dense and heavy material, which would add unnecessary weight to the car and reduce its performance.

Instead, F1 cars are typically constructed from lightweight and durable materials such as carbon fiber and titanium. These materials are stronger and lighter than cast iron, allowing F1 cars to achieve high speeds and maneuverability on the track. Carbon fiber, in particular, is widely used in F1 car construction due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent stiffness, and resistance to fatigue.

In addition to being lightweight and strong, F1 cars must also be able to dissipate heat quickly, which is essential for the proper functioning of the engine and other critical components. Cast iron is not well-suited for this purpose as it has poor thermal conductivity and can easily crack under high temperatures.

used to lie on my bed, watching free-to-air F1 on a Sunday, flipping an Episode 1 darth maul lightsaber in my right hand from tip, to handle, to tip, to handle, to tip.

big old crt tv, wood veneer, no remote. tail end of murray walker's stint on ITV.

distant sound of a lawnmower through the open window. faint smell of cut grass. jumpers for goalposts. what's that mum? tuna sandwiches?
