  • I love my electric kettle. I can get 5 cups of boiling water in about five minutes (less for less water).

    And while a microwave is likely faster, it also heats the container. For a quick, single mug, it's not an issue. Run that thing for five to heat a lot of water, and the container itself could be scorching hot.

    I prefer the kettle every time.




  • Yep. Most are via Epic, GOG, and Amazon Games, but I'd install an itch.io game, if there was one I wanted to play.

    If you're trying to save money, instead of using it as a way to build reputation, I don't think it's that big of a deal to choose a cheaper option. And if you find that it becomes popular, you can maybe consider Steam later on.




  • Rinse as you go, especially for things you know will stick (cheese, eggs, sauces, etc.). You can still use the tool if needed, but it's a lot easier to clean later on if there's no dried food on it, and stuff rinses off really easily while still fresh (usually).

    I can't manage to clean as I go either, but this has saved me a mountain of effort.


  • I switched back to Steam OS from Bazzite due to some QoL issues on the OLED Deck, and there's definitely some improvements between sound, battery life, and general performance.

    Makes sense why they wouldn't want to upstream their work, since it gives them a market edge, but I wish they'd introduce some kind of persistent Overlay FS, so people can install non-flatpack software. Being able to layer packages in Bazzite and utilize things like Distrobox was so nice, and keeping these improvements to themselves means the user has effectively less options.
