I've had pretty much all kinds in various apartments in the last while, currently back on "hot plate" resistive electric (renting currently), which sucks and is inefficient.

Induction is amazing for some things, but for some other things I prefer gas.

Given the choice, I'd have some kind of combination of gas and induction. Maybe half and half?

> Apple should add a „soldering fumes inhalation“ stat. Are there different kind of fumes at different temperature levels?

I now want to find out. Maybe one of those particle sensor units (the PM2.5 ones) could be used to measure this?

Confounding variables would include the type of solder used... What you are soldering onto... Ventilation... Etc...

Currently I just do all my soldering on the stovetop due to its extractor fan, being beside a window, smooth surface, ease of cleaning, good lighting, etc.

Been using it at work, "hot pile of excrement" applies.

Using fucking Corp licenced Win11 Pro and still getting ads/spamcontent in my OS?

I mean, you basically out of hand disregard the infinite potential network connectivity grants you to learn nearly anything to a good level.

Languages? State department language courses are available online, as are many other resources, language classes, language learning communities, etc.

Math? Physics? Chemistry? Again, infinite repository of info.

And so on...

In my experience LLM's hallucinate a lot.

Often giving "plausible but entirely wrong" output that is hard to discern from factual, real output.

This is an outrageous claim lol.

Yeah, if there's such a feeling in what should be a normal interaction, I'd question the friendship

Pretty huge disparity in some cases.

It has never really been an issue or caused awkwardness/weirdness.

About one decently exploitable bug a year or so over the past few years.

Not all of them have been memory safety issues, but many have been.

The only people who join Soho House are absolutely insufferable tryhards.

Also, virtually nobody I know from the millennial or zoomer generation actually enjoy renting - ownership is simply out of reach.

That sounds even wierder.

This was... Weird.

Like, none of the "awkward examples" really track as awkward?

I genuinely don't get the point of this article.

Even in countries where recording guest ID is a legal requirement, it can often be circumvented.

This threads discussing small hotels ("boutique"), not the large chains.

Most of the larger chains even have benefits if you go direct though.

> chain smokers tried to light up all kinds of things, up to and including various kinds of tea

I've tried smoke a lot of things, including tea.

Don't recommend it.

The average stay IME is less than 18 months.

If you stay a few years you will have made and lost touch with a good few friends from all over the world who will have come, partied hard for a year while working for Zalando or N26 or some shit, and fucked off.

The healthcare is not "free" - health insurance is mandatory, and its quality varies massively depending on your insurer, the hospital/doctor you go to, etc.

Those MP5's they (some German cops) carry are loaded.

Negligent discharges happen every now and then. Usually only injuring other cops.

Our largest immigrant group in Ireland is Brits.

Nobody gives a fuck.

I don't think the city needs, or wants, to be "helped".

Who or what is a cloud guy and why should I care about what he says?

Short answer: yes.

Longer answer: also yes.

It's where attackers use your sites payment method / card processing method to make a shitload of small transactions to verify the stolen credit cards they have are valid.

Transaction succeeds? Cards valid.

I thought the whole point of using Stripe was they handle thia shit for you.

So in Ireland, supermarket meat is cheap, but usually higher in fat and "wetter". Still decent meat, but you are paying for water IME.

At the butcher I pay only slightly more, I know exactly which farm it came from, I know where it was slaughtered and processed, and I can ask for specific cuts/amounts, so less wastage.

Its also much higher quality and not as "wet", so its much nicer to cook with (and I'm not paying for water weight).

I've saved a metric shitload on my monthly food shopping by using the butchers and greengrocers in my area instead of the supermarkets.

In many parts of Europe buying from the traditional local style of producer is the cheaper way to buy animal products.

Supermarket meats often contain a fair bit of water weight IME.

The difference between supermarket produce (fruit/veg) and greengrocer produce is night and day IMO.

As for carrots specifically, I did notice that the greengrocer carrots often are individually smaller and more fucked up looking than the supermarket ones, and taste more intensely.

Interestingly the greengrocer is often cheaper on some things than even the discounter supermarkets, and is MUCH cheaper if you factor in spoilage, disposal of packaging waste, etc.

Same goes for meat products - buying them from a good butchers can often work out cheaper than the supermarket (precise control over cuts, etc), far less waste, professional advice on preparation, higher quality, etc.

> bad quality meat raised with hormones

Luckily, these are pretty much illegal in all of European Union.

Traceability regulations and the regulators being pretty on the ball with checking (even more so since the horsemeat issue years ago) mean we don't get such garbage in our market.

Its a clean, modern looking, efficient shithole.

Like Dubai, really.

Their entire legal system is a disaster, they have quite serious internet and press censorship regulations, serious issues with racial discrimination, systemic labour rights issues, its a de-facto (but not de-jure) one party state, and so on.

I've found it depends on the mate.

The current bag I have, Rosamonte brand, seems to require freshly boiled, right out of the kettle water to get a good extraction.

The last bag I had was bitter if you used just boiled water, you had to let it go down in temp a bit to get a good brew.

I should probably buy a bunch of mates and check the dates to see if that's a variable I've not accounted for. Usually I know how to deal with a bag of it after making the first drink.
