So, you’ve become tolerant. That can be fixed.

Look carefully at the typeface on the AUKEY before ordering. That was a dealbreaker for me.

It’s easy to install. Amazon is just trying to push their “local service” sales.

I was all set to vote for (some sort of) chili, but now I’m paralyzed by the many other good choices mentioned in the comments. I think I’ll go passive this week and take whatever comes since it’s sure to be worthwhile.

Airy stuff like bread is a problem for SV since you need to squeeze out most of that air to keep the bag from floating and get adequate heat flow.

No, only for Shep’s toadies.

Speaking of Anova, the new product annoncement (https://anovaculinary.com/introducing-the-anova-precision-oven/) email I just received from them tells me that they’ve gone completely nuts. This is a 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘴 idea, so don’t take my posting this comment as an endorsement.

So, does this mean that we don’t have to bother with a vote for the next topic, and can go straight to chili?

The interesting question, not addressed here, is how many times a day women don’t fart.

Fortunately, I’ve managed to avoid doing the iOS 10 “upgrade”. However, my iPhone insists on reminding me about it several times a day, which is very annoying. My friend Google hasn’t been able to supply me with a solution to this problem. Does anyone know how to get the updater to STFU?

Good point.

“A pee-can is what you use to take a whiz.”

A ~$50 portable induction plate is a fine substitute for a gas burner, and far superior to resistive electric. I have a gas stove, but still use the induction plates most of the time (for one thing, they’re vastly easier to keep clean). IKEA has cheap induction-compatible cookware, but T-Fal is better quality for the…

Yup, time for chili.

But hopefully not 𝘵𝘰𝘰 solid.

Sou desu yo!

I use a butane kitchen torch for searing, rather than a hot pan. It works great with irregularly-shaped stuff, since you don’t have to press the food against the pan. Also, the cleanup is easier. Since it uses butane (the cylinders are very cheap and commonly available), you don’t get that (mythical?) propane…

The same issue applies to households having only two Echoes.

Amazon Music Unlimited works with 𝗼𝗻𝗲 Echo at a time. Screw that! I have a dozen Echoes in my house, and I’m not going to pay $15/month for a family plan to get music on more than one at a time. Amazon is trying to increase the penetration of Echo devices, and I think they’re shooting themselves in the foot with…

Or, I suppose, just use a high enough vacuum (and strong enough bag!) that it’s squashed flat.
