  • What's YOUR food hack?

    Jump

  • If your eggs are more than a couple of days old, don't poach them. Fry or scramble will both be fine, but poachies need the freshest eggs you can get.

    If you must poach an older egg, line a cup with cling film/Saran wrap and make a parcel of the egg then poach for the usual time. It's not as pretty, but it pretty much works.

  • What is the fantasy book/series everyone should read?

    Jump

  • If you fancy a small change over to comic/graphic novels, I can highly recommend the Alan Moore run of Swamp Thing. Two years ago I would have also included Neil Gaiman's Sandman, but it seems that he's a piece of shit, so if you do want to read his stuff, please pirate it to avoid giving him any money.

  • Gas prices are skyrocketing. This is the county with the most expensive average in America

    Jump

  • $7 per US gallon is the price; that's around €1.60 per litre.

  • Hazel is not AI. She also has no NI. No thoughts, head empty.

    Jump

  • I dunno, there must be something in her head that makes her neck so chunky.

  • What are the most reliable ev models on the market?

    Jump

  • Which market? US/EU?

    Budget?

  • Kia EV3 coming to US

    Jump

  • My wife loves the EV3. We took a test drive last summer and she almost got one as a company car, but there was a long wait for delivery, so she took an EQA instead. Now she's in a different job, we're waiting for them to hit the post-lease resale market in a couple of years.

  • TIL: There is now a SNL UK stand alone show

    Jump

  • There's a lot of discussion of the first episode here: https://www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=119160.240

    I've linked to the start of the live discussion, as I reckon 8 pages of pre-release speculation is a bit much for most people, but YMMV.

    My initial thought is that George Fouracres is the standout performer in this episode, but given that he has plenty of sketch and "proper" stage experience he's got a big headstart on some of the stand-ups. He provided my two big laughs, one in the Hamnet sketch, and in the final "45 Seconds...". Emma Sidi also does well with her one main character. Post-Fast Show, the sketches do seem very slow and dragged out; that's the SNL way, it seems.

  • The best EV (for me)

    Jump

  • And yet they stopped making them! Pretty much every available Ioniq 28 or 38kwh in the UK had been used as a cab since new, so has 100k+ miles and a shiny steering wheel. I'm still tempted to get one, as they start at £5k but they will have been abused and will likely need a bit of work to get roadworthy.

  • Honda warns of $16bn hit on its pivot away from EVs

    Jump

  • How can they pivot away from something they were barely doing? 18 months ago we went to our local Honda dealer, and the salesman spent the whole time telling us why the sole EV they had on the lot was a pile of crap and a waste of money. We'd made it clear that we were only interested in BEV due to the tax advantages and he just bad-mouthed the only option he had for making a sale.

  • Refusing to use a condom is a massive red flag. Yes, they reduce sensation, but they also protect both parties from significant health risks. An IUD is irrelevant to him at this stage

    Always use a condom until you have both tested clear and are committed to each other. If your relationship is poly, then condom use and testing is required for every new partner, and it's sensible to have everyone retested when someone new comes into the relationship.

    I'd personally be concerned about their behaviour, either then trying to coerce you into unprotected sex, or being a whiny shit refusing to use a condom. Both of these would make me consider withdrawing consent, but I'm a stickler for enthusiasm at all stages.

  • whats your favorite long running and active media franchise?

    Jump

  • Evil Dead. I love the original trilogy, the TV show was awesome and the new ones are great as well. I wish there was a truly great videogame but what we have is fine, I guess.

  • I put a new fan in the bathroom and reduced the fan noise by 15 decibels

    Jump

  • There's only a bath, shower and sink in this room. Any pooping should take place in the WC next door. If that changes, I'll have more concerns than fan niose.

  • I put a new fan in the bathroom and reduced the fan noise by 15 decibels

    Jump

  • You have my sympathies. Our hall, stairs and landing have textured plaster on the walls above the dado rail. We used a random orbital sander to take the worst peaks down and then skimmed over. Sanded when dry, re-skimmed, sanded, primed then two coats of paint. A one week job took three. It still looks a bit shit, but it's way better than it was. We are still finding bits of the dust when we move a bit of furniture.

  • I put a new fan in the bathroom and reduced the fan noise by 15 decibels

    Jump

  • We have a seperate WC, so those more personal noises aren't an issue, thankfully.

    It's mainly steam removal and condensation reduction that we need. After my shower this morning, it seems like it's a successful upgrade.

    Jump

  • My high tech smartphone sound meter read 65dB yesterday and 50 today. That's scientific enough for me.

  • I put a new fan in the bathroom and reduced the fan noise by 15 decibels

    Jump

  • The main issue for mine was that it resonated with the ceiling panels, meaning there was a loud vibration that could be heard in other rooms. The noise from the new fan is just the whooshing of the air, no vibrations at all, and when the door is closed it's almost inaudible.

  • I put a new fan in the bathroom and reduced the fan noise by 15 decibels

    Jump

  • Not exactly easy, as the part of the attic I was working in is not boarded, so lots of twisting to get angles for screwdrivers etc. The existing ducting was long enough that it easily accomodated the new fan. Snips and zip-ties FTW. Took an hour and a half and I managed to strip the head of the last screw I put in to secure the new fan into the bracket holding it onto the rafters. That is also future me's problem.

  • I put a new fan in the bathroom and reduced the fan noise by 15 decibels

    Jump

  • When we moved in, the first room we renovated had this same paper, but it had been covered with vinyl paint. We ended up getting it re-boarded and skimmed. Life's too short to strip off that shit.

  • I wonder what show has been played the most.

    Jump

  • Mr Bean. Popular around the world and dialogue free, so no localisation costs. He's probably been seen more than any other single character as it's so easy for anyone to understand what's going on. Certainly a contender for most watched, but maybe not most played, as there's not as many episodes as many long running series, so you can watch every episode in a single day, rather than the weeks it would take to plod through the whole of The Simpsons.
