To be fair, some of our walls are a bit more hollow, and can be easily drilled into. I wonder if they’re more or less drywall. Though I don’t think you could punch through them without hurting yourself. There’s this part of me that now wishes to try, but it’s like as best we don’t find out. 😅
You can buy portable camping stoves that use propane as well. If your kitchen cant heat enough, then that is a useful tool to have. Honestly I’d say it’s decently useful overall in case of a blackout or something.
IKEA. It’s stainless steel with non-stick. It’s the only non-stick thing I have, and I’m desperate to be rid of it.
Having a non-stick wok is incredibly frustrating because it doesn’t handle high temperatures, and a lot of recipes I’d like to do require high temperatures. Like good luck trying to make chili oil in this thing, I have to use a regular stainless steel pot for that - which works fine. I like making Cantonese style scrambled eggs which isn’t really possible in a pot and it doesn’t come out right in the wok since you can’t heat it enough, meaning the egg doesn’t set fast enough.
I don’t think drywall is a thing in apartments here. Growing up I always thought that “punching through the wall” was something they put in for comedic effect, because here you’d just crush your hand.
Do you not clean your utensils?
Weirdly, a dough scraper. It’s not because of the measurement conversions, I don’t think I’d ever noticed them up until now actually. It’s just a really solid dough scraper. I use it for dough, but I’ve also used it for so many other things, like assembling/disassembling furniture, patching holes in the wall, wrapping furniture in a vinyl sheet. Loads of various tasks.
Every so often you find that you need a solid, flat, steel thing, and this comes in handy every single time.
Yeah, the way I see it; if you buy a fancy kitchen knife or two, you better also buy whetstones and learn how to sharpen properly. Those knives can be great, but they also need good care.
If you buy the cheapo IKEA knife set of 3 for $12, you might as well use a rubbish sharpener. It’ll do the job, and the knives are borderline disposable. The lifetime of them won’t really matter much in the grand scheme of things.
I feel this. I use my wok for everything. Would like to upgrade to a carbon steel one.
It’s no different from GPT knowing the plot of Aliens or who played the main role in Matilda.
It’s seen enough code to recognise the pattern, it knows an author name goes in there, and Phil Nash is likely a prolific enough author that it just plopped his name in there. It’s not intelligence, just patterns.
Ah you’re right, Taiwan wouldn’t be independent, because in the case of a Chinese attempt at occupation, the U.S. would swoop in and occupy it themselves “liberate” them.

Well, from a personal perspective as a developer, maintaining an app that’s scraping another website for data doesn’t sound like a lot of fun. It’s not exactly enticing to put a lot of effort into something that could be broken on a whim.
You mean a Reddit scraper? The other day I saw someone present their project RDX, which if I understand you correctly is just what you’re asking for.
Conceptually this is really cool, but the hole punch is oddly misaligned on my Pixel 6, so I can’t imagine it looking good.
Why?
I mean even if it doesn’t it’s not like something new won’t crop up in its place. That goes for literally everything Facebook provides.
They’re not irreplaceable. No company is.
I somehow hadn’t heard about that. Though I’m also not surprised.

Naomi Novik wrote a lovely book inspired by it called “Spinning Silver.”
