  • It actually heats up faster than gas and I’d highly recommend people invest in steel and iron pans anyway. They work with induction, are basically indestructible and thus last a lifetime, and are healthier than nonstick pans.

    I keep a nonstick but use it exclusively for scrambled eggs. As that pan only gets used for 1 thing, it lasts infinitely longer too.

    I got my main cast iron and steel pans for £20-30 each. I’m confident my kids will inherit them. It saves money and is better for your health, highly recommend the small extra initial investment.

    And yeah, induction is awesome, screw gas! Oh, except for woks.












  • That sums up my experience too, but I have found it good for discussing functions for SQL and Powershell. Sometimes, it’ll throw something into its garbage code and I’ll be like “what does this do?” It’ll explain how it’s supposed to work, I’ll then work out its correct usage and solve my problem. Weirdly, it’s almost MORE helpful than if it just gave me functional code, because I have to learn how to properly use it rather than just copy/paste what it gives me.

    Absolutely agree with you, it’s about finding that value curve, where quality scales well with price. Say the cheapest ‘something’ is $10, the $20 one is twice as good, the $40 is maybe 70% better again but the $80 might only be 10% better than that.

    As a beginner, I’d go for maybe the $20 option or the $40 if I were confident I’d stick with it. But yeah, it’s a pain when your ability to enjoy or succeed at a hobby is hampered by buying the cheapest option off AliExpress, haha.

    I was absolutely obsessed with SR2 as a kid, replayed it so many times.

    I think they could and absolutely should reboot it. The lore, the characters, the world was really something else. I think if they were to revisit it and utilise modern advances to really go HARD on the atmosphere and world design, it could be amazing.

    The Dead Space remake is a perfect example of this. It’s stayed mostly true to the original and used the new graphical and lighting technology available to make the environment and atmosphere so much deeper and more immersive. I’ve heard the RE4 remake also did it well but I’ve not played it yet.
