Yep and all those climate deniers will be sat with egg on their faces when the earth corrects itself and slaps us in the face with a prolonged ice-age or some other global effect to correct temperatures.

Or flips into a Venus-like state.

Switch to induction. It's way better.

The other half was really reluctant to not put gas in for cooking, but wouldn't ever go back now:

Woman almost broke our oven last week (Well she thought she did, her sleep deprived state made her forget to set the temperature and she panicked..) so I went down a rabbit hole of looking at ovens and replacement hobs (Gas > Elec)

I'm torn. Love cooking over gas coz fire hot and fire make man (etc etc etc) but in our old house we had induction and it was rapid. The newer ones look awesome too.

 

[Raven]

My gas hob refused to work, when we replaced it, after about a year of fucking about with a lighter, I realised I had unplugged it at some point.

Next oven will be induction, but every one I have used has wank controls.

I once looked at induction and quickly threw that idea out of the window when I realised I would need to buy new pans etc as my existing would not work.

If you've got teflon pans you should chuck 'em out anyway m8.

Nope, all my stuff is stainless steel. No Teflon anywhere.

Even 100% stainless steel will still work on induction hobs, it's still iron and magnetic, though it might be a bit less energy efficient than more compatible stuff.

I thought when I looked into it that the base had to be a certain type or something, it was many years ago when Man had first learned to heat his food.

For best results yeah, you'd go for carbon steel or something with a ferromagnetic layer added. Stainless steel since it's only weakly magnetic you would have to crank up the power setting for a similar result. It's why if you'd bought expensive high-end copper pans you'd be screwed, they aren't magnetic at all.

 

[Raven]

My pans were a wedding present, 20 odd years ago, proper chef pans. Would be irritated to replace them.

 

[Deebs]

I will go check mine in a mo, my main one is my pasta pan, holds 1000 gallons and enough pasta to feed southern England in one go, that I think is fully stainless steel.

 

[Embattle]

Stainless steel pans normally have an internal core of aluminium, so they can work with induction. The titanium ones we have are a sandwich of stainless steel on the outside, aluminium in the middle and titanium as the cooking surface.

 

[Deebs]

Right all the small pans are induction safe, just got to look at the pasta pot but that will wait till later, got errands to sort first.

FTFY.

Ferrous metals. You need some level of iron. Magnetism.

 

[DaGaffer]

I think the confusion here is that people think "Stainless Steel" is non-magnetic; some stainless steels are non-magnetic, others aren't. Induction compatible stainless steel pans will have 304 stainless cooking surface (this is the non-magnetic bit) then an alloy core (for conductivity) and then a 430 stainless outer which is magnetic.

Joys of having a metallurgist father. Bless him. Jesus, 20 years gone this year.

NB. Neff are great induction hobs, highly recommended. Just don't drop anything heavy on them.

 

[Scouse]

Yep. We're in the middle of spending a fortune on some Mauviel pans to go with some Staub cast iron (and our Lacanche oven).

Yes. We've disappeared up our own arses, but those'll be the pans we die with and they do add a joy to cooking. But you don't have to break the bank - you can get really good cast iron, carbon steel and induction compatible stainless steel relatively cheaply.

Those jurors are going to feel pretty stupid when they realise that they "don't get tech".

What next for big tech after landmark social media addiction verdict?

The ruling could be the beginning of the end of social media as we know it, writes the BBC's technology editor Zoe Kleinman.

[Scouse]

We'll see what happens at appeal eh?

I understand the jury took nine days to come to a verdict!

Anyway - the plaintiff said she got addicted to youtube age 6 and instagram age 9. Has she prosecuted her parents for being disgusting lazy fucktards? Do you think her mental health might have something to do with the fact that she's grown up in that sort of environment?

I mean, we could put in credit-card based age verification for everyone eh? And maybe a personally identifiable hard token can be given out for internet access. If we get shot of encryption whilst we're at it then the internet can be government-authorised and officially "safe" - like the rest of the world would definitely be.


Personally, I think anyone on any of the social apps probably deserves some level of mental health struggle.

I've told you this on this forum before - the chances of Earth ever ending up like Venus are pretty much nil.

We don't have huge clouds of sulphuric acid, and Venus atmospheric pressure is about 100 times ours. P = VT and all that.

Second attempt at a heat pump install started, this time not with Octopus (who I am very disappointed with from the last time), but a Swedish lot called Aire.

Been quoted about 6 grand after the £7.5k grant. I will be glad to get shut of this old and noisy gas boiler.

Not nil. It's an edge case, but it can't be ruled out. If you get runaway effects, feedback loops that accellerate it, then it's still feasible.

Considering the oceans have bailed the earth out so far with over 90% of all the excess warming... can't be ruled out.

I spent quite a bit of time at uni studying Venus (whereas you just studied Uranus WAHEY! ) and I can tell you - the chance of Earth ending up like that is probably less than zero. Nada. Ain't gonna happen, etc etc.

Mars is 96% CO2 iirc, and that's cold as balls.

Hope you're doing it the Scandinavian way, and installing a log burner as well.

As if you aren't, you'll have to give your air con unit a day or twos notice when it gets cold.

 

[Scouse]

Mars doesn't have hardly any atmosphere - no magnetosphere. The solar radiation has blown the atmosphere away, so it's kind of hard to have a greenhouse effect.

We've bags of vapour just waiting to happen
