They're faster than the stovetop by a lot over here, so if you're boiling a lot of water multiple times a day (for tea, coffee, ramen, and whatever else) they're super convenient.

If you're not making many hot drinks (or have better machines for that) I'm not sure how much use they are.

As for cooking, I know for myself, when I make something like rice, I boil the water in kettle first, and it definitely saves me a couple minutes. A few minutes doesn't sound like much, but it all adds up. Another commenter says that they're actually not that much slower over there, so it might be worth timing one compared to stove top?

TIL

Electric kettles (or hot water jugs depending on where you are) are just not a thing there. Apparently it has something to do with your 110v AC system. They don't boil as fast, and so never really took off. Just a little factoid that blew my mind, considering how commonplace they are everywhere else.

worst Bethesda DLC's released of all time

Are we including Horse Armor here?

It's all you can eat though, so there's that

For everyone hating on the inconsistency of the art, I'm willing to bet it was a deliberate choice.

The inconsistency adds to the charm, and means that anyone who was a fan of it can submit art, regardless of skill level.

I've never seen it applied to a game before but it's more obvious when compared to something like Shrek Retold

Yes, because it's so difficult to get a gun in America any other way /s

I just want every keyboard to have a home and end button (I'm a coder, and my current keyboard doesn't have them, and I have to set a binding in every. single. thing.)

This effect is to get [Ross] to stop downloading and disclosing stolen criminal records to protect public safety.

Why him specifically? That's a lot of effort to stop one guy doing what literally anybody with some time and willpower could do? Surely they have bigger problems right now? Fucking pathetic.

No. Threads federation should be treated the same way as a wolf joining a "sheep's right to not be eaten" meeting. Deeply unsettling, highly suspicious, and troubling. Facebook does NOT want the fediverse to succeed, and any claim to the contrary is fucking sus.

I've been using a DS5 for PC gaming over an Xbox controller for a few months now, and it's the fucking best! I'm genuinely not going back. The touch pad acts like a track pad for when you absolutely need mouse control (ui navigation mostly), and you can use gyro to fine aim ala the switch. It's sick! I'm considering picking an edge up exclusively for PC gaming, I'm that sold. I just want someone to confirm the back pedals work. I do wish they had hall effect sticks though.

Wow! They're really struggling to attack him! He's gotta be squeaky clean if this is the best they can do!
