When I was a kid I’d play Fable The Lost Chapters as a regular villager. I’d buy a house, get married, equip a stick (because you had to equip a weapon) and just walk around interacting with the other villagers.
Eventually I’d get bored though, so I’d out-of-rp murder my wife, then “discover” the body and go on a rampage through Oakvale.
It sounds so much worse written down.
I wasn’t but you make it really tempting. I also love how I’ve been on many a different server, and each one has been completely unique in design. It really mastered the balance between a survival exploration game and creative sandbox.
One of the things I like is because induction works by directly heating the metal, on the rare occasion something does spill over it doesn’t burn nearly as badly because it only gets residual heat. Wipes off really easily.
They also cool down very quickly if you have children or pets to worry about.
I’m glad I made the switch. The pros far outweigh the cons for me, and with the pancakes/crepes I think it’s just a learning curve.
My frying pan extends over the ring by about an inch all around, until now it was never a problem because whatever I was cooking was getting stirred, but this morning I tried making pancakes and there was a very noticeable raw ring on the edge when the middle was fully cooked.
However, I think this is likely an issue of experience. I’m not used to cooking pancakes on induction so if I had used a slightly lower heat setting and let the pan properly heat up I think I could have avoided it.
Induction can be very quick to achieve a high temperature on areas with direct contact, but if the ring is small only the middle part of the pan will be hot enough. For things being stirred that’s not much of an issue, but if even cooking is a big deal for you then it might take a bit of practice getting the pan right.
Do you mean a full hob (e.g. 4-6 spots) or a single plug-in ‘hot plate’ type dealio? For the former Bosch or Hotpoint should be decent enough, I don’t know if they make the latter though. I personally stay clear of Beko but that’s not because of their hobs, used to have a washing machine they made and it was awful.
Either way we made the switch to induction earlier this year and love it. Just check your pans are magnetic first, or be willing to replace them!
As a .NET developer with a strong dislike of JavaScript being able to write a frontend using C# is fantastic. The only complaints I ever hear about it is actually around Visual Studio support and not Blazor itself.
I really hope it takes off.
Does Blazor count? I’ve done a little with that. Mostly though, no. My job doesn’t require much frontend work and even if it did it would be jQuery at best.
I don’t think you’d really need to either unless you genuinely enjoy being at the bleeding edge. React, Angular and Vue aren’t going anywhere any time soon. That could be laziness talking…
What fascinates me about these things is, if it is “about” to go supernova, then it already has, hundreds of years ago. We just haven’t seen it yet.
