  1. You can put a silicone mat on the cooktop so you dont need to be as gentle with the cookware. Magnetic field works through the silicone so heating efficiency shouldnt be much affected. https://www.ikea.com/nl/en/p/baktradition-baking-mat-white-turquoise-60480167/ This mat withstands 450F. Common oven liner products are said to withstand up to 500, 600F. For size matching the rule is match the size of pan to the cooktop, but if there's a mismatch, use the larger cooktop grid... which is not a problem for induction because only the part in contact with the pan will heat up.
  2. AI being genuinely useful. I asked Microsoft Copilot to rephrase those paragraphs as a normal person would instead of a psychopath: 1. I want to join a strategy session and use my skills to help. I look for better, cheaper ways to improve. As a leader and team player, I share ideas and challenges to work together. I support having a diverse team for better results. I find solutions before presenting problems and welcome feedback to improve. I’m not afraid to challenge the norm and push for better outcomes. 2. I turn leadership strategies into clear actions and goals. I promote a customer-focused, innovative, and continuously improving culture to help the company grow. I create systems to track progress and measure success. I build partnerships across teams to improve processes. I lead events to expand market reach and increase brand awareness. I develop and mentor staff through onboarding, communication, training, and performance management, ensuring the team is motivated and has the right skills.
  3. You know what they say once they go shaq they dont come baq
  4. Everyone makes fun of contrived corpospeak. This is from the profile of a native-english speaker working in our marketing & communications department, if you can believe that: This is her description of her previous stint outside the company. Across her entire career her actual job is as a coordinator for trade show events... education ... graduated "Cum Laude" from.... *drumroll*........ DeVry University
  5. i love getting 23 miles out of my tires
  6. YOU KNOW DAMN RIGHT
  7. you got long balls, larry
  8. The grammatical rule that quotations dont need to be closed if they end a paragraph. If you ask me, it’s a “terrible stylistic practice.
  9. The Model S is 600# lighter than that for 300 more horsepower lol
  10. TV shows with bad and long intros feel so self-indulgent and gratuitous. Succession is terrible. The Star Wars stuff is nice—good music with the helmet renders and then its over in a jiffy, onto the meat of the show.
  11. i would not duralast
  12. i stayed at a Four Points in Houston once and found a 16 year old porno mag right under the tv dresser thing. So either that hotel hadn't been renovated or cleaned in a decade, or some recent guest was a connoisseur of vintage tittays
  13. you mean these?
  14. these new vettes are getting tall
  15. Wife is in charge of paying the monthly municipal fees. Its structured with her bank in an semi-auto way where she receives notification of each bill, and merely has to press 1 button to confirm the payment. Yesterday we received notice from a collections agency for overdue payment related to municipal fees. The owed amount is all of...6 dollars. She didn't handle that. I had to send them a response asking for proof of debt, and showed them that we are current on our municipal account, and declared that we are very responsible household that pays everything on time. And then *I* did a little more sleuthing and discovered that wife paid the October 2023 bill a few days late. The $6 debt was basically a 3$ late surcharge and accumulated interest. And after informing her of all of this, I'm the person at fault for "making her feel guilty".
  16. I think the car themselves have evolved to catch up with the spindle grill. It looked ungainly a decade ago...now it fits in well. IMO many people knowingly buy Toyota/Lexus despite that brand being behind in tech, with implicit understanding that it means higher reliability. E.g., 4Runner being an old body-on-frame design is not a negative
  17. When a fly rubs its hands like this its the absolute best time to swat that motherfucker 1. theyre making peace with god 2. they have no fucking idea whats coming
  18. no joke ive seen them show 2 hour long ones.
  19. I think observing whether people return their shopping carts is an easy and reliable heuristic for their compatibility with a civil society and a legitimate grounds for various forms of legal discrimination, including voting disenfranchisement.
  20. chinese knockoff fleshlights are so low quality
