I remember playing TacOps back in the day. Some Sundays were literally just me team speaking with the guys (and some girls) while sipping a beer and casually playing our doing team practice. I learned a lot about the different international cultures before I set my own feet out of the country.

When you got plenty of time. First time you make something it always takes longer then expected.

As far as the food implications, see other posts. Now when it comes to lids it's important to know that most pot lids are of a set diameter. So measure your pot and hit up your local thrift store for a couple of replacements. As long as your pot doesn't have an oval shape you could get lucky fairly fast.

Years ago I flew transatlantic and just before landing I got up and brushed my teeth with a tiny travel set. I still remember all the people looking at me with my toothpaste and brush in hand thinking "why didn't I think of that?"

Learn to take care of yourself, before you take of others.

Is there a specific reason your induction stovetop doesn't support griddles? The only requirement I could find is that the griddle has to be flush on the surface, similar to a pan. Other then that I couldn't find any technical barriers.

Adding to that that you can also easily make a separate WiFi network (tied to a vlan even) for IoT. OpenWRT makes this very easy.

Some examples of poor compression: cameras, dashcams, security cameras, basically anything that just dumps an image into a stream.

Give LyX a try. It's like writing TeX in a much more friendly way.

Thank you, just watched Leo and how to train dragon again. It brought a smile to my face.

Steamer with 3 baskets that can be stacked. Never had vegetables taste better and making rice is fire and forget.

I use a little dish and a silicone brush. I think whether or not it will clog will depend on the oil a lot.

You might want to look into opening up a iban account in au for exchanging money. There are several companies that could facilitate that, e.g. wise. You'd probably end up with a euro account in Ireland that way and a aud account to exchange to. From there on you just suck up the conversion rate to aud on a regular basis and you transfer aud to aud.

Bank transfers for private persons in the eurozone are free, highly secure, simple and fast. For businesses transfers are usually a fixed fee, regardless of amount (couple of cents).

Just wait until you watched a certain little Britain sketch. "Bubbles" will be forever etched into your mind.

It really depends how you define reliability. SD cards are physically nigh indestructible, but can show failure when overwritten often. Hence for one off backups it's actually a good alternative. It will start showing problems when used as a medium that often writes and overwrites the same data often.

I would recommend backups on SD cards in an A/B fashion when you want to give a backup to someone else to store safely.

I don't understand why the ads are so absolutely boring and stupid. It's also the same ad over and over again. I mean, make an ad which is a story line which you run throughout the game. At least make people laugh.

Back in the day I bought a fridge freezer combo, second hand, no handles. Used to be a built in model. As handles I used two magnets from full height drives, they were ludicrously strong and shaped like a little bit like a handle.

Full height drives were 3.25" high for those who are wondering.

Keep in mind that traffic in the US is simply more dangerous then in Europe. Traffic in the US consist of a large number of pick up trucks which are heavy and not designed to be friendly to other traffic in an accident. There are more factors, but my key takeaway is accidents versus deadly accidents.

You can read measurements without going to the device itself, instead, you use a phone or similar. This also means that a device doesn't require a display. Consider an outside thermometer as example. Home automation allows you to draw a little graph giving you a good idea how cold it got. Let's add another measurement device, say a radon meter. Again, no display needed and you could stick it somewhere less accessible.

You can make home automation as silly or useful as you want it to be.
