    Nope. For that, you need a croissant and my friend who tried to warm one up by putting it in the microwave for 10 mins!
    (Note this requires replacing the microwave after each use)

    Ha! Not just me then. After trying to see what happens when you microwave a CD at university (whilst supposedly learning stuff) - answer being "a dome of cool electric force surrounds the object", I then made the missus a jacket potato some years later as her waters were breaking. Ten minutes each side, turning halfway through. She hasn't forgotten that slap-up gourmet cobblestone treat. And I've still not mastered the microwave, as evidenced by my burning broccoli in a steamer last week.

    Back before the mists of time, when dinosaurs roamed the suburbs, a friend of mine got out of cooking duties in perpetuity by cooking a steak dinner for his new bride, and "mistaking" the cocoa powder for gravy granules.

    Not going to try that or else I wouldn't get owt to eat at all. I do all the cooking here (as well as the washing, cleaning, cat stuffs, shopping, washing up, etc etc...) as my wife is partially disabled and can't stand up long enough to cook or do the washing up. She just does the sopping ordering as she can do that from bed.

    Excellent choices. I have a fenix 6 pro and can't recommend the fenix watches enough.

    We both had vivoactive 4 watches for the last four years. But my battery started acting up and I thought about replacing it already. Since Garmin support is awesome, they offered me 20% off for the new watch because my old watch was acting up.

    Gave in to peer pressure and bought an iFixit tool kit. It's very nice, very very nice. If the next few months go well I may have a moment of weakness and buy the big toolkit as well.

    I have one of those, been particularly useful.

    The angled tweezers came in handy for tick removal too (I may have mentioned once or thrice) :thumb:

    We have these for tick removal. Just have to learn the twist & lift technique. I've lost count of the number of ticks we've removed from the cats over the years.

    I was quite happy with my tick twisters for a while but after a few years they seemed to lose their ability to grip?

    I have some cranked tweezers now and they seem to work well.

    Dirty little bloodsuckers :grr:

    Decided to go big or go home for my home storage needs and ordered an EMC-KTN-STL3 attached storage with 45TB raw storage (15x3TB)

    Admittedly it's not going to help with my data hoarding habits...

    Obviously not, 3TB disks isn't enough.

    Nice.!

    How does one connect up one of these guys to a pc? Just an external sas cable? Or are these things fiddly and need special drives and cables and cards

    Lovely rack. I like a full rack.

    Anyway, what on earth do you store! Or shouldn't I ask?
