Yep, I’m well aware that I’m privileged. I’m concerned about the world my kids will live in as they grow up.

This sounds like retirement.

We keep a list of possible meals. Just favourites we’ve gathered over time. Once a week we sit down as a family and work out a series of meals for the upcoming week. Then it’s simple to work out what we need to get vs what we have already and do a shopping list on a whiteboard we keep for the purpose. Easy enough to mark items for purchase later (eg buy fresh closer to when we need them), or add staples as we run out. Whoever is doing the shopping just copies down what’s on the board before they go.

Takes maybe an hour to do as a family, gets everyone involved in and involves the kids in family decision making.

The YouTube channel The Tim Traveller has covered a few (along with a bunch of other esoteric sights, I really enjoy his stuff).

When we built this house we specified power outlets in each toilet for exactly this reason. The low light levels from the motion sensor lamps we have don’t sear your eyeballs when you get up in the middle of the night to pee.

I am choosing to interpret the instructions as dumping a full bottle of pancake mix into the rice cooker, cook twice, then tip out the resulting pancake-cake and slice it up thinly like a pressed ham. I guess slice extra thinly for crepes?

I was in Singapore just last week and I swear it wasn’t so perfectly round then. Did I miss an earthquake or something?

IIRC, the Mandarin for “four” sounds similar to “death”, so it is considered unlucky/inauspicious. I think OP was subtly suggesting that the CCP would rather do something to avoid the consequences of climate change than not. Those consequences including social upheaval, resulting in an unhappy populace, resulting in their possible removal from power.

Different models, not a straight badge swap. Loads of platform & parts sharing between the companies though.

I always lean towards Bosch where possible, mainly because of their charitable work. The founder set things up so that it’s perpetually funded from the company profits. That just appeals to me as the tiebreaker when deciding between a bunch of similarly priced tools that will otherwise do the job well enough.

That said, I tend to go for corded options where practical. I have some corded tools that I’ve owned for over thirty years now that still get occasional use. Battery tools are convenient for their portability, but they do have a limit to their useful life.

We have Volkswagen and Skoda at our place and there are a lot of common parts under the skin. The towbar electrics module I added to the Skoda is badged Audi.

Maybe somewhere in all this stuffing about with Keep they can add the ability to sort lists.

Mine was similar. As a teenager I used to make sandwiches as you describe with instant coffee granules instead of sugar. The granules would dissolve into the butter to form a brown caffeinated sludge. Yummo!

Bad strategy choice. Looked like he was going for a one stop. He was the last to pit for new tyres after a long first stint. Not sure if his switch to softs at the end was an attempt to salvage something, but by then the damage was done.

We’ve got some chicken pieces marinating in some Korean sweet chilli sauce we picked up at Costco. Doing that on the barbie, pairing with some salad, sourdough and a few beers.
