  • I’ve got an induction stove too and found it’s just not quite the same as a flame for wok cooking. There’s a much more noticeable boundary between really hot and not so hot. It’s fine for smaller recipes but a little less flexible once that bottom area fills up.

    I prefer using the side ceramic burner “sear zone” on my outdoor grill because some of that heat carries up the sides of the wok, and any smoke from the high heat is kept outside the house.

    I would recommend the book though. There are many recipes that can use different cooking vessels. Even a stainless steel fry pan can get the job done on induction.






  • While I agree that one should support developers of games they enjoy if they are able, I recently tried another playthrough of this game and it reminded me how unpolished it is.

    Things like

    • Quest NPCs taking very robot-like paths while walking (walk straight for 10 steps, turn right 90 degrees instantly, walk straight 5 steps…) instead of something more natural
    • Needing to wait 5 minutes for an NPC to get to a specific spot and/or complete actions before being able to continue conversation. Typically on the fight missions, you’d win the fight, they’d take 30 s to get up, then saunter over (using an unnatural path) to the designated spot, which then took another 10 seconds to activate the speech option finally.
    • Pedestrians diving into the road in front of your car instead of away.

    Perhaps games like GTA spoiled us, but I just found these too annoying to continue.








  • An HRV tempers the incoming air with the air going out no matter the season. So, in winter, it recovers some heat from the exhaust air and exchanges it with the cold intake air, keeping heat inside.

    In the summer, it’s the opposite. The exhaust air cools the hot intake air, keeping the heat outside.

    It’s essentially always working for your benefit (except for one edge case that I can expand on if you’d like), always providing fresh air and exhausting stale air while helping to keep the interior temperature where desired.

    I’d recommend keeping it on all the time, no matter if you open windows or not.
