Wait, N90… I missed that one when I was looking online. Looks like the centre circular one is 32cm, that’s the actual size of my big skillet. Thanks!! If I ever do get to pick my own hob, I’d love to get one like that.
The Siemens one looks a lot like one I got to try at my rich friend’s place one time, bit too expensive for me but I like how well the centre extractor fan works.

Right, I did look at the dimensions. You can’t fit a 30cm circle into a rectangle 23cm wide no matter how long it is though.
Cast iron heats up quite slowly, so any area part not being heated means the pan is still going to be partially sticky, at least in my experience with induction.
Ultimately if I was in the position to be choosing my own hob, I’d probably just also buy a pan that fits the area. I’m not a gas burner advocate by any means.

Unsurprising. Whenever a guy spends this much of his energy screwing with people I start to wonder if he’s got dick problems.
- Comment on Let us end the stovetop war with the real chanp 1 day ago:
Looked it up, seems like the widest zone is 23cm, about 7 too narrow for my skillet. Looks cool though
- Comment on Let us end the stovetop war with the real chanp 3 days ago:
Looks good enough! All the ones I end up with are usually closer to 8" at most, and I ended up shifting the pan awkwardly to heat it evenly.
What model?
- Comment on Let us end the stovetop war with the real chanp 3 days ago:
Don’t get me wrong they boil water faster than hellfire, and if the pan is the right size they do great. I’m just too loyal to my big ol’ skillet
- Comment on Let us end the stovetop war with the real chanp 3 days ago:
Maybe I just haven’t gotten to use a nice one yet - every time it’s a landlord special, cheapest junk on the market.
- Comment on Let us end the stovetop war with the real chanp 3 days ago:
Make one the size of my 12" skillet so it doesn’t create a neat little zone of heat surrounded by sticky cold pan, and I’m all yours. Haven’t seen one yet.
- Comment on Zack Polanski says application of Zionism is racist and no state has right to exist 4 days ago:
That’s fair enough, my only reservation with nuclear is how much runway it needs for rollout, I know some firms have wanted to standardise with a basic unit of nuclear power sort of thing, but that’s also taking a long time. I’ve also seen promising work done in cheap grid storage, so for my money that’s going to be a better “decarbonise immediately, if not sooner” solution.
But nuclear is fine too imo, long-term. Didn’t the greens evolve slightly on that too? I think I heard they’re just going to treat it as another option to weigh on the merits, which is probably their way of saying “we’re not NIMBYs, but it doesn’t beat wind and solar”.

The office is currently about 7000 km away, so a targeted attack is slightly out of budget

I would even go as far as saying such interview-type tests would be valuable on a regular basis throughout a course, if it could be done. People learn really well during personal conversations like that, and the act of explaining an idea can be a great way to crystallize a body of concepts in a way that merely reading about them might never do.
I know institutions would want to fob this interviewing work off onto an LLM, but I know it would be of meagre benefit.
- Comment on Staying productive 1 week ago:
I think the fact is that amphetamines can help you cram, but they don’t help with long-term retention or better comprehension (to say nothing of the more obvious harms). After the test, the stuff you’ve memorised evaporates like yesterday’s breakfast order in the mind of an underpaid waiter. I’ve known people who do this, they don’t retain anything.
I would really prefer that we adopt a more naturalistic vetting method for students than standardised testing. Instead of having professors double as test proctors, there should be a sort of structured interview and staff whose whole job it is to probe student understanding. Test design theory is admittedly quite advanced around multiple choice, but I don’t think they’re fit for task anymore in the age of LLMs and performance ‘enhancing’ drugs.
I don’t know. Maybe my idea could work, but all I know is the way we do things now doesn’t.

Really?
…Shit, I guess I need to actually see this film before I talk about it. I assumed it was mere Oscar-bait and just absorbed information about it osmotically. I wasn’t even mad at them, just thought oh, they found a guy who looks exactly like David Byrne, of course they wanted him for their Oscar bait film.
Those are not the choices I would have made if I was telling a story about the guy who built the bomb. I would have probably drawn a lot more from sources like Barefoot Gen, myself.
- Comment on Surpreisenheimer 1 week ago:
I really agree. For genuinely talking about the senseless horror of those bombings, especially the callous afterthought that was Nagasaki, I prefer Dan Carlin’s podcast series.
- Comment on Surpreisenheimer 1 week ago:
You’re conflating the people who did that and the people who made a movie, if you want to throw a “nukes are a war crime” party I’m already on the guest list, but your comment reads like you’re talking shit about people who don’t like nukes and didn’t nuke anybody, are you confused about that?
- Comment on Surpreisenheimer 1 week ago:
Pretty sure different people made the film. What, are they supposed to be proud so it’s more fun to hate them?

Any word on whether they’ll get paid enough to not be systematically pressured into speeding? Any chance they’re going after bike sellers who delimit their bikes for sale on the quiet?
