Also a question of optimizing its use
100% efficient!!! You're using all the energy to do meaningful work!
Setup sponsored by Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, to have a real toasting effect.
A completely valid pannini press, imo.
Like this is literally the 'modern problems require modern solutions' meme.
I've used older PC battlestations of mine as 'bonus' spaceheaters more than once, lol, sorta like those 'pocket warmer' apps for phones that would just run some absurd computation that would redline the cpu, hahah!
I have a little "tradition" of doing a playthrough of very hardware-demanding stuff in winter. Tarkov is one of my favs for this since it's unoptimized as hell and the post soviet aesthetics really fit the season
I may get flack for this but mine was the Cinematic Mod version of HL2.
Not because I wanted ... the terrible 'cinematic' music, or ludicrous XXX character model 'upgrades'... I genuienly liked the revamped maps, greater texture detail.
I waited until winter to rip my DVD collection because it meant hours of high throttle on the PC.
I had some frozen imitation crab legs that I wanted to eat, but didn't want to microwave proper. I put them on top of my PC's GPU radiator and ran a stress test while watching stuff so it would thaw faster without overheating.
That's sausage-bread though
Oh.
Sorry, I'm... actually unfamiliar with concept.
Is that basically a sausage with a small loaf of bread baked around it?
Sorry it's a sausage roll in English; it's called sausage bread in Dutch
https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saucijzenbroodje
Ah ok! I don't speak Dutch, but it looks like a kind of ... flakier, pastry style bread... honestly looks delicious!
Closest thing I've personally had to that would probably be a piroshki/pirogi, or maybe a calzone, but those both use more... bready breads, if that makes any sense, lol.
GAH! Unless you personally disinfected them and wiped them clean of disinfectant, GAH! Know how many people play footsie with those?
... Some people keep track of their power bricks and know where they've been.
... Never thought 'good cable management' would become a hygiene/sanitation issue, but, apparently it is.
Not me. I leave my power bricks at the bus station and tell them don't call until you have daddy's money.
... so... you're saying I can rent a power brick from you?
noo get the oily greasy food away from technology 😭
The resulting grease fire will increase the electrical power->heat conversion calculation to over 100%!
We need you to get on the Haron collider asap
What are you, afraid of fire? This is progress. Cavemen were bold and progressed.
