I do this, I have a toaster oven that lives in my garage solely for shop use. Have some foil to act as a bit of a heat deflector, seems to work well enough.

I bought a Brother colour laser last year (which on the outside looks identical to the monochrome one I bought 17 years ago that lives with my parents), zero issues, which pretty much has been my experience with printers on linux (also tried a ~5 y/o & 25 y/o HP LaserJet, one being the cheapest thing I've ever used, other being old office equipment, think I tried the Epson ecotank and photo printer my mil has as well)

Bandcamp, I follow a bunch of labels that've done releases I like and have set up a bunch of genre tags, I'll go through every so often and go through releases, see what jumps out at me.

Otherwise, there's a few reviewers I've come to trust over the years, my partner likes angrymetalguy and both follow Rez Metal Podcast. Otherwise it's forums, Lemmy, reddit or other online community.

I wanna say it was something that showed up on my clipboard from KDE connect, may have been part of an error message or status message, should have kept it for preservation purposes

I have zero idea, apparently I managed to pocket comment somehow.

Oh def give it a bit more time, you'll appreciate it. It's usually even easier to work with and gives enough time for some of the more complex flavours to develop (specifically from fermentation).

If you don't think it'll last long enough could do a preferment (like a biga) with upwards of half your flour and a fraction of the yeast (had decent results doing like 0.5g or less of yeast for 500g of flour), can add more yeast to your final dough if you want (I've done similar things to use sour dough discard because I hate wasting it, adds complexity without relying on it for leavening).

Spool3D in Calgary sells sheets of FR4 (the flame resistant version of G10) that are bonded to spring steel sheets. I use with a few drops of the nano polymer adhesive they sell but would probably be fine without (A few drops in IPA seems to do the trick for ABS, lets me spread it extremely thin). I used Buildtak for a while and their surfaces are great, but this was a lot cheaper and extremely resistant, plus I like the surface finish it gives (Also I can source domestically, partly the reason I switched)

Two-spirit it's (to my knowledge) very much tied to indigenous culture, recognising people who fulfill a traditional third gender, you'll see 2S included a lot in Canada, official government stuff uses 2SLGBTQI+.

Pretty much every person I know in Canada has an electric kettle and every single office I've worked in has one, my kitchen has 15a outlets which is still 1800W. I have a simple gooseneck kettle that I usw mainly for coffee, it's only 1kW and holds around 750ml, it's not blisteringly fast but it's boiled before I've ground my coffee.

The whole "120v is holding us back from having kettles" is way overblown (technology connections has a video on electric kettles).

Colour based terms are super cultural too from what I've been told, stuff like red being bad and green being good isn't universal so imo it's not a bad idea to use more explicit terminology.

Beyond that, if you go into reporting and the like, red/green colour coding for indicators isn't accessible (colour blindness isn't uncommon, last job I had a few colleagues with red/green and one with blue/yellow, I was told that making them very distinct shades helps a lot), people also print stuff out on monochrome printers (there's old data viz wisdom that suggested designing for this) so I prefered symbols when I did more of that work, still suggest it when I get asked to review things.

From the 360 Era — Too Human
The control scheme is bizarre at first (right stick is melee) but it works once you're used to it. It's Sci-Fi Norse mythology, I recall it having a pretty solid art style. I picked it up used from either Blockbuster or EB because I wanted to see just how bad it was, ended up enjoying it far more than I expected, I'll give it a "Yeah, it's ok", disc images are readily available if you want to emulate it, can find a physical copy cheap online too if that's your thing.

This is the game that ended up taking down its studio (Silicon Knights, they developed Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem and Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, they tried to sue Epic, who countersued and won, probably added to my initial interested tbh.
