    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 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.

        Oh.

        Sorry, I’m… actually unfamiliar with concept.

        Is that basically a sausage with a small loaf of bread baked around it?

            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.
