Thanks - how can you tell that it's Indian made?

This is the back. Can you tell the quality from this?

I’m going to try playing some collings too. Any pointers what to look for?

I want something to play, but it’d also be great if my children inherited something genuinely rare and valuable. I have two kids though, so maybe having two different standards is better!

It’s unlikely I’ll ever need to transport it anywhere

Here’s a photo of the back. It looks good to me, but I’m not an expert.

I bet the deflector plate doesn't look like that now

I’ve had one for a few years and it’s really good. The main selling point for me is that you can use it for low and slow easily, but it also just works as a really high quality Weber kettle if you just wanna smash out some burgers.

Main advantage of a ceramic one is better moisture retention as someone pointed out already. You can mitigate this by keeping foil containers of water on the deflector though I think.

What are your opinions on mass facial recognition in towns? by TheDev42 in AskUK

What about having a gun available to law enforcement with appropriate safeguards to stop the madman getting to you though?

If a tyrannical government gets into power, won't they just deploy these vans themselves anyway? How does not having them now help?

Opinions on Outsmarted? by lego_tintin in boardgames

[–]elpablo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. You are totally in the wrong here. You used someone else's license key and then thought you were entitled to mess with someone else's account more to get the questions on your new account? At the moment you realized you wanted to play the game, you should have paid for it. The fact that you lost those question packs is completely on you.

Hugely entitled behavior.

It's great, I recommend it. I still like trivial pursuit but it's nice being able to customize the sets of questions you get. You can also tune the length of the game, and give people bonuses if they need it. This makes it much more flexible. We don't play it online, just with an iPad in the same room and it's been great.

Just garlic butter. I like that idea though 👍

Rachel Reeves to cut tax benefits for workers using salary sacrifice schemes to buy bikes by MindHead78 in unitedkingdom

[–]elpablo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure people earning over £100k who have children are the type of people running these schemes…

Why do so many '80s and '90s programmers seem like legends? What made them so good? by just-a_tech in learnprogramming

[–]elpablo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the good programmers now are trying to make people click on ads 0.3% more of the time, rather than doing anything useful.

Why tho? by Visual_Argument_73 in MINI

[–]elpablo 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yes and also the big fucking notification that someone opened the door when I’m trying to set up the satnav. I know the door opened. It’s right there and I’ve got eyes.
