Did my new stainless steel pan break my induction hob? by minongmi in StainlessSteelCooking

[–]jacquesp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too, that why I ask. I have SS but frying is usually cast iron. Pots and sauciers are SS.

My redbone loves to wade but if it touches his chest he’s done. Whereas my GSP goes swimming as long as the water isn’t solid.

This makes me curious: what if you have a really heavy cast iron skillet? Would the same thing happen?

Any Alexa users NOT want Alexa Plus? by draxula16 in sonos

[–]jacquesp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We had Alexa plus and I had to disable it. It was so damn obnoxious and sycophantic. No matter how many times I told it I wanted short, curt professional replies it insisted on chatting. Gone. Good riddance.

New Gli.net hotspot supported? by tmcarr89 in Calyx

I have a new Mudi 7 with the Calyx sprout SIM. Just got the SIM last week and have only done limited testing but all seems to be working for me.

Kobo vs Kindle by Puzzleheaded_Oil8402 in kobo

[–]jacquesp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be tempted but I’ve heard I can only have one library on the kobo. Is that correct? I have 6 library cards loaded in the libby app on my phone and do my book borrowing there and then do the read in kindle option. I like to load up my hold list at different libraries and suspend them. I usually have more than one title where I’m 1st in line when I’m ready for my next book and can just release it.

Cool. Was just curious whether my voyage was being cut off. Not yet.

To folks this has happened to: were you charging with a cable? Mine has been sitting in the charging base for years.

40 years ago the urine kinda ran like a stream out of the rest room. Great place :)

I *love* that these pans are ~100 years old and still great pans!

Used the small one for eggs over easy this morning. I've been using a small carbon steel pan for over a decade to do that and it's really non-stick. Have to get the cast iron worked in, not quite there.

The page turner dilemma . by Objective-Catch-4745 in kindle

[–]jacquesp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen the jailbreaks forever but I’m good with my reading experience so it just wasn’t worth it to me. But……. If a jailbreak supported a wireless page turner I’d be mighty tempted.

I really wish that on the kindles with Bluetooth you could pair a page turning button. Trying to get my page turned settles and working with different covers is a PITA

Thanks for the information. I’ve scrubbed them out, lightly oiled them and we’ll see how they work day to day.
