    Best Bacon?

    I really miss Sillfield bacon - they used to have an outlet in Borough Market years ago, and I've not found anything as good since they left. I know you can order online, but I don't get through enough bacon to justify the delivery fee for an online order, and if I order loads it'd just end up...

    What Virtual Reality games are you playing?

    Picked up Underdogs yesterday. Early days, but loving it so far! Not quite the full-body exercise of games like Les Mills, but it's really fun. I clearly don't spend enough time punching things IRL, because I have plenty of aches today :eek:

    *** The Official Elite: Dangerous Thread ***

    I appreciate this is very, very late notice - but Taranis is go boom in leetle less than half an hour. Hopefully it'll be spectacular! Edit: It was nice to see, but not quite the fireworks show I'd hoped for! Will be interesting to see how it progresses...

    *** The Official Elite: Dangerous Thread ***

    Nobody plays powerplay for the simple reason that it sucks. Maybe if they make it better, more people might play it? Certainly, people have been complaining about how crap it is since forever, so it's a bit harsh to criticise FDev for updating it. Likewise, people have been crying out for new...

    *** The Official Elite: Dangerous Thread ***

    You can buy some AX weapons with credits, others you need to mess about with Guardian stuff. I'm not sure if the weapons identify as male or female, though :confused:

    *****Official BBQ Thread - Suns out, Buns out!*****

    I haven't used it as much as I'd hoped, if I'm honest, but that's mainly because the weather last summer was so bad! The unit itself is pretty much weatherproof, but I'm just not up for outdoor cooking when it's raining. Overall, I certainly don't regret buying it, and I've made some fantastic...

    Spec me a rice cooker

    I picked up the Tsuki, in no small part thanks to this thread, because it was the smallest fuzzy logic one I could find. It's definitely better than the dumb "boil the water until it's gone then stay warm" unit I had before, but for single portions I can cook superior rice myself with a bit...

    So I raided the local Chinese/Japanise/Thai supermarket today

    Didn't even have to quote a different website... https://www.seriouseats.com/cooking-with-olive-oil-faq-safety-flavor

    So I raided the local Chinese/Japanise/Thai supermarket today

    Do you happen to have a link to a study in a reputable scientific journal to back this up? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say "no" :rolleyes:

    Steam VR 2.0

    I guess this is what's responsible for my Steam VR being flaky recently, insisting on opening some stupid additional window instead of starting the fricking game when I select a game from Steam VR Home, and not even bothering to load the VR Home environment half the time. Haven't seen anything...

    Spec me a rice cooker

    No. But a tiny bit yes :p Jasmine rice is not "sticky rice", which generally refers to the sort of rice which forms a lump (for want of a more appealing description) where you'd pull off a piece to eat with your fingers, for example with som tam or grilled pork skewers in Thai food. However...

    Knife Thread

    Can't go wrong with a Wusthof, assuming that doesn't count as "modern looking stuff" :) I have a couple of nice Japanese knives which cost more, but if I could only keep one knife it'd be the Wusthof Classic for its general all-rounder qualities and the fact it takes a little less looking...

    Spec me a blender

    Apologies if this is a stupid question, but when you're talking about blending items individually, do you mean that you'd serve each blended item separately, or is there another reason for doing them individually? Even the smallest blender might struggle with such small amounts of food if you're...

    Jedi Academy (PC/Quest/Pico)

    You'll see plenty of YouTubers with lower subscriber numbers than that being sent free units to review, and they don't have to give them back.

    The **Now Eating** Thread

    A very non-traditional Thai pad see ew, with pulled pork and Savoy cabbage instead of sliced pork and gai lan.

    The **Now Drinking** Thread

    +1 for Loki. Used to really enjoy going there when visiting a friend in Birmingham.

    Takis

    I tried a pack of these a couple of weeks back. The blue colour is just a powder, it's not like blue corn tortillas where the tortilla itself is blue. They're annoying to eat because the powder gets stuck to your fingers and is likely to stain any clothes/furniture you touch, and I didn't rate...

    Troubleshooting my (sold) Valve Index via eBay messages!

    I appreciate this is super-basic and you may well have established this in a separate conversation, but I don't see anything in that thread that tells me that he actually started Steam VR (although it does usually start automatically when you power up a controller). There are blue lights on the...

    What's for Breakfast today?

    Cheers, and apologies, that definitely came out snarkier than I meant it to!
