And nothing of value will be lost.

Basically, Firefox only crushes a handful of elderly cats while everyone else crushes kittens by the shipload.

I'm at a loss for options...

I also do paper towels for the bulk, though I try to do it while the pan is still a little warm, and may even heat the pan up a little if needed, so that if it's a fat that's solid at room temperature, I can treat it the same way as oil.

Most games that spark a Tetris Effect with me, where I'm still playing them in my mind while I've put them down hours ago, are industrial automation games. So the likes of Factorio, Satisfactory, Captain Of Industry.

Bloody US Defaultism 😒

I'm quite the Type F fan:

• The plug is recessed, so half-plugged plugs have their pins inaccessible.
• Most modern Type F plugs are Type E compatible, as well as Europlug compatible, which means that if the plug doesn't need to be bulky, it won't be.
• Most modern installations have shutters in the pin holes, which both need to be pushed aside, making it impossible to plug in a foreign object. This unlike the Type G, where you only need to plug in the ground pin to reveal the live & neutral.
• The plug is symmetrical, making it easier to plug in a device in a way that makes the cable work for the user. Besides, having live & neutral plugged into specific sides of a device is not that important for daily use by the average Joe, and if it is, you can just flip the plug.
• The plug is inclined to land on its side, so if you drop one and then step on it, while it still won't be comfortable, it at least won't be as painful as stepping onto a Type G.

Because it's a hot mess trying to accept both type F and type L. The traditional type L socket has three pins inline. The pin spacing between Live and Neutral for an earthed device using type L is wider than using type F, so plugging in a Schuko won't work in normal type L sockets. However, some type L sockets have extra, smaller holes at Europlug spacing, to accept ungrounded type C plugs.

The picture here shows two Type L sockets with Europlug expansions on the sides (C/L combo), and an F/L combo in the middle.

Even fairly rural Europeans will consider that to be at least cycling distance.

I have four supermarkets in a radius of about 500 metres. Not only do I regularly walk, I pretty much buy only what I need for a few days, safe in the knowledge that if I need something now, I can be out & back in under half an hour, also knowing that most supermarkets here are reliably stocked with just what I need.

A suit of plate armour, and maybe a shield or a weapon.

In the defence of some of us, like myself for instance, I live in a country where we can do literally jack shit to affect American political bullcrap, because it's nowhere near America. I'm pretty sure Europeans are excused from having to stay up to date every moment, unless we can force the rest of the world to be continuously in the loop about... idk, whatever crap Geert Wilders is up to right now...

Or if you're like me and see a thread, be all like "Oh, that could be interesting, I'll check that later," and put your phone away for a few hours, and then, when you finally get to check the thread again, and refresh it just to be up to date, you see it's been permanently deleted...
