I have used the Chinese high speed rail and it's awesome. Better than flyingnand and so cheap. I am so jealous.

Would 700-800€ be cheap to you? That's a reasonable estimate I've seen.

I could follow just fine. I just found it a not very good movie. It was convoluted for the sake of being convoluted.

They are. They are okay. But very messy to eat.

Even without that it it's better. For one gas plants have a high efficiency. On the other hand even if you have efficiency gains you still have no VOCs, much faster heating and no open flame. Gas loses a lot of heat by it just flowing up the sides of the pot. Induction literally heats up the bottom of your pot with magnets. Yes there are transmission losses. But it's really amazingly fast. I can make my steel wok glow red in about 10-15 seconds seconds if I use the boost program on my stove. And it is not even a fancy stove.

For reference it looks pretty much like this:

I can't agree. I can keep my pots ripping hot or barely simmering. And without delay apart from the heat retention of the pan. If I set to 2-3 I can let stuff simmer for hours with little risk of burning. I think most people have just not used a proper induction stove top. And mine wasn't even very expensive.

Not at all. My wok is a simple steel wok. Cost about 20 bucks. No coating no bells no whistles. But perfect for induction. It loses heat quickly but thats what you want for real stir fry. You have imidiate control over the heat on the wok.

Induction is so much better anyways. And I don't mean that induction plate that costs a few bucks and you plug into an outlet. I mean a real stove. My pans are hot in seconds. My wok starts glowing in 10 to 15 seconds. So much faster and better than using an open flame. And safer with all the fire and VOCs and such.

I thought long and hard about what it would mean to me if someone called me "not a man" for anything I do and I came to the following conclusion: nothing. I can do all the same things with or without the label "man". Funny.

The steam deck competes with consoles and most of the pc world. It has different form factor but it is a pc.

Same. I played it with steam link on my Pico 4 and it runs great. And it's a phenomenal vr game.

 

I have had my Creality Ender 3 Pro for a while now and I have upgraded it quite a lot. Lately I have been thinking about wether I should put in some more money (better hotend, maybe new steppers, maybe enclosure, maybe part cooling fan) or if I should buy a new printer that is a more of complete package. A bit more build volume would be nice as well.

I am intrigued by the Bambu Labs printers but I don't like their somewhat proprietary approach. So I have been looking around for competitors and I saw that Creality has shown their new K2 Plus with an AMS. I wonder if it's worth waiting for that. The specs sound good. Is the K1 good now? I heard it had some problems in the beginning.
