In my experience induction is wildly worse than gas for the cooking experience in just about every way. I'm very surprised to see the opposite suggested. It's slower, less flexible, makes some styles of sauce making impossible, an

Unless you are prepared to pay for 100% of your cloud costs, seed funding or accelerator acceptance is required for the ~100k in credits that the major cloud providers offer to startups. There are light accelerators out there that take no e

Thanks Danny I'll try to whip up some examples. Interestingly I tried my pet peeve search, and it worked for the first time this year! It is for a specific recipe, and I search for 'ocau slow cooked balsamic beef'. I have had

I'm sorry but this has absolutely changed. I'm not sure why but quite often we are suggested results in queries that ignore quotes. The engine is even telling us that if omitted those terms. We don't have control over this an

You likely do and haven't realised. A decent quality upright piano is about $10000. Some kids have go karting or motorcycle racing hobbies. Some have archery, golf, etc. They all cost a lot of money over time. Hell, some kids sail! Tha
