@sdpp99 Instant, reliable, great syncing, cheap… I will shed a small tear when old-school radio goes away.
@Bufty_Grifter Coat pocket? Since the carrier bag charge I do seem to find forgotten stuff there more often.
For all our innovation, there is no better house-wide audio streaming system than an FM radio tuned to the same station in every room.
@chubbybannister I find it helps with those scenes if you imagine that they’re elephants rather than cows.
@chubbybannister Think there’s a stall like that at the Corn Street flea market, every Sat.
@veschwab Yeah, that can happen. You probably got upgraded to one of the high-gravity rooms without even knowing it.

@Marnova I’m assuming that’s true for cakes and things, but this little fella has a specific porridge setting that’s meant to be pretty good
@Marnova Yeah, I think I’m getting there. It’s got a timer so I can pre-soak overnight and auto-start the cooking in the morning, too :)
@Marnova (It’s really good for rice, and made ace maftoul last night. Porridge is going to need more experimentation.)
@Marnova I’m enjoying most of the experiments. I left this one on the “keep warm” setting a bit too long, though.
