Is this hot plate damaged?
  • I've been cooking some slow recipies that need a lot of heat (a lot of boiling water and slow stewing) under the kitchen fan, and the smell has greatly dissipated, it looks like the smoke was not a really big problem.

  • Is this hot plate damaged?
  • I've already used this hot plate regularly for about 2-3 months already. If this is burning off some other residue, how can I get the smell to go away faster?

    The orange tape bit on the top is actually connected to a light that turns on when the heating coil is on. One of the elements is a power switch, the other is a temperature regulator.

    Looking into the wires, I couldn't find a third wire, so it probably doesn't have a ground, even though it does have a 3 prong NA design.

  • Is this hot plate damaged?

    I was cooking some food when I noticed a burning plastic smell and some smoke coming out of the knob, I let it cool down, and when I turned it back on, there wasn't any smoke but the burning smell returned, is the plate damaged, or is it some stuck food being burned?

    The burning plastic smell seems to be coming from the plate, even when it is dissassembled like this, i can smell it from the centre.

    What are your thoughts on Warframe?
  • I havent played for years, I left right before plains of duviri. I heard there's now steel soul which is hard mode, and theres parkour 4.0 now? Is there still the massive powercreep problem?

    In my old experience, its fun at the lower levels where you don't know the optimal loadouts yet and playing solo so nobody can optimize the fun out of the game, though the game becomes more toxic as time goes on, you need incredibly specific time locked gear to do endgame stuff.

    Grinding is hell, I heard it got even worse, time locked and super rare enemies with <1% drop rates for meta mods or a resource you need thousands of.

    Microtransactions are mostly fine, you don't need to spend any money, just be prepared to grind even more to trade for the super rare stuff in the marketplace.

  • New poll finds strong majority opposes gender-affirming care bans for trans minors
  • Point 1: gender is sexual

    Gender is a social construct around behavioural and social traits, sexuality is who one is sexually attracted to, I honestly cannot see how you can correlate the two beyond "this gender is usually heterosexual".

    Point 2: children should not make puberty decisions unless they are mature, and to be mature they must go through puberty

    If a child is mature enough to go through puberty, then they should be mature enough to make decisions about their puberty.

    Why force someone to go through a puberty they hate, and only after they are finished and the changes become irreversible do you allow them to make a decision on how they wish to mature?

    I understand this point of view because I used to also hold it, but I'm trying to express to you that forbidding puberty blockers causes the exact same problem, someone uninformed on a subject comes to regret their action (or inaction).

  • New poll finds strong majority opposes gender-affirming care bans for trans minors
  • Gender isn't sexuality.

    Do you seriously need someone to explain to you that you can make a decision on one thing and not a decision on another.

    Abstractly explain how a child can make a decision on what to eat for dinner but not who they want to have sex with.

  • Should I reinstall linux mint (error during installation)

    I recently dual booted linux mint on my laptop, and I came across the infinite squashfs error (an infinite amount of "SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page" and "SQUASHFS error: Unable to read data counting up, I think because I took out the usb and pressed enter too quickly) I couldn't do anything, so I shut down and restarted, upon restart, its running fine? No corruption.

    Edit: I reinstalled and waited a while after unplugging before and enter did not work, I hit escape and this happened again, though text is bigger and slower

    How easy is it to switch back to windows?

    I'm considering switching to linux but I'm not a computer savvy person, so I wanted to have the option to switch back to windows if unforeseen complications (I only have 1 pc). Is it just a download on usb and install? And what ways can I get the product key or "cleaner" debloated versions.

    What's computer architecture?

    Is it a physical structure of the chip or is it programming? Because how can linux ARM run on a device that used to run windows x86?
