Yeah! Site was not loading for me (my internet issue) and I didn't realize my message got posted, hence the second one.

How much cheaper would it be if it didn't waste so much on trying to look like a scorpion?
Not really that cool.

$3.5K and the seat covering is PU? Talk about spoil the ship for a ha'porth of tar ... it'll look knackered in under a year.

Yeah, they should have used genuine Naugahyde.

Why would anyone in their right mind invest in one of these? Are there that many rabid scorpio-philes?
(There are probably many more rabid Star Wars fans. Perhaps they should produce a model that looks like a TIE-fighter cockpit.)

The last few seconds of that video...
I don't think I'd ever be comfortable having this sort of thing stretched out horizontally with a big heavy monitor ready to fall right on my face.

I saw .NET 5 RC1 has launched and it made me giddy. Kind of like when we got our new kitchen appliances.
I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Kitchen appliances are awesome. Don't let anyone tell you differently.

I love my gas range and my convection oven. I'm never going back. You can pry it from my cold dead hands.
I cook the most beautiful turkeys in this thing.

Try a Sous Vide as well: I use the Anova circulator, and it's brilliant for steak, chicken, and seafood.
They are just releasing a consumer steam / combi oven: Anova Precision Oven | Anova Culinary[^] but it's pretty expensive, so I'm giving it a miss for a couple of years I think.

I don't know how much stuff I could cook with it. We have a small kitchen. It's not much bigger than one of those kitchenettes you find in hotels, but we took some walls out and opened it up some. Still, not much cupboard or counter space so we have to be careful what appliances we get. It's kind of weird having a tiny kitchen but every amenity in it (gas range/oven, nice 1100 watt full size microwave, dishwasher, etc) but aside from the rice cooker and toaster and coffee pot we don't really have room for much.

I know what you mean - our previous house has a kitchen so small that it held a cooker, fridge and washing machine - and only about 1m2 of countertop. Heck, the sink and drainer were bigger than the counters ...
Now we have a larger one, so I get cooker, espresso machine, toaster, knife sets, breadbin, slow cooker, soupmaker(s)*, "external" vacuum sealer, "Chamber" vacuum sealer, meat slicer, and sous vide / deep fryer (I multipurposed the frier) - and still have room to work!
* One of them is brilliant - great for winter lunches! The other is ... overcomplicated.

YouTube: This Old Tony - YouTube[^]
He's a metalworker (and time travelling lathe owner) but don't let that put you off - he's one of those practical people who know what they are doing with metal, and computerising routers, and ... and who can put together a damn good video to show it. Worth watching, which is rare for YouTube these days - there is far, far too much crap there just for monetisation.

He's into 3d printing big time

He's only just started with 3D printing: he is also converting an old industrial 3-axis milling machine to CNC control ...
