  Installed this on my Legion Go today. Took about an hour, all hardware supported out-of-the-box. Hardest part was mapping the controller. Haven’t actually played much on it, but I’m very impressed with the experience so far.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the point of individually wrapping cheese slices in plastic, only to cover a bunch of them in more plastic?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Food tech is kinda my area, so I went and did a little research and it turned into quite a ride. For cultural context, grilled (broiled in the US, I think) cheese and Vegemite is kind of a traditional Aussie snack. Just a slice of white bread with butter and Vegemite, slice of cheese on top, stick it under the grill.

  The Kraft singles I remember doing this with from my childhood absolutely did not behave like anything resembling real cheese when you did this. It melted on the inside, sure. But the outside turned into a kind of plasticky skin, then burned. So you were left with this cracked, blackened, crunchy skin disguising a thin layer of vaguely dairy-adjacent molten plastic goop that was guaranteed to stick to and sear the roof of your mouth.

  I’m not sure when OP last ate them, but the Kraft singles I know got axed in like 2017 when Mondelez sold their cheese line to Bega. That makes it incredibly hard to track down the original formula to figure out what in the world they were really made of. They have, however, since been re-released and claim to be at least 45% cheese, which I suspect is a lot more than the ones I remember, probably does melt, and falls pretty squarely into the “processed cheese” definition according to FSANZ.

  Strictly speaking, yes. It’s better to get calories and marginal nutrients than no calories and no nutrients.

  Definitely seek medical attention though. Eating like that isn’t sustainable and cold shouldn’t last that long.

  The shit they will do to avoid paying actors.
