Pyrex bowl, wire wisk, cast iron dutch oven on a hot plate. Works for me. It’s been decades since I’ve met a woman who can cook anywhere near as well as I can, even with all the gadgets.

“I want the fucking rest of the deal too, po-lice without computers and cameras and digital shit . . .”

One of the other reasons I only ride fixed wheel push bikes these days. With the crap sort of seperated bike paths we get I can even feel a bit like ol’ T.E. letting a Brough Superiour loose on a farm road.

Up to and including getting punted off after coming over a blind brow. Only these days the overweight punter was on a plastic bike (because a light bike is faster), dressed in neon plastic clothes, topped off with a plastic twat hat.

And what caused her to veer straight at me and force me off?

That’s right, you got it in one. She was messing with her iPhone.

Fucken ridiculous.

BTW I heard from some other ornery old bastard that the current biggest problem the US “cyber warriors” have with Russia is that the fuckers are still hardly connected. Can´t fuck with their infrastructure at all, still the “middle ages” over there.
Which is of course supremely unfair to the Cybercowboys, heh.

Maybe you´ll have better luck finding vestiges of your good old times over there.
Then again you´ll have to deal with Russians. 😉
