Everything for my mum and me so she can visit the military cemetery where at least the name of my grandfather (her father) is written in a memorial book. He went missing in the vicinity of Poprad just six weeks before the end of WWII and never returned. I've been there in 2014 before the balkan roadtrip, but she has never been there so I organized the whole trip with a couple of overnight stays in Poprad and Prague so we have a bit of time to do something else than just visiting the cemetery.

Is a steamer a non-technology purchase?

Is a steamer a non-technology purchase?

Yes I would say cooking equipment generally counts as non-technology. Unless you mean a steam engine, which is up for debate.

Obligatory.

Neither-nor! It's a clothes steamer.

Ack, foiled again! I've never used one but have heard good things, I'll give the seller credit for a no-BS name too.

I’d very much like to then call them out for selling 750ml of distilled water under a bs name for 9€. Quick maths tells me that’s about a 4000% markup vs a random drugstore…

Damn, you can get 5 litres of distilled water from a car maintenance place for around half that. I know this because I only use distilled water in my cars.
