A completely valid pannini press, imo.

Like this is literally the 'modern problems require modern solutions' meme.

I've used older PC battlestations of mine as 'bonus' spaceheaters more than once, lol

I had some frozen imitation crab legs that I wanted to eat, but didn't want to microwave proper. I put them on top of my PC's GPU radiator and ran a stress test while watching stuff so it would thaw faster without overheating.

I have a little "tradition" of doing a playthrough of very hardware-demanding stuff in winter. Tarkov is one of my favs for this since it's unoptimized as hell and the post soviet aesthetics really fit the season

I waited until winter to rip my DVD collection because it meant hours of high throttle on the PC.

I may get flack for this but mine was the Cinematic Mod version of HL2.

Not because I wanted ... the terrible 'cinematic' music, or ludicrous XXX character model 'upgrades'... I genuienly liked the revamped maps, greater texture detail.

Oh.

Sorry, I'm... actually unfamiliar with concept.

Is that basically a sausage with a small loaf of bread baked around it?

Sorry it's a sausage roll in English; it's called sausage bread in Dutch

Ah ok! I don't speak Dutch, but it looks like a kind of ... flakier, pastry style bread... honestly looks delicious!

Closest thing I've personally had to that would probably be a piroshki/pirogi, or maybe a calzone, but those both use more... bready breads, if that makes any sense, lol.
