 Classic Restaurant Style Tortilla Chip Oven Anonymous (ID: nt/LkFbW) 09/29/16(Thu)03:20:57 No.1530509▶

A small, sleek and portable kitchen appliance with easy pre-set buttons that'd heat up your Mexican tortilla chips to that classic restaurant-style warmth, that could easily be tucked away in a cabinet.

The device would be a huge hit at parties, get-togethers, etc. but also for dinners, or something to better your midnight snack. This could spark a dinner trend of having the tortilla chips with your dinner meal always be expectedly warm, too. Middle America is going to love this.

Both young and old alike would enjoy this product:
>young guys wanting to have heated chips available for their friends as they play video games
>old people not wanting to mess with any of the trial-and-error routine of using other appliances.
>People camping outside that'd want a hot & easy snack
>Parents buying it because their children demanded it
>Couples buying it for their partner as something cute and fun
>A company buying it for their lunch room

Tortilla chips are bought practically bi-weekly in American homes, by all demographics for all types of social situations. The customer base is astronomical - build and market it, and they will come.


inb4:
>muh ovens
>muh toaster ovens
>muh microwaves

Nobody wants to heat up the house over just chips with an oven, and for the microwave or a toaster oven...All microwaves heat up differently, and nobody knows how long they'd need to be put in for; it's trial-and-error every time. Similar with the toaster oven. This isn't even mentioning the mess that comes along with that whole process. Indeed, this is why practically nobody does that.

A circular base with an upright tube attached on top would give it the small & compact design. The chips would be heated up from either the bottom base, or throughout the tube. Once done, the user would pour them out from the top of the tube. For $19.99, what I'm imagining doesn't exist.

BBC: Not enough women millionaires in the 0.1% in Europe

Nitro378 22 minutes ago#1 http://archive.is/v1JEQ There are very few women among the richest people in the UK and other OECD countries, according to a report published by the London School of Economics. Out of the wealthiest 53,000 people in the UK in 2013, only 9% were women. The report examined tax data from OECD countries where couples made separate tax returns. It said a wealth "glass ceiling" appeared to exist, with women a distinct minority of the very wealthy. The UK showed the lowest number of wealthy women in that group among the six countries that could be compared. Professor John Hills, co-director at the LSE's International Inequalities Institute, which is publishing the paper said: "Right at the top it is still a male world." "Woman have managed to increase their representation in the top 10% because of their success in the professions and business, but few of them are among the very wealthiest." Co-author Alessandra Casarico, associate professor of Public Economics at Bocconi University in Italy said: "Women now make up more of the top income groups, but they are a distinct minority and they become rarer the higher one climbs." "Composition of income is important: In the old days, the rich were those with property; they have been replaced by CEOs and entrepreneurs, among whom women are not well represented." Sam Smethers, chief executive of the Fawcett Society said it was "depressing but not surprising" that women were not better represented among those with the highest incomes. She said: "There are structural and cultural barriers at work here and we have to proactively address them if we want to see more women progress." "Unconscious bias, with men recruiting in their own image from informal networks, a male-dominated, long-hours culture and the unequal impact of caring roles, all contribute to perpetuating a no-go area for women at the top. It has to change." Have we officially reached the peak of vapid liberal feminism?..

jayj350 42 minutes ago#1 I mean nothing personal to PC enthusiasts but just sorta gotta call out the whole PC elitism movement. I really don't get it. They pretend like everyone already has a high-end gaming PC they can easily upgrade with a graphics card to outperform a PS4 Pro/Xbox Scorpio and like a middling spec gaming PC is somehow a better proposition for people than a new high-end console. It is like they simply can't understand why people don't want to deal with a PC and just get a game console. I feel like they must not have much of a life or something. reportquote

Both play video games, if your goal is gaming that alone makes a console comparable. If you do work with your PC, like most people do with their PC's, you shouldn't need to worry about gaming performance. reportquote

Life Sympathy 28 minutes ago#14 The "PC Elitism" is just the fact that PC gaming is objectively superior in the performance it can produce with games than consoles can produce. That's it. I don't care for what system you primarily game on (and most PC users don't care either). The minority of the s***heads in the PC community that have to push it beyond that to putting people down for not using PC happen to be very loud. I'm still in the mindset of Miyamoto’s philosophy in that content is king with games in general. You can have something look absolutely beautiful to the point of perfection with PC and still be utter s*** because it just sucks at everything else. We're surrounding you.

SF_Okami 15 minutes ago#31 PC gaming is better, to me it just comes down to what the individual likes more. There should be no argument if console and PC is familiar to the individual and one likes one more then the other. If people want to like their xbox more then PC like me, then there should be no hostility. Some people just dont like PC gaming. People need to chill. If you want to just go by facts PC of course is better, but facts dont mean anything since it is all personal preference.
