Don’t worry! There’s this new little number called ‘Iran’ coming up. Plenty of opportunity to get rid of them there.

Oh absolutely the west would love to effect regime change in North Korea. Morale win, keep the military industrial complex going, grow the economy, get rid of some pesky poors in combat, maybe hoover up some natural resources.

The problem is China, NK is strategically important to them as a source of said natural resources and as a buffer zone against South Korea. Plus lots of slave labour, global economies can never have enough of that.

So yeah, messing with North Korea means messing with China. Despite some real grade A morons in power nobody has been that stupid yet.

Oh neat, how do those kettles that have a temperature selection thingy for different kinds of tea work then?

No worries, thanks for listening! As with all these things the efficiency bonus is slight, so unless you’re a heavy user it likely won’t represent a saving vs. the energy taken to make the kettle in the first place. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

Out of my own curiosity… what’s an infusion?

Yes, kettles are more efficient at boiling water vs a microwave. On top of that, you don’t need to guess the time it’s going to take, it just goes until the internal temperature sensor reads 100degs and it shuts itself off with a little ‘clunk’.
