Just hold the knife at an angle so the tip hits the board before it goes all the way though.

Easier to use the spoon - you sit the spud in the bowl, and cut until the knife hits the spoon on both sides. Perfect cuts every time.

Seen it done ,but it looks fiddly. Free hand its quicker IMO.

Thats a toast holder! 
(Well, for melba toast  )
Nah, just tilt the knife away from you and cut til the tip hits the board so it doesnt cut right through, quick, simple, and no messing!

roast duck, red cabbage, dauphinois spuds, red wine and orange gravy, steamed veg. And a bottle of Corbiers.
--edit--
Though I LOVE sage and onion stuffing. Its epic, typically british, and typically misunderstood by the continentals.

Macaroni and cheese?

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

I had to look that up:
Quote: Kraft macaroni & cheese dinner ... is a nonperishable, packaged dry macaroni and cheese product.
(Wikipedia)
"Nonperishable"
This is not a word I associate with consumables.
Dry wall, yes.
Food? No.
And you eat this?

My six year old daughter loves the stuff. So yes we ate it.

My sincere condolences ... the only other "nonperishable" consumable I can think of is chewing gum - and that's synthetic rubber (basically polyethylene and polyvinyl acetate which I'd kinda expect food to be wrapped in rather than made of)
Gawd, I hate autocorrect...

Did you ever serve in the military? You know you had a long day when they give you a small carton full of little packages that show a production date that's close to your birth date - and perfectly like it.

I remember eating a tin of liver sausage eight years older than me and it was the best ever!
The fact that I was starving and stuck in the forest with a machine gun and a radar, about fifty km from anything even resembling civilization, probably had something todo with it.

This sounds very familiar.

Dried food stored in vacuum-sealed containers is very close to unperishable. As you know EU has mandatory expiring dates just to be on the safe side.
It's not good food but still better than starving, and it saves many dinners (I usually use frozen goods instead of dried ones, but the cotechino usually comes dried and it has the advantage of not using up valuable freezer space).

Ah yes, me too at about the same hour. This time my girlfriend surpassed herself, it was the best lasagna she ever made - and she never made one below good quality.

Oh boy, do I have a small problem. For the past eighteen months, ever since I bought my current laptop, I have been logging into it using the fingerprint scanner as it is so much easier then typing a pin every time. We'll today I realized how dumb that whole idea is.
This morning I tried to login as usual but the scanner was failing to recognize my finger. So I would scan and rescan and rescan again trying to login in. Well I guess I tried to often.
Now I have a nice login screen that says: "Windows Hello has been blocked due to too many sign-in attempts. To unblock Hello, sign in with your PIN". There in lies the problem. I have not used my PIN in such a long time that I can not remember what it is. Now I am locked out of my own computer.
This really socks. I am hoping that someone here has an idea how to get around this login issue.
Win 10 Pro on a Lenovo E550.
Thanks in advance.

Restore from a backup, and fix the fingerprint scanner?
Or possibly, fix your finger?

How is a broken finger a problem?
Most people come with 7 spares!
(That's an impressive level of equipment redundancy only the US military can claim to beat.)
Sin tack ear lol
Pressing the "Any" key may be continuate

Well I do admit that the finger I use is gimped by an old work injury, but I had never thought of replacing it with a spare.

Fascinating... and no restart options? (I'm thinking safe mode / admin login - yes I'm old).
Hmmm... do you have a password as well as a pin? Maybe if the bios would let you disable the scanner you could get to different screen.
There's also that thing that people used to do with three fingers.
Yes, I know I'm useless but this is intriguing...

No restart options, just Sleep, Shut down, and Restart.
If I could remember the password I would use it. All my usual ones that I have used in the past are not working.
I tried the three finger salute but that does absolutely nothing.
