Air fryer tip: Don't get the really big ones. The strength of the air fryer over a regular convection oven is that it's small, so it gets really hot, really fast, all over, and cleaning is easy.

Manufacturers have started putting frying baskets in toaster ovens and calling them air fryers, except they're not as good at the things you want an air fryer for. They take longer to heat up, they don't "fry" as thoroughly and they're harder to clean.

If you already have a toaster oven, or have use for one other than air fryer things, you could buy the basket and use that instead to save money and counter space, it's just not gonna be a great fryer. But it's still an oven.

Also, just another related unsolicited kitchen advice: Don't buy kitchen appliances with touch interfaces or even just touch sensitive "buttons". Specially ones that you touch with your fingers coated in grease from frying things.

Thank you for attending my Ted Talk.

Those damn communists want ICE to get warrants before invading possible CARTEL MEMBER houses.

They even want ILLEGAL GANGS to have due process and right of an attorney instead of being shot in the streets

What we really need is a healthy mix of capitalism and socialism. By the way, the PRC is a mix of capitalism and socialism because I don't understand either of those things

Bro, you got infinite money. You could be at the beach. You could be traveling the world staying in 5 star hotels. You could attend any concert you want, anywhere you want. You could be gambling millions in a Monaco casino like a Bond villain. You could live in a custom penthouse inside a giant golden blimp.

Why did you decide you want to be a pathetic loser?

If anyone wants to see this in action, one of the Mythbusters Breaking Bad specials test out the bathtub dissolving thing from season 1. In the show they use hydrofluoric acid, but that doesn't work and they move to harder stuff. They don't actually say it's piranha solution, cause Discovery probably wouldn't wanna let them teach people how to get rid of bodies, but they say sulfuric acid and something else "with a lot of oxygen" wink wink

The fan on my previous Intel CPU (bought a little over 10 years ago) went out, and that thing would shut off in seconds from overheating, even without load.
