That's branding, don't believe everything you read. An air fryer is just a portable convection oven and we had a FlavorWave in the 90s. Got it off a tv infomercial because we wanted to cook outside in the summer so we wouldn't cook the whole house.

Might want to look into countertop convection ovens like the NuWave. I find the rack more useful than a basket and the size is great for the occasional roast. Been using one for 30 years.

We had one of those in the 90s.

Come on, mate, it's just bog standard everyday nationalism and imperialism. Don't need a God to be a monster.

The smell immediately told me I had unlocked the magic.

I added diced green chile to one once and now it's hard to have it any other way.

This was revealed to me as a kid when we'd put hotdogs or ground beef on there since most (not all) frozen pizzas only do pork as a meat option.

Rotpriest shenanigans aren't new, but it's fun how much that deck is not in the current meta but can still compete against most of it.

I'm running Rotpriest poison (until I just discovered a bug) which is a hand full of protection/evasion and it's so much fun to have them buff up a mouse or Tifa and then I just Unsummon it. Set it up again, mate, good luck.
I mean, sometimes they can, but at least i made them think.

I've got food allergies. Some people take it as a personal attack when you don't have a brownie. My family has issues that don't overlap, when Dad died it was a mess of people trying to to feed us despite our insisting they shouldn't.

I'm trying to get "don't eat just because I'm bored" to stick, mixed results.

And then in the morning you need to figure out how to get up while chained.

Using this app I found out that what I thought were five different birds was one Song Sparrow with a bit of range. I think it's got the area outside my apartment claimed, I hear a couple of others early morning but they all stop when the Sparrow starts.

Yeah, I've had those sorts of things. I had to tell one friend who carefully sourced everything "I appreciate the effort but to me that smells like death, not yum." I've avoided some stuff my whole life because of cross-contact and that poison reflex doesn't just turn off.

That's a good point. Talking to a lawyer first doesn't mean straight to lawsuit, it means when you talk you know what leverage you have. In a serious conversation empty threats can undermine things.

My favorite is when they make a big deal of accommodating me in some way different to what I asked for and I have to say "you already showed you weren't paying attention, I don't trust you not to have fucked this up too."

...actually, I haven't a clue if any of the community still uses f**. I haven't been in those circles in 15 years, and most of it I saw then was Birdcage-style hyperbole about older gay culture.
comment in response to
post
Since nebbish has an actual meaning and f** has multiple ones (that'll still get you punched using them outside the community, and at least half the time inside the community), I think you're sliding the wrong word. She restated what she meant in the next sentence. Which doesn't make it better.

Today was the high school graduation of a kid I've been gaming online with since she was old enough to chew on her dad's keyboard. I watched the stream and only knew it was her turn when Discord chat exploded.

I once missed a step while carrying a bag full of soda cans to recycling. Fell right on top of it, which broke my fall and also sounded so horrifying two neighbors came out to check.

I flat out said "shame you can't use it on the block" and then reread the card. Heck of a combat trick.

Some day I'll be awake enough to pull my phone out while it's still singing.

I just got the Merlin app. "What's that one?" "Sparrow". "What about that one?". "Sparrow". "That one sounds different". "It's the exact same Sparrow."
There's one in the very early morning that sounds like an electric motor that's about to break, but it stops as soon as the Sparrow wakes up.

"It's okay, nobody died" is for stories like Exploding Whale Day, not attempted murder.

I've been having a weird day with people tho keep scooping when I'm dead on board. I play one card that shifts the momentum a little but not enough and they panic. Don't know what they think I have. Sure a 6/6 is scary, but no trample and you have a dozen chump blockers!

It solidified the character to me as "this guy's a cunning politician, but he's still a Klingon."
comment in response to
post
Gowron's line at the start of the episode about "have you ever tried to fight an idea, Picard?" Has stuck with me. In contrast to Worf and Martok putting honor over everything, and Duras putting ambition first, that line felt like it came from a place of Klingon pride but not blind.

I swear I've sung that one at services.

I had a build that generated mushroom boys on kill, pumped everything on spawn, and my main guy could cleave enemies. When he attacked the game would freeze for a few seconds as all the triggers went off.

That one I knew, but oddly I only put the same process together for cherub a couple of years ago.

Also Rom and Leeta are adorable and I'm glad they didn't do her with Bashir.

I still hold that the Ferengi are some of the best characters on the show but the episodes focused on Ferengi are some of the worst. They need non-Ferengi to play off of. Every Ferenginar episode is a hat on a hat.

When you do creative text work on a set, is there a time you can't even tell people you did that? I'm imagining a new set gets announced and someone has to invent a conflict to miss the TTC speculation episode.

Nah, this one just can't be a PPR for reasons involving Square's agreement with WotC.
comment in response to
post
Legal stuff. Every UB partner agreement is different, and Square got approval rights on promo content before it goes out. A reasonable ask (which is why Wizards agreed) but doesn't allow for live shows.

People can make all sorts of excuses for being around terrible people. It's one of the reasons terrible people get to keep being terrible.

I've never had a radiator issue, but I have had "got back from the hike realizing you should've brought twice as many water bottles" issues. Some days are just extra dry somehow.

I grew up in the desert and was taught to keep a few liters of water in the trunk just in case. Still do, try to remember to swap it out every other year or so. Hardly the best water, but when you need it it's delicious.

Yeah, if I hadn't found out right around the same time I made him indoor-only (it's healthier and he was getting in fights with local raccoons, afterward one would climb the tree outside to taunt him) I would have had to figure out what to do about it.

I forgot the key thing: they always cleaned up before coming home. Looked pristine, like they'd just circled the building once and gotten bored, but when begging they looked like they'd been through a war zone.

We found out when one of the families feeding him caught Heisen long enough to get my number off his collar. It had been going on for over a year.

My cat and the downstairs neighbor's cat liked to play together, whichever one was let out first would wait for the other. We later found out that they'd go roll in the dirt to get mussed up and pretend to be ferals to beg around the complex.

This is seriously undermining my "it's a celebration of a Jewish child's journey into adulthood NO NOT LIKE THAT" explanation.
