I can fit a baking dish in it so I can use it for many of the things I might want to bake in my oven (lasagna, casserole, small batch of cookies/muffins) but don’t want to heat the entire oven for. It fits a standard frozen pizza, I’ve occasionally baked bread or rolls in it. One of my most frequent uses would be the broiler setting where I just want to quickly brown the top or melt cheese onto something.

One of the drawbacks of my current air fryer is that the fan blows so hard I have to make sure that what I put in there is heavy and secure enough not to get blown around. My son was heating something and put a piece of cheese on it to melt. The cheese was definitely NOT where it was supposed to be when it melted.

Convection toaster ovens have been around for a long time, but for the most part have been “toaster oven plus a little fan.” Air fryers showed up with an emphasis on I’M BLOWING ALLLLL THE HOT AIR!!! I’ll make frozen mini pizzas in my air fryer and have to stab the pepperoni with toothpicks or they end up God knows where lol.

I have both, but would be willing to just have the toaster oven version if it stepped up its blowing game. Until the day comes when one of the appliances craps out on me, I’ll use both.

Someone leaves me out of a group chat due to the color of my text bubble, I doubt there was any benefit to being included in the conversation anyway.

For the love of God could you not?

Is stepson aerosol like knock off store brand aerosol? It’s it also red headed?

Not only that, but no matter whether it can identify a person as a person, cars shouldn’t be driving over objects that are child sized or larger.

The urethra is still separate from the digestive system though.

I work in hospice and see a variety of conditions. Some people in their 60’s with significant mobility issues that are chronically exhausted, but then there’s the patients in their 90’s who just recently started cutting back on social events and activities due to injury/illness.

Seeing these differences was why I started roller skating (again) at 49 and increased other activities to keep my ass moving and challenge my coordination and balance. I want to get everything I can out of this life.

I had a cat years ago that would lose her shit over carrots. To the point when putting my groceries away after shopping, I’d catch her trying to chew and claw through the plastic grocery bag to get to them. I can only imagine they made her happy like catnip because she’d play and chew on them if I gave her one.

Serious question.

Following the assumption that it’s not food safe plastic, what is the actual risk that we’re talking about here? I get that there’s many variables (length of time/temp of contact, porousness and moisture content of food, etc) but let’s say that the variety of foods were stored in a cooler for 4 hours prior to consumption. To do this 3x a year, what are the risks? Obviously this set up left in the car during the summer for 8hrs before eating would be a REALLY bad idea, but wondering where it starts crossing the line from insignificant risk to “you should really think twice.”

I remember years ago Mythbusters tested the “5 second rule” and contamination really had much more to do with what was making contact vs how long.

I wish upon you a bag of dicks which you should eat in its entirety, for having made my look at that ass. Twice.

Then I’m guessing rubs the residue on his gums. Repeatedly.

Can’t let it go to waste!

17 years ago on a Saturday night, just before bedtime, my 4yo son was being a dufus and managed to break his collarbone. Before we knew it was broken (but knew something was obviously wrong) I took him to the emergency room. We were stuck waiting about 6 hours to be seen. The nurse that triaged us was extremely apologetic and literally stated “I’m so sorry you’ve had to wait so long, we’re stuck having to see the drunken scraped knees first just because they came in an ambulance.”

I’m assuming that if my son were bleeding out he would be seen faster, but I’ve assumed that in non-life threatening situations that ambulances receive priority.

Look up Dylan Hollis! He’s on YouTube and tests old recipes - be warned, he brings a LOT of personality lol. I really enjoy his videos and just picked up his cookbook, Baking Yesteryear.

“My assumptions based on incomplete data make me smart.”

That’s what you sound like.

I get being curious, but different people have different timelines and levels of comfort when processing their trauma.

If they’re ready to discuss and let you know what happened, they’ll offer the amount of information they’re prepared to share. If they don’t offer, then please respect their space.

W2 is a tax form employers provide employees that shows what they made, state and federal taxes withheld, and other relevant information. The business keeps a copy, provides a copy to the employee, and submits a copy to the government for record keeping/tax purposes.

1099 is another form that gets referenced as well. It’s a form for “independent contractors.” It’s supposed to be an accounting for contracted work, but it’s often abused. In too many cases across many industries, some employers will misclassify employees to save themselves money and put the greater tax burden on the person working for them.
