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.

For the love of God could you not?

American here - it could be different in other states, but as a parent every year at the beginning of the school year I had to sign a specific form during registration stating whether or not I would permit my child’s photo be taken/published. Yes, it’s going to be a nightmare to track, but the school shouldn’t want the headache of the fall out for not pulling a photo.

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!

LD50’s are fun!

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.

Your parents are doing their best with the tools they have, but they’re preparing you for the world they grew up in - not the one you will live in. The things you think are for other people? They’re for you too. You can have them, it’s just going to be a lot of work to get there.

He used the same dreads wig one of the other actors wore in this movie when he played Drexl in True Romance. I love that movie!

I read that in Wallace’s voice.

I’m having it for the first time. Fully vaccinated, on day 5 of miserable. Worst store throat of my life that transitioned into sinus congestion. I can’t imagine what it would have been like if it chose to go down to my lungs instead.

Because I’m 51 with a history of asthma I was able to start antivirals. Paxlovid mouth is brutal, but since I’ve also lost taste and smell, I’m getting used to it. While I understand why some people give up on the meds because of the taste, I’d rather suffer through that than risk worsening illness. I’ve found holding small pieces of taffy on my tongue to slowly suck on has been the best relief.

I work in healthcare and have always been conscious of protecting myself, but had a normal human moment last week and went to a concert unmasked. Be careful out there.

I truly appreciate the fact that I can browse Lemmy for my entertainment, and easily walk away when I need to be an adult and don’t auto smash the button when I open my phone.

To me this is a very, very good thing.

I work in hospice, and unfortunately many elderly households and nursing homes have people parked in front of Fox “News.”

Last year there was a patient in a nursing home I visited who was crying when I got there. She was extremely distressed, watching FN. She was telling me about all the post birth abortions that democrats were having, “just to kill all those innocent babies.” I told her that wasn’t a thing. She proceeded to tell me that she watched an interview with a Dr on Fox who stated that he used to do them, but it weighed too heavily on him so he stopped. She said that after delivering the full term baby, he would hold and comfort the baby while discussing options with the parents on how to “abort” it.

Whatever the interview actually was, I can not say. But if a viewer got that message from something they aired then Fox needed to be clearer in their messages. In any case, they’re toying with the mental health and wellbeing of the vulnerable elderly for their own benefit, which (among many other reasons) makes them evil.

After watching a hospice patient cry because (according to her) the Dr interviewed on Fox News talked about how he doesn’t do abortions anymore after performing a late term abortion where the mother went into labor and delivered the baby before he could kill it, so he cleaned up the baby and consoled it as he discussed with the parents their options on how to dispatch it after the fact. She was inconsolable. But in drinking Fox’s Kool aid, it was the only channel she would watch.

For moral reasons I will take any opportunity to nudge the vulnerable away from the harm certain entities create.

Maybe not so far fetched. I work in hospice, with the vast majority of the patients I see in their 75-95+yo range. While most have no interest in technology, it’s not uncommon for the elderly to have “that grandchild” that helps everyone set up their cell phone, “get the Netflix to work,” set up Ring doorbells, etc. I’ve even known some to ask their grandchild to help their equally elderly neighbor (who doesn’t have any local family) with their new TV. It’s a thing.

I’m going to guess that the upper end of the sentencing for forgery is probably for situations like human trafficking (forging documents) or smuggling endangered species, ivory, etc. At least that’s the level it should be for.
