Right. where’s the actual content, the wording not treating us like idiots? What is the actual improvement?

Yes and no. My understanding is an air fryer is just more convection. No actual definition but some brands have both convection and air fry. But I couldn’t find that with an induction top.

This does have “convection bake” vs “convection roast”, so I still need to understand what distinction they’re making

I’ll figure it out as I cook more. I do have a countertop air fryer that I was hoping to get rid of (I need the counter space) that I used a lot for chicken breasts and stuff. But the ultimate test is tofu. I’ve never been able to make tofu right so if I can use the convection oven to get the right consistency, I’m golden

With US being the leading oil producer and stealing all of Venezuela’s’s oil, we’re positioning ourselves to control the world’s supply …… as the world yawns and continues moving to the future of tech that we helped develop then threw away

Given all the cuts to science, deportation of scientists, and blocking student researchersin the past year alone, I’d claim the US deserves half the credit for China’s impending science ascendancy

We’re not losing the competition, we’re throwing a tantrum and scattering the game pieces …… somehow thinking that’s the same as winning

I really hate how so many of these articles feel like they need to dumb it down with this “artificial sun” imagery. It feels so condescending. I’d rather learn more about the latest progress with nuclear fusion

I just got a WiFi stove that should be marketed as one of those bad ideas.

My requirements were

• induction burners
• air fryer

The closest I could find had all this “smart” crap, and convection oven was as close as I could get to air fryer

More and more I’m convinced “Messaging” was by far the biggest shortcoming of Biden’s administration. They did or started so many things to benefit us all that they never got credit for

It does seem like we need to figure that out. We have lost the distinction that you have free speech, but you’re not free of the consequences of your speech.

We have a fundamental change with the internet, where people’s words can have a much larger impact on the world, while at the same time you’re getting more distance from those impacts, more insulation from the consequences.

In the olden days you could say “the sky is falling” all you want but people will think you’re weird and you’ll be ostracized. You face consequences for your words. Similarly you could scream. “FIRE” in a crowded theater subject to arrest for the panic you cause, for endangering people’s lives. You face the consequences of your words.

Now whatever you say on the internet has a broad enough reach that there will always be susceptible listeners, those who believe or who can be easily convinced. Now with sensationalistic and outrage culture, media, and politics, there will always be someone to “ride the wave” for their own benefit. But when there are consequences, it’s much easier to step away saying “wasn’t my fault”.

We as a society desperately need to reconnect those consequences back to those whose words caused them and those who “rode the wave” to profit their own needs

I mean, it doesn’t make sense to start an expensive investigation over some random streamers bs, nor does it make sense to blame an immigrant community when the known nd prosecuted fraud was lead by white people and victimized that community, but here we are.

People have accepted heat pumps as 400% efficient. This is the same.

And realistically, how do you describe in an approachable way “you experience what would look like an impossible number if we had continued as before”, where the “if” is key, as is “you experience”

Legally he can’t even give a sofa absolute immunity.

However yes, this is him running for president, copying drump’s approach of say it loudly and repeatedly until people start believing it

He can be charged and a warrant issued. He can be a fugitive

Nuance? I’m valid. If I accidentally walk into a bank demanding money, can you spin that?

ICE is valid, but are way outside the scope they have historically been used for, with a flood of barely trained new people, going where they’re not wanted, to terrorize the population on the flimsy excuse of immigrants. They somehow believe they’re above the law and their victims are beneath it. If your “nuance” is this entire mission is criminal, ok. But there’s no nuance saying you can go this far into depriving people of rights, then claim that executing them is an accident

They may not even have a positive id on the shooter, since they hide behind masks - they know what they’re doing is criminal

It’s misleading wording by arse-technica, not Bose. The quoted wording from Nosebis correct and it looks like they’re doing the right thing. After originally announcing they would be dumb speakers, now they’ll continue to be useful and third party apps can continue to use them. Applaud Bose for doing the right thing

Direct your Boos to arse-technica

I wasn’t affected by the Sonos App fiasco because I don’t use it. I mostly use the speakers through Spotify, and occasionally through Home Assistant. I only need the app to set my wake schedule but once it was done, I didn’t need to go back.

Won’t this allow the same? With the API, you should be able to continue using your speakers with local automation, assuming someone wants to implement that.

There are a lot of reasons that wouldn’t fly in the US:

• too tiny compared to the behemoths around. I’d be afraid
• doesn’t say speed but a lot of “city” cars have city speed limits: most people use high speed roads at least some of the time
• as average new car prices pass $50k, maybe people are less likely to have multiple cars than in the past
• legacy manufacturers only build smaller runs of higher profit trims, and have successfully bought protection from competition

When I was married, I did always have a small cheap commuter car, like a Civic, and ensure my ex had the big car that’s also More comfortable on road trips. But I’m no longer married so can’t justify multiple cars. My one car does need to serve the occasional road trip, so I’m more comfortable with my current 300+ mile range.

But there continue to be more full sized pickups on the road and those are what I notice with worse and worse driving.truck guys used to have pride in their driving skills but now they’re some of the worst and just seem arrogant that “I’m bigger than you so can do what I want”. I don’t even think I’d feel safe in my civic anymore and certainly not my old Miata , much less something smaller.

I’m really fascinated by the Slate truck’s simple and modular concept. If that succeeds I’ll be tempted to get that as a second car even with its limited range - it would add capability, a spare resource, and range is plenty for commuting

They do exist, and start with block all apps. I used one such on my kids iPhones. There were a few features of value but notably I cared more about preventing excessive use or staying up all night.

I do start with blocking by default but opened things up on demand. You could argue that feature wasn’t useful but at least it made me think about things before I allowed them.

Now that they’re young adults I obviously don’t have parental controls but it’s also worse in some ways. For both Amazon and apple I’m forced to have my credit card on file in order to use family sharing, but now that they’ve aged out of parental controls my reedit card is too easy to accidentally use

You can’t protect them from the internet, the best you can hope for is to ease them in with guidance and hope they’ve learned enough to protect themselves

Gotta get all that media to have corporate sponsorship and be filled with ads “for the children”

Biden started a lot of things that would have built this country better. You can’t blame him when the next guy seems to run on “reverse everything Biden did”
