  • 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







  • 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






  • 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
