Anon buys an air fryer

Reply in thread

And it moves way more air than a normal oven, thus removing water vapor faster. This water vapor that partly steams the food, resulting in moisture saturated air that in turn prevents more moisture from escaping, is the main difference between a frying pan and an oven. A deep fryer replaces the water with oil, an air fryer just extracts the water quicker. Both prevent the food from cooking in water or steam, resulting in a crispy texture.

Just gotta be assertive

"oy, where's my change?" "What change?" "For the money I gave you" "Besides payment for your 10 Dollar Lemonade special offer, I didn't get any." "But the sign says 1,50!" 1And a nice day to you, too" "Wait! I want my..." "I said: A nice day, Sir."

A dedicated dad joke

Now imagine how fucking sad it would be if he had accidentally put a blank paper in there, thrown out the heartwarming and touching letter he'd written to his kid with all the feelings he never could express otherwise and died thinking his kid would at least find some comfort in those words.

An Algorithm Told Police She Was Safe. Then Her Husband Killed Her.

I really have a hard time deciding if that is the scandal the article makes it out to be (although there is some backpedaling going on). The crucial point is: 8% of the decisions turn out to be wrong or misjudged. The article seems to want us to think that the use of the algorithm is to blame. Yet, is it? Is there evidence that a human would have judged those cases differently? Is there evidence that the algorithm does a worse job than humans? If not, then the article devolves onto blatant fear mongering and the message turns from "algorithm is to blame for deaths" into "algorithm unable to predict the future in 100% of cases", which of course it can't...

The US has so much space

Yep, I cannot comprehend how there is so much space allocated to so few people and they still drown in one fucking housing crisis after another.

If you are going to gobble up that much space for yourselves on this planet that we all share, stop fucking around and put it to good use!

To all wondering: change

media.wmf.hevc.enabled

To 1 in about:config, restart browser, done.

Thanks, mate
