The instructions may recommend preheating, but with the two air fryers that I've had in my life, for both of them I found myself taking off last minute or two because it tends to overcook. Doesn't matter if it's anecdotal, directions are words on paper and they can't understand the reality of the rules they set.

The people who write directions aren't thinking of use, they're thinking of legal consequences. Any company that makes an air fryer would rather have you burn your food than eat it undercooked.

As an honest answer, no preheat time. But I have an air fryer-pressure cooker combo, so the air fry is more of a bonus. If you already have a connvection oven, yeah there's absolutely no reason to get an air fryer.

I'm surprised he kept his job so long, seeing how poorly he managed his own risks....

That sounds like the "American Sovereign Citizen". Maybe if they just believe really really hard...

Space Station 13 on the BYOND client. Someone has a space station 14 play test available on steam right now and I'm desperately trying not to get into it

Well, we can dig deep enough for the context at least. For anyone interested in the facts:

Sir, that's NOT true & you know it! It's got nothing to do with your skin colour. Starlink is welcome to operate in South Africa provided there's compliance with local laws," [Clayson] Monyela [Senior official of foreign affairs] wrote. "This is a global international trade & investment principle." And later on in the article, "[There are] local Black Economic Empowerment rules that foreign-owned telecommunications licensees sell 30% of the equity in their local subsidiaries to historically disadvantaged groups."

And just to be clear it's local subsidiaries not the entire Starlink business. He's just upset that he's being required to follow local laws, and hasn't been able to find anyone to bribe into rewriting them for him.

My understanding of this is that it is caused partly by bone conduction. It might be possible that closing your ears by pressing frimly on your "tragus" or on the "mastoid process" could reduce the associated effects. The mastoid process is where the jaw meets the ear.

My employer uses Cigna and with them it's $1,300. They keep asking what my pain level is and I keep telling them none. When I explain to them why I'm not getting the surgery yet they seemed absolutely baffled for some reason. They tried to get me to sign up for a medical credit card offering zero APR. I told them does zero APR mean also $0 a month, because that's about how much I can afford. And again they acted like not moving mountains and stirring the oceans was a me thing. Absolutely fucking wild.
