2 hours max in the danger zone. More than that will get people sick.
Air frying a frozen chicken is like the perfect way to burn the outside while keeping the inside raw.
The Google Nest Mini is a smart speaker, not the smart thermostat with a similar name.
I mean, come on. Being not too proud to ask for help, allowing someone else to feel useful and genuinely being appreciative of their help? That's pretty fucking hot to be honest. Maybe I'm a slut for being made to feel useful and appreciated.
OG sandals involved socks always. Granted fashion has changed a bit over the various millennia since the invention of sandals and socks.
Strange New Worlds catches the feels of TOS without feeling dated. It honors the best of TOS, Next Generation, DS9, and Voyager, but leaves behind the parts that don't really work anymore. There are women on the bridge and Rick Berman's shadow is long gone. Although there is still some interpersonal drama, it doesn't feel nearly as center stage as it did in Discovery, focusing more on the adventure and focusing less on ACTING-centric monologues that made Discovery unbearable sometimes. I wouldn't call the politics luke warm, though they are maybe a more subtle and less center stage than they were in Discovery. In general, my feeling is that Strange New Worlds has distanced itself from all the parts of Discovery that didn't work for me.
My chief gripe is that Spock is often way more emotional than makes sense.
-A millennial that watched every episode of Next Generation at least twice, once when they aired and again from VHS tapes when my dad got home from work. I guess I've watched them all way more than twice now.
I've always just wiped the squeaky hinges down with petroleum jelly because it's what was immediately on hand. I don't bother wiping away too much of the extra closest to the moving bits. It works its way into the hinges well enough. It doesn't smell. I've yet to have to re-apply to any hinge, even years later.
Not just typical. It should be celebrated. I for one throughly enjoy seeing cross cultural exchanges of any creative type. Exotic doesn't need to be derogatory or dehumanizing. (it's really unfortunate that it most often is.) Everybody is exotic somewhere.
Git gud.
This is only looking at emissions. It's absolutely not considering the consequences of the heavy metal mining that is required to produce those massive batteries. It also totally ignores the problem of how to dispose of, reuse, or recycle those old batteries once they can no longer be effective in your vehicle.
Obviously we ultimately need to dump internal combustion engines, but focusing solely on emissions is a kind of green washing meant to convince you to consume. The 3 R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) continue to be the most effective way for an individual to limit their environmental impact. Those first 2 R's are all about reducing by taking public transport and re-using that older car (and keeping it well maintained to reduce consumption), not going out to buy the newest electric swastika.
It doesn't work. Too much heat on the outside, but not enough time for that heat to get to the inside of an even slightly thick cut, especially if it's frozen. Phase changes take a lot more energy to cross than simply heating through the same temperature change. That's also why those fake ice cube things that aren't water (stone, metal, etc.) really suck at actually chilling a drink as well as plain old ice.
