  • I can’t recommend any specific model or company. I can recommend getting the largest basket size you can but avoiding anything in a toaster oven format. I looked at dozens of the toaster oven style and every single one failed basic design considerations. And was either wasting heat or creating a fire hazard. Basket design all the way.

    As for appliances in general: bare bones bass models only. The more features something has, the more features there are to break and the way things are designed these days if one feature breaks, the entire thing is useless.



  • I hate kitchen appliances. They break. They take up space. They are difficult to properly clean. But someone gave us an air fryer. It was life changing. They put a perfect skin on any tube meat. They make potatoes crispy.

    You gotta work in small batches but even then it can take less time than an oven, even a convection oven, because of that very close heat source.

    Get yourself an air fryer. Throw out your toaster if you don’t have room. You can toast in a frying pan if you need to.

    It’s a unique disease. Very clear diagnostic criteria.

    Though he didn’t have one normal trait. Did you know that almost 90% of schizophrenics smoke? It’s not diagnostic but that’s a really high rate given that only 1% of the population is schizophrenic yet they account for 5% of smokers.

    Ah. Understandable. Dude was literally in the ER and the doc wanted to remove the hearing aid debris that was stranded in his ear canal. He is screaming that they can’t do it because the aliens will stop talking to him telepathically. Even though the aliens had been talking to him telepathically for decades before he got hearing aids.

    Eventually his wife, my grandma, has finally, after all these decades, had enough and told him that if he didn’t let these docs remove the debris that was causing extensive pain that she was going to leave him. He would have died within days without her because he didn’t know how to cook a TV dinner or have any other other essential life skills. He finally caved. The voices did not stop.
