The air fryer suffers from the same problem as microwaves and toaster ovens.
Featuritis.
Too many buttons.
This is a new appliance in our home. There's been a lot of consultation of the manual.
Tonight it's chicken thighs.

That thing when you use half a frozen bag of peas, and no matter how carefully you seal the bag, when you put it back in the freezer, the peas make a run for it.

Shout out from the northern hemisphere to folks in the southern hemisphere. Thanks for sending us so much daylight.
🌞
We'll start sending it back in about 4 months.
My contribution to the wonderful world of unsport.

@aegir The first things I think of when someone says "no milk for me" are a) dairy allergy, and b) veganist. c) Turned off milk due to my housemates' fridge habits … is a new one for me. 🙄
Making moussaka.
I know it's a little lambitious. 😂
I'm just wondering about the bechamel or roux that goes on top. Both of those words are French, not Greek. Shouldn't I be making a bechamelaki sauce or a rouxtaka, or something?
Do you ever wake up and your entire blanket is sideways? Or the duvet has mostly exited the cover?
This is why I must sleep alone.

These photos illustrate why cycle lanes need to be physically separate from where cars drive.

There's someone begging outside a grocery shop.
Do you ask what they want you to buy them? What their allergic to? No, they might glom on to you, or tag along. That's uncomfortable.
Do you pick items for them as you do your shopping?
🍏An apple, a bottle of water, and a package of mixed nuts are rich in calories and nutrients, can travel, and will keep without refrigeration.
🥯 A fresh muffin might crumble, but a bagel wouldn't. If the flour is fortified, it'd be nutritious, though does lean toward empty calories.
🧀 A package of cured meat or hard cheese can travel, are high in nutrients and calories, and would last a half day without refrigeration if it's not too hot outside.
🪥A toothbrush and tube of toothpaste can travel. So can deodorant and a pack of wet wipes.
For people who are struggling but don't want to accept charity (shame and pride 😢), when you let someone help you it's good for THEIR soul. That's a gift you can give in exchange.

I don't understand why LinkedIn wants to know someone's browser extensions. What could be the purpose?

Thank you, no.
My remarks were made in a northern European context, aimed at people in that same context.
I have no understanding of your cultural context.
The fish were moving a bit faster. I went out to take the water temperature. It's 9°C, which is above the threshold for feeding.
So. I fed them a bit.
They're pretending they don't know what's going on.
Fine. The food will float on the pond until one of you grabs a brain and starts the whole school frantically scarfing the food.
Decided to footle my way over to the chip shop for some delicious fried cod.
Discussing the unwatched half of tonight's movie, which is deferred to tomorrow.
We think the hero thief will walk away alive, in the end, but without the girl.
What is this cast-iron device?
It's way up high in a kitchen from the days of wood and coal. It could be cranked from below, and would cause the horizontal bar to rotate. The text on the iron box that holds the gears in place says "James Tuck" and then some illegible words.
Was this to open a roof vent?
Thoughts?
Feel free to boost.

Breakfast today is pork on a fork.
Fried. Yum.
And I ask myself, "Why shouldn't wart-remover solution come in a brown glass bottle just like the vitamin D drops you put on your tongue?"

Daffodils.
Also, the first tulips are poking out of the ground. They will have red flowers, unless the squirrels have been busy digging up and reburying.
I just ate a carrot and a handful of almonds, which are plant-is so I'm counting it as a vegetable. And if it's not, then I'll combine it with the other nonvegetable, mushrooms and say "close enough".
Along with the spinach, cucumber, and imminent celery, that gets me to 5 vegetables, today.
I was just reading a web page. Halfway doen was a page element that said, they can't show you any custom advertisement until you accept the relevant cookies.
My first thought was: Good.
My second thought was: Then SHOW a random advertisement, so you at least get some revenue.
My third thought was: Is it that you can't show a random advertisement because your advertisers don't want that? If they only want their advertisement shown to site visitors they can TRACK, then 🤬 them.
My fourth thought: The EU GDPR¹ is working as intended.

I have a feeling Stephen Colbert is trying to push U.SA broadcaster CBS and his country's government into ending his show earlier than the May 2026 cancellation date that CBS previously announced.
Spinach and mushrooms.
Is that one vegetable, or two?
I am wearing two hoodies over my long-sleeved T-shirt, and NOT because it's sexy. It is cold, even under these bed covers.

I've been enjoying reruns of Big Bang Theory, but this evening I reached a tipping point.
I am no longer willing to put up with Sheldon's baloney, and have begun fast-forwarding through those scenes.
Ditto for Wolowitz and his astronaut braggery.
I may soon need another show to watch. 😣
The digital translation is identical for each of these phrases.
• I'll stay here.
• I'll just stay here.
• I'll stay right here.
• I'll be staying here.
• I'll just stay right here.
• I'll just be staying here.
• I'll just be staying right here.
No nuance.

It looks like street-by-street air-pollution data isn't available just to view. It's not totally clear, but it seems you have to sign up to see the pollution data, but signing up involves putting a sensor on your bike, and they don't accept just anyone; they want geographic dispersion.
Long story short: This air-pollution data is not available for Santander sharebike cyclists to view. 😦

In their Mastodon profile, some people mention, "This is my personal account." It suggests they have more than one account.
Do you think there's anyone out there typing both sides of the same conversation using different accounts?
One rubbery stick of celery has just had a centimeter sliced off, and it is now sitting in a glass of water, to regain its composure.
Then it gets mayonnaised, and chewed to bits.
I have to put my phone down to floss my teeth.
So I end up sitting on the bathroom cabinet, not flossing.
What colour was the robber's hair?
It was hair coloured.
Bye, February.
The sky is blue.
It isn't even 6:30am and it's already 21°C.
I have a small electric heater in my bedroom, which is also small.
I switch it on in the evening, and it heats the room while I scroll on the small screen of my phone.
Then I turn down the heater when it's time for me to fall asleep in my small bed.
Some pickles are away pickles. Some pickles are home pickles.
What kind of pickle are you, today?

I was just thinking about #Mastodon accounts.
If you migrate to another server, in theory your followers shift with you, right?
Does that include followers you have muted?

is then the media shines a light on the practice of shunning sinful young men whose fancy turns to spring.
Or is it their spring that turns fancy?

E-bikes do typically go faster, so brakes would have to work harder. Perhaps that is why they are so worn?
Worked most of the day. Ate too little. Went to bed.
The rain woke me up, and my stomach wouldn't let me go back to sleep.
Just chewed my way through several handfuls of sunflower seeds.
Back to bed. My alarm will wake me in about 6¼ hours.
Washed my jeans yesterday, and dried them in the sun.
My grandma told me: dry whites in the sun, darks in the shade or they go crunchy.
Sorry grandma. But I am thinking of you.
