I’m not a fan of single-purpose appliances (microwave notwithstanding), and I recently got a toaster oven / air fryer / grill (so no microwave) and I love it. Haven’t used my full size oven in the 3 months I’ve had this one.

The “Trivection Oven” (as seen on 30 Rock) is a real appliance, and includes microwave heating as one of the 'vections. I believe the microwave heating is just to speed up cooking with the thermal and convection heat for crisping.

Are they a gimmick? Honestly, no clue. I’ve not used one, but the logic checks out and Alton Brown approves.

Bryan Cranston kind-of? He had some minor movie roles before television and then larger movie roles after.

Will Ferrell, technically. Plus most of the other SNL actors who started there and did films later (though many of those were based on SNL skits). Tina Fey, though, plays it straight. She started as a writer, joined the cast of SNL, and did TV and movies later. Granted, I wouldn’t call any of them “movie stars”.

“Poor”

Oh, I’m sorry to hear that!

“No, I mean pour.”

I do wonder what the refresh rate is like on these. I’ve been daily driving a Minimal Phone for a few months now. While I like it, it definitely took some getting used to. While it’s actually quite snappy, it feels abysmally slow even compared to the Cat S22 Flip it replaced (which is a low-end Android smartphone in a flip phone form factor).

I also wonder why they bothered with a camera on it. The camera on the Minimal is extremely “meh”, but the thing that makes it mostly useless is the refresh rate of the e-ink. You never know if you got a blurry mess of a picture or what. The firmware will put the screen into “fast refresh / low fidelity” mode to try to improve it, but it’s still a roll of the dice when trying to take any kind of photo. About the only thing it’s good for is scanning QR codes.

Can we not go 5 freaking minutes without hearing about Donald Trump?

America is slacking as of late.

The fuck I am! 😆

How do you think I’ve been coping with…gestures vaguely in all directions?

I think billionaires shouldn’t exist because we should have appropriate levels of taxation and a “maximum wage” law.

Lemmy thinks billionaires shouldn’t exist and are setting up guillotines.

We are not the same.

I drove fast through what I thought was just a puddle. Splashed a bunch of water up under my car, and my dashboard looked like that for a week lol.

Why would that be relevant or allowed in a politics community? Fuckin’ lemmy.world, I tell you what.

Because rule 1 there is "Post only links to articles? Geesh. It’s not like that’s been a rule for 2+ years and the community a place to discuss actual articles.

When I was younger, I’d have thrown my support behind this.

Now that I’m older and world-wiser, I’m much less on board with that. Cannabis? Fine. Heroin? Whatever, you do you. Cocaine? Absolutely not. Not that I’m against cocaine, it’s just that people on cocaine are really, really annoying.

I have no idea but they keep making them thinner for…reasons?

My personal “sweet spot” is the OnePlus 3. Not too tall, thin but not unbearably so, and doesn’t sacrifice anything for headphone jack and a decent size battery. Though if I had a choice between “thin” and “removable battery”, I’d take the extra thickness required for the battery cover in a heartbeat. I’d also accept several more mm of thickness if they want to include a slide-out keyboard.

This perfectly illustrates my gripes with whatever is driving the trend of these super thin phones.

First, is anyone even asking for phones to be thinner? Then there’s the camera bump sticking out like a wart. And beyond that, it gets put into a bulky case anyway which negates the super thin thing entirely.

That’s not wrong, but in this case, PlatformIO isn’t showing these ads, bit [dot] ly is. AFAIK, only bitly gets the ad money.

Until she crawls out for a presidential run in 2028…

Now, that’s not fair. Come on!

They also protest-non-voted for:

• Gestapo in every city
• A federal war on transgendered individuals
• Tariffs on everything and prices skyrocketing
• Corruption the likes of which we’ve never seen
• Firing a sizeable portion of the federal workforce
• Cutting healthcare for those most at-risk
• Gutting education and science
• Rolling back environmental regulations and speed-running climate change
• and more!

It’s the VSCode IDE that does it, it seems.

Ugh…
