It definitely uses less electricity than the full sized oven.
Heats faster, and cooks faster.

Lurch

Was he trying to dehydrate plants in there? JK, looks like a steal for the price.

It's quite a nice oven. The metal base sits on a plastic base, and moisture gets in there when you cook stuff.
They say you should always have the plastic base in place "to prevent electric shock".
If I roast ...

It's actually both. The temp range is from 100℉ to 350℉.
I think my other one goes from 100℉ to 400℉

A meal I made with the Brio air fryer, and cooked the bean threads separately :
(Shrimp, eggs, potatoes, plantain, carrot, cauliflower, red onion, black eyed peas, EVOO, etc.)

My 5 year old Gourmia air fryer GAF575 5 qt AF quit the other day, and would not power on again.
I looked up info, and could not get it to power on again. I think I overcooked some plantain slices, and it overheated and damaged it.
So I bought a new NuWave Brio 4.5 qt air fryer on amazon, and I ...

PS : So anyway, as I admired this orange Prius around 2012 or 2013, and took photos of it,
a woman walked up and said "why are you taking photos of my car?"
When the car was offered to me, at a Mazda dealer's used car lot, I thought it was
a rare find to find a well maintained Toyota with only 108 ...

Hi - I love "loud" cars. I like other drivers to see me more. School bus yellow is nice too, or Kawasaki green.
My first new car was a '71 VW Super Beetle that was "Clementine" orange.
I saw a car just like my Prius, and orange too, when it was about new in 2012 or 2013, parked just up the street ...

2000 Harley-Davidson XLH883 Sportster.
Can't beat it. 50 miles per gallon city, 60 mpg highway and insurance is $110 a year!

That's great as long as you're OK with the wind and rain, and cold.
I get a little less than that with my Toyota Prius C. :pics:

Netscape Navigator was a browser I used for many years.
I think it was also Netscape Communicator.
They were good alternatives to MSIE.

Remember Netzero dial up internet? I got that for years, for like $10 a month or something like that. It took half an hour to download one song. Also Freeweb? I ...

Over time, I've come to prefer the FF browser the best.
I like the word editor that comes with it, and I like that you don't see youtube ads when you watch videos there, but on DDG browser you do. FF starts fast. There can be a delay sometimes when you click on an image on facebook in FF, but it's ...

The "Zero" water filters pitcher are similar to RO water because they reduce the TDS down to negligible levels.
I think it's better to keep the minerals and filter out the bad things like heavy metals, etc.
Brita doesn't remove fluoride, but I think Prill water contains something like 31% less ...

Water down in FL is pretty hard, I do use a whole house water softener. It reduces the TDS and makes water softer. It does help reduce carbon build up on faucets/showers, etc., but it wouldn't remove any dissolved chemicals. I would just look up the quality of tap water in your area, it is usually ...

You're lucky if you happen to have safe tap water.
That seems to be a rarity these days.

What do y'all use for water filters? Years ago I bought water from a vending machine at Kroger's, in 3 and 5 gallon jugs. That's kind of a lot of work bc water is heavy. Then years ago I bought an RO system for my kitchen sink, that filters up to about 98% of TDS, but TDS means the water has been ...

Here's something I like about FF, its home page.
I found this article there, the "batagaika-crater-gateway-to-hell" which is quite interesting.
+1 for FF.
It comes from the Popular Science magazine website.
PS was once a very interesting magazine, which is probably now more popular as a website ...

One thing I don't like about the DDG browser is that it gets advertisement videos before youtube videos like I get on my WiFi TV.
I'm not sure if there's a setting I can change to stop that, but on Chrome or FF, it doesn't happen.

Lurch

I removed Fireproofing for this site on my DDG browser.
Is that OK?

I like the DDG browser quite well.
It does pick up a little SPAM email on my Gmail folder, but I can use FF to do my Gmail.
FF has some hesitation I'm not too fond of.
I guess I can keep 4 browsers on my PC without any problems.

My parents let me start drinking coffee at quite a young age, though I can't remember exactly how old I was when I began. Then I drank coffee a lot as a teenager and through my 20s. I love a coffee with a cigarette, but I quit them both in 1982 and these days I think a cup of coffee would keep me ...

Thanks for thinking of me.

I'm getting to be "older than the hills".

I went back to the DDG browser. It works nicely and it's a bit faster than FF.
I even seem to like the DDG search engine fairly well.

How about a bowl of grass fed beef soup with low carb vegetables?

I know what you mean. I actually deleted my Yelp account about 6 months ago. I figure... who really cares? So much of those or any reviews are probably sketchy at best. Like you said, they make you feel good for a minute but after that... who really cares?

FF is a slight bit slower than Chrome and MSE, but I'm OK with that.

Lurch

Firefox is fine if you like it, most of the main browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) are good. "Brave" is also an option.
I don't like the Edge bloated home page and settings either, but you can turn all that off in the settings and change your home/new tab page to some simpler search engine ...

FF has a nice punctuation editor add on.
It's different, plus I like the privacy.

I've had a habit of leaving a negative review when I had hard feelings about a local business, but that only seems to help for a short time, and at times I would have been better off to not leave any review at all ...

I'm perfectly content with Chrome. I've tried everything you've mentioned except FF and Edge. You mentioned that "I Couldn't use google search on Chrome". That just doesn't sound right. I think it's actually the default search engine for Chrome.

It was probably because DDG Brave changed my ...

I'm logged in with FF now.
Would it be worth running FF instead of Chrome?
I like the way MSE runs, but I don't like their home page.
It seems good so far to be running FF.

I had been using Chrome for quite a while, then saw some info about DuckDuckGo (DDG) browser so I tried it for a few days, then when I couldn't use google search on Chrome or MSE, I got fed up with it and removed it. Then I was reading about Firefox (which I used for several years, many ...

I made this smoothie today with a banana, some blueberries, a date, an egg, 1 TBS of whole flaxseed, and some water.

As soon as flaxseeds are ground and the fatty acids are exposed to oxygen, they begin to oxidize and go rancid.
By buying flaxseed whole, you're getting a fresher product and you can grind them or blend them yourself.

Lurch

I have read that the best way to consume flax seeds is to buy it as meal and not seed form. The rational was that the beneficial oils are not exposed and absorbed while in seed form and they just pass through the body. In meal form you get the full benefit.

I don't eat whole flax seeds. My Ninja ...

The blade on my Ninja BL454 was acting up. I was feeling heat on the blade axle after making a smoothie for quite a while, then the other day it almost wouldn't turn at all. It sounded funny and would not turn at a consistent high speed. I could hardly turn it by hand.

So if you had Castrol or Quaker State 0w-20...it would be just like water too when you pull the dipstick when cool.

I personally don't find these oils to be as watery as PP 0w20.
It's easier to check the oil with Castrol or QS, I've found.
Not a big deal anyway.

I added just a dab under 4 qts ...

Penzoil 0w-20 will be the same "viscosity" as any other brand 0w-20.
When reading oil weights, the first number is the viscosity when it's cold (the W came out to stand for winter). The second number is the viscosity of the oil when up to engine temp.

So if you had Castrol or Quaker State 0w-20 ...
