An air fryer is a thing I didn't buy. There's a dude on YouTube who compared it with a normal convection oven and other than taking a bit longer, the results were more or less the same.

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:SAXX is the best underwear. And at that price it’s a steal. I like Saxx, but my favorite underwear are a similar REI-branded boxer brief. Preferred them to Saxx or Ex Officio or all the others I've tried. Unfortunately some time in the last year they were discontinued. Dunno if it was supply chain issues or just a usual cycling things out of the product range kind of situation, but it was extremely disappointing.

Inzombiac posted:I have the Instant Pot lid and it gets plenty crispy on the top portion. I hear standalone units do it better but the space saving is hard to beat. Kind of but also no. So a few years ago my family found out I like air fryers and instant pots, and they have become like when people find out you collect owl or frog figurines, so I now have 3 instant pots, (mini, normal, one with the air fryer lid), and two ninja combination pressure cooker air fryers. This year's gift was the Ninja 15 in 1 7.5l https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09C873WR9 and it's designed by a wizard. tl:dr I just sold the original ninja air fryer max because I found the versions with a basket and a lid take a tiny bit longer but the way the air circulates, even with your foil boat, means you have to shake and turn far less.

I'm sorry to have to tell you that the youtube guy is full of shite. It takes half the time in an air fryer, whatever it is you are cooking, which means your food isn't ever going to dry out as much, plus the temperature change when crisping the outside of meat takes seconds which also means less drying out. You can clean it after each use which no one on earth does with a fan oven, and the time it takes to heat up coupled with electricity use means that if you use it daily a £100 air fryer will have paid for itself in a year.

bowmore posted:You can get air dryer ovens now that do both oven and air frying, i assume the air frying just means they turn up the fans or something My wife brought one of these air fryer ovens home and I made her get rid of 3 other dumb appliances on the counter, so that alone was worth cost of admission.

Spent $60 on steam before I even got out of bed. Picked up gta 5, max payne 3, portal, and half life alyx. I should probably pick up a link cable for my quest soon too. Edit: picked up a short high speed usb-c to USB 3 cable and a usb-3 extension cable for about $20, hopefully that works. If not, I’ll eat my pride, return them, and get the official one Coffee And Pie has a new favorite as of 16:04 on Jan 28, 2022 |

Various stuff: A Samsung 34" LC34H890, since work was giving us a stipend to spend on a monitor. It's a cheap piece of poo poo, but I also had a gift card and a bunch of loyalty points, so it was the least objectionable monitor I could find at the retailer and it didn't cost me much.  A pair of 1st-gen Beoplay H9 VERY cheap from our local craigslist equivalent, together with new pads and battery directly from Bang & Olufsen to refurbish them.  +  +  Purchased but not pictured: Shares of a bunch of different index funds for savings for later in life.

TotalLossBrain posted:I have been spending thousands of dollars on boring house poo poo like paint, more paint, exterior paint, trim paint, paint rollers, paint brushes, drop cloths, exterior lights, interior lights, window sill boards and a bunch of other stuff. I remember doing all that when I sold the house I had been in for 12 years back in 2017. Then feeling really dumb when I saw how great the place looked and that aside from the roof which gets redone after time anyway, I could have done all that poo poo when I first moved in and would have lived in a much nicer house for 12 years. I bought a new laptop and tomorrow I'm hopefully gonna buy a buttload of used Lego trains and tracks off Craigslist.

Oddhair posted:I got that headset for my PS4 Pro and it's pretty good, plus when the battery dies (or even if it didn't die) you can just plug it into the controller, so that's not bad for $100. I'm sure it's great, I just hate headsets/cans. My ears get hot...like, unbearably hot and uncomfortable if they're 100% covered. I can't wear that style of headphones for more than like ten minutes.

Was going to buy a new PC, instead just booked an appointment for a transesophageal echocardiogram as supposedly my lower left ventricle isn't working properly. So that's open heart surgery sometime soon.

Anyone have a rec for a cordless vacuum? Hoping to get one in the $150 range, and not the $4-500 range. No pets, but 4 kids. Only one room with carpet, but it's the living room so it gets a decent amount of traffic (all with no shoes on.)

Bought a few Steam games: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1135690/Unpacking/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1587710/Fossil_Corner/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1794680/Vampire_Survivors/ 2 relaxing puzzle games and a non-stop dopamine dispenser. Vampire Survivors is one of the best 3 dollars I have spent recently. Also a Nest Protect smoke / carbon monoxide detector

I think Dyson has a refurb site where you can get deals. I have a couple models of Dysons and they are fantastic. If you can get a deal on one it’s well worth it.

The cordless henry. I’ve tried about 8 vacuums and I find the simplicity of Henry is just unbeatable. It’s basically a shop vac for your house. But if that form factor doesn’t suit you I guess it’s a non starter.

About to drop $4,000 on dental surgery because I pay a premium for good insurance and they decided to barely cover anything. My wisdom teeth are ticking time bombs, so I'm happy to eat rice for a few months.

Bought a new guitar recently. It's a 1996 Japanese Jackson DKMG. Been looking for one for a while and turned out the guitar tech that lives in the woods next to my house had one at his workshop so that was super handy.

I love the Charvel/Jackson crossovers. Especially the ones with the Toothpaste lettering on the headstock. This guitar is exclusively tuned to D standard and has become my dedicated metalcore and stuff around that guitar.

I have a newer version of that same guitar with a trem, also set up in D standard. Motherfucker is a riff machine and just feels faster than any other guitar I have. Glad you got one with the reverse headstock, as god intended

dreesemonkey posted:A refrigerator We bought this LG fridge about 3 years ago…  Ours has the fancy glass door and middle drawer. So far the only trouble we’ve had is the hinge on the water dispenser and the freezer track getting a little clunky. That’s got more to do with the kids being clumsy fucks than the quality. LG makes a drat good fridge.

Does yours do the dumb round ice? We’re looking at moving to a full size LG more or less just like that. And while I most certainly don’t want or really need dumb round ice, it is extremely dumb and therefor my weakness.

Inzombiac posted:About to drop $4,000 on dental surgery because I pay a premium for good insurance and they decided to barely cover anything. I don't think dental insurance, at least what I am familiar with in the US, is really insurance. Annual maximum benefits are pretty low. A major point of insurance is to cover you in the case of unlikely & catastrophic costs. Dental insurance is more like a pre-payment plan for routine dental procedures. edit: I am not a dentist, and will not weigh in on the wisdom tooth extraction. Personally my mom paid for my wisdom teeth to be extracted when I was in high school. But for the future: since dentistry, like medicine in the US, is fee-for-service, as a result some dentists are really into prescribing procedures which may not really be needed. Don't be afraid to get a second opinion. silence_kit has a new favorite as of 15:45 on Jan 30, 2022 |
