I took my travel guitar on my latest flight. Not as small as a Traveler-brand one, but I was able to put it behind 2 other roller-bag carry-ons that were rotated length-wise instead of depth-wise along with my partner’s CPAP. Still meant 4 bags in the overhead slot like normal. I just put my CPAP bag under the seat in front of me and didn’t bring a backpack, instead. Same net result.
But that’s with a travel guitar, specifically the Enya Nova GO SP1 which is much smaller than my mini-jumbo Washburn (EA15). I don’t know how on earth I’d fly with that short of making arrangements to put it in a special location besides the luggage compartment. I’d be too worried about it being damaged even in a hard case, especially from the atmospheric changes.

But it’s also quick and cheap to make absurdly-delicious roasted veg.
My favorite: take a bag of frozen broccoli florets, mist it with some oil (it’ll harden on them), sprinkle with some salt and pepper and toss in it at 400 degrees F for like, 15 minutes. Halfway through I pull the basket and drain the accumulated water in the bottom to increase browning.
Delicious, crispy, I can devour an entire pound of broccoli that way in like 5 minutes.

Most toaster ovens, even ones with strong convection for “air frying”, are not quite consistent enough in their heating. You have to pay far more than you would for an air fryer to get even heat coil distribution and a good door seal for that. The specific kind of rapid cooking that dessicates and browns the surface you get out of air fryer devices is just kind of hard to replicate outside of them.
If you ever look inside an air fryer you can kind of immediately see why – the heater-to-volume ratio is absurdly close. You have the equivalent of the biggest coiltop stove burner directly above a few quarts of air volume with a fan forcing air from it to circulate. It’s just kind of unfair of a comparison for both toaster ovens and even full-size ones that advertise an “air fryer” mode by comparison for that reason.

Same. I call them “cartridges” for lack of a better word but they last over a year each for me and still haven’t shown the “time to replace” indicator.

Me completely. Sorry, I don’t wanna play DBD or space rocks or the tenth “analog horror giggle backrooms” to come out in the past 5 years.
I just wanna “I’m not crying you’re crying” about owls in Ori.

The two matching sleeves (plus distortion from position) screams chop, not slop. Slop ain’t that kinda copy/paste job, and it’s too subtle of a joke.
Maybe slop chop plopped their faces on the original chop.

The real answer is “what’s the fucking context for how these numbers are being used?”
If it’s “just as written on a test” I think asking for clarification on order would be accepted.
If it’s an actual context of some kind then that alone dictactes the way you solve it.
Can’t quickly come up with a word problem for this one though.

But this takes it back away from understanding how LLMs work to attribute personality. The “decision” isn’t a decision in how beings decide things like that. The rolling of dice on numerous vectors resulted in those words, which were then re-included into the context for another trip through the vector matrix mines to new destination tokens to assemble.
It’s dice rolls where the dies selected are based on what started out, using a bunch of lookup tables. AI proponents like to be smug and say “well you won’t find those words in the model” like “yes a compressed vector map that ends up treating words like multiple tokens, referencing others in chains, gzipped to binary, can’t be searched for strings, you are literally correct in the stupidest, most irrelevant way possible.”

I hate random calls but I’m also usually very time efficient with answering things, so despite my own usual aversion to calls I find work is the only place I’ll ask if I can quick demo/show something to get input. Lasts a total of 3 minutes, keeps me on-topic to my work, and takes less time than waiting for their slow typing back while I’ll be distracted in typical ADHD fashion and start trying to discover if my laptop dock can make my hand cream melt.

Had what felt like the worst gas pain of my life. Started as indigestion feeling but slowly “resolved” down. And then resolved to the right.
Congratulations to me I had appendicitis and caught it before it burst whee.

I’m not even sure this is a real photo. There’s multiple eras of clothing on display. A prompt for “old timey clothes” could potentially include the 60s on up in the mess.
I hate that it’s so damn hard to tell sometimes what’s what. Is this real history? Is this staged for fun/selling? Or is it generated?

- Comment on my smart hot air fryer, every single time 10 months ago:
That’s kinda cool! Most don’t do that.
As far as differences Alec at Technology Connections has a solid video pointing it out better. It’s more about the ratios involved between fan, element size, and volume of area to cook within. The result is basically the ratio skewed absurdly in the favor of air friers over ovens, plus putting out less total heat. So stronger fan is part of the equation at least!

It’s an air fryer, it’s always on. Otherwise that’s just a toaster oven.
