Toes, in What is your earliest memory?

Pressing my face against a glass door and feeling how cold it was and seeing the outside world.

yesman, in What are your best air fryer/oven recipes?

My best tip for air fryers is to use them for the second fry of foods that are double fried. Egg Rolls, Karage, Orange chicken, etc, honestly, The double fry method isn’t just for Asian food, it takes anything where crispiness is desirable to the next level.

Do the first low fry as normal, then use the air fryer for the second high-temp fry. You don’t have to worry about overcrowding as much, plus everything will be less greasy. The whole point of the second fry is to remove moisture and the air does this just as well as the grease.

I don’t use an adblocker when I browse in ios because I don’t know how to

Fondots, in What is your earliest memory?

My earliest really solid memory was getting our first dog when I was about 3-4 years old. I remember odd bits and pieces from before then, but that’s probably the earliest thing I can conjur up in any significant detail. Things before that are just kind of brief flashes and glimpses with no real context, glimpses of preschool, Christmas, playing with different toys, etc. but I remember the days leading up to bringing her home very well, my mom finding a classified ad in the newspaper, she was advertised as a chocolate lab (she was white and gold, and maybe there was lab in her mix somewhere but that wouldn’t have been my first guess, didn’t matter once we met her, she meshed right into our family like she’d always been part of it)

Interestingly it’s also my sister’s earliest memory, she would have been about 2, so definitely a very important moment in both of our lives.

CaptPretentious, in What's a food you love, that isn't worth making from scratch?

Lefsa.

Making it solo is a monstrous pain in the butt. It’s so easy to screw up too.

Eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich by a window when I was 2 years old. I have a few memories from when I was two.

Theharpyeagle, in What are your best air fryer/oven recipes?

Be sure to preheat it before use! You can prep while it’s preheating and it really cuts down on cook time.

One of my favorites is sweet potatoes and kielbasa. Cut up the sweet potato into 1/2 inch chunks, toss with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper (I also like thyme and a little rosemary, but that’s up to you). Toss em in for 14 minutes at 400 or so, until they’re fork tender and the sugar has started to caramelize on the outside.

While that’s going on, slice the kielbasa into ~3 inch sections and slice each section in half length-wise. Fry in a bit of olive/vegetable oil until warmed through and crispy on the cut side. Combine and serve.

Might find it’s not to your taste, but I find the sweet and salty combo to be a real winner.

No idea at what age it was, but I remember refusing to get into a car my dad just bought because the new car could not “fly” like the old one. Quite the fantasy.

JudahBenHur, in What hobby do you have that no one else in your family shares?

partial_accumen, in Why do Lemmy users delete their comments?

You’ve never said something then thought better of it seconds after posting? Or perhaps you posted something as factual, but moments later figured out it wasn’t?

Its one thing if your comment has been sitting for hours or days and is part of the conversation, I won’t delete those even when I’m wrong. I’ll just do an edit and change to strikethrough. However, if its literally seconds and you realize your post is just unnecessarily inflammatory, or reading further comments leads you to sources that you find you are wrong under a minute from posting? Yes, I’ll delete those. No reason to waste other people’s time when what I ended up added is a net negative to the conversation and I know it. I can’t say I delete often, but very occasionally.

11 Grams of gunpowder

Tagger,

You did the maths?

Corkyskog, (edited )
@Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works avatar

I did the minimum math… I didn’t really feel like figuring out the exact density of an air tag. It is definitely more than 11 grams by volume of gunpowder, but how much I cannot say.

I am lazy… and Googling Airtag volume just displays results about the actual loudness of an airtag alert.

There is also the question of whether you would just compress the gunpowder into a puck, or store it inside an airtag shaped container. If the latter you might even lose a gram of gunpowder.

Moobythegoldensock, in Who doesn't use an adblocker and why?

Nearly everyone uses at least some level of adblocking. Pretty much every major browser blocks pop-up ads by default, so the people who are too lazy or computer illiterate to do anything other than the default are still going to have some ad blocking.

Internet Explorer 6 added this feature in 2001, so even your grandpa still stubbornly running his end of life Windows XP probably has a popup blocker.

Subverb, in What's a food you love, that isn't worth making from scratch?

I got a non-stick crepe pan as a wedding gift. Makes it a lot easier.
