No advice for you, I’ve only flown twice. :/ but they really should have, like, a lock box in the cabin that flight attendants can put all personal items in. That way of you’re just traveling with a carry on, you don’t have to choose between bringing an entire bag to check, or just foregoing some small item. Then, no danger, and you don’t have to check a bag. Just give whatever small item it is to flight crew, they keep it in the cabin until you’re disembarking.
Decided to make fried chicken. We rarely ever eat fried foods, and so I don’t have fancy things like deep fryers. What I had was a large cast aluminum pot.
Filled it about half way with oil, made amazing delicious fried chicken.
I also don’t have a stop top. Use a single eye burner. Needed the burner for something else, so sat the pot on the counter next to the sink.
Moved wrong, knocked the pot into the sink. Boiling oil goes down the drain.
Know what’s at the bottom of the drain? A trap full of water.
Water met boiling oil as I matrix dodged our of the way and a geysey worthy of yellow stone came flying out of the sink, both sides, shooting boiling oil and steam everywhere. Covering the ceiling, the walls, the floor. Even the dog got hit (thank God for long, thick fur!). I had splatter burns on my legs, which was the only part of me not under the counter when it landed. It came up with so much force it threw the pot out of the sink.
Can’t even blame em. Started out in lemmy.world and switched to startrek.website the first time .world went out and someone explained to me how that works with being overloaded. Haven’t looked back sense. The local timeline is awesome, the federation is awesome. It really showcases the benefit of a federated service. It made Lemmy such a great replacement for me, whereas before I was struggling to get into lemmy.
