You can do DIY potato fries if you couple the air fryer with sous vide. You need to get the starch out of the potatoes. People will suggest you soak them in water, but that only gets you so far.
Put the raw fries in a ziplock with enough water for them to float around. Put this bag into your water and set it to 170F and let them soak for 20-30 mins. Then dry them out (start in salad spinner and spread out on a towel), coat in oil/salt, and air fry at 400 until done.
The 170F water breaks down the pectin that holds the sugars in the potatoes, so if you don’t sous vide, you end up with caramelization/burned fries. This is actually what McDonald’s does to their fries.
A sous vide wand can be had for around $50, and you just need a big enough pot to hold whatever you’re cooking. They also do wonders for dark meat. Sous vide chicken wings are ridiculously good.
Yeah, they have a big screen that maps a 3D Angry Birds piggie tower over the fairway, and the birds follow the path of your ball. It really is an impressive 1:1 mapping.
I hate golf for reasons above, but I recently tried Top Golf, and if there is any sustainable future for the sport, that’s it.
A single fairway can serve ~100 tees with probably 500 people playing. And some of the games are super accessible to people of lower skill levels. We played a round of Angry Birds at a work party where the virtual targets were only maybe 25-30 yards away. Super fun.
Heh, my thought too, but it wasn’t like an extra pinky. He had two thumbs stacked on top of each other. I don’t know where they joined, but I could see the pad of one thumb on top of the nail of the other.
My mom’s friend was nearly pickpocketed in front of the Trevi Fountain by a man with two thumbs on his right hand. My mom caught him with his hand in her purse and made a big scene. He ran away.
I was 11 years old and had my camera out and ready and it kills me that I didn’t get a photo of his hand.
and nobody knows how to code anything and read datasheets anymore.
You seem a bit bitter which I can relate to. As someone who cut his teeth writing assembly for an 8051, I remember feeling a bit cheesed by people using arduinos to do what could be done with a 555.
My career has gotten comfy, but I can feel my skills stagnating with all this new stuff coming out. I of course would never ship a product with a Raspberry Pi embedded in it, but I’d like to have a feel for how to solve problems using newer more advanced hardware. With that in mind, do you have any recommendations?
