Some modern convection ovens have a sperate heating element in front of the fan in the back or fan(s) behind the heating elements in general, which means it works the same as an air fryer.
Yeah the whole “I love unions, but we at this company are a family so we don’t need that”, is peak anti-union talk. Throughout history it’s been used by people who are horrible to their employees.
Long story short, he was always a slimy asshole, but here are some key points from wikipedia and just in regards to his mayoral position:
Hated the homeless and tried to have them “removed”(used cops to arrest them and shove them in overcrowded shetlers. A church ended up suing the city for their right to help homeless people)
“cracked down on crime”, by basically aggressively arresting people for minor crimes like jumping the turnstile.
Tried to stop multiple community service proogram for the mentally ill, elderly, day-care, etc.
Big fan of “eminent domain” to take buildings and give them to his sponsors.
Racist with multiple racist pollcies, many staffers and leaders left because of him.
He threaten funding for the Brooklyn Musem if they didn’t remove several pieces, specifically including one called “The Holy Virgin Mary” which was of a black person. Calling it a governement-supported attack on christianity and they had to sue the city.
Campaigned on fixing public schools, but cut $2bill of their budget and $4.7bill from the repairs budget
Two days after Columbine he said he wanted to “blow up” the Board of Education.
Wanted to imprison the teachers union president if they went into strike(their contract was up and the city hadn’t started any renegotiation)
Allegedly cheated on his wife with his spokeswoman
Tried to threaten Time Warner to have Fox on their cable network, and defended Murdoch when all the surveillance and bribery scandals came about
His administration lost 22 out of 26 civil liberty lawsuits against them, mostly for trying to stifle first amandment rights.
He wanted a deal with Virginia in which they had to take NYCs trash, in exchange for them being able to visit NYCs culture sites. He also tried to send it to New Jersey, and announced that wihtout actually talking to them first, at all. This all happened because he closed a landfill 20-30 years too early , because he didn’t like how it looked, so it had to be shipped out of town. Costing millions, causing even more pollution, etc.
I’m really glad I live in a place where this driver would get a big fine the first time they’re stopped, and most likely get their vehicle impounded if they were seen more than a few days later with the lights still attached.
(EDIT: Anyone complaining that they need this many are lying or they have very low intelligence. If you need this llevel of light, you have a generator and actual lights in the back of the truck. If you need one or two of the huge ones for actual work, you’d have covers for them, which makes it legal again(since you’d have to stop the car and get out to turn them on, and can’t just flick them on while driving since that is a deadly hazard to others))
Ukraine’s national anti-corruption agency added Bacardi Limited to its list of international war sponsors, citing the company’s continued business and tax payments in Russia.
To be fair, it’s at least Rasberry PI microprocessor on a custom PCB inside the keycap, and not an off the shelf operational Rasberry PI with a fancy keyboard.
They’re basically the PETA of climate change. Where they often harm their own cause because they operate by the creed that more people would be on their side “if they only knew”, so most of what they do is designed mainly to get attention from the public.
A great example being the video of a medical professional yelling a bunch of them. Because they glued themselves to the main road ambulances used to get to the ER.
They don’t face any consequences, so why would they stop increasing it? They don’t care about people, they just care aboout themselves and their money. So as long as nothing happens, they’ll keep going.
While the conditions are terrible and it’s obviously a made up charge, her governement is pretty much China.
She was born in China and lived in Australia from she was 10 until she was 20-21 and then she moved to China, where she has lived for the last 27 years. So ~37 of her 47 years was spent in China, and over a decade of that was spent working for a governement owned propaganda outlet.
She is technically an Australian citizen, which she became in 2003, after she had already moved to China.
Stupid article aside, a large filling breakfast being good for you and the whole “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” is a complete and utter lie invented for advertisement.
The point wasn’t to skip breakfast, it was that a big one isn’t necessary. Have a piece of toast, have a giant breakfast or none at all. It’s usually fine to follow your bodies need if you’re hungry or thirsty. It’s just that some people think it’s important to have a big breakfast, which is a untrue. A small refreshing or nurishing one is much better in many cases.
It’s a custom protocol that uses SSL/TLS for key exchange and such, so it can be detected. It’s actually causing huge problems for many large Russian companies, as it’s common to use those protocols for remote access, work, etc.
As mentioned in the article you need something like “Shadowsocks” to avoid protocl blocking, since it fully disguises the traffic as standard SSL/TLS. Which was created for, and is still used to circumvent this type of blocking in “the great firewall of china”.

The bible has a bunch of different references to oil, as it was used a lamp fuel(and some rituals).
This one refers to Revelation 6:6
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
From KJ or this one from the NIV
Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”
Referring to how the price of food would go up, but oil and alcohol would not.
