Seems like some kind of oily fog/spray could obscure things until someone took the time to physically clear it. More temporary, but perhaps easier to accomplish?

I am a man of culture and taste. It was shaved parm. So good, but yah the whirlwind catches it easily.

I don’t know. Like you, I only use grill or pan for burgers. My event was with extra Parmesan on a french bread pizza. Fan knocked it right off the top.

Just had something similar happen. Here is my “fix”: Cook your burger as you would. Pull it at the desired time for cheese. Place cheese on burger, give a slight press so that it engages fully. Close the drawer of air fryer and LEAVE IT OFF for at least thirty seconds so the cheese has a chance to bond. Then restart air fryer to complete the process. Hopefully this solves the problem for the next cheeseburger should you ever emotionally recover.

Yah, I am sure there is a ton of unencrypted data of some form flowing, but anything end-to-end encrypted would be unreadable.
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 5 days ago:
Something like a dozen years ago I visited my father and sat 20+ feet away from his 27" television struggling to make things out. It was comically small for the room. I asked if he was interested in buying a newer and larger one. He agreed and we made the change to a 43". A modest increase and it helped quite a bit, though an even larger model would’ve been my choice. This satisfactorily infuriated his wife who then had to learn a new remote. Change is hard for some.

Cachy is the most popular distro on distrowatch. Has been for a month or more. That’s a good place to get the list of current distros.

- Comment on it's true! 3 weeks ago:
You know it’s odd. We have no streams or ponds. I make certain we have no standing water around us by ensuring unused pots and other items are upturned, but we always have mosquitoes around. It’s forest around us which is very nice, but the mozzies get very thick. I am sure I miss some water, but not enough for the numbers I see. Don’t know how far they’ll travel, but there’s gotta be some junk somewhere on the neighbor’s property in the forest holding water.

I love natural growth and we have plenty around (PNW), but that invasive Himalayan Blackberry is constantly creeping back out of the wild edges. We’ve done well enough pushing it back, but it is so pervasive and the animals help spread the seeds. That and the other noxious weeds (Scotch-broom, thistle, tansy, etc) have us quite busy doing our best to remove and keep out. It’s like spitting into the wind if the other land-owners around don’t do it as well. Oh well.
We also planted tons of native “deer-resistant” plants. They love it. I call it deer salad.
- Comment on This is Larry. 3 weeks ago:
OMG. We also have an orange cat named Larry. He’s young so he’s a precocious scamp. We should probably do a video call for these guys since they have so much in common. He shits too.
- Comment on How to Get Hardware Transcoding BACK on Your Synology NAS 4 weeks ago:
Off the shelf nas? Build your own. I use Xpenology. It turns my hardware into a synology nas. I did buy a Unas case, so it is a nas style, but anything that holds disks will work. Yes a little tinkering still but not much. Bootable usb stick is easy enough. I’ve also used Freenas/truenas. I like them well enough, but I had gotten used to synology. Just don’t want to buy their hardware. I run two. Works just fine.
- Comment on Get ready to see ads on your… Samsung refrigerator 1 month ago:
I recall the hype was to keep track of groceries or some such gimmick. I feel it to be unnecessary tech. How convenient that it shows ads. In any case, do not buy a Samsung appliance. They are total shite and will break down on you. Fridges, washing machines, dishwashers. All garbage. The televisions are fine.

I would not be able to help myself at some point by dropping snide retorts to any of their comments. Fair is fair and fuck them. No scenes, just brief kicks to the shins. Figurativly speaking of course.

- Comment on Monkeys on the Interstate 2 months ago:
Reminds me of a joke (that is better spoken, but I’ll try anyways):
A state trooper arrives at the scene of a horrible accident on the interstate in the middle of the night. Nobody is around, but the carnage is everywhere both mechanical and biological. Without any witnesses, the trooper is mystified as to what exactly happened. As he’s inspecting the accident he sees a rustle in a nearby shrub. He steps closer to discover a monkey shivering and scared. He speaks to the monkey in a calm voice and coaxes it out to him. The trooper feels like the monkey understands his words, so he asks the monkey if he saw what happened. The monkey nods vigorously that he does.
“What were the passengers doing?” asks the trooper. The monkey mimes drinking and smoking motions. “They were drinking and smoking?” and the monkey nods with certainty that they were. “Anything else?” and the monkey makes hugging and kissing motions. “They were fooling around and having sex?” and the monkey again nods to affirm his question.
The trooper, wondering what the monkey had to do with all of this asks, “Monkey, what were you doing while all this happened?” and the monkey makes driving motions with his arms while craning his neck backwards to watch.
