  1. I borrowed a friend's air fryer last week. I let it sit for a week and then cleaned it good, just in case of conoravirus. I was pleasantly surprised with how it cooked shake and bake chicken tenders. They had a nice crispyness. I reheated some pork chops in it yesterday and it turned out good. But the home cut potato fries didn't turn out crispy, but super fluffy inside. I think I used too much oil. I'm still experimenting with this air fryer but so far I'm liking it. I think I might have to buy one.

      I'll go ahead and put this out there before it gets to that point... sweet potatoes are great. Sweet potato fries and/or tots are a crime against humanity. :nono:

      I guess I've always been content with the ole nuclear baked potato in the microwave. The consistency matters not since I have a little bit of potato with my sour cream, salt, and butter. XD Not really a big fan of baked potatoes to begin with so I guess that's why I eat them like that. Texas Roadhouse makes an divine sweet potato tho.. its pretty much just dessert with marshmallows, brown sugar, and a little caramel drizzle for decoration.

      Store bought fries work really well. Especially shoe string/fast food style. I don't even use oil for them and they crisp up just as good. Thats all I use air fryers for though. That and Tots/Onion rings. I figure without any oil is much healthier and somehow tastes just as good.

  3. Welp second round of layoffs today at work (oh we weren't going to have anymore my ass) and I got myself a permanent vacation from work again. At least this time it's not an outright firing and I did get paid for the whole day plus I'm getting paid for the entirety of next week as well. Also get to retain my health insurance to the end of the month (which means my ass needs to get down to the pharmacy and get my HBP meds refilled before I lose it).

    Fucking sucks after putting all that time into that fucking company and learning shit I never wanted to learn in hopes it'd help keep my job. Fat lot of good that did. They also had the audacity to say I'm able to be re-hired once market conditions favor them hiring more people. When will that be? Fuck knows but I have no intention of going back unless they're willing to hire me back at more or equal to what I was getting paid (though, in all honesty, not fucking worth it).

    Now I get to experience the joy of finding a new job again in a market overflowing with job seekers and nobody's really hiring in my area right now due to this epidemic. Not only that I need to find a job that pays roughly what I was getting which is going to be hard around here as well. Looking like I'll have to go back to retail which will be a massive hit in pay for me.

    I also get to experience filing for unemployment for the first time in my life. So looking forward to that.

    Sigh, on the bright side I have plenty of time to watch anime and play games until I find a new job. Guess that's a silver lining.

  4. Hasbro put up 15 episodes of GI Joe on their YT channel for the quarantine. I was a bit hesitant to watch it again after 3 decades or so. After all I remember trying to watch HE-MAN on Netflix and it was fucking horrible. XD But, Surprisingly its held up pretty well over all these years. Yeah its still super cheese, but I was surprised to see how many eps were linked together in a larger story arc. Pretty ahead of its time for American animation. The best thing I've seen so far is Snake Eyes getting trapped in a radioactive cave, wonder around in the freezing arctic with his body glowing radiation, and get rescued by some blind nomad which magically cured his radioactive poisoning with no explanation. XD

  5. They done went and did it like I was predicting,

    Finally. I've been wanting to play this since I beat Automata and now we'll get to play a remaster. Was kinda hoping they'd remaster both games but I'm quite happy with one of them (as the story beats are only slightly different between Gestalt and Replicant). Now if only they'd give us a release date (better not be in September, that's Cyberpunk time x.x).

    Not entirely sure what this will be about but we're also getting a smartphone game. Still haven't announced if it's getting a release over here or not but still cool to see we're getting more Nier titles to continue the fantastic lore of this universe.

XD Probably just a precaution and overraction since I was having a lot of constant loading and network errors on Azur Lane this morning. I suspect people will be hitting their mobile gaming more.

      On a minor note I actually just started doing PvP a few days ago. Partially because I don't have South Dakota or Eldridge, and mostly becasue getting the Z23 skin required me to participate. The main reason I wasn't doing it was because stupid me thought it was an actual manual controlled live combat. XD  Now that I see its basically just a simulation, I run my 10 a day, which will subvert my struggle for SR Bulins.

      I say that to say, fuck everyone with Retrofit Warspite. I need to see when and what event is coming up to get that item to finish her. I try to avoid anyone with that shit in their defense fleet. She just takes a massive dump all over my back line which mine is totally not suited for PvP. Ayanami/Belfast/Tashkent are a monster combo for vanguard but my backline is totally meant for just PvE... Even though they do a ton of damage they take too long to do it. There are a few carriers that are limited event that are just insane with the AOE damage I've gone up against as well. I really should start working on Akagi and Kaga again to get that starting burst. Trying to get maximum merits, I'm half way to one of those ships. My luck South Dakota will disappear out of the shop again when I have enough and I'll have to wait how ever many days/weeks until she comes back around again like when SR Bulin is in the exchange shop. ugh.

      Its also crazy to me how there are people only at level 55 with 6 level 120 ships... wtf? I don't have a single one, and I've used Enty since day one getting MVP 80% of the time.

      Maybe. I never talk in chat either, but its pretty active on my server, almost to Gold Seller spam in a F2P MMO level bad but with emotes and builds instead of phishing links. XD

      Siege is my Waifu (avatar obviously XD) I'm waiting for her skin to come around, because I'm definitely buying it. Silence is also always in my squad, her S1 drone is the most clutch ability in the game. Its saved my fuck ups so many times. She'll probably be the next I S2... its either her or Lapland next. I actually whaled that banner just to try to get dupes for up her potential but no such luck since the Chen banner was way to generous to me. I've had absurdly high luck with Yostar, until recently.

      This mini event in AL is way to grindy since all my geared ships are 102 or higher, so I get very little exp for the oil I'm spending on my 1 run a day of each map. I don't think I'll be able to get the limited ship unless she drops in my 3 builds a day I'm doing for the daily. I finally got my second sub from building tho, Dace... ugh why is sub gear such an ass to get? You can't even craft a purple sub gear box from the ones you get from SOS. It is a super fun game. I love L2D skins. I spend money on Arknights for headhunting, but I drop cash on this game for skins. XD I got skins for ships I don't even have yet like Taihou and Monarch. I need to unlock my last secretary slot to have more randomization on my launch page.

      Ugh I've yet to get a top operator tag. But I can't complain too much since I have every operator except Ifrit, Manticore, and Indra. I S2'ed Eyjafjalla and have her and my S1 Lapland up in support for you. Although I didn't realize until a few days ago that you don't unlock auto deploy if you use support units even if you 3 star a map. Catch-22 since using a support unit is a daily challenge. Saria is so fucking good. She heals like a champ as a damn defender. No matter how much I change my squad around I ALWAYS have her in there. I've whaled more than I'd like to admit on this game, but I'm saving up all my head hunting until the next new content drop. I've yet to buy any skins, but there are some spicy ones coming up I must have.

      But yeah I get what you're saying. Arknights is def not a sit back and relax type ordeal. It can get pretty intense and frustrating. XD Honestly most days I just auto the resource tab or chips. Especially lately. I actually did a new map for the first time today in like 2 weeks. I enjoy grinding out the LMD or EXP resources to slowly level up and eventually S2 my favorite units, and manage my base twice a day to flip fresh units out of the dorm into roles. I'm in no rush to complete the main story anyways since I'm half way through the last of what's available.

      Oddly enough when I checked reddit your server was the only one that wasn't down that night for AL. XD My playing habits are your fault dammit. XD You got me into this game, and now I can't stop. j/k j/k the Anime is just as much to blame. Since I'm a noob to every event, I get too hyped and grind out hard to get everything. I'm saving my cubes hard for whatever comes next... Like every weekly maintenance I intensely stare at my screen as it downloads the update wondering what wonders await me when its done. XDXDXD

      I'm on Avrora. Like I said, its probably just and overreaction after reading all the hype about high internet usage over the next few weeks. I've never had network issues with AL outside of maintenance, except one time at midnight leading into Valentines day, I was just trying to check my commissions and apparently the servers were crashing because everyone was trying to get their valentines message from their shipfu. XD So I'd just suspect if it can go down because of that, it can get dicey with people bored in quarantine... but it wouldn't be limited to that. I just have to grind out that sweet 2 million XP to unlock Monarch and I'll have my ultimate exercise fleet and boss fleet. I'll get testy if I can't get my daily sessions in. Plus the next event for Arknights should be dropping soon.

At walmart, the aisle with toilet paper was blocked off with an employee at both ends allowing only 2 customers at a time in it because yesterday there was a fight over toilet paper. Wtf. The smaller grocery store in the same shopping plaza was busy as hell to but didn't have aisles blocked off. Flipping crazy.

      Eating out is something I do a lot of. Mostly casual dining. All of them have posted or emailed me about how they've swapped from individual plasticware to packaged plasticware behind the counter. No more bottles of hot sauce, or salt and pepper. All of it has to be requested. Which I feel will show them how often these things aren't used in their resturant and they'll probably keep it that way to save money on salt and pepper. Everyone is doing curbside takeout now.

      This is 100% on the media. There are too many dumbasses out there that just read headlines. Honestly the government needs to pass a law banning clickbait entirely. It should be classified as yelling fire or bomb in a crowded building. Like every fucking thing is clickbait now. "This developer adds key feature to game" "A big character died in this series" blah blah. Today an article is going around how a 21 year old soccer player died from Coronavirus. Just reading the headline you'd think you could be athletic and young and die from the coronavirus. If you actually click the link you'd see he had Leukemia and then caught coronavirus. But idiots won't click the link, and just go out word of mouth to people they know and say "a 21 athlete died from coronavirus, it can kill anyone!"

      The whole thing is stupid seeing as 12,000 Americans died during the H1N1 outbreak but there was no such panic, and the media kind of just reported on it like it was only affecting Asia. The internet was a different place back then. Coronavirus has like 40 deaths in the US, all old people or people with immune disorders. Basically its only dangerous to those same people that can die from the flu. There are probably people just walking around thinking they have a cold or bad allergies going unreported. Today we had people shopping with latex gloves and masks on. 🙄

  23. Its no secret I have an extremely poor diet consisting of mostly red meat and dairy products. XD But I have definitely cut back on sugar intake over the past couple of years. I'll still eat candy and sweets now and then, but I drink soda maybe a few times a year when something interesting comes out. (Like Dr. Pepper Cream Soda 🤤). I'll drink a glass or two of sweet tea when I go out to eat, and on holidays. But outside of that its coffee and water daily. I haven't put sugar in my coffee in probably 15 years. A few months ago I got into sparkling water because I miss soda, but at the same time I don't... I really don't enjoy it as much as I use too, but water gets awful boring sometimes. La Croix is fucking nasty, I already knew that well before this. But with the sudden explosion of new rivals I took a tour of whats available. Pepsi's Bubly is ok, The apple is probably my favorite out of all of them. Coke had Desani sparking water which was actually pretty good. The lime almost tasted like sprite... but they discontinued all of it for this new AHA shit with weird ass flavors. I tried Blueberry Pomegranate because it was the most normal one, and it seriously went flat before it even got room temp. I sat it down for a few minutes and when I took another sip all the carbonation was gone, wtf? San Pellegrino makes decent ones as well. But the best IMO is Perrier. I'd say Strawberry is the best, followed by Watermelon and Peach. It has a caveat though. There is something magical about the can. XD You have to drink it out of the can ice cold, and the flavor is good along with the different style carbonation (apparently it's natural). Once you pour it into a glass or get one of those plastic bottle versions, its not the same. It tastes flat and flavorless. Its very odd.

    But anyways. I don't enjoy sweet drinks anymore at all outside of tea. Maybe its a mental thing because it bothers my acid reflux, but it all started with the alcohol I drank, I moved away from rum or anything mixed as I stopped liking sweet liquor. Then it just kinda carried over to my daily beverages. I treat the rare soda as a dessert now. I can't stomach more than 1 in a day. I have no idea how I use to throw back 3-4 a day when I was a teenager. XD:barf2:

      I use to like those squirt drinks, but I have reservations against splenda which is what those are normally sweetened with. Mio and Crystal Light are the big sellers around here. The Kool-Aid ones do pretty well too. Which is basically what it tastes like to me. Kool-Aid. Not that I dislike Kool-Aid but I don't want to drink it all the time. XD Plus those Mio's have to be disposed of as hazardous waste in store when the are broken, and there is no explanation why. The only other edible/non chemical items that are disposed of like this are aerosol cans like cooking spray, and medicine. XD wtf... strike 2 and 3 right there.

      As for coffee I mostly drink Peet's Major Dickason's blend and Gevalia Majestic Roast. Since Its just me, I use k-cups for the convenience of a single cup at a time rather than tossing out half a pot of coffee. I generally order from amazon since you can get 75-100 packs for $30-40, rather than paying $10-12 for a 12 pack in store. I actually just subbed to Black Rifle Coffee Company yesterday. I got a sampler pack last year for Christmas but i didn't really care for any of them since they were all medium roast at as such tasted super weak. But now they have Freedom Fuel Dark Roast so I'll give it a shot. They're a veteran company and support a good cause by sending out free coffee to our servicemen and servicewomen overseas. After listening more about them over a Joe Rogan ep, I wanted to join their coffee club. They have an extra dark roast called Murdered Out, but they don't do k-cups yet. I'll probably swap to that if it ever happens. XD

I sat it down for a few minutes and when I took another sip all the carbonation was gone, wtf? San Pellegrino makes decent ones as well. But the best IMO is Perrier. I'd say Strawberry is the best, followed by Watermelon and Peach. It has a caveat though. There is something magical about the can. XD You have to drink it out of the can ice cold, and the flavor is good along with the different style carbonation (apparently it's natural). Once you pour it into a glass or get one of those plastic bottle versions, its not the same. It tastes flat and flavorless. Its very odd.

    But anyways. I don't enjoy sweet drinks anymore at all outside of tea. Maybe its a mental thing because it bothers my acid reflux, but it all started with the alcohol I drank, I moved away from rum or anything mixed as I stopped liking sweet liquor. Then it just kinda carried over to my daily beverages. I treat the rare soda as a dessert now. I can't stomach more than 1 in a day. I have no idea how I use to throw back 3-4 a day when I was a teenager. XD:barf2:

      You might as well pour that into hot chocolate when you disgrace the taste of coffee with these vile flavors. XD coffeemate is just chilled flavored glue. When that strong bold coffee flavor hits me, it wakes me up more than the caffeine probably. Mmmmm boiled dirt. XD

      The only time I like sweetened coffee is if its iced or one of those canned coffee drinks for a caffeine boost. STOK made a really good one with protein in it, but they discontinued it I think. -_-;

  25. Its no secret I have an extremely poor diet consisting of mostly red meat and dairy products. XD But I have definitely cut back on sugar intake over the past couple of years. I'll still eat candy and sweets now and then, but I drink soda maybe a few times a year when something interesting comes out. (Like Dr. Pepper Cream Soda 🤤). I'll drink a glass or two of sweet tea when I go out to eat, and on holidays. But outside of that its coffee and water daily. I haven't put sugar in my coffee in probably 15 years. A few months ago I got into sparkling water because I miss soda, but at the same time I don't... I really don't enjoy it as much as I use too, but water gets awful boring sometimes. La Croix is fucking nasty, I already knew that well before this. But with the sudden explosion of new rivals I took a tour of whats available. Pepsi's Bubly is ok, The apple is probably my favorite out of all of them. Coke had Desani sparking water which was actually pretty good.

      ROTFLMAO. I love coffee. And even worse in your eyes I only drink bold dark roast. Which is the most brutally bitter of all of them. XD mostly because I enjoy the flavor, but also again with acid reflux, its the least acidic. I pour a little half and half in it and thats it. All that flavored cream and syrup is blasphemy. 

      I never could do energy drinks. I did like the flavored red bulls, but they're so bad for you I stopped as fast as I started. Monster and Rockstar are nasty af to me. The after taste of cough syrup is just too much. Bang is pretty good, but it makes me sweat with very little activity. Its just way too much caffeine at once. Its more than half the daily recommended intake.
