Overheard a teen at the greenhouse say moss is just dirty algae

Kid probably thinks dirt comes from the store in bags too. I remember collecting moss samples as a kid and my mom saying it looked like I brought home a bag of green snot. Took me forever to explain what a sporophyte was without sounding like I made it up.

My buddy the chef talked me into preheating the air fryer and I owe him an apology

Yeah honestly I was in the same boat until I started messing around with frozen stuff. Tbh the biggest difference I noticed was with frozen breaded items like chicken tenders or mozz sticks. If you throw them in a cold basket the outside gets steamed before it crisps up and you end up with a sad soggy mess. Preheating for like 2-3 minutes at 400 makes the basket hot enough that the frozen coating sets right away. Same goes for fries too. I do fries at 375 for 15 minutes total but that first preheat is what gets them crunchy instead of limp. Ngl I still skip it sometimes for things like reheating pizza or roasted veggies because it doesn't matter as much. But for anything breaded or frozen it's a game changer for sure.

Tried that cheap paintless dent repair kit from Amazon on a door ding

Hot glue sticks work decent but @mason_ward you gotta watch the paint if you pull too hard. A proper PDR rod set is worth the money if you plan on doing this more than once.

Drop the schmoozing and just treat them like a real person, works every time.
