I have a countertop convection oven that’s replaced my air fryer and toaster oven. It’s a bit larger (you can in theory put a whole chicken in it) but is a vastly better use of the space.

I mean, I haven’t bought a Worldcon membership in over a decade now partially because I think the Hugos are likely permanently broken given the state of the industry and fanbase, but as bad as it was, the Chengdu idiocy was the exact opposite of a well thought out/organized campaign in terms of the voting itself, so…

The contract incentivizes the jail to increase video calls, in part by reducing payments from Securus “if the County fails to reach a minimum number of monthly paid video calls,” the lawsuit said.
