The "10 games you can play in your head by yourself" book looked interesting enough to me that I've purchased it. I tend to daydream a lot anyway, so hopefully it'll provide some interesting focus for me.

Best item so far: Life-changing technology “discovered”: Air fryer — I just can’t go back to frying stuff in puddles of grease.

Air fryers seem to be all the rage these days, so I’m curious to hear from a no-BS crowd like HN: is there a meaningful difference between a small convection oven and an air fryer?

(disclaimer: I don’t have one, but America’s test kitchen/cooks illustrated tend to be pretty reliable with their advice I find…)

I thought there wasn't, so on a recommendation from wirecutter, we bought that cuisinart toaster oven that is also convection. It toasts up our tater tots nicely, faster than the instructions on the tater tot bag. But if air fryers are actually different I'd like to know.
