He does, just not in the I guess fan art one I grabbed for this.

But if the wipers rotate 360 degrees instead of 180 back and forth, does that make them tassels?

Is Optimus Prime the original "boob windows" ?

As much as I strongly (very strongly) dislike AI-generated anything, I can at least acknowledge that there can be ethical uses of it assuming you hold your nose and ignore the very likely unethical means by which the model(s) were trained.

That said, what you described would definitely not be ethical IMO. I see where you're coming from, I do, but I've never been one to fight disinformation/lies with more disinformation/lies. Beyond the slippery slope, it's still operating in bad faith and not something I could ever consider ethical let alone welcome.

Yeah. I read a bit more since I commented, and Alton Brown doesn't just approve - he actually helped design it.

The cost of those is definitely why I still have a mono-vection oven haha.

I'm not a fan of single-purpose appliances (microwave notwithstanding), and I recently got a toaster oven / air fryer / grill (so no microwave) and I love it. Haven't used my full size oven in the 3 months I've had this one.

The "Trivection Oven" (as seen on 30 Rock) is a real appliance, and includes microwave heating as one of the 'vections. I believe the microwave heating is just to speed up cooking with the thermal and convection heat for crisping.

Are they a gimmick? Honestly, no clue. I've not used one, but the logic checks out and Alton Brown approves.

To be fair, #32 is just me.

Because if we don't build and profit from the Torment Nexus, someone else will

It's very likely I'm mis-remembering the BTS stuff, but I always thought the whole reason they wrote her out in S4 was to feature her in ST: Academy. I'm assuming now that was either never correct or something majorly changed.

Bryan Cranston kind-of? He had some minor movie roles before television and then larger movie roles after.

Will Ferrell, technically. Plus most of the other SNL actors who started there and did films later (though many of those were based on SNL skits). Tina Fey, though, plays it straight. She started as a writer, joined the cast of SNL, and did TV and movies later. Granted, I wouldn't call any of them "movie stars".

"Poor"

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that!
