Update: I read that air fryers can actually LOWER the vitamin content in some veggies

Yeah that "cut vitamin C by over 20%" line got me looking into it last month. I read a whole article about how high heat and longer cook times break down certain vitamins. So maybe the issue is we're just cooking the veggies too long in there trying to get them crispy. What if you just do a quick steam first, then finish in the air fryer for a minute? You'd still get some crunch without nuking all the good stuff.

The food court at Northgate Mall went from packed to a ghost town in under a year

Yeah but that insurance company moved like two years ago. The food court held on for a while after that. The real killer was when they shut down the movie theater in the west wing last fall. That was the last thing bringing families in.

A trick for chasing down a phantom voltage drop I learned from an old guy at a hangar in Phoenix

That's usually the best first step. Found a lot of issues where it connects to the frame, all crusty. Clean that spot up real good and it often fixes everything.

A client told me my blowouts were too tight and it clicked

That's a great question. Mine is just called Bob, which is pretty boring now that I think about it. Some people get really creative and give them full backstories. It would be fun to have a whole theme going with names.

Reading a 1920s trade journal and saw they used fish glue for leather bindings. Had no idea that was a thing.

Fish glue? That sounds absolutely foul.
