  • I’m not a religious, spiritual or otherwise superstitious person.
    I don’t even know how to say this without sounding crazy, even to myself.

    Soul friends are a thing.
    I don’t even know what exactly, and a soul doesn’t have to be some weird metaphysical spiritual soul or whatever, but like whatever makes our innermost selves… us?

    I don’t think I can fully explain it to someone who hasn’t lived through this, but it feels like this person has always been part of my “self”, so much that I don’t even always see her as separated from me.
    Not in a co-dependant way, it just is.
    It’s almost like having one brain in two bodies.
    A new feeling of wholeness that I can’t begin to describe, and honestly probably don’t need to, at least not to her, she gets it, I get it, whatever.
    It doesn’t even need to be romantic, though it could be.
    Certainly, none of it fits in a nicely labeled societal box.
    And yet, this person is far from perfect and doesn’t need to be. Around each other, our flaws don’t matter anymore, they don’t need to be hidden, we don’t need to play some role or worry about optics or whatever… it’s… her… we accept each other as we are, raw. It’s enough, we’re enough.
    We feel safe around each other, sharing stuff we’d never even approach with anyone else.
    Without always realizing it, we heal each other of our past, we understand each other and ourselves better just by having each other. We’re brutally honest, yet no judgmental and genuinely caring.

    And yet, despite all this, we honestly may not be a good fit as a couple.
    I mean there certainly could be worse matches, but we’re best friends first and foremost, although the friends label really doesn’t do justice.

    I realized I don’t know why I’m saying all this.
    I guess I get excited whenever I see people connecting to each other.
    Cherish it for what it is, raw human connection, it’s fine even if you don’t what “it” is.
    Peace















  • lol fuck that noise, literally.
    Unsolder the piezo.

    Pro tip: Since it obviously has wifi or something, it has an FCC id printed somewhere (probably next to the model/serial number).
    Search the fccid.io website for that number and there’ll be photos of its insides which can help you figure out how to open it, know where the piezo is likely to be, and neuter that loud fucker.
    I’ve done a kettle that would beep 80ish dBA everytime it started, it was done, or when you put it back in the base.

    Alnyway, an air fryer is big enough that it’s probably not as complicated to disassemble as smaller tighter devices.
    Specifically about this, the fccid might be only the wireless module inside and not the whole thing, so maybe not as helpful.

    Obviously, unplug it from mains before opening. Insert all applicable disclaimers about not burning down your house or maiming yourself.
