Reply to Commas are easily the least useful punctuation. by [deleted]

I would say the semi colon is less useful, as by nature it could always be replaced with a period. It's used to string two complete sentences together if the writer deems it necessary to connect them further than just having them together.

At least I think so. Been a hot minute since I was in a writing class

Ovens are great if you're cooking for a large family, they're less great when you're cooking for a few people, since it still uses the same amount of power either way. Having a small oven can be very useful instead.

I'd love it if they were renamed to tabletop convection ovens to accurately reflect that, but they remain useful either way

Oil fryers (deep fryers) get food way crispier because it transfers heat better than air. Essentially, you want to cook the food before it dries out. Air fryers work by convection, which is just blowing hot air over the food, which works better than just sitting in a hot oven.
