Hershel isn't the only human the Cakelings can encounter. Charoen here insists that they learn the ways of combat and survival, and to that end sets up an arena in Tartlet Town where they can spar!
Sketching another short comic concept, about a servant/handmaiden who delays her lady and lover's execution by an enemy king by agreeing to a terrible task: purifying a cursed sword within a year, whose immense power will then be turned against her homeland if she succeeds. Traditionally, all those who have sacrificed themselves to temporarily purify the sword's madness have been consumed by it and died horrifically; she is not expected to fare differently.
it'd be really cool if everyone put their money where their mouths are and went and saw the new fully 2d animated looney tunes movie that's in theaters RIGHT NOW instead of continuing to scream about the snow white and lilo and stitch remakes
recall issued may 1, 2025
if you have one of these, stop using the pressure cooking functions IMMEDIATELY. contact sharkninja for a free replacement lid.
Name of Product: SharkNinja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers Hazard: The pressure-cooking lid can be opened during use, causing hot contents to escape, posing a risk of burn injuries to consumers. Remedy: Repair Units: About 1,846,400 (In addition, about 184,240 were sold in Canada)
the problem is with the lid during pressure cooking. the vast majority of units were sold in the US.
This recall involves all Ninja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers. The cookers have functions that include pressure cooking and air frying. They were sold in black and have a 6.5-quart capacity. “Ninja” is printed on the front of each unit and on the product label. Model numbers OP300, OP301, OP301A, OP302, OP302BRN, OP302HCN, OP302HAQ, OP302HW, OP302HB, OP305, OP305CO and OP350CO are included in this recall and are printed on a label on the side of the cooker. An additional code following the model number is not part of that model designation. For example, a unit labeled “OP301 I07” is a model OP301 unit. Any OP300 series replacement pressure cooker lids purchased as an additional part are also included in this recall.
emphasis mine, to make the model numbers easier to read. all of these models and any previously purchased replacement lids are being recalled.
Consumers should immediately stop using the product’s pressure-cooking function and contact SharkNinja for a free replacement lid. Consumers can continue to use the product’s air frying and other functions. ... SharkNinja has received 106 reports of burn injuries, including more than 50 reports of second- or third-degree burns to the face or body, with 26 lawsuits filed.
TWENTY SIX FUCKING LAWSUITS FILED. TWENTY SIX LAWSUITS BEFORE THEY RECALLED THIS. these types of injuries can kill someone!
sharkninja is shipping out a free replacement lid to everyone who owns one of these. get on that quick, because shipping two million replacement lids seems like it might take some time.
Sold at: Walmart, Costco, Sam’s Club, Amazon and Target stores nationwide, and online at www.Ninjakitchen.com, www.walmart.com, www.costco.com, www.samsclub.com, www.amazon.com and www.target.com from January 2019 through March 2025 for about $200.
these were on sale for 6 years all over the country, online and in stores. I bet a lot of these were given as gifts.
if you know anyone who cooks a lot, or who might reasonably have one of these, reach out to them. with nearly 2 million units recalled, it will be a while before everyone with one of these can be reached.
the non-pressure cooking settings are apparently still safe (says the company that took 26 lawsuits to issue a recall), even before getting a replacement lid. check your relevant recall link for instructions on how to get a free replacement lid.
with this many serious injuries, I am shocked they are not yet reporting any deaths.
