    Congrats @DMW. Thanks for sharing, job transitions are so stressful, whether or not you know it your story helps those of us who are facing our own career crisis. Very glad you are headed where you want to be.

    The timer in my toaster oven broke this morning.  The good news: the batteries in my smoke detector are still good.   ;) 
    So, I'm on the market for a new toaster oven; any suggestions?  It WILL have an electronic timer, not a cheep spring-powered job as on my dead one.

    @Botch Dualit are not a cheap option, but they last for ever and you can buy all of the spare parts as well.  It's not electronic, but it is a quality item.  We got fed up of replacing broken toasters, got one of these classic toasters in the 4 slice version and over 15 years leter it still works EXACTLY as it did on day 1.  This has toasted for a family with 5 kids, so heavy use every day, never needed repairing.

    We have a Breville. Not cheap either, works great. Use it more than our actual oven

    I imagine a lot of cars are invisible to people driving full size pick up trucks. The bonnet line seems higher than a normal car's roof.

        I feel invisible when I am driving my 2003 Subaru Forester, not so much in my 1992 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 !

    I've gone thru a few comparison videos on EweTube, and Breville and Cuisinart seem to be the brands to get.  I do need a full toaster oven, not just a toaster, as the broiler in my in-wall oven is worthless (and I love nachos!)  
    My existing oven was a Black & Decker I grabbed for $40 a few Black Fridays ago; I used it enough to justify paying for a Breville.  
    Thanks guys!

    @Botch I would loved to have seen that. I get into those kinds of predicaments all the time.

    Stupid idiot at the game sitting behind me: "He has 3 fouls now, that's almost 5."

    Just one of the many gems he spouted off during the game.
