Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Side note, homemade tortilla chips with a little sprinkle of a ranch seasoning

I like this idea, and I could think of a lot of interesting spice combos to use. I'm already partial to garlic and rosemary on fries in the air fryer, that would be great on tortilla chips.

Do you fry them, bake them, what? Will they work in the air fryer?

Basic pot with corn oil. The tortillas themselves are incredibly cheap when you buy the packages, I cut them into sixths instead of quarters to feel fancy.

Yeah, I'd do 6ths, too.

So I really hate deep frying. What do you do with the leftover oil?

Dunno who downvotes an honest question, but I got you back on the better side of zero.

Suffice to say most people will call me dirty, but I leave it as is most times. If I'm desperate and/or lazy and didn't want to go to the store for more and it's starting to taste funky, I ghetto clarify it with a 1:3 mix of cornstarch and milk respectively.

Start with one drop off water from your finger in the cold oil and when you hear it start to bubble, kill the heat and add one more drop off water. When you hear it popping once every half second or so add a small amount of the milk cornstarch mix and stir vigorously. Strain through first a course sift then a fine one. The proteins in the milk and cornstarch will bind with all the nastiness and make the particles big enough to be caught by the filters and give you almost brand new oil assuming you don't deep fry at 400+degrees.
