I've tried all the fixes, cleaning the contacts on the airpod, the contacts in the case (earbud, isoprop, even gentle scraping with a straightened paperclip). I still sometimes find the left airpod halfway charged, which is super annoying on flights and long workouts. Case is squeaky clean and free of any debris.

The Airpods are 3yrs old, and the batteries (both pods and case) are very good and give me around 6hr per charge. Feels wasteful to replace them but this is really frustrating.

Anything else I can try to get a permanent fix?

I was making bacon, and since I wanted to make something else later in the day and didn't want to clean the basket, I used a liner for the first time.

I was surprised with how much longer it made the whole cooking process, and how different the results were - I had to flip the bacon halfway, and it took me 20min to cook it (usually it is 12-14 depending on the amount). The bacon overall wasn't as crispy and uniformly cooked as usual.

Do you think the tradeoff is worth it?

I absolutely love ramen, and since I live in SEA I am spoiled for choice in terms of great, authentic options.

Problem is, whenever I have a bowl, I spend the next part of the day incredibly uncomfortable, my gut really struggling to digest, I presume because of the very high fat content of the broth. I don't get this, as my diet is not low in fat at all, and I am not sensitive to any of the typical ramen ingredients in isolation whatsoever.

Anyone else with this kind of experience? What is the solution? Not finish the broth?
