I give it a 5/10. No mention of beans, unix socks, or tankies.

The Loophole

Yes, that’s in the post title.

Nope, pretty much all have a duty cycle. Like 30 seconds on, 10 seconds off, and they keep repeating that or similar for however long the cook time is. If you listen closely you can hear the magnetron kick on and off.

I believe Panasonic was the only company that sold an inverter microwave that lowered the power output.

Black plastic doesn’t yellow like white. Microwaves are pretty much a commoditized item. Unless they’re trying to make it a “smart device” and sell you a subscription.

The Antique Microwave Oven that’s Better than Yours

Primer because Primer. (Video warning and some spoilers for a bunch of different films.)

I don’t know if I would subscribe to it, but it is one of the more interesting ideas for time travel.

I was hoping that would go away when covid stuck around. People still want to shake hands!

Mel Brooks. He turned 98 this year.

I see your schwartz is as big as mine. Let’s see how you … handle it.

OP said die and I’m going to take him at his word 😉

So you want to die in a burning boat‽ While some countries in Europe allow for assisted suicide, I don’t think any allow for self immolation while at sea.

Now if you’re looking for a viking funeral procession after your death, I would think environmental regulations would be the biggest hurdle.

Unless you are growing the tomatoes yourself, you’re better off using canned. Store bought are picked green and are watery and flavorless. They’re only good for salads and sandwiches.

I have one like that. He’s so fluffy and soft and his fur gets everywhere.

It’s easier than that: c for ceiling, g for ground.

But they could be shitting right next to you! Menacingly!

Apple has a long history of working against right to repair and third party repair shops. This includes making it difficult for third parties to source the parts needed and changing the designs to requiring part pairing in the name of security. It got to the point where repair shops were buying broken Apple products so they could hopefully source the parts needed.

Looking through what they provided now, it’s basic stuff any third party repair shop could do if they could source the parts. It’s useful. However good electronic technicians can go beyond that and do board level repairs. But that requires schematics and diagrams. A lot of times they would have to get those through other parties who in turn got them through less than official means or violated NDAs.

Guess what Apple isn’t providing? Board level information. This is just doing the minimum the law requires them to do.

I remember when this was just a joke on Futurama. Why does life imitate art in the dumbest way possible‽
