Such a sweet voice

b1-66er: I'm interested in any comment you have.

DENT: I hadn't heard that.  I have known about taste receptors on the larynx.

"Set phasers to 'half stun'"

b1-66er: I've been playing around quite a bit with power levels on the microwave the last couple weeks
(I'd guess most people probably don't even know they even have it)
Essentially you can run a microwave on levels 1-10...
By default the run 10...
So if you pick 5 that's half power...
But the way it works is by turning the magnetron on, then off...
Repeat repeat repeat for 4 minutes...
So something like 'on' for 15 seconds, 'off' for 15 seconds...
Do you think that's easier, worse or the same to overall microwave "health?"...
(I'm absolutely convinced food cooks better this way
... probably due to "resting"/"imbuing" the thermal transfer event.)

b1-67er (C.P.E.): Almost certainly harder on the microwave.  I bet you get better heat distribution in your food though.

66: Yes. 
Thanks. 
I'm not sure I'll quit doing it. 
I think I'm willing to sacrifice a third of a microwave for it. 

67: Four things kill electronics: moisture, heat, vibration, and power surges.

66: Good list. 
I wonder why they built it in in the first place. 

67: I think I'm right...but if any key microwave parts get hot, you might give them longer life.

66: I'm the only person I've ever heard of who's played around with it. 

67: Defrost works that way, so really an easy option for the manufacturer to provide. 

Riding the semi-sane caboose

b1-66er: As hard hitting as metal writing ever gets...
"In the comments of the post, while some fans say Ozzy Osbourne is one of the greatest musicians in heavy metal, they added that they wanted to see him long times. On the other hand, many fans disagreed with them."

Special K: Hahahahaha
"Now I'll have another joint."

Put the Airlines after the West which is also after the South

Suttonhoo: SW is rescheduling upcoming flights as a habit -- in awkward ways. My four hour direct flight from MDW to SEA was rerouted through LAS with a three hour layover

b1-66er: Empty plane problems?
Why do you need to go from point A to point B?

S: I don't. I cancelled. It was a leftover flight from before.

b1: Great accidental discovery!
