The fact that your autocorrect is capitalizing Exchange makes me think you've had some bad times.

shrug I guess we'll see but I don't think it's at all far fetched to think that more people will be lining up and saving for a switch 2 compared to a new xbox, even a year after the launch. The switch is one of the most successful consoles of all time and I don't see any indication that demand for the switch 2 will be softer.

The problem with the question of why is that you can always ask why again. Say we do understand the mechanism of the big bang. You can still ask "why" about why things are that way. Which is why in my view that's still more of a "how?" "Why" is more of a question for philosophers than scientists imo.

I'm doing just fine.

Well we still don't have a date on it and many previous Nintendo launches have had demand way outstrip supply, leading to the new console being a pretty hot item way past initial launch date.

Perhaps for people who want gamepass but don't want to deal with PC gaming. But I can't really think of anyone I'd recommend buying an Xbox to currently. Really the last place platform this generation, by a lot.

I don't fancy their odds with the switch 2 coming out and eating their hype cycle. Have a feeling people would view this more as an xsx pro than a full generational upgrade. I honestly don't think Xbox stock has ever been lower so they better hope this doesn't flop (or perhaps hope that Sony does something really dumb with the PS6 launch, which admittedly is far from out of the question).

Obviously not always an option to use an oven/stove if you are e.g. bringing a packed lunch into a typical office. It's certainly a better option for some things (you will never get "crispy" from a microwave, period) but microwave still produces acceptable results for many things, particularly if you are willing to put some thought and care into how you use it.

These aren't words for sugar, these are words for things that contain sugar. Brown sugar for example has molasses added to it. Barley malt syrup is a specific thing derived from, yes, barley.

Empirical observation can get you the what and the how, but I don't think it will ever tell you the why. Who says there even is a why?

Never for reheating leftovers, anyway, which is 99% of what I use a microwave for. I have a kettle for other stuff. Overly high heat is gonna turn your proteins into rubber and exaggerate the "flaming hot on the outside, still cold in the middle" effect. There's also lots of other stuff like arranging things to avoid dead spots, making use of coverings to trap steam, not throwing your vegetables that will take a minute to warm up in at the beginning with the big hunk of pasta that's gonna need several minutes to heat through, etc.

But yeah if you're reheating your food on >50% power you are almost definitely making it turn out worse than it would be on lower power.

Majority of McDonalds locations are franchised so quality varies widely.
