It started with Gerry Springer, really. We started celebrating the most awful qualities of humanity and normalized them.

It's fine for platinum cured toys, but you better be really sure it's platinum cured.

Unless you're redlining your systems 24/7, the load really shouldn't be that bad.

My first gen i7 would still be going strong if the mobo hadn't started dying. Especially running Linux.

It seems like a super appropriate use for them.

Because they weren't the right color

Gotta impeach him now. What a shame.

I would hope that Canada would just annex the US at that point.

It's definitely not the worst technique I've seen, though. Without seeing the reference it's within the realm of possibility that it's supposed to look a little fucked.

Do you have any statistics regarding how likely a water eruption is? Because I microwaved water daily for nearly a decade without issue.

The turnstile removes most of the risk because super heating is a lot more difficult with moving water. Plus, most glasses aren't perfectly smooth and have plenty of imperfections to provide nucleation points.

You have to be pragmatic, though. There's a time and place to push for progress, and this isn't either. You need to stop the house from burning down before you can renovate it.

If 2028 even happens, it'll be a fight to reclaim the country. That means the person with the best chance of winning needs to run. AOC is not that person this year.

You have to remember that the vast majority citizens aren't anywhere near as informed on anything related to politics as the people here are. This is by design thanks to mass media. You have to field a person that appeals to the most people, and a Hispanic woman doesn't do that.

It's really fucking stupid that things are this way, but people are really fucking stupid. Tim Waltz is a very likable old white man, and that's what will win an election.

I think explosions were more common with microwaves that don't have turnstiles. The movement of the water helps prevent super heating to that point.
