Thanks!

Panasonic, Genius Prestige.

That’s actually super cool! (Admittedly, one of my favourite youtube channels is practical engineering so I am not an authority on actual coolness.)

Honestly, carefully looking on marketplace, being willing to travel to the bougie end of town got me a high end microwave for cheapish and I’m never ever going back.

Sensor reheat, just heats my damn food. Frozen food setting, hell yeah, all thawed perfectly.

The rich live better and I’m fine enjoying their leavings.

There’s been a significant, internationally tested drop in functional literacy skills in the last decade or so.

I agreed to sub for a friend’s soccer team despite having not played for a decade or so.

Fast forward a decade: I captain a team, play on two others, have made a boatload of awesome friends and am in better shape than I’ve ever been (which is a weird thing to say as an almost 40 year old.)

Related story, basically the hardest I laughed during covid.

Being a good Vancouverite, when those convoy fucks wanted to parade around and honk at hospitals, hundreds or thousands of us with bikes got in their way and kept them away from the hospitals.

Okay, so we’re blocking an arterial and some convoy fuck is screaming at us about how, in his words, “we’ve got to protest smarter.” He then finally realizes we have been politely letting non convoy cars through the lane next to him, so floors the accelerator and aims for that lane. But, he didn’t shoulder check and slammed right into a car in that lane in front of a cop. So for the next however long we got to point and laugh while advising him about the merits of shoulder checking and how he needed to drive smarter.

Gotta love when an asshole causes a 100% fault car crash with no injuries.

I wonder if one of you is switching the words around from dead hang?

A dead hang is when you hold yourself from a chinup bar.

Cheese grater.

I can’t speak for OP but personally, I want to help as many small lil communities as I can as I think that’s the best way to expand.

Oh, I think you’re completely correct in a world where time is infinite. I just… I’d love to take up linux as a hobby and all the hours that entails but I have a lot of hobbies already. There are so mamy things I want to read before I die and fighting through Linux technical manuals to get my weird triple monitor/tv/receiver set up correctly, well, that isn’t really up there in my top 50 life priorities.

Thank you! I will hopefully not have to take you up on this offer but I have it saved and already appreciate it!

Good to know! Being a Canadian, I’m pretty determined to transfer over to linux before Microsoft stops supporting windows 10 but have been pretty intimidated by various horror stories etc.

I can think of few better shots at America than getting linux to be a viable and free alternative to Windows for mainstream businesses and users.

What separates Bruce Wayne from other people apart from money?

The willingness to devote their lives to training in all forms of combat and gymnastics and push themselves past Olympic mastery (as well as all the esoteric knowledge and studying required to become the world’s greatest detective.)

And here’s the thing, if your theory were correct there should be multiple Batmen. It’s bizzare to claim that somehow the existence of one billionaire means no one else is able to become one or devote their lives etc.

Just to make sure I understand your position… Your theory is that if other people had Bruce Wayne’s money, they would spend it on advanced tech, weaponry and simultaneously devote their lives to training in all forms of combat and gymnastics and push themselves past Olympic mastery (as well as all the esoteric knowledge and studying required to become the world’s greatest detective) and thus be able to save the universe when asked, despite no one else doing this? Like the only thing stopping people in the D.C universe from becoming Batman is because Bruce Wayne has more money than most people?a

I love ++, so good!

Yes, he is the only billionaire.

I have a Japanese rice cooker (neuro fuzzy rice cooker by zojirushi) and goddamn it is good.

I know Panasonic was a Japanese company and my microwave is by them as well. (I admittedly splurged and got a fancy model second hand but it is the most ridiculously impressive microwave I’ve ever owned and I can’t go back.)

I’m pretty sure most of the time the Justice League saved the world it’s not because they were just giving the military a break.
