Most microwaves go for 1-6 minutes when you press 1-6 without pressing something else first. Manually setting a time is cook time enter time start. Most operations are thus 1 key press or more rarely 2

It would be fairly awful given the circumstances. We have a history of faulty and overzealous prosecutions especially against black and poor people. For any given offense there are essentially 3 sorts of sentences. The sentence they will threaten you with in hopes of getting you to plea even if innocent say something absurd like 20 years, the "deal" you may be given which could be 3 months and the punishment for making them actually go to trial which may be 3 years.

Theoretically everyone is entitled to representation but you may not qualify for free help unless you are desperately poor and the quality of the free help may be so bad its worse than nothing. It's normal for unsuccessful prosecution to cost anything from thousands to hundreds of thousands depending on complexity of case. Ultimately virtually all cases are settled with a plea including cases which are so weak its hit or miss if they would have secured a conviction or sometimes cases so weak there was no chance of conviction but scared people accept it. Especially if its a case in which they get no actual time in jail they just agree to pay the government continually for years and go to jail if they ever get in trouble. Hell some people plea because the alternative is spending months in jail although innocent because they cannot afford to pay to get out but they get out immediately with a plea but agree to get robbed by the government for years.

In fact there is a sort of plea you can enter where you don't admit you did anything wrong but agree to go to jail anyway.

So if you understand just how fucked up our system is imagine if they can just keep going after going all the way to trial and definitively losing.

It's hilarious that our pres talks about shithole countries whilst presiding over one.

Microwaves cook very quickly unlike you know normal ovens and don't within the scope of normal cooking time output much air to carry the smell to allow you to decide when they are done. By the time you smell it you have nuked it way way too long.

Also most microwaves make it extremely easy to put things in for small increments for instance hitting 1 - 6 on mine's keypad and nothing else immediately starts it for 1 - 6 minutes and also has a dedicated 30 seconds button. So it is incredibly easy to set it for a known small length of time allowing you to do other things whilst it cooks rather than standing by the fuckin door waiting to stop it. If you forget you may either ruin your food, destroy your microwave, or start a fire.

There are basically massive downsides to what you are suggesting and no upsides. It is just so unfathomably stupid that were this post to be associated with your real identity it is the only thing the entire world would associate with your name.

You sound fairly narrow-minded in describing not liking food as a worldview.

Dislike of food is a viceral thing.You normally explore what makes you feel good and rather than defining it. Basically you are a tall person berating people for being short.

You might be mildly allergic I had a weird reaction to shellfish before becoming full-blown allergic face swelling up trouble breathing etc .

People who aren't illiterate actually read articles. You post the information about the article so that people know if they want to read it or not. Then we discuss the contents of the article with other assholes who also read the article.

Because discussing with others who have also only read the blurb is fucking useless because nobody knows a fucking thing.

Posting the article link both makes it easy to facilitate this while also maintaining the polite fiction that the other dumbasses could have at least in theory read the article.

You are posting here but you have no fucking idea what the fucking point of such forums is because you are an illiterate child and then you have the nerve to get angry. You don't have to provide a link... you don't have to make a post either you could leave that task to the actual adults.

Also the culture of posting such pictures results in trivial fakes blending in because idiots judge the veracity of the source pictured without any way to authenticate unlike a fucking url.

Those people are choosing to run the DNC isn't "running them". It's normal for one person to choose to run even though others are as well. It's literally how democracy works. It isn't shocking that some of the people running are going to be black and others white. This post is nonsense.

This too is the wrong reaction. The truth is the truth. You find out the truth by finding evidence. It's rarely in the middle of 2 extremes. It's just what it is.

This is kind of bullshit. It doesn't allow a corporate goon with an MBA to hire a virtual developer but it does amplify the work one can do. If you think it can't do anything you are pretty far off from reality.

Writing tests faster. Writing docs faster. Writing exploratory code faster even if you don't ultimately use the code. Splitting out general utility functions that are nice to have but which you wouldn't think. Refactoring.

Maybe if you are top 1% working on hard problems and mentoring it just slows you down meanwhile the bottom 50% has lots of work to do which it really does help with

Most of the people around you are morons habituted by lots of training like animals to do increasingly sophisticated tasks correctly like trained animals while most of the facts are just drilled into their heads not arrived at organically or intelligently. Take away that training and they would obviously be morons to you. Let the morons raise other morons and it would be increasingly obvious.

DRC citizens aren't inherently any dumber than Americans or French people. They are just average people without the beneficial effects of society possibly with some environmental poisoning and malnutrition. If we could actually help instead of pretending to help and exploit them they could be peers.
