Of course, the first working one was the 4th itteration of prototypes. So that makes it MASSIV (Military Artificial Satellite Spaceship IV)

I abolutely will tip. Let's see, 25% of -$10k is... Wait, why be stingy? Lets make it a full 100%

Keep notes on what you do including outcomes. You can always reinstall, skip all of the extra crap you didn't need to mess around with and have a good clean system without having to back track.

In my area, trash is screened and ladfilled. Some hair goes with that, but most enters the solids stream where it is treated then the treated residuals are applied to farms as a soil enhancer/fertilizer. Pretty cool that they don't just send it to landfill imo

Snow- the roads will be mostly normal to drive on except when it has just snowed. The fact that it sticks around means they lay down salt and/or sand where it is needed. Still, get a good lesson on how and when to brake, how to steer in a skid, and other snow stuff if you want to be safe on the road. If you are ever stuck in the snow, someone will stop to help. If you ever see someone stuck in the snow, you will stop to help.

Not sure what you mean about the snow blower. I have never had one and my parents had enough shovels for the many hands.

House roof snow. Never needed to scrape. If you have a flat roof that might be a thing. They should all be built with 'snow load' in mind though. There are other roof concerns like ice damming that I definitely have heard people putting fixes in place for.

The only thing I ever did for the dog was mushers wax on her feet. That repels snow and helps if the pads get to much salt. Dog coats definitely work if you have a skinny/small/very light coated dog.

Warm beats fashion for clothes. Get you ear flap hats or whatever else keeps the chill off. You might feel like a fool, but no one will look twice.

I don't know about the greenhouse but you can grow plenty in the summer without one.

Making friends- do something you like same as anywhere else. New to you would probably be ice skating, pick up hockey, curling, or x-country skiing. Kids joining 4H or scouts or whatever could do it too. I am sure there are local groups for any of those. Just look for meet ups of whatever kind you or the fam is interested in.

Absolutely no sarcasm intended. I had just never thought of it that way.

Mind blown by flawless logic

Yep, running into that 100% limit is why scientists increased the percentage limit. They did it right after they increased the speed of light.

Great info!

If you're looking for whole meal recipes, there is a cooking method called 'en papillote' with lots of recipes online. That method cooks ingredients all together in a sealed paper pouch in the oven. Since effectively you are just steaming in a pouch they translate well to microwave. I just used a microwave safe dish with a lid (not sealed tight) instead of paper and you'll have to play with cook times in your microwave.

Grains, rice, and beans can also do well in a microwave if you watch for boil over. Just add as much water is recommended and cook until done.

Look for recipes that call for steaming. They can all be translated to a microwave. You can make decent meals that way
