Microwaves are designed to heat water molecules. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven

US outlet is 120V@20A = 2.4kW UK outlet is 230V@13A = 3.0kW

It's a 15% difference based on possible power draw.

Anecdotally the stove will still take many times longer. Even compared to induction my kettle is faster.

My guess is that in the UK/EU it's not common to have powerful microwaves?

Textbook authors be like:

sintx^2 + cosπx^3 - 3

So they can get away with whatever assault they want without getting doxed. Can't let their friends and family know they're one of the bad apples.

Tap for spoilerThey still don't know there's no good apples

A decidedly non-anarchist take 🤣

He needs a new job.

I've worked with hundreds of homeless people, usually trying to help them before the cops sweep their camp, or keeping their car rolling so they can keep living in it.

There was a ubiquitous set of conditions:

  • can't afford housing even though they had a job.
  • lost identifying documents, usually in a sweep, and working on replacing them. You can't get work without these.
  • no reliable postal address
  • no support network

I've never met anyone who wanted to be living on the street.

I'm not talking about crust punks train hopping. I'm talking about the people who missed a day of work for whatever reason and couldn't make rent one month. Now they're in a tent near available services because the shelter kicked them out after the max stay of a week.

Being a therapist gives you no expertise here and it seems to me that a therapist who sees punishment as a viable means for behavioral change is kind of shit at their job.

The amount of times I've looked at the Aussie and Japanese markets and just sat jealous...

It's a political problem. Houseless people are there because there's no political willpower to create systematic change to support them. So you're absolutely right when you say:

we must either come up with new resources or reevaluate our investments in the resources we currently employ.

The only problem is the answer to this question is more often on the side of the investment not being worth it, so the problem is left unaddressed.

Pp size matters not, big truck people are still afraid.

If it's an elf woman that ~~may or may not be particularly~~ is either extremely horny or ace, i have a pretty solid guess of the English voice actor...

I miss mini-trucks. Compact size cab with full size bed, engine from a sedan and 4wd. Good economy, much cheaper, great utility, better handling, less dead children, and a lot more fun out on the trails.

~~Caustic masculinity~~ fear of smol pp ruins everything.

 

I am building a new PC. I want to run Linux and windows on separate SATA 2.5/3.5 SSD hard drives. I need windows (Winn11 Pro) for work. Linux will run all personal computing needs.

I have a horrible history with dual booting Linux and windows (grub getting murdered).

I currently plan to shut down the PC, switch power to the drives, and start up on the other OS.

Can i use a switch which only toggles power to each drive while keeping data cables attached to accomplish this? Will this be possible with windows on one drive?

Is there a smarter solution?
