yeah we killed power to what appears damaged. we won’t know what else is fucked until we can get an electrician to look through everything this week.

you realize going to bat for a genocidier is categorically worse than bitching about wokeness, right?

I think the mice ate the wiring going into our stove. when we flip the breaker to the stove, there’s a strange, electronic clatter that sounds somewhere between popping corn and arcing. no smell of anything burning. also, a volt meter plugged into the same phase reads 20V lower than outlets on the other phase.

but they’re so cute I wanna keep them

7 is lit just cause you play as a left-wing paramilitary doing ecoterrorism, taking down the megacorp that is the government. I expected them to tone that down in the remake but they managed to go full “the ecoterrorists did nothing wrong”, instead, and you spend most of part 1 organizing the slums for community defense against the megacorp/cops. dunno who’s reading theory at square, but props.

I’ve seen that video and I love him to death – it’s just that my experience with microwaves has always been… well, just don’t use it, do literally anything else. I kinda want to buy a fancy microwave just to see if they actually work. to date, every microwave I’ve ever had has been one that came with the house/apartment, so probably the cheapest unit from walmart whenever they installed appliances. I’ve never actually bought a microwave before.

do people not just stick it in the fridge the day before? that seems like the safest way to defrost to me? it keeps it at food safe temperatures and, while it takes longer, it doesn’t take so long that I’ve ever had a problem doing it that way.

gonna be honest, I’ve never had a microwave that had any buttons that did what they claimed to except for punching in a time and letting it run - and even that’s a stretch. the defrost button either does literally nothing or straight up cooks the food and never anything in between. I hate microwaves so much.
