Yeah I know it uses waves towards the center but the are throughout the microwave, yet no one questions the holes in the metal siding, which are metal circles. So if arcing was an issue on smooth sutfaces, it should happen there as well.

You mean like a spoon on a glass or ceramic plate? That seems unlikely.
There is even companies that make glass/stainless steel lids for their microwave safe containers. So the kids won’t warp like the plastic ones do and have to be thrown away

I’m lazy and don’t use tik tok, but from what I’ve seen when my spouse is on there this would make an interesting tik tok channel (is that what they are called?). Spoon Spark, where someone collects a shit ton of spoons and people take their guess on whether or not they’ll spark or even start a fire. Maybe get different power levels of microwaves to increase to throughout the tournament.
The E-Waste Arc Spark competition.

Comically enough, many spoons of out in the microwave would be fine. Not recommending you try it, but if the issue comes from arcs. And spoons don’t have areas where arcs can occur naturally, like a fork.

Yeah the word he spelled came from Hindu meaning garden apparently. Or Africa meaning creative. No ties to America I could find. I guess they sound close
- Comment on shrooms 4 days ago:
What’s a heros dose. I only did small amounts and it was long ago. Much better experience than I expected. Easier to snap out of than anything else. If your high on weed or drink you can’t really snap out. But with a low amount of shrooms I definitely could. Then go right back to wondering why all of the Scooby Doo characters are naturally occuring in the cement walkway while sitting on the stoop

- Comment on 'Xbox Hardware Is Dead,' Says Founding Team Member, 'It Looks Like Xbox Has No Desire — Or Literally Can't — Ship Hardware Anymore' - IGN 4 days ago:
There was an old HP touchsmart that my partner had laying around. It’s terrible. Pentium Processor, standard HDD, with no dedicated graphics so running much of anything on it is out. No wireless AC, so it has to be a 2.4ghz network, and I don’t have a hardwire in the bedroom. So I just threw Mint on it installed RustDesk because I didn’t have a wireless mouse and keyboard or anywhere to put them if I had them. About a week into realizing it had some troubles playing larger movies (even mp4s from the machine no matter the player) I moved to 720. I couldn’t tell the difference between 720p and 1080p from across the room on a 22" screen anyways. Now all the streams work fine. Starting to realize the last time I bought a monitor was 2009. Anyways, 4K on my TV in the living looks great, but it really isn’t needed for standard enjoyment. Especially if I’m only half ass paying attention.

I was interested in that whole ecoli eating plastic and producing 95% acetaminophen from it by mass. Maybe we can stop a lot of the plastic from water/soda bottles and just medicate ourselves till our lives shit themselves out our assholes.

Released for $4.60. below average game cost they said. This makes me wonder… What do games cost on release most places?
I seem to remember $40 PS2/Dreamcast era $50 PS3/360 era, $60 PS4/5/Xbox S/S era. And now people are saying $80 for next gen. Sorry I know I dropped a lot of consoles, but was that pretty standard everywhere?
- Comment on When voting for judges in elections, how are you supposed to know which are good? (Since none of them publicly express their political opinions, judges are *supposed* to be neutral) 1 week ago:
I agree that there really is no way for the layman to know. The states all vary as well. Meaning something like 10 states have partisan votes (party listed next to name in ballot). About 20 have non partisan, so they don’t list the party. Many have Yes/No retaining votes without listing a replacement, just decision to keep. Then some states have policies where the judge must be confirmed by the state Senate, and others approved by their state Congress. Beyond that, I don’t remember much, it is way to much for a person to keep up with and their should be independent bodies that evaluate performance/ judgements. I don’t know a perfect way to set it up though, as corruption is everywhere.
- Comment on [US] How do I find and vote for primaries and local positions in my state? 1 week ago:
Yeah, maybe it varies by state but where I have lived you can register to vote at the library as well. The other place you run into is the DMV, but no one wants to go there unless it’s an emergency. Moving from Florida to Tennessee, I was shocked when it said you could make an appointment to get quicker wait times, I went to schedule an appointment for the following Monday, to which I found out there were no appointments available for just over 2.5 months. So everyone just shows up and waits, which I’m sure just makes less time for appointments, and thus keeping wait times rediculous during peak hours. (Which seem to be all hours they are open here).
Extended bitching about the DMV here. I once went to get a new license, they gave me a paper one and said it will ship to my house. 2 weeks later I called and they said it could take up to 90 days but usually only takes 2 weeks. 31 days in I went back to the DMV and told them grocery stores won’t take the paper ID after 30 days as they consider it expired, even though the expiration date says years down the line. (Kroger, Publix). Well I was running instacart orders after work to make a few extra dollars to pay off some things. Mid 30’s get denied buying groceries because they had a bottle of wine or something and obviously only pissing off people who order at that point. I asked the DMV if I could buy a normal ID while waiting for my license to arrive, nope. They stated if I get a State ID it would mark me as no longer having a valid driver’s license and they would have to start the possible 90 days over, and have to collect the State ID when they issue the paper license. Fucking pain in the arse.
Anyways, go to the library, or register online
- Comment on It's a tragedeigh 1 week ago:
Acts of consentuality. I feel I want to be informed and so I try to keep up, but no one should have the burden of having to keep up with any changes on verbage. I think it would be nice to be voiced as simply as consentual. There really is no other information anyone should care about. Sex/gender/number of people, none of it matters.
Whether they marry monogamously, date openly, love however the person chooses to. It isn’t for me to cast my opinion on their acts, so it may cause harm to put detailed labels, as then they are easier to be weaponized.
They doesn’t mean people shouldn’t it couldn’t openly discuss their choices, just that when you make the boxes and ask people to put themselves in them, then the boxes divide the people, which is easier to “conquer”

Its also said that smokers are used to having less oxygen intake so if you throw a smoker and a non smoker on a mountain for a night, the smoker is less likely to get altitude sickness. Long term staying at altitude they’ll no longer have the advantage.
- Comment on If you were (falsely) accused of murder, but you have records of your phone at home with youtube videos being played, can you submit those records as a sort of Alibi to exonerate you? 1 week ago:
If you can get logs that show the unlock time and format it was unlocked with. Say fingerprint, and the GPS location/satellites the packets were going through you could theoretically prove you were within that area with the phone. In practice though… Dont know if you could get the location data supenod from the ISP. So it’s probably be on you to acquire the location data using something like googles location data. You can generally check it by going to Google maps, click your icon and choose timeline:
You can tell it to delete that data and set the retention period. Otherwise it will keep it for years if I remember correctly, I reduced mine to a couple weeks.
- Comment on It is what it is 1 week ago:
Firefox’s main funding was from Google being their default search engine. Which of course means anything searched in Google is recorded to the external IP address logs. So unless you are going directly to the website or changed the search engine in Firefox, yes Google was recording said information (or at least compiling the numbers for data analytics) to use for advertising purposes.
- Comment on Hot enough for ya? 1 week ago:
Proceeds to take a used car sales job, schedule appointments for people to come see the vehicles and bake edible cookie dough in the windshield and feed them to the staff right before they arrive. Recommend they take a test drive down to mom and pop cookie shop set up by my partner down the street.
Future self: failed at selling cars, but ate a lot of cookies.
- Comment on Hot enough for ya? 1 week ago:
Couldn’t you just start with an edible cookie dough? Mostly just a recipe that doesn’t use eggs and maybe not milk.

- Comment on We live in a society or smth 2 weeks ago:
I think the movie “The Post” did a good job highlighting the corruption within journalists/media as well. It’s not a historical accurate retelling people ensure to point out but it addresses how individuals get tied into closer relationships with politicians which gets them scoops which inevitably make them more money and promotions, but those can be tied to not asking the hard questions, and not wanting to hurt ties/friendships they form along the way.
Then again, most Tom Hanks movies end up being pretty good. Movies like “A Man Called Otto” always seem to come out of no where.
