  • In flagrant violation of the premise behind Microwaves: cooking food fast.

  • Yet tastes like chicken.

  • And yet somehow the "None of the Above" party (listed at the top on my last provincial ballot) made it through...

  • Wow, who could have predicted this enshittification coming?

  • According to the Wiki the latest release is 3 months old. It is still in use, but doesn't look to be for the average consumer.

  • You could make the same argument about any experimental medical intervention in a child’s life

    Yup, and there's even ethics review boards convened solely to analyze that argument with the particulars of a case and rule whether the treatment is okay to go ahead. This guy played god without approval from this review process and deserved the time served.

  • We can still see the initial intentions as being morally good

    Ah, yes... the pavement of the road to Hell.

  • To all the commenters saying this guy was a saint for doing what he did, would you say the same thing had the outcome been disastrous? Babies born without HIV, but with constant excruciating pain or mental deficiency?

    He took an extraordinarily reckless and permanently life-altering, for good or bad, risk with children's lives.

    edit: spelling

  • A Republican state senator was arrested in Bloomington on Monday on suspicion of soliciting an underage girl for sex, police say.

    Saved you a click.

  • Are you aware that Blacklight is using Amazon Web Services?

  • I've been noticing a reduction in what's shown lately and I approve. Many shows have them simply start kissing and cut to them getting dressed in the morning. Perfect. Show they've connected physically without unnecessary porn filler.

  • I'm of the mind that the Orange Imbecile intends to start a war, any war, to justify him staying on as president beyond his second term. If a civil war doesn't happen within 3 months of the start of the next presidential election cycle I fully expect him to attempt to invade us. Whether his military allows it or not is anyone's guess but AFAIK he has already begun emptying the top brass of any dissenters so....

  • Explain to me how lab statistics would help? Then explain how you could generate useful statistics using the extremely non-standardized settings of every unique household in the world?

    Now that the absurdity of wanting statistics is set aside... Microwave caused superheating of water is a well studied and understood phenomenon. There are things that reduce the likelihood, sure: air bubbles created by modern low-flow taps, general impurity of tap water, and scratches in used containers all provide nucleation points and reduce the likelihood of superheating.

    All it takes is jossling a new mug so the air bubbles all float out, with a particularly clean supply of city water (or filtered is a common culprit) and that thing you've been doing for years blows up in your face at 105oC.
