I'm very happy that RMS's current influence is not proportional to how much he contributed to FOSS as it is today.

But, also, yeah :(

I've never watched the show, but I figure there must be a reason why it took off so much.

"i don't want to make it seem like i'm micromanaging" well you're not doing a good job at that

Tbh I think gen z is the biggest demo into it but I could be wrong. The Simpsons is millennial humor to me.

But also it would mean richard stallman would be god king of the world.

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak! You can hurt my body but you cannot change my mind!

I think technology connections has a video where he says that while he thinks it sucks to do that, it's pretty energy efficient because the heat gets beamed directly into the water as opposed to using a coil stove. This assumes you don't have an electric kettle.

I might be wrong about the contents of this video. https://youtu.be/_yMMTVVJI4c?si=EKY61S8BddZ0AOKH

It's 108,000 Joules to heat up my cup of tea with the microwave. I don't have an electric or induction stove, otherwise I'd test it and see which comes out ahead in terms of energy usage.

I know now

That makes more sense. I usually do a cup of plain black tea in the morning.

yayyy :3

if you drink the same tea every time, that's fine but different tea leaves steep at different temps!

i'm down to give it a try tbh

I can usually achieve about the same water temperature by filling up the cup with the same amount of water I always do, and microwaving it for 120 seconds.

having control over the water temp, brewing more than a mug's worth , the ritual of tea ceremony, washing your tea leaves, etc

I wish rick and morty was funny but unfortunately I am not a millennial.

FACT CHECK: I didn't already know.

We rate this claim: PANTS ON FIRE

Ick. That's a problem I'm glad I don't have

I think that's a waste of electricity lol

people are soooo bad at keeping microwaves clean. microwaved water becomes a weakly flavorful broth. memories of myriad microwaved meals

thats true i did already know because you told me in voice chat

I demand (by threat of violence to your physical form) that you give me one.

SIC SEMPER VAMPIRIS

yeah it's fine the fans are just obnoxious. anyway i'm going to turn myself into a pickle before work tomorrow

Amen
