Granted that this isn’t microwave related, but it’s definitely popcorn related. Have you ever heard of a popcorn cannon? They’re designed to even be able to pop regular corn right off the cob…

Don’t worry, I put you back on the shelf with a higher price tag.

Okay. Undercooked meat may yield bad parasitic worms. So what, what makes pork any different than any other meat in that regard?

Always cook meat thoroughly and that shouldn’t be a problem. Pork ain’t any different.

Apparently they still don’t understand food preparation, otherwise these fast food joints wouldn’t have had to pull onions off their foods.

Why you think I mentioned onions first? The cycle continues…

Onions live in filth. Potatoes live in filth. All fruits and vegetables live in filth, often fertilized with manure.

So what the fuck does filth have anything to do with anything?

Well, Florida got it pretty bad this hurricane season, so I guess it partly depends exactly what area of Florida you’re considering, plus basically whichever of the two states is generally in better shape after their recent disasters.

Either way, wherever you go, check the specific area you’re considering first.

Meanwhile, after they mastered the process of making LEDs, they were quoted to have a half life of around 400 years, meaning that after 400 years continuous use, they’d be expected to emit about half as much light as they did new.

Now what did they go and do? They ramped up the power and made them blindingly bright, yet only last like 5 years or so, if you’re lucky.

And the cycle of enshittification continues…

Ah, but that’s just it, lightbulbs were the beginning of enshittification. Once lightbulb manufacturers realized people weren’t coming back to buy more bulbs very often, they started deliberately making them to burn out a bit faster, to make them more of a consumable product.

Do note, there’s a difference between a conspiracy theory and an actual conspiracy. This actually happened yo, and we’re still suffering with this sort of deliberately short lived shit today…

Once upon a time, stuff was made to last…

At the time, for the iPad 2, yes. The touchscreen is not sealed to the LCD on the iPad 2, it’s only glued to the edges of the frame with double sided tape.

Neither part was broke, it was just that the frame was slightly bent by the volume buttons, jamming one of the buttons in. It was such a subtle bend that I really didn’t see any good reason to go through all the trouble of disassembly, as even that risks breaking the touchscreen.

I fixed a bent iPad 2 using a rubber mallet and a short piece of wood on a good flat wooden bench. Hey, I didn’t feel like busting out the heat gun and all that nonsense for the glued on touchscreen just for a bent metal frame, so I took a chance.

At worst, the touchscreen might have broke in the process, but that would have only set me back $7 and an extra 45 minutes. But it worked perfectly, flattened out correctly, didn’t break anything, and I got to go to lunch like 45 minutes early.

I don’t recommend this approach though.

All of a sudden?

You do have a point, though in terms of common everyday language, that’s a bit disappointing.

Alternate question…

What the fuck is a ‘battleground’ state, and why does the media even have the nerve to use that term? I mean I know what it basically means, they should stick with ‘swing’ state, instead of putting the word ‘battle’ into nutjob’s heads just before an election.

I don’t care what people’s political opinions are, but we already have enough gun nuts out there, and at least a couple attempts on the former president’s life.

You can’t even feel safe sending your kids to school in numerous areas, and can’t even always feel safe in a Walmart these days.

Are you sure we’re not already in a civil war?

Yay! Guess I can’t subscribe just yet until you finish arranging the community, but I’ll gladly subscribe 👍

I saved your comment to respond later once I got my words together.

I really appreciate your comment, seriously. But I never thought of it as a hobby, I thought of it as an obligation, to understand time, as best as possible anyways.

At age 9, I had just recently gotten my first glasses. I was left home alone for like a half hour, and I just stared at their analog clock. After 5 minutes, counting the ticks and watching the dials, I just understood it. Never even had to ask an adult.

I always thought of it as an obligation of education that I somehow missed before I got glasses.

I never once thought of it as a hobby before you described it that way.
