Well I hear the thunder roll, I feel the cold winds blowing...
But you won't find me there, 'cause I won't go back again...
While you're on smoky roads, I'll be out in the sun...
Where the trees still grow, where they count by one...
Microwaves help you be lazy and eat garbage. I would destroy them all, had I the power to do so.

I also need nothing more than windows and a fan for climate control, but now that my gf lives with me we have stuff to make air drier, moister, and cleaner. Luckily I talked her out of an air conditioner, it won't fit in our windows and we don't have the floor space! I work outside all day imagine needing an AC.

Unironically competing in squalor-fest. You consumers with your weakness and materialism... you disgust me!

This. My county also requires them. Furthermore, when we had to claim my deceased mother-in-law's TIAA/CREF legacy, they required us to submit printed forms. It's like faxes: some places still require them, and you curse and use MyFax or equivalent.

An appliance is essential if it solves a problem for you. Most of you don't care about making bread. My Ankarsrum mixer is essential to me, even though I already have a perfectly good stand mixer, because it makes breadmaking easy and produces perfectly mixed bread, as slack or as stiff as I choose. In somebody else's house, it would be counter clutter. Along those lines, when we didn't have a dishwasher, we spent months with dishes stacked next to the sink, because as soon as we did a deep dive and cleaned them all up, a new stack would begin.

They also help you reheat the healthy leftovers you made earlier in the week. If microwaves didn't exist people would still eat garbage because Westerners are just Romans without the aesthetics or the sense of community and Romans loved fast food.

we have a tendency to put all our faith in our new appliances for a little while and the microwave might be the worst, longest lasting offender. for like 40 years after they became common, all home cooking was gonna be done in the microwave. everything would come with microwave and oven instructions no matter how complicated or useless the microwave instructions might be (e.g. "microwave poptart for 3 seconds at a time"). it took instant pots and air fryers to break our wild infatuation with the microwave

As a kid I ate my fair share of Schwann's microwave pizza, but even then the majority of use my microwaves have seen has been for reheating leftovers. I think it's a cultural thing.

My old apartment didn't have a microwave so I bought the shittiest tiniest lowest powered microwave. It could barely heat up a thimble of water. I left it in there when I moved out and saw an ad for my old apartment two months later with microwave prominently listed in the amenities and a picture of the microwave on the counter front and center. Also the rent listed was 1/3 more than I'd been paying. Capitalism!

There are five people listed as being onboard including the CEO of the company running the thing. Their own website lists it's capacity as 4 +pilot. I think the guy was driving/giving a personal tour or something

quote:

* HAMISH HARDING. The British billionaire and chairman of aviation company Action Aviation is among those missing. Dubai-based Harding had posted on social media that he was proud to be heading to the Titanic as a "mission specialist", adding: "Due to the worst winter in Newfoundland in 40 years, this mission is likely to be the first and only manned mission to the Titanic in 2023."

Harding was also on board the 2019 "One More Orbit" flight mission that set a record for the fastest circumnavigation of earth by aircraft over both geographic poles.

"He doesn't stand still. If he's not working hard, he's exploring hard," said Jannicke Mikkelson, an explorer and friend of Hamish.

* SHAHZADA DAWOOD and his son SULEMAN. Their family have confirmed they are on board. Shahzada is vice chairman of one of Pakistan's largest conglomerates, Engro Corporation, with investments in fertilisers, vehicle manufacturing, energy and digital technologies. According to the website of SETI, a California-based research institute of which he is a trustee, he lives in Britain with his wife and two children. Shahzada's interests include wildlife photography, gardening and exploring natural habitats, while Suleman is a fan of science fiction literature, according to a statement from the Dawood Group.

* PAUL-HENRI NARGEOLET. The 77-year-old French explorer, whom media say is one of the five on board, is director of underwater research at a company that owns the rights to the Titanic wreck. A former commander in the French Navy, he was both a deep diver and a mine sweeper. After retiring from the navy, he led the first recovery expedition to the Titanic in 1987 and is a leading authority on the wreck site. In a 2020 interview with France Bleu radio, he spoke of the dangers of deep diving, saying: "I am not afraid to die, I think it will happen one day."

* STOCKTON RUSH. The founder and CEO of the vessel's U.S.-based operating company OceanGate is also on the submersible, according to media reports. "It is an amazingly beautiful wreck," Rush told Britain's Sky news of the Titanic earlier this year. "Rush became the youngest jet transport rated pilot in the world when he obtained his DC-8 Type/Captain’s rating at the United Airlines Jet Training Institute in 1981 at the age of 19," according to his biography on OceanGate's website.
