I have never once (unintentionally) superheated water in a microwave, and I’ve been using them since about 1980 (and God knows we were idiots with them back then).

It just doesn’t happen - there are too many imperfections in our containers, and too many minerals for it to happen much.

I’ve experimented many times, and the reality is you have to work at superheating water in a microwave.

For me, it’s taken things like a brand new Pyrex measuring cup (glass), and filtered water. I can do it with other stuff, but I’ve had to boil/cool it multiple times, something that isn’t really going to happen.

But one more thing to own, store, manage, for a little convenience.

I can boil 2 cups of water in the microwave in 5 minutes. Or 4. Takes about the same amount of time.

120v vs 220v

Also tea, as in tea time. Americans don’t have this custom, so it’s not a big driver.

Um, yea.

No

Lol, then that’s a you problem.

That exact phrase is how it would be used, and has been used, in print, for decades

You should refrain from using hyperbole, especially when wrong.

And you should especially refrain from insulting people.

And I think that comes from French via the Norman invasion of 1066.

C vs K is a major distinction of language families too, I forget the terminology for it.

Tasker, Automate,Macrodroid.

Just have them watch for volume changes and reset alarm volume then.

I dunno, I’d say people do things like coke, cheat, etc, because of beliefs.

They have a belief that “it doesn’t matter”.

But yea, our beliefs, our paradigms, are what help us be better people to each other.

Hell, science is founded on the belief that the universe is rational, that “God does not play dice with the universe”.

Studying quantum mechanics makes me wonder otherwise. Nothing about it is rational. Not to say I don’t operate on a day-to-day basis that the underlying framework makes sense, what other choice do we have?

You brought religion into this, and your sophist insults.

Sounds like someone has a belief and is upset it’s being exposed.

Defensive? Now who’s stooping to insults because someone doesn’t believe in your belief?

Well, they are.

They define one’s view of the world, your paradigm.

Not for a kid it isn’t.

And that’s the point you keep sweeping away.

I don’t think of gaming as socializing - that’s your daughter’s metric.

Not all game players are the same, which is why there are so many different categories of games.

My experience after 35 years in IT: I’ve had 10x more outages caused by automatic updates than everything else combined.

Also after 35 years of running my own stuff at home, and practically never updating anything, I’ve never had an outage caused by a lack of updates.

Let’s not act like auto updates is without risk. Just look at how often Microsoft has to roll out a fix for something an update broke. Inexperienced users are going to be clueless when an update breaks something.

We should be teaching new people how to manage systems, this includes proper update checks on a cycle, with appropriate validation that everything works afterwards, and the ability to roll back if there’s an issue.

This isn’t an Enterprise where you simply can’t manually manage updates across hundreds or thousands of servers, and tens of thousands of workstations - this is a single admin, small environment.

I do monthly update checks, update where I feel it’s warranted, and verify systems afterwards.

Because necklaces are fragile. The end.

This is the answer.

The only downside is you can see how stripped those screws are even in this photo. That’ll be fun.

I have repeatedly caught those “experts” contradicting their own statements during a diagnosis, a couple times in urgent care when a family member was in serious distress.

It wasn’t intentional on their part, just an oversight, as it happens with all of us.

I learned to carefully track statements/conditions/limits while diagnosing tech problems in team discussions under pressure. In that environment, anyone can call out a mistake or contradictory statements, as the goal is accurate diagnoses.

Just because someone is an “expert”, doesn’t make them infallible.

Additionally, it’s not for them to decide my course of treatment - it’s for them to help me understand the risks of different treatments, the likelihood of success, and we decide together.

I aay this as having just gone through saying no to major surgery that the docs just assumed I would do.

My body, my choice.

This kind of question is similar to proving a negative in logic.

You’re asking why people think it’s trustworthy, implying you believe it isn’t.

1. *Which people think it’s trustworthy? You used an ambiguous “many people” - I’d need to see something supporting this assumption.

2. It would be more useful for you to give examples of why you don’t find it trustworthy, as this is what really matters with regard to any source.

I don’t trust any one source, and instead try to piece together a likely truth by considering the different sources and how a story is told. I’m surely wrong as much as I’m right, but it’s the best any of us can do.
