its actually not. You need something the size of at least half the wavelength of the microwave, or multiples of it. Thats why forks and aluminium foil spark a lot (they have “antennas” that allow for charge separation through the microwave and if two of those separated charges are in close proximity a spark is formed).
But if you have one single “antenna” like in a knife or spoon, no part of large charge separation is close enough for a spark.
However if you dont know about this you better not put anything metallic or conductive into the microwave.


2014 Germany for the final at category 1 was 990$, less than half, accounting for inflation and generously rounding this would be 1400$.
Edit: Less than half for Cat 4 right now
Emacs for the vim?


I am late GenZ, we used to drink all day, every day from pumps on playgrounds and parks that were just unfiltered well water. Until they shut them down one by one. This was not a GenZ idea, this were Boomers and GenX trying to line their pockets with the “savings” these measures had.
Legends say that Boomers and GenX then complain about children not playing outside anymore.
If you blame GenZ or Alpha for how they have grown up in the society and environment you left them with it just reeks of the signature Boomer mentality to fuck everything up for everything but themselves and then blaming everyone else.
Yeah because Windows turned you all into tech-iliterate people and Linux is a good start into learning how to properly use a computer. Recently a Coworker approached me because she needed to move every photo from one folder to another and she has been dragging and dropping them all day but its just to many. While technically some Windows people know its possible with Windows cmd in a one-liner, most if not all Linux users will know the command in a heartbeat.
There is exactly one OS that improves the skills of its users just by using it.
Maybe if Windows and Mac users wont act like a bug stuck on its back once they encounter the slightest hint of a problem and start bothering the Linux guy with it, the Linux guy would be less condescending on their OS choice.
And yet when there is a school shooting, everyone of these is just cowardly waiting outside


I would recommend anything Thermal Grizzly: https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/
Simply because the owner has two 1 hour long videos explaining how its made and tested and it actually seems to be one of the best.


Well you can give mammals lead and they turn batshit crazy, everytime and in short periods of time.
If you give them plastic, some studies find some behavioral changes depending on what plastic, which particle sizes and how its administered, but to be honest it doesnt seem to play in the same league as lead at all.
Like in this study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7282048/ Table 1: Wistar rat, 10mg/kg oral 35 days, no alterations in behaviour.
Not saying there is no effect at all, there likely is, but here we have to look carefully for it, while with lead poisoning you could see and hear the “alterations in behaviour” from 100m away.

You can see it from space
PopOS is great, the installation process is like 5minutes, with 4 minutes being the download and boot from USB. From there on you click “next” 5 times and are rebooting into a working system.
To be absolutely honest, I had to do some googling and command line stuff to get my fingerprint reader in the laptop working but that was the only thing that needed any attention. But I never did a Windows install where I didnt have to configure at least 2-3 drivers, so I consider it a draw.
From there one it is the typical stuff: You need one proprietary software? You have to figure it out for hours how to get it to work. You are fine with open source options? Go enjoy a blazing fast ad-free non intrusive non annoying OS. For me the trade of is worth it. Been using Linux since I was 14, if I could do it from my kids room with parents switching of WLAN after 22:00 you can do it too.
Linux became so good at emulating windows apps, it now runs some of them better than windows itself (higher fps, lower power draw), so eventually their will be a port.
Given that these non native ports run in containers/bottles/whatever and internet access is often limited by default. However internet access is the key for their new business modell.
Basically Linux users will get the same or better product, without the drawbacks, which reminds me of pirated movies, where only the people actually buying it were made to sit through unskipable commercials.
