For me, warming up leftovers or something like a frozen burrito seems to work best with setting my microwave power to P-50, which I guess means 50%. I then heat twice as long.
I do this, because I'm hoping for a more even warming, as opposed to blistering hot on the outside, and still cool on the inside. It reduces splattering, as well, when the food doesn't get too hot.
Also, it's worth pointing out that nothing in a straw man free market, or real free market, or any kind of market, that would make a competitor realize that a higher quality bread is worth selling. We're talking about bread, and not processor chips. Bread has been around for ages, and there are lots of ways to make them or things like them. With processor chips, we haven't been building them for centuries, so there are still many discoveries, I'm sure. There are just too many reasons for the best bread to not be made, assuming that there is such a thing of course.
My best advice is to switch keyboard layouts, and type with only 1 finger. You'll still want to use the web, but you won't enjoy it nearly as much, when you can only type about 5 words per minute, and have to look at the keyboard. After typing a word or two, you'll look up, only to see that you need to backspace, but that would mean having to reload the entire page, because it's faster, or having to delete a whole bunch text.
Another option is to go to a place that can't speak or write your native language, and you have no clue on how to speak theirs.
Hi. Long time, no chat. I hope that all is well with you.
I think that the big thing for you in general [and I'm obviously just guessing] is learning things outside of your major. This helps you to adapt to this unstable world. I found that to be the case for me. My major made a big difference, but the things outside of my major seem to be the most important right now.
I have just a nitpick. In my city, 5 minutes will give you enough time to drive 5 km or 3 miles. That's quite a distance. I hope that they shorten the time frame.
A company that's come close to abolishing Reply All is the global information and measurement firm Nielsen. On its screens, the button is visible but inactive, covered with a fuzzy gray. It can be reactivated with an override function on the keyboard. Chief Information Officer Andrew Cawood explained in a memo to 35,000 employees the reason behind Nielsen's decision: eliminating "bureaucracy and inefficiency."'
I hope somebody replied to all, quoting this entire memo and putting "OK" at the bottom.
Or how about making eating less appetizing, instead of relying on will power?
You write as if lack of knowledge were the problem. Can you imagine obese people walking, after reading statistics? If we put warning signs on cigarette packages, then will people stop and never start to begin with?
Also, maybe some film school students would love to get their projects on DVD or wherever. The bottom line is that people upload to YouTube for free, so if you can get that community in a DVD world, then you're golden.
I don't understand. Why wouldn't they send in their resumes and cover letters and talk about how good they are? Isn't that how it normally works at all levels of society?
It depends on the climate, I think. In some places, the snow is very dry. In other places, there is a thick solid layer of ice underneath.
I'm so surprised that so many people seem opposed to this.
In the parts of Canada that I've been to, we get thick layers of ice on the road, and it can be covered up by snow. Even in a story that I read, it was common for the characters to skate to school. When I was in college in Alberta, I would go about in a skating motion from building to building, when it was slippery enough. They could put salt on the walkways, but the bottom line is that life happens.
I never thought about what the other person said about boxing the paint, but it makes sense.
What I had in mind was pure white paint, or paint that is of the same brand and colour. At the paint exchange that I went to, the colours were dabbed on the lids, to give you an idea of what you were working with.
The lesson that I learned the hard way is that you need to look at the dab of paint in different lighting to see what it is. And for goodness sake, read the label for the colour. I thought that I did, but apparently not.
I wonder if that is because of the type of food that you have. I get the impression that some of our food seems to be the problem. Do you eat a lot of shreded meat? I suspect that shreded meat cakes on more than just vegetarian food.
We have those here in Canada, but the problem is that it is hard to remember exactly where to put the lever. For our home, for some reason, I have to fiddle around a bit.
Yes, I agree with you. I think that more things need to be done by foot pedal. You could open doors as well.
Another cool thing would be a faucet that allows you to adjust the temperature separately from the amount of the water. 1 knob would adjust the hot water. 1 would adjust the cold. The third would adjust the mixed water. It would be better to have a pedal instead of the third.
If anybody has information of how to create and sell these, then I'd love to know.
I want to add that he should get a high quality dishwasher, which should be characterized by a lot of features that gives him detailed control, as well as full automatiion, so that it fits almost all his needs.
I find that an ordinary dishwasher can do well with prewashing almost all dishes and pots. The only question is how much scrubbing needs to be done. I try to put everything in the dishwasher for the prewash, and then check it just before the end of the prewash. By then, most of the debris has been rinsed off. Anything that remains is easy to remove. The remainder of the prewash will remove the remainder of the debris, which leaves the wash cycle to focus on just the residues.
I find that most people like to srub and prewash by hand, before putting in the dishwasher, but this wastes time, because it is harder for people to prewash, than it is for the machine to do it. Leaving the dishwasher is not ideal, either, because it might need a lot of detergent, and the dishwasher can still leave debris.
Also, if you are buying new dishes, then try to buy ordinary dishes that can easily be replaced, but make sure that they fit well in the new dishwasher. Yes, go and put some in the demonstration model. The easier it is to load the dishes, then faster your chores will be.
Currently, I find our dishes to be very inconvenient to load, because of shape and depth. It's like fussing around with a jigsaw puzzle.
Big kitchen tools are great, but having the smallest kitchen tools that you can get away with, without being inconvenienced is good too. The smaller that your dishes and tools are, the easier it is for you to fit in the dishwasher, and the easier it is for your dishwasher to clean them.
Flatter and "squarer" are probably best for plates and bowl, within reason.
Light switches at every door makes it easy to turn off the lights when you go in the room through 1 door, and then exit through another door. Without that, you might be tempted to leave the lights on until later.
This is especially useful for in the garage, which might have a sidedoor. We use that door, instead of the front or back.
In some cases, it might be worth having 1 switch per bulb, per door, so that you only have to turn on 1 bulb, when you only need 1 bulb.
For Christmas lights, it would be nice to be able to switch it on and off inside. I think that many houses are like that now, but it's worth thinking about. For outdoor outlets, maybe put some on the eaves, so that water and snow won't get in very easily.
This is also true of Canadian train stations. At least it is true of Vancouver's train station. You clear in Vancouver, and then just ride past the border.
Some people were hoping to set up a station closer to the border, but officials didn't want to clear there too.

Ah, I see.

I have an off topic question. Why did you suggest that he reduce the length of time, as opposed to the amount of power?
Most people won't get it.

In both cases, it's extremely frustrating.

Porn? Rule 34? What??
What is the meaning of a communication disruption?
That was what I was thinking. We might as well force them to upgrade.
He doesn't eat open sores food. He only eats free food: free as in speech food; not free as in toe cheese food. I hope that clarifies everything.
Actually, scratch that. It seems that it is 3 miles. :^D
That 3 miles doesn't sound right. It would be more like 2.5 miles.
I have just a nitpick. In my city, 5 minutes will give you enough time to drive 5 km or 3 miles. That's quite a distance. I hope that they shorten the time frame.
Good point.

In some areas, you can get free paint, and presumabley primer.
