You have never used a microwave oven to heat water ?
It's very nearly the perfect solution.
Were you being sarcastic? Because using a microwave to boil water is pretty much the worst solution. 1. It's slow. Typical domestic microwave is 1kW. 2. You have to watch it -- no automatic shutoff when the water boils. 3. In addition, in the UK, it's very slow. A 1kW microwave doesn't compare to a 3kW electric kettle.
Are you sure about that? Current in the earth line typically indicates a failure and some appliances require a neutral because the earth pin is not connected.
In California, it is very clear which CC credits will transfer to UCs and CSUs.
True, but...
The students know this information upfront.
This isn't true, or it wasn't true.
The UC system kept changing the requirements for transfer and so people often found that another year at CC was required to transfer.
Nevertheless, I still recommend anyone in CA to take the CC + transfer route. Even though it may take longer, it's likely to leave the student with much lower debts. So much lower that the extra year doesn't really cost anything over the long term.
the result being now a college degree is pretty much a requirement for any job (whether it requires it or not), and students with no serious prospect of decent income are saddled with ridiculous debt.
The reason a degree is a requirement for any job is because the economy has been tilted so much in favor of the ultra-wealthy in recent decades.
Any rational person making hiring decisions is going to hire the best people who will accept the pay on offer. Because job prospects are still poor (unemployment is higher than the statistics suggest), potential employees in everyday jobs have no bargaining power.
This works, but be prepared to spend more than 2 years at CC. The UC schools keep changing their requirements to transfer in, so it is very difficult to achieve the requirements in 2 years.
Yeah, this was a "customer support mistake" in the same way that Wells Fargo got caught out time and time again for things such as opening accounts for people who never asked for them.
This issue was escalated within Verizon. It beggars belief to think that somewhere along the line someone didn't think to apply the existing "policy".
Verizon's mistake was that they let it get to the point that they were called out on it. It was a PR mistake by Verizon, not a mistake in applying the "policy".
The thing about California power demand is that it is typically higher when the sun is shining. In other words, supply and demand tend towards a natural balance.
Yes, some storage will be necessary, in combination with things like hydro power, which provides on-demand green energy.
I self-host everything. I have a VM churning away on vultr.com
It's getting more difficult to self-host these days. Many email services appear to be hostile to email that doesn't come from a massive email provider.
No one is going to blacklist email from Gmail, but blacklisting a single VM that puts out a few hundred emails per month: they will do that in a heartbeat.
It's also easy to get caught up in a blacklist on your network IP range because someone else sent something that a recipient thought was spam.
Many more people have email addresses that are not @Yahoo.com, but are run by the former Yahoo (Oath). Entire ISPs outsourced their email infrastructure to Yahoo.

Or this one. 45 Seconds.
Your 90 seconds in the microwave isn't looking so good now, is it?
How about 55 seconds?
So your claim is that boiling water with a 1kW (input power) microwave is faster than a 3kW electric kettle. LOL.
You do realize that you don't have to fill an electric kettle to use it, right?

Also, in the UK, you can get electric kettles that work far faster than any equivalent in the USA.
13A@220V delivers a lot more power than 15A@110V
What changed was not what courses were transferable, but what credits were required to transfer into the junior year of a UC school.
Once is a typo. Every time, what's that?
True, but ...
This isn't true, or it wasn't true.

To be fair, most artwork ("collage") has a poor or negative ROI.

Unless I misunderstand something, what those numbers tell me is that the sample size os too small to provide meaningful data.
The other day, the wife and I were watching a foreign language TV program. No dubbing, just subtitles. I think it was Swedish.
Suddenly, Google Assistant on the wife's phone started. I have no idea what it heard that triggered it, but it wasn't English.
Surely Google should know we speak English exclusively? So what's the point?
Google has to prove Trump is lying? The person most famous for lying? The person who has made over 4000 false or misleading statements in office?
No, the onus is on the person who has a reputation of being a liar to prove the truth of his claims.
This is more of an American thing than a religious thing. Europeans mostly think Americans are terrible prudes.
No, you didn't save me a click, because I knew this already.
It would have been more informative had you listed more names with the same problem. England has lots of them.
The Feds cannot do that:

Most gold that is mined is not used. It's just stored.
What resources are used to mine the ~80% of gold which is not used?
What does this mean?
It uses 5GW? Or it uses 5GWh per day?
Searching for illegal and/or dangerous objects, yes. Searching someone's private data? I don't think so.
