OHMOTHERFUCK, I am going to lose my shit! Time for a walk to CTFD.

There are musical guests during this event. Today is a dj cunt. This is a virtual event. He's at his turntables, on a mic announcing some whatever shit, in what looks like his home, alone. Wearing a mask.

Just a suggestion:
Whomever invented the microwave should really consider making one that lets you warm stuff up in aluminum foil without catching on fire.

It's more than possible no one else will find it funny, but there's a running joke in my family the only thing a microwave is good for it melting butter.
You see, my grandmother was always one to get the latest gadget, especially if it was something for the kitchen. So, when microwaves first became common, she got one immediately. The thing is, she wouldn't use it for anything other than melting butter, but for some reason the melting butter thing was a big deal to her. I don't know why. It isn't as though melting butter is any labor intensive undertaking, and yet, while she refused to use it for anything else, she'd wax poetic about how it melted butter. :noidea:

I don't like the foldables I've seen. They don't snap shut, so that eliminates me angrily hanging up on someone and they are just weird. Maybe in a few years, but right now, not a fan.

I've not been high on the foldable tech either because the screens have almost no scratch resistance.......but I usually get a phone every year and didn't this past year because they didn't make a "big screen" version. So I can, of course, totally see myself overcompensating and getting a yuge one lulz

That's cute! Personally, I don't really even like them or use them frequently. I like going old school and warming shit up in the oven. Feels healthier and usually tastes better. But I had this bit of leftovers that was stored in one of those paper bags with the aluminum foil liner and on the outside, in big red letters, it's screaming at me, "DO NOT PUT IN MICROWAVE", so I had to get out a plate, and they are all in the dishwasher, which reminded me that i had to empty it. Therefore, metal should be allowed in microwaves.

I don't even use mine for melting butter. The only thing I use mine for is the timer on it.
It's some hybrid microwave/convection oven, but I've never used it as a convection over, either.

I'm just not an early adopter for expensive new tech.

It just depends on how bad I want something if I am or not. Folding tech is about 3 years old now though so it's not super new in cell phone years. Hopefully they'll get the price down a little for this gen. If google really wanted to they could subsidize some of it and get the price down low enough try to reel people in and really push for their hardware to get more mainstream. There's a real opening in that market to have a semi-affordable foldable available to the lay person.

I use it to soften butter in a pinch. Cold stick, 15 seconds with the wrapper fold pointing up.

That and the timer. That's all I use it for.

My wife uses it to melt butter for popcorn and it generally ends up making a goddamned mess.

BWAH

My grandma was the opposite. Her kids finally bought her a microwave some time in the mid 80's, but she never used it. It was convenient when us grandkids came over and wanted to heat up a snack, but I don't think he ever used it herself.

My mother uses her dishwasher to store shit, and looks down on those who use them.:rolleyes2:

I certainly don't use mine to store shit, but I went so long without a dishwasher, even though I have one in this house, I usually forget to use it.
Until I bought this house, the last time I lived some place with a dishwasher was when I was a teenager and still living at my mama's house.
I'll go for months not using it, then for some reason it will occur to me, "wait, you have a dishwasher ... why the hell are you washing all these dishes by hand." I use it a couple of times, then forget about it again for months. I find it particularly strange, because it isn't as though the dishwasher isn't right there ... it's not hiding, or anything.
