IDK, the original article is sort of in this Schrödinger zone. On the one hand, yes, it’s harassing and you shouldn’t make dickhead jokes where the principle of the joke is basically “lol they’re women.” On the other hand, people can do funny things sometimes and be dickheads, it’s part of living in a free society. Definitely trying to crack down on it and tell them they can’t is just going to spark this universal human impulse to say “Okay I hit paydirt here let’s double down because now it’s really funny if it happens again.”

I suspect that, just like Columbia University and CBS, some Hollywood movie studio is going to decide to try to make Trump happy by feeding him the kind of self-congratulatory bullcrap he loves to hear, and they’re going to make a full-on big ticket studio movie about some kind of barely-veiled (if that) MAGA hero busting heads to fuck up the evil Democrats. Basically along the lines of “My Home Village,” absolutely equally shameless.

It sounds nuts from today’s POV, but I think it’s better than 50% that at least one is going to get made before all of this is over.

Maybe like 20 minutes at 325F?

This 1,000% will not work (assuming it’s a cutlet / thighs or something). This is not enough for even a defrosted chicken breast.

There are ways you can do it, other people have commented some approaches (basically, cut it up, if you want it to work). But (a) it’s unsafe without a meat thermometer (b) it will probably be a failure unless you’re pretty skilled. Definitely don’t just throw it in at 325, the most likely outcome is that you’ll have to leave it way longer than 20 minutes, and then give up once it’s getting dried and awful around the outside, and have to take it out anyway and slice it up and fry it or something, because the inside is still raw.

Absolutely don’t bake frozen chicken

You can defrost it in the microwave, they usually have a “defrost” setting with some different options which may take 5-10 minutes. It’s a little less optimal than waiting, but it’s fine. Definitely don’t bake it frozen.

Wrong domain. The 4chan equivalent of Loss is the first letters of all the sentences spelling something when read top-to-bottom.

I mean it makes perfect sense. From her perspective, I would just pull it out of my pocket and start gently rubbing it carefully with my finger, or prodding softly at it. She just thought it was weird. Why are you doing that? Okay, your device’s principles are strange.

She actually never got completely used to “buttons” as she called it, any kind of machine that you had to use a separate control setup for other than just the direct valves or levers involved. Turning the steering wheel makes sense, turning the knobs on the stove makes sense. Any time she put something in the toaster oven, though, with its multiple modes and controls, she would just savagely twist or push any knob she could find until the thing started making heat, and then when she was done, she would remove the object and leave the door open to let the thing gradually figure out things out on its own and shut off. “Life is short, man, don’t bother me with your goddamn buttons, I don’t care.”

Read about Kitty Hawk in the newspaper at 16 years old, in 1903. Watch men walking on the moon on your TV, at 82 years old.

Fuckin’ unreal. Hang out with people who lived through the 20th century, if you ever can, though they are reduced in number now. The perspective they have on things is hard to match. I knew a woman who grew up with black servants in the house who couldn’t vote, then marched with MLK, then watched Obama get elected president. And that’s everything. Every single aspect of human life, basically, except for a few of the very basics. She was always sort of surprised and amused that I had a “phone” that was a smooth black rectangle that I would control by “stroking” (as she called it) this smooth black surface.

I watched her meet a new person of her generation. First question: Was your husband in the war? Answer was yes. Second question: Did he live? He’s not trying to give offense, he just wants to know your situation. He was in the infantry…

I feel like this is bait for one specific answer… okay, fine, I’ll be the one.

MLK Jr, Anne Frank, and Yasser Arafat were all born in the same year (1929). They were all born after Tom Lehrer, who died yesterday, 97 years old.

Edit: Math is hard

I once knew a person whose cat, when she was on the toilet, would come in and climb into her pants and chill there, like “Yep we besties, I’m glad I can hang out with you during this pooping time.”

She didn’t hate it, but she definitely didn’t love it either.

I used to have a really smart hamster. But something… happened… to him.

Oh, it’s for the baby. Okay, got it, carry on then.

He took the humans out of one side of modern war. Obviously. So now it’s 50% done, now we just need to take away the villagers he was bombing, and there’ll be no more death and destruction anymore. That’s a huge progress.

The thinking was that, because he had negotiated an end the Vietnam War which he had been busily escalating for several years, he and the lead Vietnamese negotiator both deserved to share the prize. The war hadn’t ended, or anything, they’d just signed an agreement (which both sides more or less ignored.)

Every single person at the time thought it was the stupidest thing they’d ever heard. Even the New York Times could see that something was amiss; with their usual bold commitment to justice even when it contradicts the whims of American empire, they declared that it was “at the very least, premature.” Le Duc Tho, the Vietnamese man who he was meant to share the prize with, angrily declined his half of the prize. Kissinger almost declined the prize… not because even he could see that is was an absurd joke, but because he was offended that they were going to give it to Le Duc Tho also. You know… peace-man logic.

When Kissinger entered the conference room, nobody spoke to him. Sensing the hostile mood, Kissinger speaking in French said: “It was not my fault about the bombing”. Before Kissinger could say any more, Thọ exploded in rage, saying in French: “Under the pretext of interrupted negotiations, you resumed the bombing of North Vietnam, just at the moment when I reached home. You have ‘greeted’ my arrival in a very courteous manner! Your action, I can say, is flagrant and gross! You and no one else strained the honor of the United States”. Thọ shouted at Kissinger for over an hour, and despite Kissinger’s requests not to speak so loudly because the reporters outside the room could hear what he was saying, he did not relent. Thọ concluded: “For more than ten years, America has used violence to beat down the Vietnamese people-napalm, B-52s. But you don’t draw any lessons from your failures. You continue the same policy. Ngu xuẩn! Ngu xuẩn! Ngu xuẩn!” When Kissinger asked what ngu xuẩn meant in Vietnamese, the translator refused to translate, as ngu xuẩn (in Chữ Nôm: 愚蠢) roughly means that a person is grossly stupid.[43]

When Kissinger was finally able to speak, he argued that it was Thọ, who by being unreasonable, had forced Nixon to order the Christmas bombings, a claim that led Thọ to snap in fury.

They weren’t great friends. Of course, in the end, Kissinger decided that he owed it to himself to collect his prize, although he didn’t come in person because he probably would have been protested (and maybe arrested, I don’t remember the timeline.)

Microwaves penetrate a certain distance into the material and then turn into heat. Heat conduction from the outside doesn’t. I don’t know exactly what the average of that distance is and how it compares to the size of a hamster, but I would bet that it’s pretty competitive with the thickness of the hamster.

Your whole argument here makes no sense at all. Having the ambient temperature set to the perfect defrosting value would work better than heating the skin of the frozen meat in cycles of full on / full off, if the microwaves were getting stopped right at the skin and then the heat had to conduct in from there.

Platypus already linked to a paper which references it: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1363505/pdf/jphysiol01379-0153.pdf

Which brings us to just one of those bizarre US things, “artificial flavor” versus “natural flavor” is totally arbitrary and random. It’s based on which molecule, not what the source is, so you can have “natural flavors” that came from a massive stainless steel tank and will kill you if you touch them in pure form without the proper protective gear, or “artificial flavors” that come from squeezing beaver ass glands.

Edit: Every word of this post is wrong. Literally every one. I think I read a book decades ago that told me this, maybe I remembered it wrong, but anyway according to the internet of today it’s different and I’m a big dummy.

HOW IS THAT BETTER

Modern ones do have hotspots and cold spots because of resonance and design tradeoffs, but I don’t think that was a problem for the hamster application. IDK, maybe they were structured a little more small and special-purpose, but regardless it was just penetrating radiation basically all throughout the hamster which is better than heating it from the outside in and having the heat having to conduct its way through the frozen tissue.

Basically the same reason you can defrost meat in the microwave, but you can’t throw it in the oven to defrost more quickly without also cooking the edges.

The first microwave ovens created were being used to gently re-warm frozen live hamsters, because when they tried to reheat the hamsters with conventional cooking methods, they heated unevenly and burned at the edges, which isn’t good for the hamsters.
