Can someone explain? Seems kinda unsafe. Whats a microwave? Is it like a miniature nuclear reactor? How do the waves caress the food? Please explain

microwaves were reverse engineered from technology found at ufo wreckage sites, this is why we know alien food groups are based on pizza rolls and hot pockets

Marconi still makes high powered microwave line of sight radios.

I used to work on them.

They can kill birds if they fly near the feedhorn.

You can push an OC3 (155 mbps) across a microwave shot.

Microwave and laser LOS shots are a cost effective and secure way to pass data in a mountainous region.

My dad has gotten into pseudoscience bullshit and is now convinced microwaves change food at the molecular level into something that isn't food as far as the human body is concerned.

Dad's dumb.

Some Marconi radios respond well to "percussive troubleshooting".

The slot mounted modules wont always seat properly into the backplane.

Just give the front a whack to bring your shot back in.

Always keep your waveforms very clean and debris free. A dirty waveform could cause a fire.

Ensure that you coord new circuit actions with your AOR freq manager.

UHF LOS operations can cause problems for Satcom and [redacted] operations.

Do not utilize TropoScatter near UHF LOS operations.

As far as I know, Microwaves excite the water molecules in food which generates heat. I think of it like how titties excite penises.

Hope that helps OP.

You can heat water to boiling temperatures in the microwave without the fear of it exploding in your face by putting a stick in it, such as a chopstick.

How do you heat, or reheat burritos? In the oven like a chump?

Ovens are the cool and best way to do things.

Microwaves are for production kitchens and lazy people.

A microwave is a great way to reheat cooked food. I would not put anything baked or fried in it though.

cold burritos are pretty awesome so i just eat them cold. most left-overs at home I throw in the toaster oven and they taste nearly as good as the first time. Though we have a microwave at work which is where I mostly eat leftovers :ssh:


e: I was being sarcastic it's actually pretty dumb to be dont-own-a-tv smugperiority over it since they're pretty useful/v. quick and energy effecient--they just take up room which I don't have and usually make things taste kinda mediocre but still perfectly edible for a meal.

Cooked pasta is already moistened dude. Do you refrigerate your leftovers in open containers?
