Nearly as good?

Well, in terms of heating food - yeah. In terms of letting my wife drive on low pressure tires ? ? ? Hmmm. Let me get back to you on that one.

 

Running an empty microwave oven is extremely dangerous because it creates a portal to another galaxy.

Would you stop it with the portals thing? ... it's an Einstein-Rosen bridge, dude! or a a wormhole if you prefer...

 

Enjoy at my leisure with a blueberry muffin

Awe geez! Now you just HAD to bring "Blueberry Muffin's" into the mix. Now I gotta go to the store! Dang it!

Einstein-Rosen bridges are Science Fiction, Portals are real.

meh,
somebody is using the word "portal" in a very "creative" way.

What, these Flux_transfer_events via a 'portal' happen often. Do you really want one in the microwave next to the teabag?

Sure, why not? What's the worst that could happen? I guarantee the tea would still be there after the "portal" collapsed.

 

You colonials don't know how to make a proper cup of tea. Look what happened the last time you made tea in Boston - you used cold seawater.

Free tea, sure why not?

But OP is Mexican.

Yeah... we've never rioted over tea... but then there's tequila, on the other hand...

Colonials? Are you still in denial after all this time?

I am tempted to find a tea bag and see what happens but Kathy gets mad when I get around the microwave because a few bad things have happened. A few weeks ago I wanted a PB&J sandwich. The peanut butter was in the fridge. Well hard cold peanut butter rips the bread up so I decided to ever so gently nuke the peanut butter. Forgot about the foil band around the seal. The sparks were nice right till it burned through the lid. Little things like this make her dissuade me from touching the microwave.

Tell me about derailing a thread in so many directions in so few posts...

Way to much exposed to microwaves our regulars or just affected by last weekend libations? Monsters you said.

Myself a full week exposed to Patagonic solar radiation, perplex by what I read.

 

You are all doing it wrong.

 

My British bare boat sailing instructor in St. Lucia would make me a cup of tea each morning and make himself a cup of coffee.

 

80, 75, 115, bah humbug. I punch in 77, one less key to find and press. And. don't forget the loneliest key...

 

A small experiment with the microwave oven here at work:

• A cup of lukewarm coffee.
• A strip of paper with a full size staple (half inch width).
• Two presses for one minute full power on the oven.

Result: The coffee had an adequate temperature and the stamp was the same temperature as the air in the oven.

Was the staple in the coffee or was the staple open and exposed like the staple on the tag of a tea bag?

The paper strip was held under the cup, so the staple hung in the air - a little away from the cup..
