Friday Ephemera
Some things, alas, cannot be unseen. || A display of colour-matching skills. (h/t, Darleen) || Live cooking feed of note. || Today’s word is carefree. || All the fun of the fair. || Kitten fishing. || Infinity bike. || Your own fab, switched-on Radiophonic Workshop. (h/t, Things) || Fiddle with drum loops. || At last, the smell of old people. || 10, Hyde Park Place. || Doll’s house of note. || “I can do it.” || Do keep up because there will be a test. || How to impress the ladies, a possible series. || “I want something I can hold… something that has value.” || The machine uprising, day one. || Your new morning routine. || Nice save, madam. || Women, you say. (h/t, Julia) || Ladies at large. || And finally, a justified gasp.

Well, she’s in it – and she’s still a quite limited actress – but I haven’t yet found her too jarring or objectionable. So far, she’s been relegated to the ‘C’ storyline, though of course things may change.

We’ve got a 30 yr old microwave. Time, power level, done. When it dies, we may just do without. Popcorn function? Potato function?? PIZZA FUNCTION???? What sort of frelling pizza??? Deep dish? Vegetarian? The box is supposed to know this how?
Steps back from keyboard, breathes deeply…

I did find some of those extra functions very useful: Many of them used a vapor sensor which was very handy: The microwave could detect when the frozen vegetables had thawed and cooked long enough to be done; ditto a potato, ditto soup. Unfortunately the sensor failed after a year* and I’ve had to return to estimating the proper cooking times and power levels, which sometimes results in unwanted splatters.
* GE product quality has fallen shamefully in recent years. I wonder why. /sarcasm
