Look at this nerd setting the power level. Just cook it on full blast like everyone else. Just let whatever it is sit and the lava parts will warm up the frozen parts eventually.
There’s a range in there where lower numbers can be longer times than higher ones. For instance, 111 is less time than 99, since it gets interpreted as 1:11, or 71.
It’s as entered on a microwave. Any one with digital time entry I’ve seen have 2 digits as seconds and then the most significant ones beyond 2 become minutes.
Glad to find a like-minded individual here. I generally do either 33 for that half minute heat, 55 for when it doesn’t quite need a minute, and 88, because after a buck thirty I should be stirring (if applicable).
We had an old microwave that had the button. It failed. I went and brought a new one home, and much to my wife’s chagrin, as is in my nature, I failed to notice the lack of 30s button.
Interesting. My microwave does exactly that and I use it all the time. It also has “more” and “less” buttons to fine adjust the time by increments of 10 seconds, meaning I never have to enter a number or hit “start” most of the time.
See, that’s the thing. I still can’t tell if you’re talking about several buttons, or if you’re talking about buttons located in parking lots. You’re saving a miniscule amount of time at best.
And products that “remove” it replace it with glucose-fructose, or sometimes even pure fructose, which hilariously shows both that companies don’t give a fuck, AND consumers are really stupid on average.
If I were to write a programme where it would be typical to choose between units of measurement, which I’m not, the drop down menu would have a choice of “SI units” and “fuck no, you don’t get to choose!”
Edit: I looked it up, it’s a British thing. I’m not a native speaker, I’ve never seen it written like that. It looks French, I thought you guys hated the French.
Almost half of all English words are borrowed from French, dating from when England was colonized and culturally subjugated by the Norman French starting in 1066.
Better is subjective. If one measured the merits of the language on its rich cultural history, then British (as usual) wins. However, if it’s measured by accessibility for simpletons then the US (as usual) wins.
Are you suggesting that US English isn’t derived from British English? Or are you specifically talking about the history over the last couple hundred years? The US isn’t that old, and also has a rich cultural history…
Maybe an example of how Britain’s rich cultural history has better shaped the language is in order.
For most people the imperial system is better. Fahrenheit puts 0-100 in relation to how humans feel heat, 0 is very cold, 100 is very hot, neither will kill you if you take minor precautions. Feet are the same, most everyday objects are spread across 0-10 feet long/tall. Using celsius and meters requires using a scale between -18 and 38, and a scale between 0 and 3.3. Both are clearly inferior number ranges to use when we arent required to.
