    The microwaves will heat your water more evenly than a kettle.

    Liquids have this amazing property, that if you heat them , they auto-stir just by themselves.

    (But personally, I’m uneasy about microwaving a tea bag with paper on one end, or worse, a staple. There’s probably no problem at all, but it doesn’t feel that way.)









    • There used to be dozens of theaters in a city, each one with a different set of contracts playing a different set of movies. Nowadays there are hundreds of movies in a city, all of them with the same set of contracts playing the same 5 movies.

    • Yes, everything is too expensive, what means nobody can afford to take a risk. Not the public, not the theaters, not the studios. (You can see people on this thread commenting that they won’t.)

    • There are what? 3 movie studios nowadays? Or are those 2? Either way, you can’t expect diversity from that.

    What the OP said means literally that if mass murdering people is legal, people will inevitably murder whoever makes the law and helps on that mass murdering. (What is not a universal law, but as sociology predictions go, is quite reliable.)

    It’s not a hard concept to understand. Also, it has a very distant relation to morality or legality.
