I use an electric kettle but remember that in the US outlets are 120V, so they take a lot longer to heat water than in countries with 240.
So the microwave isn’t much less efficient than the electric kettle, mainly because some of the energy is heating the mug/container. The least efficient is a stovetop kettle on an electric stove.
But I’m curious, why are Europeans so horrified by the idea of heating water in the microwave? Is it related to power consumption, or is there some other reason?
They’re proud to do it.
Call it the 'Murca! Party and you’ll get the entire maga contingent.
“Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people,” he said.
Yes, because Musk is the first person that comes to mind whenever “actually cares about the people” is mentioned. 🤮
Isn’t that the time most people would think of testing it on themselves?
Yeah I use the hottest running water and also scrub it with soap to get as much as possible off.
I’ve also used a hair dryer to heat the bites up but you have to be careful not to hold it too close to the skin and burn yourself. I’m very reactive to bug bites and I seem to get a million bites within seconds of going outside.
I’m one of those who gave my bread maker away. The problem was when I was making bread with it, it was so good I’d quickly eat it all up and kept gaining weight, so I stopped using it.
I’ve tried (electrical tape) that but found it is gummy and leaves a sticky mess.
Ooh, good idea! I hate all those lights.
+1 for the Aeropress!
I’m an old lady but I also happen to use linux! You don’t have to be a tech neckbeard for that, just dislike Windows.
Murkowski’s reluctant “yes” vote underlines the fractures within the GOP over the bill’s $3.3 trillion price tag and its sweeping policy changes.
No, no it does not. What it underlines is the sure and certain collaboration and capitulation of the GOP to whatever the hell trump wants, guaranteed. Any whining and complaining about the harm the bill will do is strictly performative, nothing but the clapping flippers of barking seals that will ultimately do exactly what they’ve been told.
When your muscles feel tight or tense, or a bit achy, you’ll automatically feel like stretching them.
Dairy, but not eggs. Sufferers can still eat chicken and fish.
I wonder if the tick bomb babies are less likely to transmit anything because they probably haven’t fed on anything yet? I would think they’d have to feed on a mammal to get the compound into their saliva.
The syndrome is not caused by a pathogen but spurs an allergy to a sugar molecule found in mammals and an array of other things, from toothpaste to medical equipment.
Lone star ticks are aggressive and can speedily follow a human target if they detect them. “They will hunt you, they are like a cross between a lentil and a velociraptor,” said Sharon Pitcairn Forsyth, a conservationist who lives in the Washington DC area.
A particular horror is the prospect of brushing up against vegetation containing a massed ball of juvenile lone star ticks, know as a “tick bomb”, that can deliver thousands of tick bites. “They are so tiny you can’t see them but you have to take it seriously or you’ll never get them off you,” said Forsyth, who now carries around a lint roller to remove such clusters.

Oh, now I see! You don’t understand that a microwave can boil water, you think it can only warm it up a little. Thank you for clearing up my confusion.
Whenever I hear Europeans accuse Americans of being arrogant, I can only laugh. Feeling superior about something like how you boil water is hilarious.
