A more illustrious and successful career than most humans will manage.

Honorary Eternal Stationmaster

You just can't compete ๐Ÿ˜…

Not another genre, but you should definitely check out Savlonic if you have not already.

Here's the opener from their latest.

How nice it is to find your people hahaha.

I swear if I had more time I would Kickstarter this.

While I feel strongly about the subject, I'm not yet ready to turn it into a masochistic kink.

I'll let you know if I do though โค

Turntable is fine, never had trouble with ours.

It's handy if you can place what you're heating offset from the centre. Moves around more in the unit and prevents hotspots/coldspots.

Must be a proper chunky dial that actually controls the circuit then.

I like that, but would also accept 'cook by wire' where the dial sets a time digitally. Cost would go up though...

The model shown is a cheap big store variant. I imagine the design is rebranded 6 ways to Sunday depending on who's buying.

Ours screams on completion. Even when you stop/open the door, it will 'sing' the whole song....

For a dial, Ding is assumed :)

Monetizing is what ruins other places.

I like the way my home instance does financial backing through an open model, and that's part of why I chose it.

An ideal is enough contributors to keep the lights on and to reimburse the admins for their time spent in keeping it afloat. Moderation should always be a volunteer position for those that want to support their individual communities.

Any excesses in finance I would hope go towards future running costs (to a point), feature development and then charitable donations in that order. Non-profit on paper and in practice.

This is viable for a small instance. Maybe even larger ones if the users are altruistic enough as a whole.

Feels almost obligatory to post this

Might be the area.

Our current is only 700W and rarely will you find instructions that go that low. It's old and cheap. Most things assume 800-900 and don't list anything higher.

1000W seems to be the turnover point here. Can still get a domestic at that range, but they are a little rarer. Also pricier and often part of a combi grill/convection unit.

Most I've seen are the 1000W, 1200W+ monsters with triple digit prices - even 2nd hand.

Just need a regular home microwave (ours was ยฃ30 with the useless features), but dumber ๐Ÿ˜…

I'd modify our own existing one but the jank would not be safe nor attractive...

 

Every time, without fail. This one is a gilet and she's a nester. Very much enjoying burying herself through the holes.
