I replaced my damaged 48-year-old Sharp #microwave oven with a #Panasonic. The old oven used a 15 W incandescent bulb mounted on the top of the stainless steel cavity to provide bright interior light. The new one has a dark coating with a tiny white LED at the front-right side making it almost impossible to see what’s inside.

The controls have white text on a light gray background. My wife struggles to read it with her ageing eyes. I created an overlay of bold black print on a white background.

The results are in, with 18 votes. I kind of like bsky but not seeing a critical mass of people in my areas of interest.

If you answered other, please feel free to explain.

In honor of this landslide vote, here's a photo of my latest tinkering: making pipecap filters for an 11 GHz RF multiplier (using the W1GHZ board & design). I'll use brass M3 tuning screws once some arrive from McMaster-Carr, although I'd be interested to see if they are very different to stainless steel. And yes, I had to order them online after not finding any metric brass fasteners locally. Why not use SAE screws? Standard metric screws have much higher TPI, even more than fine-thread SAE. This will provide better mechanical stability & finer tuning, but then again, I'm not building a spaceship here, so 🤷

My microwave is now fifteen years old. It’s the first thing I use in the morning to defrost my bread, and the last thing I use in the evening to warm up my herbal tea.
For fifteen years, faithful, never letting me down. I’ve cooked and reheated everything in it, tried all sorts of experiments. But it’s there every day, ready to help.

When it finally breaks, it will feel like losing an old friend. For now, it keeps serving me with efficiency and loyalty.
Tonight, I’m feeling sentimental.

My mother is back from the #hospital, doctors don't want her to be home alone for a bit. So I'm here at her house as my brother is working today. I've cleaned the #kitchen & put away her #XMas decorations (pew, no goblins).

I mean, that #microwave was yucky, my spouse thinks I have a dirty oven. My brother lives here.

Plus the TV is on all day! I guess it undeafens awkward silences.

New #Video "Strategy For Preparing Rice In The Microwave Oven And A Single Piece Of Kitchenware" I am starting to think about my next operation. I have begun thinking in very practical terms how to make my life easier to live and enjoyable during the recovery. In this video I want to share with you the strategy I find is working to cook rice in a single bowl and then use it to warm up a meal. I am finding ... youtu.be/foJq1Iwp5bo?si=T0ORDg #microwave #disability #singlebowl

Eating some instant grits + nooch and realizing we don't appreciate microwaves enough. Warm food? That is cooked by a robot? Instantly? This is such a futuristic luxury. It's like something from a science fiction story. It inspires an animistic impulse in me... thanks for making my dinner, little robot buddy...
