Just read some interviews from astronauts, they reported that they can smell on like the iss for example and that it had a particular ozone smell to it. There is something about body fluids lessening the sense of smell, but according to the astronauts, not so much.

Not exactly how microwaves work.

Microwaves excite molecules, especially things that are the same size as the wavelength (1mm-1m depending on the frequency), i would guess that the plate being bigger than the food and full of impurities, it's molecules absorb more waves/energy.

Or it's just that that person's microwave has a lot of standing waves at the very bottom of the pedestal.

A fun thing to look into: Electrobooms microwave standing wave video and the one where they create plasma in grapes (grapes that are the same diameter as the wavelength)

Interesting. I'm from Germany btw and I love learning new things. I just didn't like they way learning was done in schools. This kind of short term learning was never a thing for me and I took tests asy well tests, to see how much stuff i understood from just paying attention in class and asking questions. (I was always a Why-type. I couldn't memorize Pi until I looked up why it was this exact number and what it stood for in a more practical sense).

Today I am working in IT as a consultant for multinational companies and manage around 100 people. I wanted to do more tech stuff, but, as i was told, i was put in operations and co trolling because I understood the project better than the tech guys in shorter time.... I miss repetitive Tasks tho. Just let me edit 200 users in bulk....

If there was a ChatGPT in my time, i would have used it too for homework.

But it didn't, so i never did homework.
Still graduated with a B overall, homework is just such an overrated with.

Even when banning ChatGPT for exams, this doesn't fix the really bad system of short term learning for tests and exams that students learn to do in order to keep the pace up with the current school systems.

The education system has way bigger concerns than students using ChatGPT for their homework (homework itself is completely useless)

For me it's Speedrun through it. Feel guilty that you only played for 12h and not made any optional quests and such

Single threadded applications nowadays are so dumb. People, we live in a time where there are consumer "workstation" CPUs that have 128 threads! Only utilizing 1 is really dumb.
