Reply to My Levi's leather belt. 15 years and going strong. I wear it almost daily. by vainamoinens-scythe

Surprised you are getting so much out of it. Best belt i've had came from Walmart, it is primarily a Cordura fabric core and hints of leather on it. Have beat the hell out of it, zero maintenance and it's only starting to weaken a bit.

Compared to the other junk usually where the hardware snaps/fails first. Alas, they were canceled and no longer made. Should have stuffed my closet full of them while I could.

Some heavy duty digging turned up Tandy Leather had a contract with a company in Mexico? Making them many years ago now

Possibly. That’s honestly out of my wheelhouse. Looked up one and it uses 12.4 amps.

In theory there is efficiency at cutting the cooking time down, but that’s starting to get into my most hated subject: math.

Just go by the fact it cooks quicker and the hardest part is adjusting the cooking time. A 1200 watt inverter microwave is a hell of a lot more powerful then a “conventional” 1200 watt microwave, so it’s better to shave 1-2 minutes off it then adjust accordingly if it isn’t cold enough. A pot pie for example has a 7 minute cook time on it, but cooking it for 3:45 in the microwave I use gets it piping hot. 7 would probably be a boiling puck of carbon…

the only real change in microwave technology has been the Inverter. You can really cut the time off meals with them. Something that takes say 7 minutes you can shave 3-4 minutes off it in comparison to the older non inverter microwaves.

To the OP: look for a microwave radiation tester out there and ensure it isn't leaking anything out
