The "Quick Min" button on my microwave

[CHNOPS]

...still requires me to hit "start." That means it really only saves a click for the first two minutes: min-start and min-min-start. Three minutes requires four clicks--the same as punching in 3-0-0-start. Four minutes requires FIVE clicks--MORE than 4-0-0-start. And so on into greater and greater obsolescence.

When I am President of Several Important Things, fixing the problems of industrial design will be my Number Three priority.

I am saving my Number 1 and Number 2 priorities for something plumbing related, because of the catchy pun.

Know how the schematics in owners manuals are always really fuzzy and impossible to read because of the copying process? Yeah, fix that.
Also, that warning on appliances that there are "no user serviceable parts inside" is totally a matter of opinion and needs to go.

Our microwave does not require the start button being pushed for quick minutes 1-6 as well as the :30 quick button, which is the start button. Maybe our microwave is too cheap? Pretty sure it was less than $100. We don't use it a whole lot.

I'm on it. And another thing: why not just populate the time on the microwave starting from left to right, starting in the 1st minute position, instead of from right to left starting in the 2nd seconds position? Then you wouldn't need a quick-min setting, just hit 4-start or 7-start or whatever. For less than a minute, start with 0 (obviously).

I just want to be able to say "Computer, I'll take my dinner on the Astrogation Deck" and have it show up piping hot.

That's actually a pretty good idea.

This is why you need to vote for me for President of Several Important Things.

Is a quick minute shorter than a regular minute?

 

[semen4her]

That's engineers for you.

They are text book smart but not real world practical smart.

 

[neci]

i want it to work well and have the basic buttons. none of that fancy shit. i hate that fancy shit. give me my simple buttons at least in the kitchen. and a fucking maid. where is my fucking maid?

 

[Liar]

One knob for time. One knob for wattage. One button for start. Everything else is hogwash.

 

[garbage can]

Is a quick minute shorter than a regular minute?

Yes, from my studies, a quick minute is about 10 seconds shy of a real minute.

Has this been your life's work thus far?

Indeed, It's all part of the space time continuum.

I'm looking forward to the brochure.

I shall now discuss the dials on the oven.

There are two of them for each oven. One sets the temperature, from 200 up to 'Broil,' and one sets the kind of cooking you're doing, 'Bake' or 'Broil.' There may be one more option, but I can't remember it right now because I've never used it and also sometimes I drink too much.

If you choose 'Broil,' you also have to turn the temperature gauge up to 'Broil' for it to work, and vice vespa.

When I am elected President of Several Important Things, there will be one dial, the temperature dial. Every temperature below 'Broil' makes it bake. When you turn it all the way up to broil, guess what?

It broils.

Thank you, and God Breast America.

How many ovens do you have?

Little one on top, big one on the bottom. Like your chins.

Stop being a scrote

Stop being a scrote

You might as well tell the sun to stop growing, the grass to stop looking so nice in sundresses, or breasts to stop shining.

 

[JohnnySavage]

I boobs.

"Min" is the diminutive form of the name of a young woman I'm related to. This thread is somewhat disturbing.
