A back door to the microwave would also enable
hilarious pranks like stealing someone’s lunch
while they’re heating it up. On the downside, how
will the microwave know how to orient the handle
of a mug on the turntable if it doesn’t know which
door will be opened? |

Its very interesting how many different words there are for the fixed waist level horizontal surfaces in a kitchen. Bench, Worktop, Counter, Counter-top, Side. Any others here? |
|
| |
Kitchen design uses a lot of geography terms. There's "kitchen
island", "peninsula bench"... OK that's all I've got. Carry on! |
|
| |
//As ripe for confusion as “first floor” and “ground floor.”// |
|
| |
That often fooled me in my first few years in Australia. I'd see
an office was on the 3rd floor so I'd think "Don't be a lazy ass
and just walk up the stairs instead of waiting for the elevator."
Then, to my horror, I'd find myself walking up FOUR sets of
stairs. |
|
| |
Four sets of stairs would take you to fourth floor: zero-based
arrays here, because our home is girt by C. |
|
| |
Maybe the stairs started in the basement. |
|
| |
Also depends on whether a 'set' of stairs takes you an
integer number of floors in height, and on whether the
floor numbers themselves are integers... |

//how will the microwave know how to orient the handle of a mug on the turntable if it doesn’t know which door will be opened?// |
|
| |
Presumably there will be an interlock so that as one of the handles is pulled, the turntable rotates so that the mug handle points towards the door which that handle operates. |

Clueless. You know you miss a day or two and suddenly
everyone is talking mush. Clueless. |
|
| |
//mug handle points towards the door// |
|
| |
Or just warm up two mugs of coffee; ex hypothesi the kitchen is
busy, so someone is bound to want the other one. |
|
| |
Two handled mugs. (4 handles even) |
|
| |
[pertinax], why, am I supposed to be? |
|
| |
If we exposed that we supposed so, then would we be
imposing, and would you be opposed to that? |
|
| |
Clueless. You know you miss a day or two and suddenly

|
| |
I'm not sure what this game is, but I think you won. I'm off to
bed, so I can talk more mush in the morning. |
|
| |
I was quite proud of that mush. |
|
| |
Mush ado about nothing. (New HB Slogan?) |

I've been foggy lately. Please forgive me if I put the blame on
any of you for my not understanding, or being too lazy to
Google. Isn't ridiculous to see that as actually a bother, or that
it seems to be a massive task to look something up? |
|
| |
Foggy is fine. Unless you're a weather forecast. But otherwise
it's fine. |
|
| |
I'm not sure looking things up on Google would be much help with understanding obscure ideas on the Halfbakery. It might even make things worse. |
|
| |
//It might even make things worse//
Yeah, I've been there (not from an hb idea, however...).
1: I read/see something I don't get
2: Google
3: Now I'm even more confused! |
