This implies you are too stupid or incompetent to simply set the correct time on the microwave. It's not really that hard to figure out how much time to set and it literally takes 1-2 presses to set any time between 30 seconds and 6 minutes. Many also have a speed dial setting to pre-program particular time/power settings 2 presses to actuate eg memory -> number.

You can set it to 99.99 and close and open it and you will get hot food in the same fashion as you could get drunk by pouring jim beam up your ass. You do you I guess. Excuse me whilst I make a proper cocktail like a fuckin adult human being with a functioning brain.

Microwaves cook very quickly unlike you know normal ovens and don't within the scope of normal cooking time output much air to carry the smell to allow you to decide when they are done. By the time you smell it you have nuked it way way too long.

Also most microwaves make it extremely easy to put things in for small increments for instance hitting 1 - 6 on mine's keypad and nothing else immediately starts it for 1 - 6 minutes and also has a dedicated 30 seconds button. So it is incredibly easy to set it for a known small length of time allowing you to do other things whilst it cooks rather than standing by the fuckin door waiting to stop it. If you forget you may either ruin your food, destroy your microwave, or start a fire.

There are basically massive downsides to what you are suggesting and no upsides. It is just so unfathomably stupid that were this post to be associated with your real identity it is the only thing the entire world would associate with your name.

Luigi Mangione’s state murder trial postponed indefinitely amid double jeopardy fight

It would be fairly awful given the circumstances. We have a history of faulty and overzealous prosecutions especially against black and poor people. For any given offense there are essentially 3 sorts of sentences. The sentence they will threaten you with in hopes of getting you to plea even if innocent say something absurd like 20 years, the "deal" you may be given which could be 3 months and the punishment for making them actually go to trial which may be 3 years.

Theoretically everyone is entitled to representation but you may not qualify for free help unless you are desperately poor and the quality of the free help may be so bad its worse than nothing. It's normal for unsuccessful prosecution to cost anything from thousands to hundreds of thousands depending on complexity of case. Ultimately virtually all cases are settled with a plea including cases which are so weak its hit or miss if they would have secured a conviction or sometimes cases so weak there was no chance of conviction but scared people accept it. Especially if its a case in which they get no actual time in jail they just agree to pay the government continually for years and go to jail if they ever get in trouble. Hell some people plea because the alternative is spending months in jail although innocent because they cannot afford to pay to get out but they get out immediately with a plea but agree to get robbed by the government for years.

In fact there is a sort of plea you can enter where you don't admit you did anything wrong but agree to go to jail anyway.

So if you understand just how fucked up our system is imagine if they can just keep going after going all the way to trial and definitively losing.

It's hilarious that our pres talks about shithole countries whilst presiding over one.
