Faster than light nutrinos...Follow

I blame mice playing with the power cables. Their revenge on all scientists is imminent.

Means you can be a lab tech.

You misspelled Science! there.

Hey, Gbaji, photons still don't have mass.

Also, RDMcandle probably owes me $200.

Not enough outlets in the kitchen?

You can get your nutria to travel faster-than-light if you feed them enough Nutella.

Muscle memory. Growing up my mother encouraged the practice of unplugging appliances when they weren't in use. And by encourage, I mean a swing of a wooden ladle.

True, but I'm not entirely sure how many kitchen appliances actually use capacitors...

anything with a control board these days. Dishwashers, most stoves with digital oven controls, most refridgerators with ice makers, almost all microwaves, Bread makers, Some toasters.

Most of those you don't unplug regularly. I tend to unplug stuff that heats up, toaster and griddle.

I almost bought a bread-maker the other day. It was at the goodwill store. A black and decker that didn't look used at all. I picked it up, set it down, picked it up, set it down then bought a couple purty necklaces out of the half-price jewelry basket.

Anyone use a bread-maker - like regularly? Or does it just become another worthless appliance?

Edit to add - I have two power strips I shut off nightly - electronics and lamps on them mostly (phantom energy )

I use my bread maker occasionally. The newer ones do alot more than just make bread or dough, they have custard settings, etc. Mine just makes dough though. and bread. I do use it to make my dough for my ultimate cinimon roll recipie of doom though! (also works as a pizza crust)

Kaolian’s Ultimate Cinnamon Rolls of Doom!

Bread base
1/3 cup milk
1 cup cream cheese, diced
1/4 cup butter
1 egg
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups bread flour
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Filling
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
3 to 4 tablespoons cinnamon (use the good stuff)
1 cup raisens

Topping (stolen from Cinnabon)
2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Combine bread ingredients in bread machine set on “dough only” Roll resulting dough into large flat rectangle, roughly 1/3“ thick. Combine filling ingredients, spread on surface of dough, then roll up and cut into 2 inch sections. Place sections into buttered and floured 9 x 13 pan. Cover with a towel and let rise for 60 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees f for 23 minutes. Cover with topping while still warm from oven for best results.

I did when I lived with someone who owned one. It did the job, easier but less satisfying than kneading dough by hand. And a ***** to clean.

If we don't get no tolls, then we don't eat no rolls.
