as much as i've heard warnings about microwaves superheating water none of the microwaves i've ever used fail to rotate / agitate the water

who doesn't have a water boiler anyway wtf

ok nvm i never watched the mythbusters episode i guess rotation isnt enough agitation

who microwaves distilled water wtf

they used distilled water to increase the chance of sucess, not because it can't happen with tap water. It's just less likely.

i just watched the video they said it doesn't happen with tap water

i guess if there's a particularly pure municipal supply or something

I dunno the specifics tbh. Maybe filtered water is enough. But I'm pretty sure that one is not a urban legend and people have gotten burned by exploding regular water on a microwave.

doesnt it go to the supreme court or something like that

Federal Court has jurisdiction international cases. But I think Teddy would likely need to file his case in this Germany and bring it against Tuna. And just because its possible doesn't mean it will do anything. You need to get the US to care enough to enforce the order.

i would wager, however, that coffee has never been served at 200 celcius ever in the history of mankind

nobody has ever done that. nobody has ever done that in the history of mankind

if the water and vessel are sufficiently free of nucleation sites probably

if you do it though explode the water by dropping something in with chopsticks or tongs or something, don't remove the water before it's exploded be safe use protection

well it could be you are having the heat up to 200C, doesnt mean the coffee itself reach 200C (obviously you pour it out before you vaporize all lol or just lower the heat); it is actually quite common to get burnt coffee when you get badly roasted coffee beans which is a different matter.

technically if you pressurized a container and poured coffee in its perfectly possible to serve 200C coffee to people
actually you'd also get around the whole spilling thing too

So today was the first time I logged into my iTunes account in 3 years. I wanted to test Apple Music. Plus 3 months of free streaming doesn't sound that bad. I then installed iTunes on my PC. Clicked on "90-Day Trial". Turns out the iTunes version you need for it to work on PC is not released yet. Rofl

I also found out what horrible music I had bought in like 2008-2010. What the fuck
