Bizarre? This is totally in line with his personality.

I very much doubt he’d hand out money, there’d have to be a deal with him somehow. That’s why he’s surrounded by sycophants, that nose has got to be the brownest of browns to get something from him if you can’t offer money!

The access to the gargantuan amount of money the great orange turd is amassing perhaps? She won’t have to wait decades to weedle into his will and cash in.

Sounds like a power surge as the microwave doesn’t stop correctly. Either my home’s have always had better breakers or the microwaves I’ve had are designed so it doesn’t create a power surge if you open the door as an off switch (in the UK btw). Never had anything happen in over 20 years of doing this, but a fair warning to give :)

As torture method? Don’t follow you! Are you thinking along the lines of iron age -> bronze age step up? If so what’s the link of maiden to bull?

Edit - I thought I’d double check my understanding of the use of maiden in the name and found this, ahem, interesting article, including mention of the Greek Brazen Bull, which I now recall. So I understand you now!

I tried to think of an Iron Maiden one, but as a worse way to be tortured to death. Maybe Iron Acid Bath?!

I totally do this. Mine is set to just over 4min at the moment (manual dial). Door ajar to stay off until I use it next,which could be weeks away.

It’s completely normal as far as I’m concerned ;) But I do adjust to a round minute if I really want to stick close to the instructed time.
