Had to get a new microwave

Tried cleaning it with The Pink Stuff. Got to use water to get the Pink Stuff out. Used two sponges, one for the Pink Stuff, and paper towels. Just paper towels might work to get it out, but if you get a paper towel completely wet, it won’t be lasting very long.

If I didn’t leave it on while cleaning it, and let it dry for a week, maybe it would still work.

Also, no idea how the Pink Stuff is that great. Dawn probably would work just as good or better. I cleaned the glass thing with dawn, and that was fine.

Not the outlet, tested that earlier. Plugged new microwave in, and it turns on. Will probably use it tomorrow.

The brand is Maytag, not that it matters. Never heard of them, but mom has. But the brand doesn’t even matter, the other one was a Hamilton Beach and lasted a long time. Also, how many people make microwaves or the tech inside microwaves?

I’m pretty sure the panels in TVs are only made by some people. Funny, a cheapo no name TV, is better then a cheap brand name TV. Just look at consumer reports. That’s why I bought this cheapo no name monitor. Still works, and looks better then my cheapo Vizio TV. Should have bought a cheaper TV then the Vizio. But I bought that who knows when. I know, I won’t buy a name brand TV or monitor. Vizio may or may not be a “brand name” TV, depends who you ask. Seems more of a brand name TV, then some cheapo brands. But at this point, a cheapo TCL or Hisense is probably better. Just look at that site with reviews on TVs.

Now if you want HDR, you apparently have to spend a lot of money. And some people don’t like HDR, probably cause of the cheap TV. If you want HDR, go with OLED or something.

I need a new stomach more then HDR. Too bad I can’t get one.

Target didn’t have that many microwaves. The Black+Decker ones didn’t even say the wattage. This one is 1000 watts, so about the same as old one. I looked in the Target app to see if my in store order shows on there, it does, clicked the microwave I bought, and shows a Black+Decker, and it’s only 700 watts.

I had a low wattage microwave before, and it’s kind of annoying. Got to add lots of time to everything. Not even sure how much time this will need added or not. But TV dinners, are usually based on over 1,000 watts.

Could have spent $10 more and got 1100 watts. But I think saving $10 is better.

Panasonic might be a Japanese brand, but if the microwave isn’t made in Japan, there’s no point in spending that much on one. Spent over $100 anyways, got some other stuff I needed as well.

She might be right, that you can’t buy some stuff in town anymore. Well, I might not be replacing any broken stuff then.

Can still buy food in town. Once nobody can, I’ll be screwed anyways.

Well, figured out where shit is downloading in my browser on my phone. Most likely in the work profile. Downloading it again in my main profile. Not many file browsers support the Storage thing, so the app I use for rclone, I have to also use a specific app. Don’t know if that app can access the work profile files though. Don’t want to use the default Google File Manager.

Well, not buying crap you don’t need is nice. Then you can break your microwave and buy a new one. I’ve had that thing so long, it doesn’t matter.

Apparently I needed to buy more water filters. Just used the last one. Like having those on hand. Not sure Target has them though.

But the PUR water filters, might be the cheapest ones. And if you break your wrist, you can get a faucet one. Still use the faucet one, way better. As long as it tastes mostly like nothing, it’s good enough for me. I have ZeroWater filters, and the pitcher is in the fridge with water in it. Should see if somebody I know wants it. I’m not going to use it.

And I wonder if you can 3D print the PUR faucet filter, and then just buy the other things you need. But what kind of plastic would you need? It’s going to get wet, and a lot. In fact, when you change the filter, it has water in it.

Maybe an all metal faucet filter would be better. Well, maybe not the filters themselves. The thing you put the filter in. I’d only want one, if PUR makes one. ZeroWater might cost more, and you have to check the water, and then you have to replace that thing too, when it dies. Or just change the filter when the water tastes funny. This PUR one has a light on it.

Should see if they have a metal one, and if I can use the same filters. Well, if you know how, wouldn’t be hard to make a metal one yourself.

Also, these filters might be smaller then ZeroWater ones, and last longer. Might even be able to use it for even longer, after the light changes colors. Tastes a little off, but not like ZeroWater. ZeroWater intentionally did something, so you’d replace the filter sooner. PUR may have as well, but the taste doesn’t appear to be that strong, or I haven’t waited long enough.

Hard to wait as long, if it has a light. Couldn’t tell right away when that happened, so didn’t look at the light right away. Noticed it was slightly off, then looked at light.
