I have no turnstile in my microwave. Superheating is still a rarity. But then I do use common sense.

And without a turntable, depending where you place the cup, the hot spot could be anywhere.

Common sense like this does NOT belong on the internet.

I think the root of this and many others in other society is a failure to understand and accept features of human nature. It is our tendency to lie to ourselves in certain situations. One needs to learn to distrust yourself in some ways. To be on the lookout for where you might be inclined to avoid looking at or accepting the truth. To do that your also need to realize that your tendency to do that doesn't make you a horrible person, it's just human nature.

Boston baked beans. To my taste, good ones are cooked low and slow so that the beans almost start melting together, and they should be both sweet and tangy.

Unless you are willing to tell your boss to fuck off and go find another job, I don't think it's in your interest to tell him that. Someone with the mindset to tell you to study on your own time isn't going to take it very well.

Either say fuck the certification and promotions and don't study, or just study on work time surreptitiously, or suck it up and study on your own time to get the certifications to make yourself more valuable to get a job somewhere else where they don't have that sort of mindset.

One should do good because seeing good done to world, or to others, is itself a source of satisfaction. If it is not, then I don't know what anyone can tell you.

Sure using your rye starter for white or whole wheat shouldn't be a problem. In theory, the microbe mix in a given starter might be optimized for what it's been fed on, but in practice I don't think it usually makes a huge difference.

In effect though, you'll be making your wheat loaf with a certain percentage of rye flour. Personally, I wouldn't consider this a bad thing because I think a small percentage of rye improves the flavor of wheat loaves.

However you can also adapt your rye starter into a wheat starter, by doing a refresh build from it using wheat flour. You can do a few rounds of such refreshes if you think it needs it to reach full vigor on wheat. This of course requires more time and planning ahead.

It depends what you like, tailor it to spices you enjoy. I like some carroway and juniper berries in a german style one.

I also really like ginger, garlic, and chillies for something a little kimchi inspired, (kimchi technique is rather different, but I just adapt the flavors to kraut).

Timbre has a very specific meaning, neither mood nor vibe. It is the sound quality, like a flute sound vs a sax sound.

Fun fact: it's pronounced 'tamber'.
