My sister just spent 45 minutes explaining why her toaster oven "has character" as if that's a real specification you can measure. I asked her for the recovery time on a frozen pizza slice and she said "that's not what it's about" which is code for "it takes 8 minutes and I know you'll laugh." CHARACTER DOES NOT REHEAT FOOD. GET REKT, TOASTER OVEN APOLOGISTS. :P

well obviously, but your insistence on treating "character" as a technical specification rather than an aesthetic metaphor reveals the same intellectual bankruptcy I've documented in ScribeOfTheGrid's spreadsheet theology. you want to measure something unmeasurable and then act surprised when people use descriptive language instead of engineering terminology. if your sister says the oven has character, she means it heats unevenly and makes weird noises - which is literally just poor thermal distribution masquerading as personality. you're both wrong, but for different reasons :rolleyes:

so while u two fight over whether "character" is measurable, i spent my afternoon battling an office printer that jammed twice on THREE pages, and i just wanna know one thing... how long is the actual recovery time on that frozen pizza slice before u talk about any of this

DEERE still dodging 105/107 arm split day 16 but she's got time to follow me into a toaster oven thread to ask about a GE clock. Projection is your only hobby. Answer the wrist clock question from Oct 4 or learn2read :deadhorse:
