How else am I to know that the 2 minutes 30 seconds are up, and my meal-for-one is now merely one stirring and a further minute of idle standing from being consumable without that awkward icy-cold bit..?

So I just have to hook up a microwave emitter to my brain, and then I can mind control people? Handy.

Not really. You can send intelligible messages, but mind control is not possible.
Using microwaves to communicate in this manner is potentially dangerous for the receiver if you don't carefully control the microwave energy and exposure time, and it is an invasion of privacy on a fundamental level. Do not do it.

Well, mind control is possible, but right now it would mean hardwiring an electrode to most of your brains neurons. But that wouldn't be mind control insomuch as it would be having a meat-puppet.

I missed it, but I hope the flying dong made it back in two pieces.

Mind control is easy. You just point a gun at someone and tell them to do something.

I don't see it in your sig, though.

I'm hearing lots of reasons to try it

• Microwaves
• Potentially dangerous
• MKUltra level shit
• Invading people's brains with inception foghorns
• Bringing humanity to the next level of hivemind evolution

I prefer the emperor's original plans of making everyone into superhuman jerks that scream BRUVA and ocasionaly hide in METAL BAWKSES

Except for the no sex part, that part sucks.

EDIT: Speaking of, looking at TBF's 'words to live by' thing, one similar one I remember: If you ever feel powerless, remember that a single one of your pubic hairs is enough to shut down a restaurant.

Yet I find that if you use your whole hair todger, you are the one thrown out and charged for your trouble.  Must be a homeopathic effect...

Anyway, apparently it's now officially Summer, as of an hour ago, and the days are now getting shorter.  Unless, where younare, it has turned to winter and the days now lengthen.  Unless that's nonsense, and your seasons more tend towards Monsoon and Dry.  Or unless you are sufficiently circumpolar and the concept of day-length is still some way off being a moot point for some while yet. And you non-terrestrials can work out your own relationships with the ecliptic...

I, for one, support our new lumi-acoustic overlords.
