Decent. It took a while until it got difficult (400, on a touch-enabled smart phone), I imagine it would be harder with a mouse.
Maybe smaller items for three points such as toppings like pepperoni, but with inverse scoring for the occasional anchovy (-3 if you click/tap it, 0 or +3 (or +1) if you let it hit the ground).
(560 is where I miss as many as I tap and my score balances out - the tapping area is too small / moves to quickly to tap accurately.)
wide screen is definitely a difficulty enhancer. mouse might be better than a trackpad. i felt like i was clicking but not getting rewarded, but i've also been known to say this game cheats on pretty much every game i've ever played including solitaire

I don't understand why this isn't part of the normal flow for implementing Verify Your Email emails.
Someone used my firstname.lastname Gmail address on trip dot com a couple of days ago to book flights, and their Verify Your Email email actually had a Not My Email-type link in it... which apparently does nothing, as I shouldn't know that if you phone trip dot com about changing your flights, they send you an email with a Change Flight link.
I just got off a chat with their support, so hopefully my fat-fingered doppelganger doesn't miss their flights from Atlanta to Sydney tomorrow.
Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen an email verification flow that works in reverse, where the email owner sends the email instead. Seems it would be easy enough to say "Send an email from your indicated account with <pin> to <corporate email address>." I'm assuming the flow is different enough that it would lead to losing people who decide not to follow through but who would have continued with the 'normal' setup. It would also train users to send their MFA pins to others which would be a net negative for anyone using the normal verification process.
Are you sure they were confused people? More probable explanation is that they made typos while entering their email.
The alternative explanation, that they roitinely use [your name].[your last name]@gmail.com as their email, and don't realize that it never works is... unlikely IMO.
One of the emails had a phone number for the intended recipient, so I called. It was an old person who was definitely confused.
I can easily imagine there are a bunch of older people who do not have email addresses, yet just about everything requires an email address, even if it's not necessary for whatever service, so people have to either make up an address, or incorrectly remember what the address was that their children or grandchildren set up for them.
Either way, that doesn't excuse the companies that spam innocent people.
My wife has been receiving medical appointments, test results, event tickets, package tracking numbers and so on destined to a few old ladies for years.
I once tracked the sons and nephews of one and told them, and they apparently thought I was some kind of scammer and didn't return messages after a couple exchanges, so to this day she still receives all those.
If the email they were trying to reach was [firstname].[middle initial].[lastname] and they forgot the middle initial that would explain why it's showing up in your inbox.
I meant seen as in seen it named. Just because the seven segment display is there doesn’t mean it’s named that on the box, while in the past there might be more stuff with those displays and it would be a callout on the box design possibly.
I got ratioed here, for some reason, so I guess I didn’t communicate properly. Most people here are nerds who might know what this is called but the average person doesn’t.
I understand a grandma could have had a microwave. After all, I remember radar ranges with mechanical timers that were already relics when I was a child. But, now you've got me wondering what kind of VR/holographic microwaves kids are buying.
My latest bought a couple years ago still has a 7-segment vacuum fluorescent display. And a digital encoder knob and buttons rather than membrane controls. And a "cyclonic" inverter, which from the marketing diagrams, you would think can bend reality to your whims.
Those were the best. Dead simple to operate. That said I still have the Goldstar microwave I bought over 30 years ago, which has a keypad and digital timer.
One of my friends owns a normal-looking radar range kitchen oven. It can cooks with both the convection oven and the microwave at the same time. It is from the 1970s and has all mechanical dials. It has a metal rack inside and you can use any cookware, without a metal lid I guess.
I think maybe the original killer app for microwaves was baked potatoes? An hour to cook in a conventional oven. 5 minutes in a microwave. But maybe no one eats those anymore?
I haven't tried that, but my guess would be the same problem as most solids in a microwave - uneven heating / cold spots. That's why liquids and popcorn work so well, liquids mix themselves up and the unpopped kernels fall to the bottom of the bag.
I have one (800w) that takes about 5min to cook a potato (200gr), the manual suggests "once the potatoes are cooked, wrap them in tin foil for at least 5 minutes to cook through" but I just cook one wrapped with baking paper.
Technically popcorn is just warming up liquids as well. I'd say that's all it's good at, which happens to have a handful of usecases(some frozen meals, popcorn, melting cheese, heating leftovers).
That has to be some kind of fallacy. Just because something grew large, doesn't mean that it always does good things.
Along the lines of your comment: Apple sent private security that impersonated the police into a personal man's home, but Apple is so large, that means that was okay, right?
Stop making "disposable" stuff that should be durable and reusable.
Stop making appliances out of plastic that break in 5 years, or with cheap components that the average person doesn't know how or have the ability to fix necessitating a electronic board replacement that costs 90% of a brand new unit.
