My favorite part of that story IIRC is that it only registered when people opened the microwave before the alarm went off.
I am more patient now to let the microwave complete after hearing about subtleties of the microwave emissions.
Me too, I now either wait for it to time out or hit the stop button before opening the door. It's completely irrational and I feel a bit silly for it since I don't live anywhere near a radio observatory, but I still do it.
WiFi users in your neighborhood are thankful.
My superpower used to be getting impatient and opening the microwave just as it showed zero seconds, but before the alarm went off. It made me wonder how it happened that they were programmed to make that possible.
