RE: https://infosec.exchange/@catsalad/116761451345714633 I once worked at a youth hostel where there was a sign in the kitchen saying "Do not let Timmy dry his socks in the microwave." One night the very Timmy talked me into ignoring it. Reader, his socks caught fire.

@starchy@infosec.exchange Microwaving socks is like microwaving popcorn: they're done when it stops popping.

@starchy@infosec.exchange @catsalad@infosec.exchange A few years back, someone posted this picture they took in a hostel somewhere in Europe. I have no idea who the original poster was. #Hostel

@starchy@infosec.exchange This sign was on the wall of a Youth Hostel in Todos Santos, Baja Mexico. Bruno was the child of the managers of the hostel. When I first saw your comment, I had to check the name, hoping it was the same hostel.

@starchy@infosec.exchange I love that Timmy still managed to talk you into it. That, more than anything, explains the sign for me.

@starchy@infosec.exchange how did you let him talk you into it? Did you have to buy a new microwave?
