Just had a panic attack when I realized I'd put a sandwich in the toaster iron 15 minutes ago and then forgotten about it

@0xabad1dea do you have a smoke detector?

[0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange]

@me yes but I've burned sandwiches beyond edibility without it going off before.

[me@mastodon.cysioland.pl]

@0xabad1dea ah, fortunately mine is very oversensitive to the slightest plume of smoke (and if I spill isopropyl alcohol then I get a bonus concerto from my natural gas detector)

@0xabad1dea There's a great time travel story in there somewhere.

@0xabad1dea Sadly, the top wealthiest abusers, don't forget so easily, in how to squeeze from the bottom up.

@0xabad1dea Reality as it happens.

@0xabad1dea had that with the Bialetti coffee cooker on the stove ...

@0xabad1dea Schrodinger's Sandwich!

@0xabad1dea

I feel it.

I've plugged the toaster into a zigbee controlled outlet that will auto switch off after 120seconds of high power use.

@0xabad1dea This flow chart does not include that kind of outcome. Someone care to fix it?

[cstross@wandering.shop]

@0xabad1dea I used to do that too! Solution was to take a book to the kitchen and read until my nostrils reminded me why I was there.

@0xabad1dea you're lucky unlucky

[jpetazzo@hachyderm.io]

@cstross @0xabad1dea instructions unclear - heard the toaster pop and regurgitate a book, can't remember why there is a bookmark between two slices of bread

@0xabad1dea Sounds like a self-limitation rule I used to have: if I was drunk enough to accidentally spill some of my drink, I didn't need another.

(I say used to because these days biology provides the self-limitation and I've gotten a lot better at not spilling drinks)
