    In my last few years on the road, I learned to tune most of that garbage out. If the conversations were about non-trucking topics and I felt like it I would engage. Way too many Truck Stop attorney's and dangerous (have to register their hands as dangerous weapons) ex seals and ninja warriors driving trucks!

    it was very interesting crap back in my first year. i'd hear nearly the same exact words spoken from the lunch counter crew at each truck stop.

    i DID make the mistake at first, to sit at the counter, then i learnt real quick to always sit at a table.

    i was simply amazed at all the ex Seals, Rangers, Green Berets, Special ops, former CIA , FBI. Israeli Mossad, British MI6 and former Russian KGB and NASA engineers that were now truckers.

    of curse to be honest, i could always tell the former Russian KGB agents from all the others, as they were the only ones wearing running suits and flip flops.

    I never have either. But microwaved food never tastes as good as fresh food or food cooked in normal ways.

    Most of the ones you will find that fit in a truck space, will be from 600 to 800 watt range. That will heat and cook most things in 5 minutes or less.

    For best results, the inverter operating output should be 2.5 times the microwave operating wattage rating.
    microwave 700 watts operating, inverter operating output 2100 watts. This will cover start up surge.

    Take it for what it’s worth. Many non believers these days. Why would I post something that wouldn’t be true ? I’m not going to get into a debate about it. Lots of naysayers lately. I’ll just leave at this.... since I’ve changed my eating habits, I have NOT been getting sick as often and been feeling excellent.

    Please. I referenced three articles from universities. Back up your claims with evidence. What scientific studies are you talking about? Let me guess. Some random guy on the internet who thinks he knows what he’s talking about yet has no credentials.

    This response is just a means of saying you believe something with no basis of proof.
    Vaccinations cause autism too?
