Well, the microwavable soups I've been taking to work actually tend to start at a pretty good tempature. They need a minute or two to cool down but then they're fine. I have more trouble with the soups I heat in a sauce pan because the amount of heating I give those is normally pretty arbitrary.

And I do tend to get bored with the kinfe fairly quickly. It depends on the soup.

Also, why the hell can't Thunderbird properly use the reply function that's in comment emails sent by LJ. This problem has been around for years. I wouldn't think it's all that hard to fix. I wonder which end the problem is on.
