*Without being mean*, what would you think if you found out your boyfriend didn't know you don't cook raw meat by putting it in the microwave?

He thought he could put raw bacon in a microwave and cook it. He said, "You can cook bacon in a microwave! I have plenty times before." I told him that was precooked bacon. He realized I was right when he looked it up.


I wasn't ugly or anything, but it did concern me. He's 43 years old and doesn't know you cannot cook raw meat in a microwave. It makes me wonder if he'll ever be serious with a woman who isn't a huge cook. I remember back when he initially asked me if I could cook. Now it makes more sense why he seemed to care more than previous boyfriends.

Update: This looks disgusting and is not how bacon is supposed to taste or look! Lol... not in the southern part of the USA for sure.

Hmmmm...ok.

Can you normalize a Gaussian by hand?

@SomeMichGuy I don't think I was clear about the point of my question.


The average person, [i]especially[/i] someone from the south, doesn't cook raw meat in a microwave. As he found out, it didn't work. My concern was that he tried to use a microwave in the first place... he really never cooks [b]anything[/b] for himself. He would completely depend on a woman to cook.
@perceptivei If you are your age and don't know how to normalize a Gaussian, I have serious doubts about your mathematical ability.

@SomeMichGuy What??? 🤣
@perceptivei Well, you are laughing at a guy who is trying to use non-skillet modes of cooking bacon at his age.

I am asking if *you* know how to derive by hand the normalization of a Gaussian, at your age...? If you can't, I really have serious doubts about mathematical abilities.
