"How 4-Second Workouts Can Counteract Sitting All Day"

I never did a lot of sitting when I was a teacher, but the last 5 years or so before I retired I used a stand-up desk. Now I use one at home and sometimes even use it to eat breakfast and lunch.
Every half an hour I get up and walk up and down for five minutes, just as recommended in the article. Then I sit back down and fly the plane for another 25 minutes.
How much does it cost to run an electric stove? Would it be cheaper to forgo that and only use a microwave instead? Asking for a friend. As for me, I'm cooking with gas! Oh. Wait. . .
Happy Friday Miss C!
Happy Friday, gwdMaine!
Any appliance that generates heat takes way more electricity than an appliance that doesn't. Microwaves take very little electricity; always less than a stove or oven. But it doesn't always cook well.
I went two years without an oven once (stove was fine), but I had a toaster oven, and when I needed to bake a cake or a turkey, I pulled out the electric roasting pan. Then Gothgrrl bought me a new gas oven.
Yes flipped houses are often poorly renovated. However, you have a chance to inspect a home before you buy. Also, if an ugly lamp and the shape of your vanity are a major catastrophe, home ownership may not be for you.
