So the susceptor layer in a microwave popcorn bag reflects microwave energy instead of converting it to heat now? Interesting how things always work differently in DeRusha’s world…

It is also why you don’t put metal objects in the microwave. Nothing is “converted” into heat–the microwaves heat water molecules.

I have a question/concern. I received a letter from Minnesota Revenue telling me I owe over $1000 in taxes and if I do not pay by March 20th they intend to levy my wages. I called the number and left the information they requested (including social security number – which I didn’t feel very comfortable doing) and they called me back the next day saying the letter was sent out prematurely and it was a mistake. My taxes are not due until April 15th. I think it might be a scam, and I’m afraid now that they have my information. Or, perhaps the State is trying to scare up some free money? The letter came after I e-filed my taxes but don’t intend to send the money in until next month. The amount they were asking me for was about $45 more than what I actually owe. The woman at the State acted like I was the only one who has called, and she said hopefully there weren’t any other letters sent out prematurely. It all seems very fish. Can you help? Can anyone help clear this up? Is the State so broke they’re trying to scare up extra money?

I have a question, Why is the trail for the iditrod different in odd and even years?
Also why the mileage was different in the beginng and now?

Why is “Taps” played at funerals with only one instrument?

Why isn’t the entire Nation Anthem sung at the beginning of a sporting event? There are four verses.
