Fortunately, my conventional stovetop is one of the good guys…

This is bordering on crazy conspiracy theory. She seems so batshit insane and incompetent because she’s really uber competent and executing a particularly clever plan to seem incompetent and insane to distract from the great tRump’s absurdity? Occam’s razor… She may actually be incompetent and unfit for the job.

Sadly I think it wasn’t an issue of not paying attention so much as it was “I really don’t care because I secretly harbor a fear/hatred of those people.”

My problem with the idea is 'why bother having a surveillence microwave… when everyone wears a lo-jack tracker that also happens to surf the web, snapchat, facebook, and make phone calls?

Gross! You know how hard it is to clean an exploded spy from the inside of your microwave?

But there are far easier ways of doing this … like hacking that old Samsung phone of his.

Why, do you think that would make it leak more information?
I think it’s impossible to tell if anyone from Trump’s entourage is competent or not. I mean, I don’t care if you lie like Loki or if your rhetorical skills are that of Winston Churchill in his prime: What the hell do you say to the public to make the latest Trumpism seem anything close to sensible? They are all doing as well as it is possible to do given the circumstances, i.e. terribly.

I have difficulty believing anything she says, however the topic of surveillance via analysis of microwave radio emissions has been a reality for a few years. I don’t see the general topic of surveillance techniques being germaine.
Radio telescopes could be considered “microwave cameras.” Maybe that’s what she was thinking of.

One theory is that he was formerly the most skilled detective on the Metro City police force, which made him the prime candidate for cyborgization. But the otherwise-successful bionic surgeries damaged his brain while installing the neural interfaces to his gadgets. At that point he represented a substantial investment in both money and MCPD’s reputation, so they couldn’t scrap him without losing face. Fortunately his erstwhile genius ran in the family so Chief Quimby had Penny’s parents killed in an “accident” so Gadget would have to adopt her, secretly making her his handler.
I just made all that up, but it works!

I like it, with one addition:
They had backed up Gadget’s mind for the duration of the procedure, but the upload back to his own brain failed. Brain patterns are an enormous amount of data, so they couldn’t store it indefinitely in magnetic storage; they needed to transfer it to an cybernetic/organic brain. However, the only candidates were the animals they were using to test the cybernetics.
The original, brilliant Gadget’s mind got uploaded to all of them, but only one survived: the dog.
Now, Gadget is trapped in the body of a cybernetic canine, without proper vocal cords and forced to watch his former body mess everything up and try to fix those disasters.
