Lately I've been noticing that when the microwave cycles on half-power

turning on the kitchen light makes the other room lights flicker.

I suspect a short, but since nothing ever trips a circuit breaker, it
doesn't seem to be anything I can definitely put my finger on to test
or repair. Does anybody have any suggestions for tracking down this
problem?

There are several possible problems. A number of them could be very
dangerous (generally fire danger).

If the home about 40 - 60 years old it may have aluminum wire and the
whole wiring system should be considered suspect.

A floating neutral, poor connection. undersized wiring and others are
possible.

Be safe, have it professionally checked if you are not sure what all
that means.
