I’ve also used some really crappy gas stoves but none have struggled that hard.
You must not be going to the right crappy AirBnBs, I’ve had gas stoves struggle to stay lit, which is not just bad for boiling water, now you’ve got a gas leak in the house!

If you really want to
burn your house downflame your home wok, you can always get a handheld blow torch to do the finishing ignition. Could probably flame 1000 wok dishes for a single torch canister. - Comment on YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer 2 days ago:
Photons cause cancer so I guess I may as well do nothing at all.
- Comment on YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer 2 days ago:
Yes, and you can test it pretty easily by just seeing how much faster a pot of water boils on induction, on-par with the boiling times of commercial burners.
Also, in a commercial setting, induction stoves cook just as effectively with less energy which means they don’t put out nearly as much heat to the environment. For a chef, its the difference between working all day in 90-degree spaces to 70-degree AC. I’m an engineer who works on a lot of commercial kitchens (among other things), and our chefs love the electric kitchens we’ve delivered.
When you’re cooking for work, 8+ hours a day, being comfortable while you do it is a major game changer.
The other thing they enjoy is the level of control and consistency - many professional induction ranges will let you control on temperature, which means you can quickly adjust to specific values in order to, say, sear a steak at 500, then finish it at 300 until it hits the desired internal temperature.

You guys know you don’t have to follow businesses on social media, right‽ Like, it’s all just different flavors of their own advertisements, and you can just not interact.

OP has a poodle as well, which means either hair cuts at home or regular grooming. Many groomers keep dogs in crates between wash and cut, which is a lot easier on the dog if they consider crates safe.

Libby is able to sync with your kindle, and then you just choose “send to Kindle” on your phone when checking a book out and the book will appear in your Kindle library.

If you have a Kindle, this is 100% the best way to read books.

- Comment on China powers up the world's largest open-sea offshore solar farm 3 months ago:
Little bit of A, little bit of B.
In China there’s a lot of big coastal cities with very little open land for development. Putting small amounts of solar onto 1000 skyscrapers vs one big ocean plant, and the additional costs of ocean maintenance start to be less significant.
Similarly, in some places there may be opportunities to align the deployment of the panels with other systems, e.g., a kelp farm or ocean fish farm where you can collocate ocean structures.
There’s likely to be lots of new challenges faced by these structures, but it’s still good to work the kinks out now with some pilot projects
- Comment on In 4 years, US power grid increased battery storage to the equivalent of 20 nuclear reactors | The Optimist Daily 3 months ago:
Not trying to be a “nuclear shill”, but it is worth mentioning from the article you linked:
The 1.8 million solar panels are expected to generate up to 690 MW and they’re co-located with 380 MW of 4-hour battery energy storage (1,400 MWh).
The capacity factor of solar is something around 25%, so that 690 MW solar array (even with batteries) produces about as much energy as ~160 MW nuclear… So 7x faster, but the costs are closer than you suggest. Solar is still cheaper because the O&M costs are minimal, but pretending 690 MW solar + 380 MW battery is equivalent to 1 GW nuclear is a bit disingenuous.

- Comment on YSK that there's a better index than the BMI to measure obesity called the Body Roundness Index 4 months ago:
Height selection on metric side has jumps of up to 3 centimeters lmao.
Too lazy to look, but given 1 inch = 2.54 cm, my guess is the tool is written in inches, and just rounds those values to the nearest whole cm, thus alternating between 2 & 3 cm increments.

You do you, but I will say uBO can block all of those things, it just doesn’t do it all out of the box.
You have to subscribe to the right blocklists, or manually remove elements you don’t want from sites you visit frequently.
ABP offers you the convenience of not having to manually tinker with everything, which is what money is supposed to be used for - convenience.
- Comment on Honey 4 months ago:
The harm side comes in multiple forms:
Harm to the animals; by removing their nutrient dense food source, and feeding them sugar water in its place, impacting colony health
Harm to the ecosystem; by mass producing honey bees we are choking out other pollinators, and the selective breeding for honey bees prioritizes output and makes colonies more susceptible to disease and collapse.
Even if you feel like the bees we’re farming lead a good life, that life comes at a cost of other species - we are choosing a winner in the food web in a way that could be done less harmful for similar end result (i.e., plant sugars / syrups). Much of veganism is about harm reduction.
Knowing the importance of pollinators to our food supply, as a vegan I would probably not have much of an issue with pollinator farming if there goal was maintaining biodiversity, instead of min-maxing profit.

Sure, there are risks, but if there alternatives are pony up $100k for a new exosuit, or just don’t fucking walk again, I see why repair is an enticing option.
- Comment on Paralyzed Jockey Loses Ability to Walk After Manufacturer Refuses to Fix Battery For His $100,000 Exoskeleton 5 months ago:
I’ve started choosing the companies I use based much more on the experience offered when their product/service DOESN’T work, rather than when it does.
Easy to do for a cell phone or a toaster, but I can’t imagine there’s a ton of options for exosuits that correct your condition, covered by your insurance, that your doctor is familiar enough with to prescribe (for lack of a better term).
Some things are annoying to make abandonware, and some things should be criminal.

If these companies are marketing their AI as being able to provide “answers” to your questions they should be liable for any libel they produce.
If they market it as “come have our letter generator give you statistically associated collections of letters to your prompt” then I guess they’re in the clear.
