Fuck that. The ACA was arguably the best thing to happen in Obama's tenure, even after it was completely sabotaged by the GOP. It's probably what he'll be remembered for (other than his skin color). And liberals have taken the name back, just like Dark Brandon.

Ignoring the joke, that's exactly how Yellowstone was fixed. We killed all the wolves, and then massive populations of elk and deer ate fucking everything. Forests died because no seedlings survived. Once we reintroduced the wolves, they kept the herds' numbers lower and the woodlands came back.

TL;DR: Wolves

It's not about how long it takes, what matters is constant, even heat. Electric coil stoves turn on and off to regulate heat so you get crazy fluctuations.

Gas doesn't have that problem. Good induction stoves don't, either, but they're still hella expensive. And you need the right pots and pans or you will have a bad time.

There's a reason basically every restaurant in the world uses gas cooktops.

Yeah, they can, but they don't. Every electric stove I've ever used has had long pauses between cycles. My current (heh) electric stove can barely boil water and getting constant heat for like a custard or hollandaise is literally impossible. And it's not an old POS, it's a newish Samsung glass top.

I literally boil water in a 120v kettle faster than my stove. A gas stove boils faster than both.

But obviously induction wins. Something like 95% efficiency plus temp control. I just wish they didn't whine like a CRT TV.

Legally blind woman left anxious and in tears after rideshare drivers refuse to pick her up 23 times in six weeks

Not true. Service animals can be denied if they pose an immediate threat to human health or safety. An allergy could certainly be a threat to health, and a driver having an allergic reaction is definitely a threat to safety.

Also, the federal law only applies to public accommodations, I don't think "ride-shares" would count as that. An Uber driver doesn't stop and pick up the first person they see, they have a private agreement with a specific person.

Oh yeah, you're probably right. If you couldn't tell, it's definitely because they're the same. I'll go back to the dozens of kitchens I've worked in and tell them they should switch to electric.

I'm a professional chef, bud. I've cooked more meals than you will ever eat. I have tens of thousands of hours behind all manner of cooking appliances.

Induction > Gas >>>> Coil

There's no question. And since my electricity is generated mostly by fossil fuels anyway, there's literally no reason to spend $$$ for induction range+pans.
