      yeah gas stoves are sketchy but if it’s installed properly you should never have an issue. I prefer induction, fuck coil stoves. i have a electric coil stove and i fucking hate it.

        coil stoves are okay provided they have glass tops, i have a coil stove with fucking cast iron plates on it which are IMPOSSIBLE to clean and they stay hot for ages after i’m done cooking…

        still perfectly fine to cook with, though. it’s just that anything else is even better.

          i thought coil stoves with glass on top were induction stoves? i have the coil stove with the coil exposed. its a peice of shit but i have no choice since i live in a apartment.

            no, you can tell whether it’s an induction stove if it doesn’t get hot, induction stoves heat up the pot by vibrating the magnetic metal atoms in it.

            regular coil stoves are resistive, that’s why transparent-topped ones glow, the coil is literally glowing hot like an old light bulb.

    Ever since I learned that pretty much all utilities are publicly-traded stocks on the stock market as for-profit companies that wealthy mfs talk about “diversifying their portfolio” with “in the energy sector” I’ve been so disturbed.

    The idea that utilities are for-profit is just so f***ed up and deranged.
