DocG | 3 years ago | on: What a gas stove ban means for restaurants
I miss gas stove over the induction because:
1. I have visual indicatation on how hot it is. The numbers is just not so good indicator.
2. I miss trashing pans around, specially when managin multiple things at once. Glass induction would not be able to withstand it. So suddenly I have to be gentle with machinery.
3. God forbid I spill something in the middle of cooking on induction. Suddenly I have to try to cleanup a hot glass and manage the whole mess. Gas, because it was raised, cleanup could be done later once food prep was over.
4. I'f there is powerloss (hi wars and other stuff) I don't really care. I used to run propane tanks 11kg, no pipes, refilled once-twice a year.

Info was legit, but mainly I liked how well it was written :)

Just a though - if I need ads to remind me to buy something with the next salary, maybe I don't need it enough and it's ADHD talking not me. If I need it enough I will come to the same conclusion later independently. At least that's the way at how I try to control my impulsiveness with online shopping.

2. If no one is around stat with super low dose first time. And grow from there over months if you are scared. You'll understand after low dose what's coming and thank yourself later.
2. You can not have any and I mean any plans for that day. Not even I'll have to take the trash out in the evening, seriously. Turn the phone to airplane so no one can call and block messages. You do not want anything that requires functioning human from you. You could do that but it will ruin your time.
4. Outside - no matter how cozy your home is do it in your country house or somewhere where you are alone and feel safe, have a fallback house or place but still in nature. Dunno, rent something.

No messengers/YouTubes or anything unrelated open in any screens constantly. Phone behind monitor or somewhere away where I can't see it.

Maybe it's nothing to do with dying but more to be mentally stable if you don't die?

YT premium still doesn't give all the Vance's features. I can buy premium and still use Vanced for features that YouTube does not offer.
Or maybe I don't support YouTube adding ads to unmonetized videos? Or is it my way to fight back, how they roll over small creators to trolls?

Smart play, rather end on a high note, without months and months of C&Do letters and axety and stress. Learn and move on.

But even some countries at certain brackets have the only income tax part over 50%.
So flat 50% of total tax burden would not be unheard of.

No fuzz with running extra big wires for stove.

Also, what I read is that the main D fference comes out from people who have multiple underlying conditions.
I would like to read comparison data about non-vaccinated, vaccinated with two doses, vaccinated with three doses. The three dose is impressive compared to two doses when not comparing to non vaccinated.

Much faster to pop the SD card than to connect via USB to transfer files. Much more convenient not at desk.

Stolen pictures were not forwarded, so they even got the leaked data back.
Dunno, not a big deal.
Only thing was he was downloading pictures en masse. Names and ID codes got from elsewhere beforehand. ID code is not a secret here either, you can reconstruct it with high accuracy just by knowing persons birthday and city he lives.
Tho I think this triggered a fast lane for upgrading some legacy stuff that was to be updated soon. So good scare I think.

To give perspective, I do weekly. I work often files that I need to modify or create files that have no native apps with UI. Key files, certs, etc.
Also, its way easier when working to just create file in already open dir than go open a program and try to navigate to the dir you already are. Eg local web development, I'm 10 dir deep somewhere obscure place.
I'm on windows.

But my main sadness is I can't leave food on the cooktop to cleanup later. Imagine water boils over, suddenly I have to start cleaning cooktop in the middle of cooking. Gas might be extinguished but I can restart and deal with it later once I'm finished cooking.
