  @cgWerks@podcastindex.social if your discussion is in good faith then I’ll try somehow to find a humble way to recommend segregating B*tc*** discussion if only for the spam consequences alone, if not the goodwill factor. There’s too much risk that a bad faith discussion will derail any motivation about electrification in general. There’s a broader discussion about AI and data centers and high energy compute being moved into high solar zones — since they’re internet based already — and just following the sun thru 24-hour cycles. Solar is the ONLY opportunity to increase humanity’s power consumption by 100x in our lifetimes, and before 2020 we knew this but didn’t have any urgent ideas about why we’d need it. But this isn’t the forum. We’re here to discuss home electrification and outage prevention. I’ll give a +1 to induction. Cooking with magnets is amazing, if only so you can smell your own cooking. It’s faster than “cooking with gas” and has a level of discrete power settings that would make a master chef blush. That “dinner” smell we’ve all grown up with, turns out to be methane (or that methane additive for safety). We should probably stop treating our living spaces like high school science labs that are missing a fume cupboard. In case the thought of replacing your cookware scares you, just focus on how much easier the cleaning is with a single flat surface. All induction cookware works with gas anyway, so treat yo’self to a new cookware when it’s on sale — just bring a little magnet to confirm it’s compatible. If you’re in Marco Mode™ and just want the best, I can heartily the Esteele range that has silicon rims on all the lids. It’s been years since I’ve heard a pot or pan lid smash into anything, and I don’t miss THAT noise one bit 😅
