You can manage it well enough on a coil, though! The process is a bit different, but it's far from impossible, still makes plenty good food.

Quick check shows "The suggested circuit breaker size for the kitchen stove is 50 amps, 220 volts. This is a double breaker. Single breakers normally carry 110 volts." Whatever that means in conversational english. Ranges lower and higher, but around there.

I... can't think of anything I've tried to cook that an electric stove didn't get hot enough to manage, though. Maybe if you're trying to melt down metals or something, I'unno. It does take a little longer to get up to higher temps, but "a little longer" is, like... under a minute or whatever. It doesn't appreciably effect prep time.

Ngl, in my experience the difference between gas and electric for cooking is, like... wildly overstated. I've cooked plenty with both, ate plenty of food cooked with both. It's maybe a bit better, sometimes, but most of the time for most dishes and most cooks there's just not actually a noticeable difference, and even when there is one it's not really that much of one. Electric stovetop cooks just about everything just fine, generally with less trouble and less likelihood of some kind of major screwup. It's not like they somehow make bad food just by dint of not having quite so finely controlled heating. They're still good cooking elements.

Part of me thinks the actual trick going on is the gas one takes more attention, more fiddly efforts; the folks cooking on it get more invested, have to pay more attention, so they feel like it's better just due to that. It's not so much a qualitative difference as a sunk cost effect.

It's not a trinity either, silly. The third plank wouldn't be hypnotoad, anyway.

It's more the "brain damage" side of thing than the "lacking memories" side of it. Shitty childhood memories you can take or leave, fairly significant neurological distress due to chronic sleep deprivation/disruption when your brain is developing, to the point it causes memory loss/failure-to-retain, is... generally not a good thing, heh. Tends to make later issues more likely or worse, etc.

Also depends on what you were doing in high school, really. My sleep cycle was so fucked up in my middle and most of my high school years there's the better part of a decade of my younger years that's just more or less a flat blank. Maybe one or two memories retained total, out of the whole damn thing.

Get your sleep folks, it's important if you don't want what amounts to brain damage.

Oh right, and when I said "deal" I meant "continued negotiation" - because it isn't actually a deal proper yet, some members made clear that they hadn't committed yet when they flipped, and McCarthy will continue to find further ground to give before it's over.

I mean, the entire sedition freedom caucus in particular is entirely unreliable -- their baseline nature means they don't "commit" to anything even beyond the level of a memetic politician and their word means shit if someone else can't enforce it on them. You can assume any deal made with the lot that's been voting against him will be broken, probably fairly rapidly.

... I'd say it's an unfortunate position for McCarthy and his ilk to be in, but fuck the lot of them, they made this bed of shit and they can lay in it. It's unfortunate the rest of the country has to deal with their crap.

callout to leeroy jenkins in congress today

and yeah, meanwhile what alway posted. Shit's a farce, and it's fucked up that significant portions of our representatives are actively trying to make it one (and no, I'm not talking about huffman)
