You guys are all talking about stovetops when we should be talking about Biden's cache of purloined classified docs. #impeachBiden #notjustTrump #hunterbiden

At the risk of extending this stupid argument even further, the road to decarbonization means that we will have to as individuals make some sacrifices or changes to our lifestyle. I’m sure even table understands that.

in 50 years, the average high temp will be 115 degrees, nobody will be able to leave the house without astronaut suits, the unemployment rate will be 45% because AI will do everything, no UBI, and we'll be suffering under the Morgan Wallen administration.

our sacrifice will be dying earlier than planned

Wow y’all. This is hardcore shit.

imo the government should require kitchens in rentals and new construction to have real exhaust hoods over stoves that actually vent to the outdoors

I say this as someone who has an electric stove but managed to set off every smoke detector in the house last week

>imo the government should require kitchens in rentals and new construction to have real exhaust hoods over stoves that actually vent to the outdoors

here in Ontario that is the case. upgraded the kitchen in the basement and they had to do this for the new range. and since the vent is in close proximity to the pipes, now the pipes will freeze as soon as it goes below -5 if i don't plug up the outer vent with rags.

hood fans are so good allow you to cook very hot without filling your house with smoke this is the way forward let the national healing beginning

lag∞n, Thursday, 12 January 2023 16:03 (one year ago) link

in commercial kitchens the hood fans are so powerful it creates a slight breeze whisking away offending onion chopping fumes and so forth that arent even near the stove

lag∞n, Thursday, 12 January 2023 16:06 (one year ago) link

gas is king but induction is pretty nice even better in some ways like they come to temp extremely fast but not all pans work on them and you lose the open flame so you cant say roast a tortilla on there, electric is brutal obvs

“National sales tax,” Joe Biden says, sarcastically, of House Republican plans. “Go home and tell your moms. They’re going to be really excited about that. Come on!”

i had a hood fan in new york that just blew back into the room if you turned it on while cooking it would blow into your face lol par for the course

lag∞n, Thursday, 12 January 2023 16:13 (one year ago) link

you know, I never thought of calling them that. I've translated from the Spanish, where it's a cognate ("extractor").

i like that thats nice initiate the extractor por favor

there are now 5 different GOP freshmen reps from NY calling for Santos to resign, in addition to non-congressmen like the Nassau County GOP, etc

he won't leave until he is forced to, but seems notable

Karl Malone, Thursday, 12 January 2023 17:40 (one year ago) link

they shd let him stay its funny

lag∞n, Thursday, 12 January 2023 17:42 (one year ago) link

it's tough for santos because i'm not sure he can make the leap to newsmax without saying something really funny or stupid during this critical time. we know him a chronic liar, but he needs something extra in order to stand out in a crowded field

xp!!

that's probably his angle -- he knows that the longer he stays, the more chances the funniness has to bloom

Karl Malone, Thursday, 12 January 2023 17:43 (one year ago) link

A compromise: Santos should stay, but those 5 GOP freshmen reps should resign.

Santos tells me he meant “142,000 voters who voted for me” would have to ask for him to resign.

“The elevator cut that,” he said.

He said “no” when I asked if that means he won’t resign. https://t.co/wxqY9tUToB

can't find any pictures of george santos' stove, this has a kitchen shot but it's not the right angle

loooooooool

ok, i've changed my mind, he should stay. i want him to wear a hat with a camera on it like arrested development, though

Karl Malone, Thursday, 12 January 2023 17:51 (one year ago) link

NYC'ers - what's your gut on what a place in queens like that would have - gas or electric?

Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 12 January 2023 17:52 (one year ago) link

the elevator clip, the fact that he was trying to be clever by saying that everyone who voted for him would have to ask for him to resign, and then the regular English language confusion of answering a question which implies a double negative. that is good stuff

Karl Malone, Thursday, 12 January 2023 17:54 (one year ago) link

older building like that prob gas xp i think the northeast prob has a higher than average gas stove occurrence i was surprised by how dominant electric is nationally seems like in ny/boston etc theres way more gas even in inexpensive housing

He's like the human embodiment of the Knights and Knaves logic puzzle. Santos is a habitual liar. He is asked if he won't resign, and he answers "no." Will he resign?

Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 12 January 2023 18:00 (one year ago) link

makes sense i guess if it correlates with housing age which would also makes sense since the electric stove is a relatively recent invention xp self

“have you, not, at last, no shame?”

“…no?”

All NYC apartments I’ve lived in have had gas stoves. That’s maybe 5 different apartments.

ian, Thursday, 12 January 2023 18:05 (one year ago) link

lol tracer

Karl Malone, Thursday, 12 January 2023 18:06 (one year ago) link

yeah its like totally standard, which makes sense most buildings predate electric stoves so theyre all set up for gas when its time to buy a new stove you get a gas one and hook it up xp

garland has appointed a special counsel to probe biden's classified documents scandal

the difference between this and trump's maralago documents scandal doesn't matter, it doesn't matter that karl rove held up a whiteboard on fox last night explaining the differences between the two cases. just the fact that there is a probe into biden's version of fucking up the handling of classified documents is enough for most people to hold them as equivalent, "everyone does it" and "democrats are the same as republicans". well played

Karl Malone, Thursday, 12 January 2023 18:20 (one year ago) link

Garland did the right thing
