All you have to do is look at what happened to the conservative community. There was a post asking whether it was meant for trolling conservatives or for actual discussion, and the resounding answer was that no conversation was possible with conservatives or anyone who holds right of center views.

There were a few lemmings who posted in support of allowing conservatives to have a place to chime in, and they were downvoted into oblivion.

That’s being bullied off of Lemmy, which is fine, communities are self organized and managed, and chasing away wrongthink is apparently what the vast majority of this platform wants.

Again, all of that is fine, but we shouldn’t pretend chasing those people off wasn’t the intended outcome, or that this isn’t an echo chamber.

french people should be exterminated

Whoa

Hard disagree. Try making a sauce which requires high heat, then very low heat. Turning the electric burner down doesn’t immediately reduce heat, it cools off relatively slowly. I guess you could switch to another burner that was preheated to a low temp, assuming you have a free burner while cooking.

I’ve worked for years in several professional kitchens and cook 3 meals a day, 7 days a week from scratch at home. I know how to use the tools in a kitchen, and non-induction electric burners are absolute garbage.

I absolutely agree. I’m happy to switch to a new technology as long as it performs at least as well as my current implementation.

I have a few cast iron and carbon steel pans, but most of my cooking vessels are thick copper (not copper inserts, full 3mm or more copper). Copper pans are superior to any other material (unless you prioritize cost) and are sadly incompatible with induction.

Don’t even talk to me about electric element (non induction) stoves, they’re garbage for heat control.

Just pointing out the person you replied to said CO which is carbon monoxide, not CO2

The lack of formatting in their comment was confusing.

That said, you’re right that CO (or CO2) aren’t the only harmful outputs of combustion.

I live near beach, it’s pleasant year round. Much of my living space is permanently open to the elements, the rest of it has sliding/french doors and large windows that are open most of the time the dwelling is occupied.

It’s definitely a shelter.

That said, stuff from outside sometimes gets inside. I clean, no biggie.
