  • I made my own hot chocolate once. I flew too close to the sun.

    I kept adding chocolate (and cocoa powder) and sugar again and again. I wanted to see how much would be too much. Problem was I was tasting it after each iteration. By the time I realized my own taste perception was getting numbed, I had gone way , way too far. Nobody else could even drink it. Even I could only drink half a cup and I was buzzing.

    Moral of the story: cleanse your palate kids. It could save your life.


  • The problem with induction (including everything you cited there) is down to implementation, not the tech itself. The difference in UX between a bad induction stove and a good one is far far greater than the difference between a bad and good gas stove. A bad induction stove is just… really bad. But a good one (knobs, high density of settings) is just amazing. You can command 3000+W of power that actually goes where you want (you can get a pot of pasta water boiling in like 2 mins), and then the same element than consistency simmer at whatever low level you want indefinitely.

    After using a great induction stove (with knobs, knobs are mandatory) I can’t ever go back. Yeah you get 5000 watts of heat with gas but most of that just heats your kitchen, face, and pot handles. It only tangentially interacts with the food you’re trying to cook.

    My main issue with induction conceptually (once you move to induction compatible cookware) is that because they need to be digitally controlled they’re necessarily complicated. It’s possible for a gas stove to last 100 years if it’s high quality and well maintained. An induction stove is lucky to last 10. But the experience is sufficiently superior for me.

    This is vibes-based. The DNC will not cease support for Israel because the US State needs it for its Imperialist ambitions.

    They can be made to cease unconditional support for Israel which is the only reason Israel has no incentive to work for peace.

    Why do you believe organizing and building outside pressure has zero chance of success?

    Probably because you and you guys have never provided a plausible possibility for how that would happen?

    Why do you think the DNC will magically work against their material interests?

    Unconditional support for Israel can be made to be against the DNC’s interests. But you have no interest in that. You just make noise.

    Moral implications is actually the only outcome of voting in the US. BTW , when the situation in Gaza actually gets better, remember that this genocide was directly facilitated by people like you.

    The only productive thing you’ve done is prove the opposite of that. You did by accident, but you did it.

    There is significant anti-genocide faction within the democratic party that is trying to change things from within. There is nothing like that within the GOP. The only way to stop this (and the broader unconditional support of Israel) is through the democratic party. However small you think the chances of success of that strategy, leftists offer literally zero alternative paths to this outcome that have any chance of success.

    It’s incredible that I had to chew this up and serve it on the platter before you could wrap your head around my point

    Have you tried actually writing well?

    You’re right that there is no solution to the problem in Gaza because it turns out that Americans are perfectly fine to let genocide continue and will do nothing about it. Glad we’re on the same page.

    Cool thanks for proving that voting doesn’t have any moral implications on the situation in Gaza at all, so you all your noise can be safely ignored. BTW , when the situation in Gaza actually gets better, remember that you did absolutely nothing of any consequence.

    Yes, thanks for finally making a coherent point. You care deeply about internal US politics almost to the exclusion of all else. Your comments about “not caring about US internal politics” was transparently bullshit, and you have absolutely no solution to solve any problem, let alone the plight of Gaza. Glad we’re on the same page.
