Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

In what way do you find electric ranges miserable?
I've used gas when I was growing up. I didn't cook as much then but the main thing I remember about it is the gas pipe freezing most winters and having to grab matches to light it during power cuts. (obviously electric is worse during a power cut, but that's a big memory I have for some reason)
I've used induction before and it's just annoying. My sister's one made a really loud noise that you could hear from other rooms, and it always turned itself off if I picked up the pan.
Electric is what I currently have and it's fine. I don't use my wok any more because you can't wrap the heat around like you can with flames, but everything else is just fine. It's easy enough to control the temperature and there's a lot less wasted heat going into the kitchen rather than the food.
Have you ever tried making a roux on electric? Proper heat control is next to impossible with electric ranges..and if you are cooking, that is a critical part of the process
I think part of that is about what saucepan you use. If you've got thicker saucepans with a higher heat capacity, they can ride out the cycles of an electric cooker better and give a much smoother average temperature.
Some of the newer induction stoves have temperature sensors in them, letting you set pot temperature rather than the amount of heat you put in. You get WAY better temperature control than I ever did with gas as a result.
