I actually like some of his characterization! It’s funny, but in his dislike for women he seems to give his female characters a LOT more agency and power than other writers. His women have actually complex inner lives and personalities with motivation, even if they’re awful.

Two of us!

Still probably cheaper than retrofitting a building with gas pipes 🤷‍♂️

Not really. The problem isn’t that gas is somehow unreliable, it’s actually that gas doesn’t scale at all. It’s a massive expensive infrastructure change and it’s not flexible - you need gas. Electrical stoves can be powered by solar, wind, propane, etc; gas only works on gas.

Congratulations! Now run the piping for gas to every apartment in a major city. Do it for the same budget as battery induction cooktops. Then we’ll talk.

You are #3 on the “your power sucks” roster for this thread!

I’m seeing a lot of derogatory comments exactly like this shitting on the power grid. Either there’s a bunch of southwestern kids on here who never sat through a storm in their lives and can’t imagine weather which impacts infrastructure, or the mockery bots are in play.

Depends on where you live. California in summer, and most places where you have trees+snow will get you outages. The rise of data centers using power scoped for residential areas is also likely to have impacts.

Perfection isn’t always feasible for everyone. Sometimes harm mitigation is the right step.
