#4Today I found out I'm a paid influencer. Shame nobody told that to my bank account or my instagram followers.
To me gas stoves are the best, and now that I don't have one I miss it even more.

The makers of high power battery stoves maybe?
For those who don't know these are stoves that have on board batteries allowing them to generate, for a period of time, far more heat than an ordinary house circuit would be able to power. This replicates some of the advantages of gas.
But honestly I think the ban gas stoves thing is brought to you by the same people who gave us bans on plastic straws. "Let's maximally inconvenience people for extremely tiny environmental gains while ignoring huge contributors to pollution and climate change. That way we alienate as many people as possible and drive them into the arms of the far right."
See the problem is that the far right is so ridiculous and repellent that the left is having to work really hard these days to lose. They're having to push for things like banning gas stoves or the word "field" to have any chance at losing to the people who brought you Qanon and January 6th.

#6I open the window and turn on the extractor fan when I use my gas hob.
It uses a fraction of the fuel that my car does. Easily less than 10%.
Frying on an electric hob is hardly good for your lungs either.
This is just rage porn.

#7It’s politicized too which is ridiculous. I’ve seen takes that being pro gas cookery is right-wing.
Yes, it’s obvious that gas heat and cooking could cause respiratory issues due to combustion.
As a gourmand though, cooking on a gas range is the best experience wrt temp control and convenience. I prefer an electric oven, and the heating system I’m impartial to, though radiant hot water is what I fondly remember from youth.

But you don't operate your vehicle indoors I assume.
