Gas is cheap and it is fairly efficient (debatable) but the rest of your comment is silly. My wife and I and a child of 5 live in a 1000sqft house (two floors total 2k sqft) and heat and cool with a heat pump. Electric on demand water. Nothing crazy about the building as far as insulation and air sealing. 2012 build-to-code. Our electricity bills are NEVER over $200 a month and usually under $150 a month. We haven't had a power outage in two years and the last one was scheduled for about 1 hour.

If you want to argue for gas make better points. Electricity is cheap and reliable. I don't disagree that gas is cheap also and that we shouldn't entirely abandon gas and I'm a realist in thinking we can't eliminate it entirely and suddenly.

Ceramic/glass top electric is shit. I've used gas and induction a fair amount, but at home I have a mid range priced electric ceramic and it's terrible compared to the other two options.

This was last week's blueberry basil margarita.

Made the syrup with blueberries and agave and basil in a pot, heated and then strained.

2oz Espolon

1oz Cointreau

1oz lime juice

1oz syrup

Shaken and strained over ice in a salt rimmed glass

Garnish with fresh blueberries (which sorta sank), basil and lime wedge

I think it's to save them from sexual orientation education in schools? Some people think teaching our kids about gender fluidity and acceptance will somehow make them gay.

My wife and I both use pixel 6s and we struggle with RCS going on and off/having to switch to SMS at least once a week. Can't figure out why but it's frustrating.

Thanks for doing this!

I've had this turned off for quite some time (maybe 2 years) and haven't had it turn itself back on. Using Firefox.

I think the same thing about everything! Never believe anything that doesn't align with my personal beliefs no matter how much evidence exists to the contrary!

You're being downvoted but the amount of people I see in my work and personal life that barely make ends meet but are buying garbage on Amazon constantly is staggering. Prime days especially I was shaking my head at people bragging about the deals they got.

Keep one in your car as well. I've carried one over 15 years under my seat and had to use it last summer when a motorcycle attempted to overtake and hit a turning car. It wasn't fun but I'm glad I had it.
