Abbott won against Beto 54.76% to 43.86%. With 4,437,099 votes for Abbott, that is about 19.6% of the voting-age population in 2022. Abbott is not wildly popular and a large portion of the state hates his guts. Texas is wildly disenfranchised.

CLI and Quadlet? /s but seriously, that’s what I use lol

The top thing I hate about it is that it releases toxic gas into the room, and I don’t (like most people around here) have a vent hood that vents outside. You can clearly smell when the stove, or especially the oven, is running. Better setups probably have less of an issue with this, but even commercial stoves need to be properly vented, and proper residential ventilation is just a rarity in the US.

There has been proper research that shows that pollution from gas stoves contribute to thousands of deaths annually, and that they release toxic gasses even while turned off. Gas furnaces are specifically designed to vent 100% of their air outside. That’s the general guidance with anything gas-powered, except for stoves and ovens for some reason, which vent exactly 0% of their air outside.

The next biggest thing is that it’s just plain slower and less energy efficient than induction (or even electric). Energy efficiency isn’t a huge problem, since gas is just waaayyy cheaper than electricity, but I love the fast heat up times of induction, which are partly due to the great energy efficiency.

Air quality is a huge factor, but I also just like cooking on induction better anyway so there aren’t really any downsides for me besides maybe a minimally higher electric bill.

I bought a $50 nuwave induction cooktop 3+ years ago and have since used it as my main stove, and even taken it camping. It’s still going strong and hasn’t shown any signs of wear and tear, other than a sticker peeling off a little. One of the best purchases I’ve ever made, I hate my gas stove.

Vouchers are fraud by design

State may lose its $69 Trillion “investment” if it shuts down its orphan-crushing machine

Quite the headline you’ve got there.

The taxpayers are on the hook for this dumbass bullshit anyway, may as well skip the crimes against humanity.
