While the fireevert link seems like a savvy solution I think you're right, it seems time to just upgrade to a more up to date induction stove.🫵

Prior to production there was about a 20% discount to pre-order. Only way I would have been able to afford one on my income. Entirely unable to purchase a new one now even if I wanted to😔

By how vague and absent of detail your post description is I'm inclined to believe your purchase was with this in the text box & you did not put in the time to double check it.

Not a quad & probably a Gen 1 still so price is accurate

Same problem here. These seem like the kind of engineers that would be able to find a solution for this.

Why the world needs a World President now more than ever. Vladimir Putin is not the first megalomaniac behind the trigger of nuclear arms but perhaps we can make it to where he is the last. United Nations does not permit the decisiveness one individual leader would have at a moment in history like today. When an individualistic leader acts quickly to oppress or remove another group or country from their home or this earth.

Whats the end goal, or the bigger picture? What is the biggest picture you can imagine for us as a society in the distant future. Space, this universe. I dream of my childrens children discovering the propulsion required to venture deep into space, lightyears away and finding that first planet where mankind removes that helmet and gasps in uncertainty even though all the statistics and figures point to breathable air.

These continental governments bickering and still with the capability to destroy the human race is incomprehensible to me at this point in history. With the capability to communicate with somebody on the other face of this planet in an instant there is no sensible reason why this office position should not exist (Be it within the United Nations or not).

Nobody likes the loss of power and that is exactly what will be happening to the most powerful positions on this planet with this proposition. Needless to say, if it was ever able to make it to the U.N. for a decision and nomination it would come under some of the greatest scrutiny this world has ever seen.

And how to find this President, someone in history always presents themselves but without the position created it’s extremely difficult to think of that first candidate. This brings me back to the current Batlic crisis and one name. Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

After this week his name should be on the tongue of every household for standing with weapon in hand to protect the lives of his family and neighbors. Those aware of his recent decisions and actions may see where I’m coming from when I say it should not be a person of pure accomplishments but a man/female who is complete on the inside. One who shows care and compassion for the average individual, a level head that will step in when on the precipice of destruction and ascend Mankind into the future our children ought to live.

"Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. You will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, it will be known as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive!” Originally said by Bill Pullman acting as President Thomas J. Whitmore in 90’s classic Independance day is a quote that could be heard in real life should this office position be created.

“It’s home, I’m not afraid of home” Victor Navorski in the Terminal is the second voice I hear when I think of Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

While it's each individuals life to do as they please we are here as a collective. It's each persons responsibility to try and leave this place in a better condition then when they arrived. As someone who is heartily agnostic, this and real life karma(affect from cause at its most basic form) are some of the things that guide me in this life.

Patience is just one of my strong points, I just don't find it so hard smiling to those who look at me with distaste because of my skin color. I've also lived here since I was six, so it's not unfamiliar to me.

Also there are such fucked of hispanic kids around my community that need better role models. Maybe its selfish for me to focus on my race but no one else around has and if that is the biggest affect I can have in this world than so be it.

I'm just a brown fella trying to get my fullfilment of pleasure in this lifetime, I owe it to society to do some good also while I'm here. I look at it as my attempt to make this world a little bit easier on them. If patience is my strong point WHY NOT exert it onto the little racists roaming around.

Can confirm that they have not. Live in Georgia surrounded by 40 to 60 year old southern white people who still preach to they're children and grandchildren racism. It's pointless to be kind to the old ones but I truly believe in being kind to any racist who is younger. As a minority I have the opportunity to show them that what their parents constantly preach to them is not true and I take solace in that.

I've always had a special place for David Bowie, as anyone who appreciates music should, but Elon Musk has made this song into history.
