  1. It's not a universal warning for all brands induction stovetops. :)
  2. Absent leaks, I haven't either.* There's a reason they add the smelly stuff to the gas... so you know when there's a leak and do something about it. * Though dirty ovens and burners can smell, and old gas ovens can spew carbon monoxide.
  3. Copper, glass, and aluminum won't work. Le Creuset is fine, though some induction range manufacturers warn against using cast iron because it might crack the stove top sure to its heat retention.
  4. But can a *corporation* hold a religious belief? What rights are we willing to grant corporations?
  5. What if instead of birth control it was blood transfusions or organ transplants?
  6. It's a bit more complicated than that. Hobby Lobby is a corporation. Should corporations have religious rights? Can a corporation have religious beliefs?
  7. I was wondering about this, as I'd not heard that argument before. Thanks for doing the research.
  8. I didn't think I'd like Breaking Bad. Binging this weekend... six episodes left.
  9. The Uncle Albert books by Russell Stannard are also quite good: The Time and Space of Uncle Albert Black Holes and Uncle Albert Uncle Albert and the Quantum Quest
  10. They're not cheap, and they won't work with all cookware (though you can get plates something like diffusers to use with non-compatible cookware), but yes, they are every bit as responsive as gas.
  11. Or in the Old World before the arrival of syphilis?
  12. Most of the non-vaxing people I know go to naturopaths. As I understand it, the occasional unvaxed child isn't a problem so much as pockets of them, where IME non-vaxing is more cultural than reasoned medical opinion.
  13. I get your point, but I'm not sure that's a benefit (or cost) to nature so much as a consequence of nature. :)
  14. Yes, at the same concentration as blood alcohol, which is extremely small. The average beer is something like 5% alcohol by volume. In most jurisdictions, .08% blood alcohol by volume is considered too intoxicated to drive. Drinking while pregnant is very different than drinking while breastfeeding.
  15. Didn't read the story, but when you look at blood alcohol levels, even assuming a *drunk* mother at 0.15% blood alcohol by volume (milk wouldn't be higher), the child would have to consume a ridiculous amount of milk to feel any effects.
  16. This is gonna sound bad, but I'm procrastinating watching the last episode of series 4 of Breaking Bad. We're starting school again Monday after a prolonged absence, and I'm supposed to be done with the series before then... otherwise I won't be able to think about anything else. There's only time for one more episode today, but I suspect it's going to be an even worse cliffhanger than the one I just finished. What to do, what to do?
  17. Our oven spews carbon monoxide, almost but not quite at the "unsafe to use" level (we are careful to provide extra ventilation when it's on), so I'm currently shopping for a range and would love a dual fuel. Even better would be something with an infrared broiler. <sigh> Unfortunately, the house is old and the box can't provide the amperage needed, so I have to go all gas. I wouldn't give up the gas range top, except for induction.
  18. But the problem is really (2 + 1/2) * (4 + 3/4) = (2 * 4) + (2 * 3/4) + (1/2 * 4) + (1/2 * 3/4) Much easier to convert to an improper fraction. ETA: Never mind, regentrude already covered that. :)
  19. Or you could attack it as a casework counting problem. One drug - 17 possibilities two drugs - three drugs, etc. Being careful not to over-count. Drug 1 and Drug 2 is the same combination as Drug 2 and Drug 1. What level math is this for? What unit topic is it in?
  20. Both, though I only use it for boiled eggs. The degree of doneness corresponds to how much water is added per egg. It came with a measuring cylinder, so nothing to figure out on my part.
  21. That's not a good place come summer or if the fridge exhausts to the rear. Best to bury them now that it's spring.
  22. There's still the back of the freezer. :tongue_smilie: There is nothing but a bit of dust behind my fridge.
  23. Lots of those magnets with words on. Various other fridge magnets DH has collected over the last 30 years (he gets maybe one per year). A few recipes. Some highly inappropriate "ads" for the services of a clown. ETA: We were going to take them down when the kids could read, but we've missed that boat. ETA2: And a diagram of the Julio-Claudian family tree. ETA3: A colour printout of the Discworld reading order by storyline. Includes Raising Steam.
