Web browser... open the thumbnail image in a new tab.
I just get PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR trying to connect to kbin.melroy.org at all.

Totally replaced by having an induction stove. Regular kettle boils in like 2 minutes, never really use the electric kettle anymore.
2 minutes on the induction stove? So like... Still slightly slower than the kettle?
No? My electric kettle takes like 3-4 minutes to boil the same volume I can boil in 1.5-2 on the stove. Hell I can get enough for one cup of tea boiling in like, 1 minute.
Are you in the US?
Sounds like a bad kettle.
But you can save all that kettle space for something else. Might i recommend a toaster? You could have tea and toast!
Not today, Satan!
Heh, pretty much every kitchen in the UK - in homes and in offices - has a kettle that can boil a litre of water in 3-4 minutes. You can buy them in the supermarket for around £20.
