It’s also impossible to clean
I think that’s also an advantage of induction. Admittedly I haven’t used an electric glass top, but the induction glass top doesn’t get hot except directly where the pan touches. So far it’s been trivial to keep clean

Agreed. My balance is to put a little more effort into inside air that I have to breathe constantly. Induction is a nice cooking improvement and investment into cleaner inside air, and I cook outside when I want a flame
I think woks are an issue in general but one reason is rounded bottoms which don’t give enough surface to heat
- some woks have a more flattened bottom to work better with induction
- there’s a least one countertop unit where the burner is matched to the pan
I don’t do much wok cooking so never have reason to maneuver the pans
I find induction much better than gas, in addition to not polluting my inside air
gas stoves rule
I used to say that also but dammit, induction stoves are even better. The clear winner is my pasta pot on the big burner boils water significantly faster than gas used to
Actually I’ve noticed fairly frequently that I no longer have time to prep while things are getting up to temp - I’ve had to change my habits to do essentially all prep ahead of time (ok the pasta water still takes a bit but instead of turning it on high before doing prep, I use medium high to give me more time)
Some people have problems with their cookware, but I was already using cast iron, which works beautifully, and multilayer stainless which works beautifully. I do keep a couple non-stick skillets for eggs, or visitors to use, and had to get special ones since most won’t work.
The only real problem with induction is it isn’t commonly available (in the US), and can be expensive. I paid way more than I wanted to, because induction and air fryer which I wanted, only came with “smart” and double oven which I didn’t want to pay for …… and I never did see a floor model so had to buy without actually seeing it
That changed this year. Tesla enabled adaptive headlights this spring and I read that Rivian did more recently. Audi is in process but can’t do it with an over the air software update
At least in my state, the annual inspection is supposed to check headlight alignment. However I’ve never heard of anyone getting a fail on that so I doubt they do
Yes adaptive headlights are excellent. It’s finally coming to the US. I believe Tesla and Rivian have them and Audi is in the process.
It is definitely entertaining driving around with them on, watching the dark spot follow oncoming traffic
I’ve also seen referential self-leveling headlights but never paid attention to what those are
Given that many things, including reflectors, reflect light directly back, yes it is beneficial to have the headlights close to the drivers sightline
My Subaru has those and it doesn’t do what you expect. In that case, it’s literally another set of lights synchronized with the steering wheel. There are no moving parts.
I’ve had people come up to me to point out that “only my right foglight is on” thinking I have a burned out bulb. Nope, turning right lights the right side.
I seem to remember from a documentary on the Tucker that the moving parts caused reliability issues
It’s an arms race. People are blinded by the glare of oncoming headlights in their old cars, so search for a way to safely drive their next car.
I was tempted for my older car because it was getting really difficult to drive at night with how dim those headlights were, relative to oncoming glare. I see replacement LED bulbs “for off-road use only” advertised as much brighter. Turns out replacing the bulbs (with new correct ones) and cleaning the windshield made some difference. Enough

I just got an Airthings Radon monitor, and the integration with HA went smoothly. As a starting dashboard I have a simple card displaying sensor values.
But I let myself get carried away and got the one with the most sensors. So expected to see history graphs so I can look at trends or events, but it never occurred to me they were all different units and scales. HA wants to create many charts, which is less easy to read.
Does anyone have dashboard ideas on how to display these?

Did they actually charge you? I’ve read that it’s a tactic to break up protests and stifle dissent. Arrest someone with no real intent to press charges. Then keep them in jail for however many days they legally can to scare the shit out of you and ruin your life
Then, “oh you didn’t get your Miranda rights read? I guess you’re free to go”
