I do use DDG as my default. I was using "googling" for the sake of making a witty remark. Even so, the results are usually comparable - the first couple dozen results are mostly AI/SEO slop.
I used to be good at googling information I needed. Then Google changed what googling does.

I considered trying to move the oven. Not sure how flexible the gas line is, or if it should be disconnected first etc. I'm comfortable with electric, don't know a thing about gas beyond not to mess with it.
There's a dedicated 240V 40A breaker in the panel, has been in the tripped position since before we moved in. I haven't physically traced the line, cramped attic and semi-finished basement. When replacement time gets nearer I'll take a closer look before making a decision. Just not looking forward to it. Every time I've taken a closer look at this place, I haven't liked what I found. 🫠
IT DOES NOT FUCKING MATTER.
Put it on the record.

I didn’t need to another couple grand to run a new 240V line to my kitchen
I've already got a circuit run. A prior owner installed a gas stove at some point 20+ years ago. The issue is that I can't test the outlet without removing the current oven. Knowing a bit about the prior owners, it wouldn't surprise me if they went with gas due to an electrical failure. Hooray for question marks and cover ups.
I just finished Advocate, book 3 of Daniel M. Ford's The Warden series. I've been really enjoying this world. The first two books ended on cliffhangers, and the year wait between entries was killing me. Book 3 ended with a nice wrap up of one arc and a setup for another, both building up the bones of a larger story that's been looming ominously.
The problem is, it looks like Tor has dropped the series. The Warden and Necrobane were available in hardcover, but Advocate only got a TPB release. I can't find anything concrete about book 4, and according to a friend of a friend (and taken with the appropriate grain of salt) sales weren't good enough on the first book (?!?) to warrant re-upping the series.
I'm bummed. I found out about Ford's first series, Paladin, through word of mouth. I thought it was okay - a little tropey in places, but once he found his pace it was entertaining enough. Then he did some detective stuff that I had no interest in, but when I heard that he was doing another fantasy series, and that it got picked up by Tor, my interest was piqued. The result so far has been a marked improvement from Paladin, and one of the few things to poke through my deep depression these past few years. And now it's all in limbo.
Maybe I'm overreacting. I'm not going to pretend the know the machinations of the publishing world, and maybe someone else is going to pick up the series. It's just frustrating to find something nice and get it yanked away.
Anyway, rant over. I enjoyed my time with this series regardless of its future. If anyone else has read it (or has heard any news about continuation), I'd love to hear your thoughts.
What day is it, anyway?

This one has been bugging me for awhile, so I don't know when it started. But images in-line in the text portion of posts show at their original resolution, and do not scale down.

Possibly related, images that are wider than they are tall don't scale down in comments.
