I'm glad you are so informed. I'll believe what the actual fire department said was the cause. You live in whatever world fits you.

I'm glad that wasn't more disasturous. Sadly the cat in this story did not survive and the home was a total loss.

The stove was off when my aunt left. My sister fed the cat a few days and the stove was off. The fire department traced the fire to the elements on the stove and the assumption is the cat must have turned it on by accident while walking up there.

I can believe that with traditional electric ranges. But induction should mitigate all off that. A boil over of oil will hit no heat source to ignite. There are no elements to hold heat like electric coils. Without a pan no heat is generated if they are turned or left on. So I'd believe in terms of risk it could be electric, gas, induction in that order.

My aunt went on vaction. Her cat turned on the electric stove and it burned her house down. I have an iduction range. If you turn it on it will "search" for metal and if none is found in 30 seconds it turns itself off. No heat generated. Just some magnets cycling.

I can heat my carbon steel pans to 600F in about 70 seconds on my induction range. I can boil my largest pot of water in 3 minutes.

I love my induction. It 'clicks' on high but who cares? I'm cooking stuff is sizziling and things are making noise. The control over the heat is amazing, the bridging is great. I can boil water faster than anything. I'm never going back.

My job is reviewing terrible PRs and correcting them. Who cares if it's a 1st year graduate or Claude?

Exactly, but it isn't outsourcing. How do you solve this issue? Many companies are multi-national. Do you tax their foriegn labor? How does that help anyone?

I want to see more American jobs, but I also don't see how to pull this off. It's like the old "I know how to stop spam email" meme.

The firms won't need to use a foreign outsourcing service. They can just open a branch in that country and hire the labor. Still cheaper than using Americans. If anything this will just hurt small/mid sized businesses that can't afford to do that. That said. I'm still in support.

Think about it, of all the things Congress can spend time on, they are working on fringe things like UFOs. They could be trying to fix the labor market, healthcare, turn executive orders into laws, ensure americans have their rights protected, ensure infrastructure is adaquetly funded, invest in future technology to keep america a leader, find and remove pork spending, improve government agencies to reduce fraud and waste, restructure taxes to be easier to file.

But no, let's talk about UFOs. That will distract the masses for a news cycle.

Someone is pretty mad their skillset doesn't let them work from home.

The more fake bots on social media the more likely to drive humans away. Eventually it will just be bots talking to each other and companies swapping funds. The best thing for humanity would be large scale social media to end. Reddit, Facebook, Xitter, etc.
