  Physical knobs to turn instead of the tests of the limits of my patience that are capacitive buttons on a cooking device.

  Please and thank you.

    Some induction stoves do have real knobs. Smeg makes one that I have not used so I can’t say anything about the quality, but I’m just happy that they exist.

    Where in the hell do you live to see a power outage? I live in the EU and the longest power outage was for three hours when I was a child. That was the only one in my life.

      In the US, objectively the greatest country in the world (/s), you can expect a major power outage every other year, and it will be blamed on the very people who fucking called it.

        Last big one in my life was just a couple years ago, no power for two weeks. Greatest country in the world my ass.

    In my life I don’t think I’ve seen a power outage longer than a couple hours, and that was maybe once? I don’t even remember the last time I’ve seen one. Maybe experienced 10-15 in my whole life, with most lasting minutes.

    Am I just really lucky in my area? Or is this the experience most people have?

    Texans need not answer, I already know.

        2 days with no power? Damn! I can see the allure of gas much more in this situation
