As someone who grew up using an inexpensive resistive stove; they're really not that bad once used to their quarks and slowness in changing temperature. If anything, I burned far more food trying to learn a friend's gas stove than I ever did with my old resistive heater.

Saying that, after picking up a really nice used portable induction burner, they are genuinely a upgrade, besides the limitation in pan size due to burner size, which doesn't really exist for other types of stove.

The greatest benefit to a smart induction burner is the precision maintaining a particular temp, alongside the efficiency gains which lead to much less wasted heat in the house during summer.

This doesn't help with avoiding new purchases, but perhaps getting involved in Meshtastic might interest you? As a side effect, putting up your own meshtastic node would help bolster your communities decentralized communication ability for natural disasters or political unrest.

Further resources:

  1. Joining and organizing within your local community to create connections with others is incredibly powerful, and will lay the groundwork for effective resistance.
  2. We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This can massively impact their income streams, and can bring a government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
  3. Join the IWW and attempt to unionize your workplace, so that the general strike is even more effective (plus you'll get better pay and benefits!)

If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Join up with allies while we still can easily!

Sounds like that'll generate an untold amount of ewaste.

If you're looking to move, Sopuli.xyz is a fantastic medium sized general instance.

Bloody brilliant.

While not a super deep analysis, the Space Quest Historian did a retrospective on the first Police Quest that deconstructs somewhat how Jim Walls seemed view police work, or at least his idealized version of it. It's also pretty funny :p

Sounds like it was bustling! Awesome!

Looks like MSNBC is covering it.

Apologies for the late response, but cheers for the update! I'd be curious to hear how you liked it in a recipe when you do cook with it :)

I don’t think I’ll be eating it plain on toast anytime soon

I don't have it on toast super often, but if combined with a goodly amount of butter-tasting stuff and with only a veeeery light coating of marmite, it's actually pretty tasty, much better than on a cracker on its own, I imagine.
