I'm not entirely sure, but I'm under the impression that my tumbleweed installation lost X11 months ago and is Wayland only now.

The induction stoves I've had the "pleasure" of working with were all very efficient to get water boiling. For every other cooking technique they were terrible. Perhaps I had bad luck with the models I encountered. Maybe it was caused by the pans or maybe it is just getting used to it. But the fact they're almost exclusively controlled by buttons is absolutely a deal breaker for me. I can't handle the stress of 4 pans and pots with buttons not responding because of a smudge somewhere or just because f*k me. Not to mention the models that have 2 sets of controls for 4 burners, where you have to select the appropriate burner first. Those abominations have to be designed by someone who only boils eggs or cooks ramen or hates cooking in general.

I've had similar issues, but since I also experienced it near electric stoves it wouldn't be caused by the burning of gas.

I've hypothesized it is caused by overheating cooking oil.

Before induction cooking, gas stoves generally used to be able to provide more heat than electric ones. So its easier to cook hotter and burn more oil with those stoves.

Might be something else entirely in your case.

I believe to remember I glanced over some of the articles mentioned and I seem to recall they were about poorly ventilated situations without proper hoods.

That doesn't say much about air quality WITH hoods in general, let alone my situation in particular. Incidentally I was already planning to build a little sensor array, specifically for the kitchen, that would would measure some of the nasty stuff.

But even if I would measure that stove is slowly killing me, I wont give it up. Just like I won't give up my coal fired barbecue.

Yes I measure.

Since I couldn't find an affordable consumer device, I build one myself. Levels in my living room never really exceed acceptable levels. My house is not airtight and constantly mechanically ventilated.

They have to pry my gas stove from my cold, dead hands. I refuse to accept indoor air quality deteriorates that much when using a proper hood (that means turning it on before igniting your stove).

No really. The modern greenhouses act as little power plants, burning gas and generate electricity for the grid when demand is high, or act as a sink with electric heat when demand is low.

The protests are coming from individual farmers, the article is a feel good story about large(r) companies profiting from those farmers.

1. I guess we're overproducing the bland stuff then.

2. Fair enough. My own anecdotal evidence hasn't been that bad. But then again, I haven't seen an industrialized pigpen yet.

1. The good stuff is for export.

2. Would you reckon your experience applies to the average animal farm in the Netherlands or does it apply to the farms where your tech gets applied?

I'm from the Netherlands and I must agree. The entire article reads as a sponsored item.
