  • legal definition

    For what jurisdiction? There’s not one legal definition. Every country, and every state in the US, has their own definitions.

    My state, for example, defines it as (paraphrasing) unwanted contact with intimate areas for the purpose of sexual gratification or humiliation, or to intentionally harm. It’s a bit subjective and open to interpretation, but there’s no way anyone would get convicted under this statute for a short, closed-mouth celebratory kiss.

    Again, it’s assault, and it’s gross and inappropriate, but it doesn’t meet all the elements of sexual assault.





  • Oh yeah, you’re probably right. If you couldn’t tell, it’s definitely because they’re the same. I’ll go back to the dozens of kitchens I’ve worked in and tell them they should switch to electric.

    I’m a professional chef, bud. I’ve cooked more meals than you will ever eat. I have tens of thousands of hours behind all manner of cooking appliances.

    Induction > Gas >>>> Coil

    There’s no question. And since my electricity is generated mostly by fossil fuels anyway, there’s literally no reason to spend $$$ for induction range+pans.



  • Yeah, they can, but they don’t. Every electric stove I’ve ever used has had long pauses between cycles. My current (heh) electric stove can barely boil water and getting constant heat for like a custard or hollandaise is literally impossible. And it’s not an old POS, it’s a newish Samsung glass top.

    I literally boil water in a 120v kettle faster than my stove. A gas stove boils faster than both.

    But obviously induction wins. Something like 95% efficiency plus temp control. I just wish they didn’t whine like a CRT TV.


  • It’s not about how long it takes, what matters is constant, even heat. Electric coil stoves turn on and off to regulate heat so you get crazy fluctuations.

    Gas doesn’t have that problem. Good induction stoves don’t, either, but they’re still hella expensive. And you need the right pots and pans or you will have a bad time.

    There’s a reason basically every restaurant in the world uses gas cooktops.
