Excellent questions specifying use, goals. I think the Corvo EKG Pro Electric Kettle is what you're looking for. Beautiful & strong, nerded out with all kinds of tech & features, the best & latest on the market. No gooseneck kettle here. I think it's important to note, I have seen Fellow electric kettles in service at high-end coffeeshops. So they know what's good.

My electric kettles are on the cheaper side. I have a SS Delonghi that works great, and a Farberware I got for $4 at a Goodwill. Again, works pretty well.

As far as analog is concerned, the only Fellow kettles in stock are gooseneck. And bafflingly, the stainless steel Fellow gooseneck kettle says in description, "Electric and gas safe. Not compatible with induction cooktops." ๐Ÿคจ I don't understand why stainless steel couldn't be used with induction.

I know it doesn't win in the looks department, but the Zojirushi recommendation was otherwise spot on. They have a well-earned reputation for building intelligent design, robust appliances; I love Zojirushi.

Word to the wise, if you also get an analog/stovetop kettle: get one with a whistle. Even if it's detachable...use the whistle. It can be annoying at times, but it's still a thoughtful low-tech safety feature that can save your stovetop & possibly your house.

It is truly beautiful, and IIRC there's a safe but heavy, powerful flow of water right at the base. It feels great when it's beating your back. Anyway, have fun!

Dunn's River Falls, fresh coconut, guineps, sugar cane, custard fruit, ackee & saltfish, Blue Mountain coffee (the real stuff), and of course...goat. ๐Ÿ

You don't need to speculate or theorize; they say exactly how they did it. I cut to the exact part of the video where it is succinctly explained.

You'll also notice that, according to Ben/according to Israel/according to Hezbollah... they advertised that they were going to stop using phones & switch to pagers. In July. So people going on about "they could have done this all along" are wrong. It's been since sometime in July. This July. Which makes this a very fast & even more effective military operation.

Yes, the shell company was set up 1.5 years ago. Date of sale, idk. But common sense: you need to sell your enemy the goods...and you need to know with relative certainty that the hardware is actively in use. So: since July.

Oh, they do. It has a distinctive, raggedy kind of look to the turds, doesn't it? Filled with all kinds of potential for disease.

You're not wrong, but there is nothing like a truck bed. Of any size. It is so friggin practical, speaking as a man that has had access to pickup trucks but has only owned 5 cars as daily drivers...trying to finagle some big piece of shit into the cars for transport sucks. Especially anything of size that might not fit through the puny, stupid doors.

Yes, that fold-down backseat helps a lot with long, narrow items. But it's still hardly a substitute for a truck bed.

I would love a machine like this, but without the lift & massive wheels. Seems unnecessary.

I'm going to counter with 2 distilled, oversimplified thoughts:

Happiness is a choice; most people can find a way to be happy in their lives with what they have.

People shouldn't have children mainly to experience joy, be complete, or just because. That's fucked up. I know people will fluff out a number of reasons if challenged, but I think you nailed it, and I think more than a few people have kids just to have kids.

I remember exactly where I was & what I was doing when 9/11 happened. I was in middle school, science class, it promptly ended & we watched the live footage play on a CRT TV.

Correct. That's why I will NEVER buy brand new wireless earbuds from Apple, Samsung, or any other phone manufacturer. Oh, you took the aux port out of your phones? Go fuck yourself. I will not financially reward you for limiting my freedoms.

Currently I use Jabra Active 8s. The Jabra Active 10s are supposed to be so much better, but for the price, the 8s are just pretty good.
