It's not particularly good to use indoors and very impractical to use for multiple meals when it's like -30 outside. Also I'mma gatekeep now and say that BBQ should be wood or charcoal, not propane. More smoky flavor.

That said, obviously one should own a BBQ of SOME sort if they own a house. I think it's legally mandated in my country that any home with even a tiny bit of land around it, needs to have something that can be used to produce burnt shashlik and sausages.

I don't like non-stick anymore because the coating eventually gets all scratched up and doesn't work as good. Idk how it gets scratched up, I never used metal. My ex did, so maybe it was her.

Cast Iron, if maintained well (i.e just don't cook anything too acidic. You don't usually need to re-season), lasts forever. It's also great for when you want to sear something without the pan cooling down once you put your food on it. Because it's thick and stores a bunch of heat. Yet somehow it also gets hot pretty fast.

I don't get stainless steel personally. Apparently to get things to not stick, I should be using MORE heat? But I already use a lot of heat! On the up side, they get hot really fast.

Copper and carbon steel I've never used. I hear carbon steel is similar to cast iron in many ways, but easier to maintain?

If you're doing a new build, definitely go induction. Electric sucks because it's kinda slow-ish to get started, gas sucks because either you need to have a gas line built to your house if you don't already have one, or you change out the gas container every now and then (and that thing is heavy, mine's 17 KG of gas + whatever the huge chunk of metal weighs, which is definitely more than 17 KG). Plus the whole issue of, y'know, freshly burnt hydrocarbons (yay CO2 and potentially other gases). Oh and gas explosions aren't common, but they can happen!

Only downside of induction is that if you lose power, you can't cook. A wood-burning stove as a backup is excellent in this case, because depending on what your heating system is, you may also lose heating if power is gone.

Lol our far right praises everything Trumpler does. And there are also pedo suspicions about some members of the family running the far-right party in my country.

They haven't been able to get enough power to go full Hitler, but all they really need is a few good crises. They want to get rid of all LGBT and POC too. Funnily enough they don't want to ruin the welfare state though, unlike the liberals.

Uh we have our own far-right problem plus many people just don't care about foreign politics.

They're actually afraid of being called nazis, so they have to side with the so-called Jewish state lest Netanyahu claims they're holocausting again

It's ridiculous because it seems even most Jewish people don't support Israel anymore.

So there's different definitions of the word. In my language, there's two separate words. There's the more political one that has Europe and Asia separate, but the Americas together and then the one that more accurately reflects geography, where the Americas are two continents, but Eurasia is one.

Hey, that's actually pretty interesting, thank you!

Agreed on her not being responsible for the sins of her grandfather, but it's kinda fucked up that her grandfather was allowed to keep ruling after WWII, rather than being replaced by a family member or something.

Well yes, it's antivax slop and an anti-antivax comment pointing out how ridiculous it is
