I mean, induction is literally only a specific kind of electric stove. I don't think I've ever actually seen or used an induction cooktop and I've had plenty of electric. They heat up an iron coil that you put the pan on, radiative/conductive heat same as a gas stove.

We also have machines in our kitchen sink drains to chop up food so it will go down it

That apparently fascinates the fuck out of Brits

By and large Americans hear "kettle" and think a metal can with a handle and a spout that you put on a stove (aka range aka cooker aka hob) which is used to heat the water inside. Often with a whistle over the spout so you can hear it boiling.

Electric kettles are not the norm although I will say they seem to be catching on a bit. I own a couple now and I've seen them at some small restaurants. But I would say in terms of heating water, in the US it goes, microwave, stove kettle, electric kettle, custom 190°F tap

Where I'm lost is does this mean he thinks billionaires are too overly physically prowessed, or because they are insufficiently intellectual?

I mean, this is corporations using decent regulations as an excuse to do something they've probably already wanted to do.

I don't understand why the user doing what they want to their own possessions has any impact on the original manufacturer.

Samsung isn't selling flashed devices as far as I know...

Merriam dgaf. Their job is to figure out what words people are using, and document them. People could invent the word "bumblesausagecock" and if it caught on, they would add it.

Hot take, but I dare say 4chan was the source of as much of what's good in internet culture as it was for much of what's the worst in internet culture.

Rickroll, Caturday, the modern meme format, reaction gifs, "TLDR", Anonymous (well, the good versions of it), spoderman, Rule 34, trollface, rageface, quite a bit of pet abuse justice, ... they may have even successfully set back AI chatbots nearly a full decade with their gaming of Microsoft's Tay chatbot... quite a lot of modern Internet slang such as win, fail, an hero, based, copypasta, creepypasta, "god tier", lulz, moar, sauce...

The thing about anarchy is that it brings out both the best and the worst.
