Another option with that space could be detachable induction hobs: www.fabita.it/en/products/...

Fabita is the evolution of an industrial firm with over 10 years of experience in the sector of induction and vitroceramic hobs and of extractor hoods.

The idea is that an induction range with such features could replace other individual appliances (rice cooker, tea kettle, etc.)

Pacemaker concerns aside, something ive been holding out for is temperature probe + programmability support on induction drop-in ranges.

AEG 9000 series isnt sold in the US but supposedly offers it.

Thermador/GE also have some probe options but they're both expensive or limited.

Thanks for mentioning this. I've been passively planning out switching to induction but am leary if someone in the household ends up with a pacemaker down the road.

Also noticing higher end portable induction hobs can have more features (temp probe, programming) than the inbuilt options.

Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

Possibly Related, Texas just voted yes on Prop 6 on "prohibiting the legislature from enacting a law imposing an occupation tax on certain entities that enter into transactions conveying securities or imposing a tax on certain securities transactions."

Is a 'pre-posting intervention' different than 'post guidance'? Thinking of bsky.app/profile/pros...
New research on Reddit's Post Guidance feature, which gives users in-time feedback on their post and community norms. A lot to get excited about: (1) public research using a (2) field experiment to test a (3) transparent and (4) proactive tool that (5) reduces mod workload. arxiv.org/pdf/2411.16814

Its just running an MVNO business with a creative pricing scheme + marketing themed around 'digital detox'. Its not hard to start an MVNO.

It seems like an extreme/misleading take by the OP to compare it to Theranos (where something was claimed to work but didnt).
