  • When i was a kid, a mexican restaurant chain shut down after a bunch of people got sick/died of hepatitis A in my city.

    The day they reopened, it was highly publicized on the local news, and my family went there to eat… i asked my dad if he was concerned about getting sick. He stopped, looked me in the eye, and told me with the upmost confidence “i guarantee you that this will be the cleanest restaurant meal you will ever have in your life”…

    i feel a similar concept applies to this situation… with all the eyes on the 737 max8, there is no way management is going to sell one if it has outstanding flaws/safety issues.



  • They do make twist in plugs…

    Your standard (north american) plug is a NEMA 5-20R… the twist in (locking) variant is NEMA L5-20R.

    I see locking plugs most commonly used in applications where the cord may have a bit more force to it… example: a ceiling mounted receptacle serving movable furniture/equipment.

    Theyre not used for standard domestic applications for all the reasons other userd indicated in this thread.





  • I went from electric to gas a couple years ago moving to a new apartment.

    The most jarring part of the transition was the fumes. You can really smell the pollution.

    The dial means nothing… the flame gets a bit bigger/smaller, but there really isnt the same level of granular control as an electric.

    I find myself constantly worrying about bumping the handles.

    Bitch to clean…

    Overall, not impressed & cant wait to go back to electric.
