The psychological impact of Air Conditioner to Europeans is equivalent to Electric Kettle to Americans.In both cases the populace have to go through the five stages of grief.
>>538571531Not really, we have them all over. It’s like 15 dollars at walshart
>>538571531Literally all of those things have cancer causing plastic on the inside where the water is hot. Even the ones marketed as stainless steel. Even the ones marketed as glass. No thanks.
heating water with coal to heat water with electricity, you're looking at 20% efficiency vs 35-40% efficiency with microwavesair-condition has more to do with codes and being allowed to drill a hole in an old apartment vs a UNESCO heritage sight
>>538571714ac fills you house with estrogen aerosol
Gay thread is gay. First off, Americans do have electric kettles, we just don't use them. We don't drink faggot hot tea like you do, and the only people who drink iced tea is the south and they make it as such large quantities that they need more than What a single electric kettle can hold. So enjoy your heat wave and try not to die faggot
>>538571531I itch my buttcrack and sniff my fingers
>>538571681Yeah and they take five minutes to boil water where mine does it in sixty seconds because your houses are on 120v, vs 230v in the UK, essentially capping them at 1500w vs 3000w for ours.
>>538571891Certainly plausible, the ozone hole scam to replace all the freon was exposed a few years ago. Maybe I'll look into this
>>538571980Slow and steady wins the race
>>538571980It’s like a minute maybe 2 for a cup to boil on ours. Same thing for microwaving your mug.
Clueless burgers flexing with open air AC units. When will this end?Just look at the latitude where EU is compare to the US. We build to keep the energy in, burgers pump it out. So the trend for heating solutions are not favourable for AC units. Also many houses are now built with geothermal systems here. ACs are now considered literally old here.
>>538572080>>538572075The problem is that it is so slow that by the time we want to use water it is cold and must heat it again with more electricity from the wall. Whilst Europeans are able to use it fresh and flouride free water, being done before we get the chance to use.Bigger L than the World Cup.
Americans are obese, and heat can kill them, of course they need to be maintained to an optimal temperature. Also imagine the smell without AC, fat fucks stink, even more when they're black (most americans are, at least partly).
>>538571531Electric kettles are better than standard stovetops for boiling water fast, but pointless if you have induction. It takes me <30sec to boil water for my morning coffee with my induction range. Prior to getting one i did use kettles for boiling water over using the standard range
>>538572766Except I have an induction stove so any standard tea kettle will boil in 5 seconds.
I have an electric kettle to make tea though.
>>538573036Americans like myself use the microwave, that stuff is for commies Europeans invented that btw.
>>538571531>MFW I have a stovetop kettle heating right nowThis cup is for you, nigger.
>>538571531>kettle with temp controli want my kettle to boil water as fast as possible at 230V at a frequency of 50Hz. i'll do the rest thanks chinky niggers, an i'll keep the extra 70 quid.
>>538571531A chinese lady, running a tea shop, told me Brits are idiots who only know how to boil water and burn their tea.
>>538573036Induction stoves sound cool. I had a standard electric stove at one point, which was slow, and currently have a gas flame one. But induction stoves sound like they'd be good for more even heating, which has always been an issue for me.
>>538571531thing is.... I just really have no need to heat up water. like what the fuck are Europeans doing with all that? they need a separate device just to heat up water? how much fucking water are you heating up on a daily basis for Christ's sake?
>>538571980US homes have 240v to the panel, we just don't use it for every outlet because it isn't needed.In fact, our central air conditioners have dedicated 240v circuits.
>>538571531>>538571891>>538571980>>538572754>>538572766>>538572879>>538573262You know you don't get any extra points for being chronically obsessed with us - hope this helps!
>>538571531I have an electric kettle that i use almost daily. What are you on about? The only reason most Americans dont have one is because most of us dont drink tea
>>538573470The suck. Not intuitive at all, lack of ambient heat and visual indicators removes tactial feedback the infoms cooking, you lose heat the moment you lose contact, and to top ot all off they often make a the most terrible screeching very high frequency whining noise. Induction stoves are absolutely god awful for any real cooking. They do boil water pretty quickly though.
>>538573586>obsessed with usmy post has nothing to do with retarded mutts.
>>538571980I used mine earlier today to make a hot chocolate (since it's so cold in my air-conditioned house I was getting chills) and it couldn't have taken more than a couple minutes.
>>538571891Thats not how it works. If it were, it would run out of aerosol at some point and need to be refilled. AC units never need to be refilled unless you have a leak in the compressor loop, which would cause it to stop working in a matter of hours
I can go buy an electric kettle today. Can you buy an AR-15 today? I can.
>>538571531>have another appliancejust use a microwave, it has a beverage button.
>>538571531everyone has an electric kettle over here, you have no idea what you're talking about
>>538571531I have a perculator. I am superior to europoors in every way. Even their elites have to bow to me. Hol' up, its getting a little warm in my house. I need to put it back to 69 degrees. 71 is too hot for my taste.
>>538573470Gas is better for actually cooking. They say the surface on induction stoves doesn’t heat up, and that is true, until you rest a 400 degree pan on them for a few minutes, then the surface is quite hot. And it remains hot for a while after you shut off the coil. Meanwhile when i am cooking on my gas range, i turn the heat off a burner and its off instantly
Air conditioning isn't worth it for the 5 days of 30°C heat.It's now barely above 20°C, there is no reason to install AC.
Is this why Americans make tea with lukewarm water? I'd rather you chucked it in a harbour if that is how its going to be.
>>538573675>you lose heat the moment you lose contactThis should be more widely known. They're no good if you need to flip food in a wok, etc.
>>538573480It's not really 240v. It's 120v to ground but split by 180°
>>538573675>>538574043That's not how physics works.
>>538571531we have electric kettles, retard
>>538574034Buying a separate kettle to boil water for tea is like buying a separate stove to boil water for pasta. Do what makes you happy but it's sort of unnecessary.
>>538572766All petty bickering about the goykettle or the jewcondition aside, i genuinely feel bad for yall since most people are forced to buy potable water or drink the tap with the "fluoride tax" included without even getting a say in the matter.
>>538573834niggers use microwaves to heat water, white people use the stove
>>538574257Maybe not, but it's how induction hobs and those shitty regulated electric hobs that turn off and on by themselves work.
>>538574469Heat retention is a property of the skillet not the heating mechanism. The wok thing is true to a degree you need a special wok induction stove.
>>538571531We don’t need them because we haven’t drank tea since we dumped the British East India Company’s tea into the Boston Harbour. Seriously, that’s when the culture changed, look it up.
>>538574338Then why is it impossible to order a cup of tea that is hot in the continental United States?I've stayed in some of the most expensive hotels in the US and it never happens. I keep saying BOILING WATER, pour BOILING WATER on the teabag or into the teapot. And what arrives is dishwater colored and cold.
>>538574657Very sad story. Perhaps one day you'll turn things around.
>>538571681Fpbp. Any American who wants a kettle can go out and buy one right now. Youropoors not only can't go out and buy an AC, they've turned it into a sociopolitical issue.
Hands up if you’ve ever put a line on your meter! Yay. Free blue tingle benzine am i rite. You can’t do it on the new ones. But, can you remember trying to remember >is it the two inside prongs >or the two outside prongs that i connect>???I got it wrong twice. You end up doing black face if you survive. It blows it up and all the electric goes off all down the street.I bet nobody in America even knows what a line is. Its any bit of old wire, a bit of flex off an appliance will do for bypassing the meter with. I don’t think you can do it anymore i used to do it when i was a kid with my first flats when i had no money. The pigs when they were doing raids used to try to turn you in for it. Nobody gave a shit or ever did anything about it i had no money anyway but the pigs got all farty about it and acted like it was a nuclear bomb rigged to kill them all and started sharting and puking and jumping up and down at the sight of it>What’s wrong cuntstuble don’t tell me this has turned you against me and that you won’t even be staying to breakfast? >this because i am black isn’t it? >>538573644Despicable. I bet you are very thirsty people. I gave up coffee it makes me jittery. 1 x black tea tea bag1 x ginger and spice tea bag2 x camomile tea bags= 1 cup of proper tea. Camomile is a real drug. It binds to the sane receptors as benzo’s. A couple of cups of tea and you’re ready to try your luck on the free electricity bingo and choose - is it the inner prongs or the outer?
>>538573834If you use microwaved water toirrigate a plant, the plant dies.That should tell you something.
We use e kettles too. It's another appliance like a toaster. We haven't used stove-top kettles in my family for ~12 years.
>>538571531Check the power rating; it's probably exactly the same as the smaller stove heater, if not moreHow hard is it to figure out you'd need the exact same amount of power to heat water, regardless of heat source, sole difference being how long it'd take, with the total power used always being the exact same?
>>538571531I just use my 1250 watt microwave
>>538574943>>538574902
>>538574708>Then why is it impossible to order a cup of tea that is hot in the continental United States?Because companies don’t want to get sued for burn injuries. Look at the McDonald’s coffee spill case.
America had the percolator 1950 then It just went out of fashion not to buy coffee at the store.
>>538571531My stove is electric, why would I need yet another device in the kitchen?
>>538571980You do know we can achieve the same thermal power, by just drawing more amperes right? And most American houses DO have 240v power. Hell, we can even get 480 if we want
>>538574708Just pop the tea in the microwave to warm it up if it bothers you so fucking much. You europoors are fucking helpless.
>>538574604Or just a good induction stove: https://youtu.be/7zhXF3_Cz8k
>>538571531so wait europeans can't use ac in summer, but can use electric kettles.they can't use heaters in winters, but they can use fridges in winters.make it make sense.
Amerishart here. Have had an electric kettle on my kitchen counter since the 1990s. My boomer amerishart father has owned them since they literally came on the market. Every big box store here sells acs and electric kettles. I have a rice cooker too chang.
>>538574338Different tea needs different water temp. You can't just use boiling water for everything. With an electric kettle you can heat water to a specific temp.
>>538574968Who cares anon I don't have to count pennies.
>>538571531.... What do you mean think we use electric kettles all the time. You could also hear up water in the microwave depending on how much you need?
>>538575143I'd say that would be classified under "special".
>>538573470they fucking suck shit. don’t ever get one, maybe a single side burner but never use that shit for cooking
>>538575007The reason it was so hot is that the beans were rancid but they settled so that info would not come out to the public.
>>538573470I own one, they’re not great for even heating, though they are fast. If your pan is even slightly warped, it won’t work. Things like a wok are a foregone conclusion. Gas ranges are the best
>>538575315>Misses the point>Who caresNot me
>>538575252nah that part of the kettle is a scam. Makes no difference what temperature it is as long as it's boiling. You think in the British Empire they were like "oh wait let me measure my kettle temperature for my tea"? Hell no.
>>538574794>Camomile is a real drugYou need to start foraging then for wild chamomile or growing it at home so it has a nice extra strong apple taste
>>538575273Only faggots offer tea
>>538575179Pretty simple. all the imports are from the hottest places on earth and can handle it and even favor it, while the natives need to be able to cool down in summer to be comfortable. The desert dwellers can also deal with cold without heaters, they just wrap themselves in rugs or something. It’s all being done to drive out the natives. Ac is one of the foundational white developments in the history of society. Id imagine bongs will soon ban indoor plumbing. Canada basically already has.
>>538574173Yeah and you still get 240V RMS. You don’t need 240 to ground, only phase to phase. Also, they’re 120 degrees out of phase, goofball
>>538572879Literally the frog in the pot that doesnt seen france is getting fatter, old people die in the heat, it smells like piss, the metro smells like BO, and there is dog shit everywhere. Sorry, but your romantic vision is just that.
>>538571681Who the hell is spreading this rumor that we don’t have these here?
>>538572766>memeflag>muh world cup>"we"Seething eurotard detected
>>538575336Have an induction wok hotplate thing. It is very good. The magnetic heating and standoffs really help get high gas temps and allow the wok to be worked semiproperly. No gas in my area, which woks need. I would not want to use induction on my normal flat stovetop for any reason.
>>538574001Generators are the same luxury… until you need it.
>>538573470>>538573928I like induction for most things, gas is a fucking meme im so tired of it. ''dude broooo heat control!!!''except the heat of the room you're fucking turning up 30 degrees by using gas. makes anything miserable to cook.
>>538575422I forage it in Morrisons. I could pop some in a garden that my mum uses to play at growing food in though. Might. Good idea.
>>538574173You dumb gorilla nigger. 240v is 240v, voltage is a potential. There is no muh true real organic unadulterated premium ground voltage you fucking troglodyte.
>>538571531lol I'm an American and I have a kettle in my air conditioned apartment
>>538571531Americans dont drink tea. No need for a kettle.
>>538571980retarded fast food instant gratification culture lmao yuros are consumer cattle
>>538571714And I assume you have evidence for your claim, right?
>>538574034Going by what I read in this thread they don't drink warm coffee either.
>>538575010I have one of these as a back up in case my coffee maker craps out. The only reason I don’t t use it regularly is it’s a pain to clean the grounds out
>>538575551People without AC.
>>538575551Kikes and shitskins are just forcing it.
>>538571531We have like 3 (three) days of extreme heat. It's like 17 now. What would I need AC for?
An electric kettle would be another appliance I'd have to clean and find a space for.I either use a coffee pot or put water in a cup in the microwave.>>538573470Our electric stove works fine. Extremely easy to clean, no open flame in the house, just turn the knob, not "slow" or whatever the fuck (what does this even mean?)I always cook with cast iron and the electric stove has never presented even a single problem.
>>538574173Electricians use antiquated terms which often lead to confusion. An engineer would say it's a 240V center tapped secondary. You can take the straight 240 or connect either of the secondary windings to center for 120. They're 180 oop because they're different secondary windings on the same transformer.>>538575505It is actually 240V to ground. There's no negative AC.
>>538571531Why would anyone use a electric kettle?It's less efficient and slower than my magnetic induction stove.The stove puts 3.6KW of power right into my pot. 1l boiling in a minute flat.
>>538571531The difference is that I'm allowed to buy an electric kettle, though I don't really need it. Brits are forbidden from using AC, even though they really need it. I actually got one and while I haven't used it much, it's pretty great. Quicker than boiling on the stove.>>538571714Mine doesn't. Not even advertised as such, I can clearly see it's just metal and glass on the inside.
>>538573480I'm curious, because we all have 3-phase 400V coming in and we use it for things like induction stoves and tankless water heaters. I know both of these exist in the US, so how do you hook them up? Stoves pull like 8kW and up and tankless water heaters happily rip 24kW out of the wall.
>>538575984>not "slow" or whatever the fuck (what does this even mean?)It doesn't immediately get hot and takes a while to heat up. Maybe they've gotten better over the years.
>>538576330>It doesn't immediately get hotNo shit, water takes time to boil. That's thermodynamics.
>>538576452No, the stove took time to heat up. A flame is immediately hot, as is the induction type apparently.
>>538573470Induction is far superior to anything you've ever used before. The only issue is that you the pan needs to connect to the surface so yeah you can't use a wok.But why the fuck would you use a wok anyway?Induction heats faster than a flame, you get 3KW+ from 0 the same secound you turn it on. Cools instantly the same way your gas flame would because there's no shitty resistor that is retaining a lot of heat. It doesn't heat the air around it. It doesn't heat the stoves surface, so nothing burns on top of the stove and it's always easy to clean.There's almost no downside, except, if you're a gook and really love your Wok, or if you really love aluminum pots I guess.
>>538576524Oh my bad, I didn't read what you were responding to.
>>538571531Bruh we have these, they're just useless most of the time
>>538576562>But why the fuck would you use a wok anyway?StirFridays, dummie
>>538571531why do *uros act like americans don't have these? americans who drink tea almost universally have them. but most americans don't really drink tea. (stovetop pot is better anyways and not full of onions chemicals as has been pointed out)
>>538571892Fag. Real Americans drink good coffee which is by def pour over coffee. Expresso is for speedo wearing eurofags and percolators are for dying boomers. Fag>>538571980Fuck your stupid faggot face fag.
>>538576248they put in larger outlets for your laundry room dryer and oven. Kitchen appliances always stay with the house with the exception of the refrigerator which don't always stay. Rarely do people leave laundry appliances with houses. I'm always afraid of overloading outlets. You gotta be careful in a modern world with modern technology and old homes that ain't been updated.
>>538576682I don't make those desu.If I got a bunch of leftovers I'm likely just making a risotto out of it or putting it in a omelette.
>>53857153150,000 Americans are not dying every year from microwaving their tea.
>>538571714>Even the ones marketed as stainless steel. Even the ones marketed as glass.Proof? Aside from some manufacturing residue which you get rid of by running it once and discarding the water (they literally tell you to do this in the instructions) youre not going to magically get plastic out of glass.
>>538576562Doesn't work with God's chosen pot and pan material: 0.2mm stainless steel mechanically fused to copper.
>>538576904It's a common purchase for coffee if you use one of the more manual brewing methods (pourover, etc.)
>>538571531Not even close. AC is a serious investment, replacing my AC would cost me $5K.Kettle is nothing and doesn't improve much, as long as you have a gas operated stove.I have an electric kettle BTW and it has it's small use case.Conclusion: OP is a faggot.
>>538576978THIS kek
>>538577114>me $5K.Damn an AC guy told me he quoted a variable speed unit for 40k lol
>>538576330They must have because for mine you just turn the dial and it's hot in like 2 seconds.
>>538576978coffee, not britbog water. Get it right
>>538577046What would be the purpose of inventing something so silly when cold iron works just fine? Just to make your pots expensive?Or Stainless steel if you insist it shouldn't be heavy?
>>538576562Induction might be safer and cleaner but every chef prefers to cook with gas because we like flames. Since we the beginning we cooked with fire.
>>538575523We're not called the little america for no reason, you retard. It's just called americanization.
>>538576935But a two-phase 240V system pulling 24kW is 100A. That's at least two 1AWG conductors, just for the water heater. What do they hook up your houses with, an inch thick copper rope?
>>538571531or, just get boiling water instantly out of the sink, like a civilized person
>>538577365>>538577365>'re not called the little america for no reasonBro you're Canada Jr
>>538575879The problem are the legitimate retards that reply without following the rules.
>>538577180Iron has dog shit thermal conductivity. Copper gets evenly hot all over. The stuff you use bain maries for I can do directly in my pots. Also, I don't have to pay the extortionate dinner-time electricity rates. Even though I'm using hilariously expensive bottled LPG now I'm only spending ~400kr/year on cooking gas.
>>538577490But power has always been 1sek per kw/h?You guys should build yourself a nuclear reactor already.
>>538571980>Yeah and they take five minutes to boil water where mine does it in sixty secondsWho cares? >Oh yeah? Well MY item of convenience is marginally MORE convenient!Whoop-dee-doo
>>538575010I actually love perk'd coffee and we have a huge green one from like the 70's that still works great. Use it for holidays
>>538576248I'm not an electrician, but basically there are two 120v hot wires coming into the breaker panel each out of phase with the other.Then for 120v circuits you have a single pole breaker that only contacts one of the hots, for 240v circuits you have a double pole breaker that connects to both hots.For stuff that needs a lot of power like a tankless water heater, you just run multiple 240v circuits to the device. The only device I've personally encountered that needs that much power is a tankless water heater, though. Mine has three dedicated double pole circuit breakers feeding it, for example.
>>538571531The electric kettle isn’t popular here because of the 120v power. 20 amps of 120 volts is only 2400 watts. British kettles get twice that. We could plug a kettle into the dryer socket like insane ol’ Alec, but that would be stupid and gay like Alec.Keep your kettle and I’ll keep my stove, which is the only real way to put 4k watts into a pot of water in America.
>>538577654We really should. To put this pic into context, they recently halved our prices by removing a ~1kr tax per kWh. It's fucking bad here. However, even at your stated price I'm still limited to ~1kWh/day, and there are definitely problems with cooking on induction. My parents have an obscenely expensive one with zones and automatic detection and the heat is still quite uneven, even with high thermal conductivity aluminium sandwiches, and modulating the heated area is very unintuitive. It's fast as all hell, yes, but the producers of them also insist on giving them touch screens and discrete levels, where I often find myself modulating my gas hobs by gently tapping the analog knobs with a nail to get the heat for long term stuff juuuust right. I wanted to like induction, I really did, but it's just not quite there for this. My rice cooker is induction though, and that works great.
>>538578064forgot pic like a tard
>>538575010Can't sell paper filters if your machine doesn't require paper filters.
>>538577371we use 120V in our electric system, not 240V. To answer your question I dunno what you are even talking about. I just know that much because they teach you that about computers.
>>538578178No, you use a two-phase 240V or 208V system depending on the type of hookup. The point is, that at 240V you're pulling 100A for that kind of tankless water heater over the wires coming into your house. You need a 1AWG conductor to carry just that 100A, so just how insanely thick are the cables coming into your house?
>>538571714I have a Zojirushi 4 liter water heater, stainless.
>>538571531I already have a microwave, and it boils water faster than an electric kettle does. Why should I buy a second device to do something when I already own a device that does the same thing faster? Make that make sense.
>>538574034>I'd rather you chucked it in a harbour if that is how its going to be.Consider it done.
>>538577114>AC would cost me $5KSo how is life going back in 1997?
>>538577371>24kWkekAre you roasting Jews in the oven all day long?
>>538579016I was just asking about how Americans hook up these units
>>538576933>>538577758Why did this make mutts irrationally mad?Can dish it but can't take it?
>>538578064idk I bought a electrolux one a long time back and except for the very first pannkaka I don't notice the heat beeing very uneaven. The touchscreen bs is anoying, more so because it shuts the stove down if there's water on top of the touchescreen buttons than anything else. I just never touch it that part, there's no functionality there except a timer they for some reason thought people would want. >>538578390What's the benefit of this construction? That it took longer for children to kill themselves on 120V back before you have earth-fault breakers?It seems needlessly complicated when it gives you a extra live thread instead of N just beeing earth?
>>538578390>you use a two-phaseNo we don't dumbass. There's one two phase plant in Boston built by old man Westinghouse himself with a handful of industrial customers just as old. US residential is 100% single phase. Read the wikipedia article or something.
>>538579327You don't have 3-phase connected to your house?Makes sense you'd want to use a gas stove then I guess.
>>538576229There are just better options than having a kettle. My mother had one of these installed and it’s pretty damn cool.
>>538571531And no matter what happens, China wins.Who produces all the electric kettles I wonder?
>>538579391Euro and US electric stoves have the same power output. Just stop being poor and buy more copper.
>>538572879>>538572754>200,000 euros died from excessive heat in the last 4 years according to The World Health Organization.Oof thats gotta sting.
>>538579391We want gas stoves because they are better. You cannot cook with technique on an electric stove. We cook a lot more than Europeans, who seem to always eat out. We cook well and have far better access to a far wider range of ingredients than you, too.
>>538579482They asked for it
>>538574830Who's doing that to begin with, retard?
>>538571531>boiling water
>>538574830...? if you pour boiling water on the plant?
>>538574708>Then why is it impossible to order a cup of tea that is hot in the continental United States?Because nobody here gives a shit about tea.What tea is to brits, coffee is to us.Guarantee that if you order coffee in the US, it's going to come hot as fuck.
>>538579666Aussies be retarded
>>538579203Either pay for a 480V 3-phase hookup if it's a commercial building or gas. My understanding is those don't work very well for small houses. I know a lot of people get recirculator pumps to keep the water in the pipes hot with a conventional heater.
>>538574830>That should tell you something.Yes, that you're under 100 iq, likely some kind of brown, and you believe everything you're told Poor people from poor countries making up boogeymen about bog-standard appliances is the funniest shit ever. I have not ever not had a microwave or air conditioning since the 1980sAlso WHY DO BRITS CONSTANTLY TALK ABOUT MICROWAVING WATER LMAO NOBODY DOES THAT
For the longest time I though electric kettles are only for people who are too lazy to boil water, but I tried one by accident and it worked a lot faster than heating over the gas burner. Its so convenient in fact that I'm surprised people aren't using electric kettles all around the world.
>>538575059Europoors just regurgitate talking points about America they heard from their parents and grandparents who lived in the 40s-90s and the 50 years of communist propaganda they lapped up and now pretend like their countries aren't all culturally Marxist at their cores, to this day. That's all this is>t. born in 1982 and lived in Europe off and on because both parents were ZOGbots and lived in Germany for 3.5 years and just got back last yeah actually when I was a ZOGbot too It's called Germanistan for a reason and europoors are just that
>>538579906Got back last year* lived in Germany twice, Spain, Italy, and Iceland. Europoors are just super jealous of Americans, nothing more
Aussie chink cunt just got btfo'd>>538575673Thank you. Also you should forage for sea rockets too. They're indigenous to the UK but they made their way over to the Northeast here during colonial times and they're delicious and an solid wasabi substitute in the fall (but nice and smooth right now)
>>538579906>Europoors just regurgitate talking points about America they heard from their parents and grandparents who lived in the 40s-90s and the 50 years of communist propaganda they lapped up and now pretend like their countries aren't all culturally Marxist at their cores, to this day.This is why there's so many "whoa America is actually awesome" posts on social media by soccer tourists
>>538579740A plumber recently told me they suck ass but people do install them nevertheless. It makes way more sense in the US to use a large conventional tank, what with you not being dirt poor peasants and having plenty of physical space. Even so, a standard 60cm induction cooktop (and I know that's hilarious to you since cooktops in the US begin at 90cm) rips 8kW out of the wall here, so how in the hell are you running your 120cm behemoths on 240V (or 208V in some commie block)?
>>538571980>because your houses are on 120v, vs 230v in the UK,No, our houses are 240v split phase. They are just wired so that most of the normal outlets only get half of that, because even 120v is massive overkill and most of those outlets will end up getting stepped down again to 5v to 48v with adapters.However, we also do have 240v outlets for the appliances that actually need them, like clothes dryers, ovens, etc. There is nothing preventing anyone in a standard house in the US from adding another 240volt outlet in their kitchen to use an electric kettle just like the ones you use in the UK. But no one bothers to do that in the US because it is unnecessary. Most houses already have coffee makers, microwaves, and stoves that can be used to easily heat up water when needed. This is just another example of the narcissism of small differences. Our cultures are so similar that Brits get hypersensitive to minor things like this to try to re-establish a distinct identity. Same thing with the use of "soccer" - it was your term, Brits were the ones who coined it and regularly used "soccer" to describe the sport until the '80s and '90s when it started to get big in the US and then suddenly started acting like "soccer" was some kind of forbidden illegal term, and that the only acceptable word was "football" within your national/cultural identity.
>>538580120>Our cultures are so similar that Brits get hypersensitive to minor things like this to try to re-establish a distinct identity.What else do they have mate
>>538580011240V. Just a really big plug. This is a bog standard dryer / electric range plug. Like 4-6 gauge wire depending on length.
>>538571531The correct temp for coffee and tea is instant death by scalding.Anything less is for cowards and children.
>>538572754Cope. There are more heat-related deaths in Europe than gun-related deaths in the US. And Europe has the highest per capita rate of heat deaths in the entire world. >We build to keep the energy inYes, your buildings are designed to retain heat in winter. But during hot periods it turns your homes and buildings into death traps. >burgers pump it outActually, we can pump it in or out depending on the season. Most "air conditioners" in the US today are really heat pump systems, which can move hot air from inside to outdoors to cool the house in summer, but can also work the other way and pump heat in to warm the house in winter. People in the parts of the US with mild climates can just use a heat pump year round and don't need a separate furnace and AC system.
>>538571531We don't like tea.
>>538572075Needs more sand/nigger deaths
>>538580339We used to put these big fuckers in kitchens for regular old resistive stovetops, back before we got fully bitchified>nooo you can't just let people plug and unplug 400V it's not saaaafe~
>>538571714good thing you can just boil water to get rid of microplasticsmine is stainless steel, but with some silicone (?) rings and that floating water level thing is plastic.
>>538580899Anon I....
>>538571681Yeah I have an actually nice one but we have them. I also have an espresso machine that instantly makes hot water for tea and oatmeal and stuff so I don’t even really need it.
>>538572766There's no floride in my water.
>>538576224Residential split phase is central tapped. Its usually delta 240 phase-phase, with one 240 phase broken into two 120s. Then the center point is ground-bonded. So it really is just 120 phase to ground.>>538574173It's still 240 between the wires. The neutral's only on the 240 socket for safety use and so you can still grab 120 if you want it (like a 120v fan on a 240v convection oven).
>>538571681The price is not an issue. The voltage in your electric grid is.
>>538571531Why do angloniggers think we don’t have this? They’re fairly common.
>>538582014No they're not. You're lying and coping, just how lie and cope about superior Euro windows. You don't have them and you're jealous and you can feel your own inferiority.
>>538571980Hey europe, mad you don’t have AC? >well you don’t have kettlesyes we do>okay well they don’t boil as fastYes they do>fuck you
>>538582014To them it's a huge deal that theirs takes 2 minutes to heat a full kettle and ours takes 4They blatantly do not understand that we just don't drink tea and it's meaningless to usThey also don't have stoves in their home (even illegal in parts of UK to own a stove) so they don't know about heating water in a pot or actual kettle, hilariously
>>538582014Oh, and by the way, that teapot water level scale? It's in METRIC.
>>538571891If that were true, EU would make it mandatory for you fags to have one.
>>538582107>no they’re notIf you make a thread saying we don’t have them and you get 5 random people showing you theirs, it’s fairly common. We don’t see that the other way with ACs
>>538572879Every year more people in Europe die from heat related illness than die in the US due to gun violence AND heat related illness combined. Apparently you cant handle the heat either faggot
>>538571980My stove boils water in less than 30 seconds
>>538575671Vent your exhaust. What the fuck are you retarded?
>>538571681Yes, but they’re not ubiquitous here.
>>538571892I use mine and drink hot tea but I have always been superior to the average amerigoy
>>538582191I can see that. Imperial is better, so not a great choice, but hey, life goes on.
>>538571531>gooseneck master racei bet you savages don't even heat you water to the correct them and don't steep for the recommended time.
american vs euro threads are made by jews
>>538573470Been using induction for over 10 years. Just switch. You need to make sure your cookware is compatible and that's it. Regular electric is ass. Gas is ok, induction is best
>>538582525What's the imperial equivalent of Watts, Amperes, Volts, Joule...
>>538582440Yeah, because tea isn't nearly as popular here. If you're a tea drinker, and not everyone is, you probably own one.
Kettles, whether electric or gas are better for hot beverages than microwaves as they heat from the bottom up inducing a rolling boil which aerates the water giving it a fresher taste.This is why microwaved water is stagnant tasting with a scummy film.tl;dr not all boils are equal.
>>538571531use this all the time. why are anglos always making up these bullshit stories.
>>538582653Idk but if we made those it’d be better
>>538583025Umm, no.
>>538582938This is true. I know one woman who microwaves her mug of water and then makes her green tea and it’s pretty messed up. She wouldn’t switch to a kettle either because she sees nothing wrong with doing that. Pretty rare though. I’d say maybe 15% of Americans drink hot tea at all, and almost all of those have kettles. The rest drink coffee and water. Boomers and low class fatties drink cola all day
>>538583262It’s a little thing called the facts.
>>538571980>all these coping replieshe's absolutely right. 1500w limited appliances is cancer.
>>538583304> using decimal, not superior duodecimal system of olden times created by glorious Aryan ancestorsYou're not welcome in the Reich.
>>538577285I've used all 3, currently have induction and gas mogs the shit out of the other two. Every fag saying the opposite probably barely cooks anything. The only thing annoying about gas stoves/ovens is leaks, and judging by the lack of anyone mentioning gas leaks as the big negative on gas stoves, I can confidently say they've probably never used one to any relevant degree and are just talking out their asses.
>>538571980kek, all these seething yanks replying
>>538583748Question do you know what a yard is? How big is your yard? My yard is an acre and I have over 20 trees that are more than 15 meters tall. Right now hawks and owls are both nesting in my trees. A yard is a place outside that is connected to your house and you own itA house is like a council flat but 100 times higher quality and 10 times bigger and nobody else lives there but your family
>>538582653Units are units my friend and all unit systems have an element of arbitrariness. Those who struggle with this are morons.
>>538571531We don’t drink tea, though.
>>538571531>Oi, you got a loicense for dat ke'ul?I've had one of the ones in that pic for like 20 years. Use it every day for tea.
I drink cold tea
>>538582281lol
>>538571714I tried to buy a coffee machine several years ago and they all had plastic cancer parts. I ended up going down a rabbit hole on how Americans were psyopped to drink piss water coffee with the invention of drip coffee. After many hours of research I ended up settling on a 1960s electric percolator. It was the only thing I could find that was totally stainless with no food contact to plastic, and didn't have a subscription service baked in (coffee filters is a subscription service). The coffee is actually tasty because the heat causes the coffee to go up through the metal tube several times instead of filtering through Monsanto cotton then Chinese plastic one time and taste like piss.. it does work as a kettle as well. I've since taken a liking to all sorts of vintage appliances. They're entirely serviceable if they ever break too. If you've never had toasted bread from a Vietnam war era American made toaster you're missing out. They actually toast the bread properly and quickly. Any toaster from the modern era has been cucked because retard niggers and boomers kept burning their houses down by placing it under flammable surfaces while cooking, so all modern toasters are made to do a slow warm and that's why your toast is both soggy and burnt at the same time. The only caveat is you can't fit Jewish bread (bagels) in the slot
>>538584266Could have just bought moka pot or French press if you care that much You're not doing pourover or espresso so why are you acting like a coffee snob? It's just embarrassing.
>>538578390no we use 120V. Trust me, I don't care if you're an electrician, you are wrong.
>>538574034what uncultured cunt makes tea with lukewarm water? boil that shit.
>>538571531Anon you should Show our German ROLLLADEN. Saw a lot of Americans being amazed by them, I did not know they dont have them. Or know them..Starts at 0:34https://youtube.com/shorts/NG1bbvdoU9gAmis and the rest of the world can just dream about that.

>>538585460>The window thingI took a picture of my living room and posted it here one time and one of your countrymen told me I had "special expensive windows" because I have two picture windows in my living room that are a meter square. Every middle class house in America has windows like this. Congrats on your two way opening 30cm windows.

>>538571531>Electric KettleIll take my tea cold, with lots of ice. Thanks
My coffee maker make hot water in minutes for my coffee checkmate europoors
>>538585460What does it matter when houses are unaffordable in Germany? It's like 4 times the amount here. How does anyone have a house there?
>>538571531Electric Kettles are like $20 from any store.
>>538584266Peculators are decent "set it and forget it" if you have company over or some shit, but personally I think they make the coffee taste burnt. I prefer a french press.
>>538585630Huh? No not the way you open a Window. Ok that's in the Video too, but I meant a something else.The American woman in the Video called it "like a screen door" or smt. Picrel.
>>538580120>But no one bothers to do that in the US because it is unnecessary.Wow... maybe just like we feel about AC and mobility scooters?
>>538571681>>538571980Why Walmart is nigger-jew Kangaroo garbage, I've got a good one that would only take maybe that long to heat it full of cold filtered water from the fridge. I always use this type of water and it does 8-12 oz. in 30-60s.
>>538586002We have had this product since the 1990s. It was invented here. It's just not popular (uncleanable, so why would you want it?)
>>538585630Like I said, starts at secon 34. Essentially you can turn your room pitch Black and it prevents the heat entering the room (through the Window) too.
>>538586266German anon look......no country in Europe has anything america doesn't have When you post a video of a black person from America being amazed by something you are posting a video of a black person not an American. Rofl.Nigga thinks we don't have internal shutter windows. One thing we don't have is toilets that hold your shit out of the water so you can play with it though
>>538575551They only got popular in the past 5 years
I get that it might not be "as common" in North America as in Europe, but it's still really common. I don't know a single person who doesn't own an electric kettle. That goes for my American Family and their friends that I've visited. So, I just don't see a very significant difference in rate of adoption. It's probably insofar as tea drinking is a bit less common here. So a few extra of us don't need kettles, but most of us still do.
>>538571980Man Europeans really do live in a fantasy land created by state manufactured propaganda.
>>538586474Most people I know don't own electric kettles. We boil water on the stove like civilized peopleMost uses of boiling water in america are not for drinks
>>538586178Lol no, they were not. But nice try.>>In 1887, the 20-year-old carpenter Sebald Stahl founded S. Stahl & Co. in Nürnberg, based on a patented slatted blind ("Brettchenjalousie"), and around 1900, his company began producing wooden roller shutters while also developing the automatic belt winder, becoming one of the pioneering and later largest roller-shutter manufacturers in northern Bavaria.
>>538571531Why don't americans just use voltage doubler or some shit for kettles ? surely something like that exists
I am glad I live in country that embraces both AC and electric kettles. No arguments, seething or coping. Just boiling hot water fast, and cool air on demand.
>>538571531I don't own an electric kettle. Why would I? I don't drink tea or coffee. Most Americans drink coffee. What else would you use an electric kettle for? To make soup? You need a big soup pot for that anyway, so you can just use the stove. I guess if you eat a lot of those noodle cups in the styrofoam they might help, but why not just put it in the microwave as designed? Why take up counter space with a whole new appliance?
>>538586406You dont even have electric water kettles haha. Fuck off wannabe maga. You SEEM to have anything but guess why? Because you Import or steal them from their inventors decades AFTER they are in use. And no, you dont have rollladen nor do you have and use electric water Kettle.
>>538586626I mean, maybe. I guess all my family from there has done time in Canada, and maybe their friends only know about kettles through them.But, I just lack the attention span to boil water on the stove. I got games to play man, not waiting around for that shit when I want tea.
>>538586406Have to go now. Maybe you talk to a mirror or something :), you little high pitched Ami boys are funny, but there's more important like family right now. (afk). See ya (fuck you haha)
>>538586854It's just so deflated a response. No teeth. Do better >>538587089Holy shit he's fucking mad, multiple posting and shit >NOOOOO YOU TOTALLY DONT HAVE ELECTRIC KETTLESbro we turned off 25% of your countrys economy and you didn't even say anything.
>>538585708>eurocucks are sitting in 100 degrees with no AC drinking boiling hot water and mad that it’s so hot
>>538587370In some council area of england they made it illegal to install AC, behahahaha
>>538587686That’s actually terrifying. The ones with a real solution are punished.
>>538587785No, what's terrifying is we're less than 15 years from unprecedented temperature excursion events in which hundreds of thousands of individuals, minimum, will die at once 117 in Spain -> every old person dies. EtcGodspeed to the Pakistanis, who showed the world they don't desire to be saved. It's going to get to 134 there by 2040.
>>538571980The only sensible thing is to keep the water in the kettle hot by restarting it multiple times per day like my wife does.
>>538586789Very nice Bruce but this D&C thread is for Europeans and Americans to get mad at eachother for trivial pointless shit that doesn't matter at all like the difference in voltage in houses an ocean apart. Except for the AC, thats actually fucking criminal.
>>538571531The ones I bought were pretend made in Switzerland with the Swiss flag but really made in China and made everything taste like plastic and then broke.My dad has just warmed up water in the microwave for decades. He's fine.
>>538575010These are cool as fuck. I have a barrista machine though because I like foamed milk lattes like you get at a coffee shop, $700 and paid for itself with high quality coffee and not having to buy shit that goes in a landfill.

>>538571531>The psychological impact of Air Conditioner to Europeans is equivalent to Electric Kettle to Americans.No it's not. LOL this is the worst no u I ever seen and by an Australian getting offended on behalf of euros no less

>>538572080>microwaving your mug
>>538571531In America, we have near-boiling water on standby 24/7. We can literally just dispense it whenever we want a hot beverage.
>>538590716>noo you can't nuke water to heat it upDanes really are all fags
What the fuck are you talking about? I'm an American with AC and an electric kettle. Fuck there's millions of k-cup machines which are electric kettles with extra bells and whistles
>>538591918Don't take the bait. Don't get mad and let them create a false equivalence
