Comment on “The William” Electric Stove by brad

So, I checked out the YouTube page for “The William” and I guess it’s just a concept somebody put together, which is probably for the best.

I didn’t know about induction heating, it sounds awesome. So, an ideal combination might be an induction range with electric oven?

As a side note, I want to mention how super-convenient it is to have an electric kettle on hand. We had one at my old job, but I’ve had pretty limited exposure to them otherwise. In the UK they’re commonplace. They kettles are quick, efficient, and really handy… I never boil water on the stove anymore. I’m often tempted to experiment putting other things in it (soup? hot chocolate?) because it’s so quick, but the almost-certain of ruin my meal and extra clean-up work is a strong deterrent.

Looks pretty sweet. And very expensive.

As for general heating element tech: gas wins on performance/price, but i think the overall performance winner is induction.

Induction has some really sweet features: it’s extremely efficient, it has near zero thermal inertia since the cooktop doesn’t get hot, it’s easy to clean also because the cooktop doesn’t get hot, near instant heat delivery (some models boil water in 90 seconds), and excellent low heat performance beyond the capability of either gas or electric (think of melting chocolate without a double boiler).

The only serious drawback is cost.

It took me a hot minute to figure out what was going on, but then I loved it.

Thanks for the Tip, Eric.

Did you know that you can auto-fit the column width to the widest item in that given column by double-clicking the little resize dude?

It sounds like I should probably rewatch with that in mind. What you’re describing was really what I did love about the film; my feelings of anger toward the war itself may have overshadowed in forming my overall reaction.

I agree with what you are saying—all of it actually. I would say the main difference I had with the film is that the two directors were at the screening and did a QA session right after and sort went into detail about why they made the movie (the details of which I am sure I will butcher…) But what really struck me is that they wanted to just create an honest war film that didn’t tell the story from either side of the political spectrum. I don’t think they were trying to make these people out to be heros, or bad guys. I remember sitting there once the film ended and thinking to myself….what was the point of that? Was someone suppose to win, or was I really suppose to feel something? And directly after thinking this…the directors said that their goal was to show one year in Afghanistan from a soldiers’ perspective. I think they did just that. I don’t remember feeling like I was being fed one side of a story, then the other side for contrast to be ‘fair’. I really felt like I was just watching people play out their lives as soldiers.

I don’t know…I just really enjoyed the perspective of seeing a war film that was actually real. The directors gave a very good insight into the movie directly afterwards which really enhanced the experience.

Also, they were in combat with those soldiers, and were in real life battles with only a camera, and no guns. They even joked at one point about how all the soldiers around them kept offering them guns because they were so crazy to be out in battle without one.

At any rate, I see what you mean, but still think it was something important to see.. I don’t think it will change anyone’s mind about the war, but gives a good insight into what really goes on in Afghanistan.
