Visions brand cooking ware using glass-ceramics are even better.

I love my visions brand stuff, calexium is a really neat material and I wish they still made the full line.

E: and yeah, once Corning sold the Pyrex brand it was slapped on a bunch of soda-lime glass cookware that has nothing to do with the original pyrex product line.

Isn’t glass stovetop cookware bad at conducting heat? I’ve never used the stuff

It's not great honestly and schad on anyone who uses it to try to do high heat cooking but the aesthetic can't be beat.

As someone who grew up surrounded by knob and tube and who learned all her important electrical lessons helping her dad replace it before spending years working as a commercial electrician I'm probably not as freaked out as I should be about any of these. Well, besides the gas line as the grounding conductor, that could end very poorly if they didn't misinterpret a metal gas line being bonded to ground (good and required by code) as the pipe being the grounding conductor for the house (bad and forbidden by code.)

It's someone trying to claim that lazy counterfeiting is actually a systematic attempt on the part of a country to deceive other people, so yes. You should be suspicious for the same reason you'd be suspicious of a U1 logo where a UL logo should be, not because it's some "china export" nonsense.

Clown answer: crack the cover plate and pop it over the cord.

That would work except the box is recessed behind the plywood so you can't install the plate without first installing a box extension and moving the receptacle out to be flush.

I guess if it weren't one of those right angle plugs you could just have the plate sit on there, partially screwed in, 1/2" out from the face of the receptacle, but that's still loving bullshit (and a fire hazard)

Yeah you can get god's own 240 on an american split phase system by going hot to hot instead of hot to neutral.

That said, the trick with our wimpy power is to use something like a Zojirushi boiler that holds the water at 195°F instead of warming it up from cold every time.

All of the outlets at my job are like this, but our electrical contractor is top notch and doesn’t cut corners. Not sure how widespread it is in practice.

It's extremely common in commercial and extremely rare in residential in my experience. Some places have local amendments that make it mandatory in one or both types of construction but mostly it's just contractor preference.
