It’s always the ones you most suspect

This. Why would all dinosaurs taste the same? All birds don’t taste the same, and they pretty much are dinosaurs.

Also, I bet that those ancient dinosaurs tasted a lot more wild and gamey than some farm-bred chicken.

You guys here are hella weird. Back when I was your age, we just did drugs.

1. It’s not a race.
2. Lots of people are having that conversation.

A third of Americans are delusional

OK… But have you tried it?

I look up everything interesting that occurs to me on Wikipedia so I know a lot of shit about random topics.

This is a very valuable habit.

I learned this when I was a kid, and the only problem is that nowadays, I haven’t seen a pencil nor its eraser and probably 15 years.

Still, a pretty great tip!

Even if you weren’t running a dictatorship, whatever it is you were running would be a terrible thing with a job that you would hate. And everyone would hate you, too. Especially if you did a good job and fixed things.

See, this is the reason why I want nothing to do with the job

I mean… I can appreciate the position, but I’d rather be fucking dead than be the president. That is a shitty, thankless job, and I want nothing to do with it.

This country needs a major overhaul, and I don’t want to be the public face of it that all of the crazies want to kill.

Cry some more and then tell me how you’re better than me

Go on. You sound like you’re used to lying to yourself.

Keep crying.

Even this meme is a worse story than the last movie this asshole was in

OH, THE TERROR!!!

Yeah, but I’m sure those two dudes have fucked. There’s only so bad I can feel for them.

Oh, I see. Yeah, I misunderstood. Thanks for clearing that up.

Considering that heat rises, I’d be pretty surprised if the heating element for an electric kettle was anywhere but beneath the tank. It wouldn’t work very well otherwise, unless you used a much more expensive method of heating it all around., But even then, there would still be heating elements underneath.

A good way to improve efficiency there, would be to insulate the tank to reduce heat dissipation in the first place.

what you’re describing is an oven with a heat pump. industrial-grade ovens like this exist, but they don’t really exist in the home appliance market as the amount of energy recaptured at that scale would be negligable. it’s easiere (and cheaper) to make ovens more energy efficient in other ways.

there are a number of other home appliances (washers, dryers, and dishwashers), however, which use inverter heat pumps to recapture/recycle heat, thus increasing energy efficiency by quite a lot.
