Got into an interesting discussion on what matters in communication.

Nuance gets missed a lot when people tell half-truths. For instance, an astonishing amount of folks say they want gas as their heating system because of power outages.

Most gas-fired systems still need electricity to operate. Which, anyone who has lived with one during a power outage, already knows.

That half-truth is that a gas-fired system can more easily be supplied with emergency power. But most people don't have that.

@TechConnectify I have 2 gas powered items: the combi boiler and the cooker. Only the cooker runs with out electricity *nods* My boiler needs mains for the pump, the igniter, the safety interlock... Yeah, that's not doing anything in a power cut
