@BlackAzizAnansi Before Google Calendar fully supported scheduling in multiple time zones, I was an editor managing writers in various time zones. This made scheduling a giant pain in the backside. One day I tweeted my frustration about it, and Neil Gaiman responded to me via DM. He said his son was on the Calendar team at Google, and that he'd ask him about it because he had the same issue. He asked his son, then DM'ed back and walked me through setting things up.

@LadyDragonfly @BlackAzizAnansi That had to be immensely validating. So wonderful...

@Vai Does your stove have electric heating elements that are basically spirals? If so, you can buy new elements for like $10-$15. You just unplug the old ones and plug in the new ones.

Not-a-Pro tip: Unplug the stove when you replace them. The first time I replaced one, I forgot to unplug the stove, and when I was removing the old element, I saw an electrical arc, then the kitchen power went off. I stood there blinking in the dark, scared, but grateful I didn't electrocute myself.

@WTL Whichever one is the most powerful. For my current and 2 previous stoves that's the front right. The two smaller, less powerful ones in the back are basically trivets. I set things that have been cooked on the front burners on them.

Now I feel sorry for the back burners. I've neglected them all these years, and being the inanimate objects they are, they obviously they feel it.
