I haven't used Torrents in years, since subscribing to Netflix. But I'm fed up with needing to pay 5+ different subscriptions to get coverage across shows, so perhaps time to think about other options. What are some of the best torrent sites today,?

The main advantage for gas isn't speed, it's control. I have both gas and electric, standard halogen etc type stoves are junk compared to the fine (also instant, consistent, and reliably easy to gauge) control that gas hobs provide. Not to mention a very even heat . But I agree modern induction finally provide that similar level of control (though the one induction hob I've used, while excellent granular control, did seem to heat unevenly requiring the pan to be regularly turned to avoid one-sided burning).

History has shown that this will not be the case. I remember watching an ancient black and white TV news reel clip interviewing a factory owner about automation being introduced. He said in future that automation will allow people to work 4 days per week and still allow the company to be profitable and employees happy and well paid. Of course, companies just used such innovations to turbo boost their productivity and therefore profits. Won't be any change this time around.

Beekeeping. It gets expensive very fast and doesn't seem to ease year on year
