It sounds odd to me! Electric kettles have been ubiquitous here for
decades. It sounds very strange to hear them talked about as something
unusual. We do have a gas kettle but it is only used if something happens
to the electricity

Directly on the gas stove cooktop, obviously.

Out power was out for nearly a week last year, so I dug out my ancient
non-electric kettle. It hadn't been used in years - what I didn't know,
was that it had been oxidising, and when I put it on the hob, a teensy
pinhole leak put out the gas...fortunately I noticed before anything
dreadful could happen.

We now have a new kettle for emergency use.

I'm surprised you don't know that adoptive mothers can and do
breastfeed adopted infants.

Induced lactation is not new, it's been going on for centuries.

Well under 100% of birth mothers breast feed.

Yes it can, but as you say, I wouldn't like to have that treatment.

With hormonal treatments males can breast feed too... at one time long
long ago they probably did, that's probably why they have nipples.

For me it was the lazy persons way, as well as all the good reasons!
Breast feed until they are old enough to have cow's milk without
sterilisng bottles.

Mind you, breast feeding can be very difficult at times and some women
can just not produce the amount, or any milk, but every day that you
can is of benefit to the child's immune system.

Many nursing mothers express milk into bottles and store it in the
fridge to use at those inconvenient times... what do you think breast
pumps are for?

What old days... there are still wet nurses, more than ever .

I've used an electric kettle for several decades. The first one I had
was a heavy stainless steel one made in England, was fairly pricey,
can't remember the brand now, but it didn't last more than five years
before it burned out. Then I bought a BrAun, been working great for
like 30 years now... holds 7 cups... boils a full pot in a few
minutes, barely enough time to set out the cups and saucers. I no
longer have a stovetop kettle, but having a gas stove I can boil water
without electric so can use any pot... I bought a Farberware
percolator specifically so I can have coffee during a power outage,
works as a tea kettle too. I think the Farberware percolator makes
better coffee than my ADC and would use it all the time, but it's sort
of a pain to clean, and I have to be there to lower the heat when it
begins to perk so it doesn't boil over. But the Farberware percolater
makes great coffee with less grinds, fills the house with great aroma,
and looks sexy too... built to last, like the proverbial brick
house... and priced right:

This used to be my coffee pot but in recent years I have gone off strong
stuff and I use a filter now.

There can be no doubt there are review trolls. Ppl with a grudge or
nothing better to do than skew review polls to the negative. OTOH,
while I'm sure many Viet nail salons are jes fine, there are also many with
serious problems. The number of fungus outbreaks at Viet nail salons
reached almost epidemic proportions in CA. If I recall, ppl actually
died from flesh eating bacteria, in some cases. Still, gotta take
into acct the press being less than honest.

There are many sites that have what they flag as "authenticated buyer"
and I guess the competition could buy something to be flagged that way,
but you're supposed to look for that flag to make sure the reviewer
actually bought the product.
