- Re: capping the gas, robert
- Do you need to have the plumber cap the gas pipe going to the stove before the electric stove is installed? If so, we'll probably experience a period without a stove. Should be interesting.

- Re: capping the gas, robert
- Yep, got it. Seems like a straightforward operation once we need it. Let's hope we can time it so that we are without a stove for the least amount of time.

Re: Antoni, robert

Re: Amsterdam's squatter wars, robert

Re: Trump Tariffs and Stagflation: Why TACO is the Least Bad Option (fwd), robert
