The OSHA limit for CO2 is 5000PPM for 8 hours. So 1400 while you boil the water for your Kraft Mac and Cheese is basically nothing. The CO level would be the number I would be looking at.

I kind of liked technology connections. I'm subbed to him on YouTube and his videos were interesting for the most part. I did get some lefty vibes from him but never ventured to read his Twitter.
RE carbon dioxide, you really only notice it at above 3000ppm for prolonged periods. You might get a slight headache if you notice anything at all and go outside for a few breaths and you are ok. 5000ppm is the 8h limit, but for limited exposure I think it goes up to 8000ppm (edit looked it up: The most widely recognized exposure limits for CO2 reference an 8-hour Time-Weighted Average (TWA) of 5,000 ppm, with a 15-minute Short-Term Exposure Limit (STEL) of either 15,000 ppm or 30,000 ppm)
The average person burning a gas stove for cooking at most for 30m-1h a day isn't going to feel anything. Heck office buildings can get up to a 1000ppm or more just from people.
My solution, buy some plants like peace lilly or pothos to offset the CO2 production. If you're too scared of a gas stove, don't buy one.

The key issue with the approach behind people pushing induced demand is they operate from a fundamentally faulty assumption: that adding highway lanes is meant to reduce congestion on the highway itself.
It isn't. It's to reduce congestion everywhere else because the highway soaks up all the people who were using various alternate routes. Heavy congestion on non-freeway arterial roads, massive queues at stoplights, dumbasses blocking lights because they misread how much space was on the other side, all around pedestrains, cyclists, existing public transit, etc. is massively more annoying and honestly should piss of the people who reflexively hate cars way more than "grr I can only go 15mph on the highway". Hell, if they want to bitch about pollution, spreading slow cars and their exhaust throughout the city instead of limiting it to the one highway is probably a bigger public health hazard.

Quick, nobody tell him that a classroom routinely hits CO2 levels of over 5,000ppm, or else he'll be demanding we outlaw public schooling and universities!!!
Seriously though, if he got on a treadmill he'd raise the CO2 level in the room to higher levels than that gas stove does. CO2 doesn't even effect you until over 3,000ppm, which is why people get headaches or become tired during a professor's lecture. If he adds a houseplant to his room, he'll be shocked how effectively it controls both the CO2 and the humidity. Instead of pushing more anti-Asian propaganda (the real reason for this sudden attempt to ban gas stoves is to hurt cultures that use stir-fry cooking methods), he could just advocate for more house plants and indoor gardening setups.
I think his severely smug autism has been pretty thoroughly covered on the "Youtubers teetering on the edge of cowdom" thread for his twitter rants. He was very prone to political hot takes and pushing the whole trans-rights thing or anything else that went trendy. He locked his account last month over his undying hatred of Elon Musk, but I guess that didn't last.
Edit: Oh, I didn't realize that was a Mastodon account. I guess he went there to sperg out now that Twitter is Musk's domain. LOL

There's simply no replacement to cooking certain dishes on an open flame. Kebabs and smoked fish are an example. Sautes of all types and basically any bbq.

On that topic, from whatever experience I have, even when cooking with a pan, gas stoves just get hotter faster.

Anyone that quotes themselves (especially in, say, a forum signature) is guaranteed to be an insufferable asshole.
He also shouldn't be EVER complaining about elevated carbon dioxide levels if he still voluntarily wears a mask when going out in public.

Cretins. The Royal Navy routinely allows 3000 ppm in its nuclear submarines, places where, if CO2 were really so dangerous at such concentrations, you would expect a much more strict limit. I understand the USN is similar.Unsurprisingly Jason and fellow cow Technology Connections support banning gas stoves:
Even then, the issue isn't so much the high CO2 as it is the relative reduction of oxygen. It doesn't have to go much below 20% for mild symptoms, such as headache and drowsiness, to start appearing. If you maintain an oxygen level of around 20.5% to 21%, you could have significantly higher levels of CO2 and experience few issues. Worriers and poorly-educated climate-change activists like to do experiments where they sit in a sealed tent or room, and measure the CO2 level while describing how their executive function is starting to fail because of the rising CO2, at levels as low as 1000ppm (which is less than you'd find in a good greenhouse). They don't measure the oxygen and don't account for the fact that they're consuming it fairly rapidly.

He's freaking out over half of what's allowed on a nuclear sub, a literal tube designed to stay submerged as long as the rations hold out. He'd hate welding, do you know how much argon a basic mig welder can put out? Enough to do actual damage if you don't have proper ventilation. Learned that the hard way when I accidentally switched off the vacuum in my booth. Payed for that foolishness, lost my voice for over a month. A gas stove is literally nothing. Fuck off.

I think all of this is glossing over a simple point.
If something is a danger to others, yes there's a case that it might be good to ban it.
If something is a danger mostly to the user, and only in a very obvious way that everyone understands, why bother?

His response: “sounds like we need to ban welding as well!”
Ignore that bughive skyscrapers, buses, bikes, trains, and tracks are impossible to build without welding; instead think about how we’ll protect the environment and improve the workers’ health!

They'd have to go back to rivets, a heavier, bulkier form of construction that can turn into shrapnel if hit with sufficient force. As long as you have proper ventilation and aren't a dumbass-like I was-, either with a vacuum system or being in a open area like the outdoors, you're safe.
Funnily enough Co2 is used as a Shielding gas because it's cheap. Not as good as argon or helium, but it works.

How is Technology Connections an urban planning channel and how does gas stoves have anything to do with it?
Anyways, back on topic, as a city cuck I bike to work because I'm too poor to afford parking and I get by just fine even in one of these evil car centric cities. The secret is to just buy a class 3 ebike. No registration and you can easily keep up with traffic on congested inner-city streets with little effort. As an additional W I have a folding bike I just take to my desk at work and leech off the electricity there so it's totally free to ride. The reason the eurocucks these fags envy so much haven't really taken the ebike pill is because Bosch lobbied their tyrannical government into banning ebikes that are actually fast.
Another thing I never really see them mention is motorcycles which are far more space efficient than cars are and are really light on emmisions. That said electric motorcycles are a meme and I think leftists have this weird idea that driving a motorcycle is essentially a suicide attempt so idk.
One massive downside to both is that on a long enough timeline your ride is gonna get stolen which will offset all cost savings you ever really had with them which is a huge turnoff to most people. No bike lock will save you.

He's not really but he's tangentially related to Jason. Especially since both of them melted down and moved to Mastodon out of fears of evil Tesla man or something. Banning gas stoves is just another example of climate fearmongering that's also pervasive around fuckcars.
To its credit r/fuckcars' FAQ page mentions motorcycles but it's neutral on them, saying they're better than cars but still worse than biking/walking/transit.

Oh good gravy! I'm fearing for my life!
That's what they do. They half understand the problem and base all their fear on that partial understanding. Yes, the level of CO2 in your house did increase by 50%, but that still represents barely a percent of the actual air in your home. It's still levels far below what's considered unsafe. Even outdoors the background level is still about 400 parts per million. But all that matters to them is "oh no, the number went up! i'm going to assume that it's disastrous even though i don't actually know what the repercussions are!" If a slightly elevated indoor CO2 level was some horrible thing causing thousands of deaths it would have been regulated decades ago. There's reasons you're required to have carbon monoxide alerts and not carbon dioxide alerts.
Man that sucks. I thought Technology Connections was cool and I've been watching him since his Figaro was on Aging Wheels' channel. An autist rambling about obsolete technology is right up my alley, personally. I suspected he was a leftist but didn't think about it much since he mostly kept it off his Youtube. I had no idea he was such a chode on Twitter.

As someone who has taken transit for a long time, what a terrible fucking take. Having to get off in between stops because of some homeless schizo or jogger endangering me and others is exactly what I DON'T want to be doing in the first place. Also what makes you think the next bus is going to have the same problem? Or the next one? Or the next one? Do you not think that these same crazies will just simply hop on the next one if they get kicked out?
Also good luck trying to get the transit systems to add more service because the ones in my area have been doing the exact opposite and cutting MORE.
The responses to the pro-police replies are cute. "Lol just pay drivers more + more benefits sweety" I'm pretty sure you could pay them more than big tech and people still wouldn't bother applying because of the shit they have to put up with.

Since this is the fuckcars thread I figured I'd check what the CO2 levels look like on public transit, yep, you guessed it levels above their house with a gas stove. And you know what makes it worse, MORE PEOPLE. Especially in their favorite anti-car countries like China: "The CO2 concentration in subway cars of the underground line in the morning peak is significantly higher than 1500 ppm," And also the wonderful transit utopia of South Korea: "Park & Ha measured CO2 in the Seoul subway system at an average concentration of 1,775 ppm" I can't find researched numbers for CO2 in NYC but the PM2.5 numbers are: "concentration was 3.5 to 20 times higher than on street level"

So, the obvious solution is to ban public transit if you want to ban gas stoves.
