Sandwich for lunch.
Gas operated dryers.
High school proms being such a big thing.
Gas operated dryers?!
Clothes dryers that use natural gas or propane to create heat and dry the clothes. There are parts of Europe where natural gas and propane are prohibitively expensive, and there is no distribution infrastructure for the fuels. Most European clothes dryers are electric, and clothes dryers in general are not particularly common.
I can honestly say I have never heard of a Gas operated dryers. In fact wacher and dryer use more much electrisity they have special plugs.
I've installed easily 200 dryers through my job and I've never encountered a gas powered one. I don't doubt that they exist, but must be a regional thing
Do you install them in the USA? You're probably right, it's probably regional based on the cost of gas. In PA, gas is cheap, and the dryers are more efficient so it costs a fraction of what an electric dryer costs to operate. So they are very common, maybe one in three or one in five homes has one.
Home Depot sells them.

They definitely exist in the US but they're not super common in any of the 5 states I've lived in...
That said, I've had one in a storage unit since my father in law passed away in 2015 in California.
Can't find anyone who wants to buy the darn thing because it's so rare for houses or apartments to actually have gas hookups for dryers though.
Da fuq is wrong with a sandwich for lunch?
Whats the correct time to have a sandwich then?
where I live, sandwich isn't really a lunch-like dish. it's okay for breakfest or dinner, but for lunch, usually we have cooked food. Soup and main course. My country is big in home made food.
Sandwich for lunch is just... doesn't really feel like a lunch here 😅
Ah. Our weekday Dinner is usually at suppertime or teatime here. Lunch is something quick to eat at work. Cook when we get home, our home-cooked meal is usually around 8pm in my house. Who is cooking these big home cooked meals so you can have dinner at lunch?
Now calories - wise, lunch is where it's at. I do usually eat the most calories mid-day (often leftovers from last night dinner) because I don't like to be full to sleep. But cook when I get home from work for a family meal, and have a nice small plate of good freshly cooked food.
UK enters the chat
Is that really a thing? I’ve been in the US practically my entire life and have never seen that.
don't know if it's regional or legacy thing, but yeah, it's real and I was just as buffled.
my thoughts were either electricity being/was expensive or the 120VAC wasn't quite suitable for the task, but then there's way to get 240VAC as well, so I'm maybe completely wrong on this.
Sounds super old, that’s wild. I thought club laundry at my apartment complex was antiquated; wow.
