I’m not aware of any modern residential gas stoves which use a pilot, they use a spark to ignite on demand. Commercial ranges sometimes have a pilot though.
It’s still relatively common to have a pilot in a gas water heater or furnace though.
All of the wine being discussed in this thread comes from the blue counties just north of San Francisco.
Harris won Sonoma county 72% to 25% Trump
Harris won Napa county 64% to 33% Trump
California as a whole voted for Harris 58% to 38% Trump. The wine producing counties actually voted more blue than the average in a DEEP blue state.
This is being coordinated and cheered on by users on enormous online platforms. If there was one or two fires in a single city or even state then I’d agree the FBI probably wouldn’t even take a look.
However given the very public and national nature of these targeted events, they’re going to have a plausible excuse to investigate this as domestic terrorism.
I’m not endorsing the FBI, or calling this terrorism, just stating how it’s being handled by law enforcement.
That said, folks should know that even a small platform like Lemmy is crawling with glowies, be careful.

I’m not sure if natural gas in California is expensive compared to other areas, but I have natural gas in my heater, water heater, laundry, stove, and oven and I pay less than $30/month. My electricity bill is an order of magnitude higher each month and there’s only two people in my household and we don’t even have an AC or electric vehicle.
