6:40 pm PDT (which is actually 2:40pm NZ time) is *way too early* to go to bed.

Wow I slept amazingly well, and got up at a reasonable time! Cool, good start.
But another thing I'll miss about NZ (not unique to NZ): electric kettles boil water SO much faster! Miss that 230V already...
@sundogplanets I have a completely unhinged suggestion

@va2lam @sundogplanets One of the things that I like about the Zojirushi water boilers is they have a built-in "cleaning" mode that works really well on scale from hard water. They sell cleaning packets that you add, then start the cleaning cycle, wait a while, dump it out and rinse it.
The cleaning packets are just citric acid, so now I just buy the bulk stuff online and use that instead; much cheaper, and also useful elsewhere in the house!
@andrew @sundogplanets brilliant!

@sundogplanets One of the best purchases I’ve ever made since returning to Canada is one of these Japanese Zojirushi water boilers. The vacuum-insulated ones keep water at almost boiling using almost no energy, which is a great help for my “multiple cups of tea a day” habit

@pooserville
What do you usually have for induction stoves?
In Germany it's not the usual 230V but 400V (for all electric stoves, although you can also buy some for 230V).@papperlapapp @sundogplanets My understanding is that 240v is the standard here in the US, but I'm not sure.
