    That could also be explained by left handed people wanting to join in on the vegetable peeling fun.

    I've tried both. Standing is clearly easier. There are three main parameters: stand/sit, front-to-back/back-to-front, front-access/reverse-access (i.e. between the legs or behind t…

    My partner had a similar experience. Bought new Converse shoes which were specifically marketed as walking shoes. 5-6 weeks of ~20 minutes moderate walking per day and they both ha…

    BMW's heated seats are $589 upfront or $29 per month here. Auto loan rates are about 7% p/a. On a 5 year loan of $589, you'd pay $700 including interest. Plus you might recoup some…

    Anyone who has used ChatGPT should be able to see what's happening here. You can get it to "admit" just about anything if you ask enough leading questions.

    Maybe we're almost up to "physical buttons = retro cool"? I'm certainly ready for that.
