Surprised to see this here. Toone has been working on a production model for ~4 years now — hopefully it will arrive soon, as the customs are usually made of fine recovered woods, …

In addition to latinos and vegans, there is a likely explosion of ketogenic eaters to come very soon, thanks to all the research pilling up about the great benefits of being in ket…
