"excellent wines" or a great example of a wasteful gift because excellent wines aren't substantially better than OK wines, unless you are a wine enthusiast (not just a wine drinker). It's like giving out RTX 3080s en masse. Most people won't get the value of what you spent.

And excellent wine can be a lot better than an OK wine for a similar cost. I think it's a perfect example where some expertise can dramatically increase the value. For wine drinkers, at least.

>The thoughtfulness and kindness what makes a gift, a gift. That gift is priceless for me from now on. It can be a mug, it can be a pin, it can be a watch, or anything. Have a 75-year old friend that thought exactly like this and because of it, her house ended up being cluttered with tons of cat trinkets that she didn't want because her coworkers happen to find out "she likes cats" .

Sorry about that ya'll. We're back up now. The eng team was extremely confused about what had broken our webflow setup (we do some magic with Cloudflare workers to point our marketing pages at at Webflow with a custom domain)... and then I saw that we were frontpage.

Can ya fix the scrolling on your site? I don't understand the point of changing browser scrolling.

It sounds like you are allergic to something else if every restaurant you go to has "cross contamination issues".

Butter is everywhere in restaurants, that could be a big issue, especially in higher-end restaurants. And "fast casual" places tend to have some kind of cheese at the counter. I have celiac disease, so I also have a lot of issues with cross contamination at restaurants, and I have problems similar to GP. I can usually eat at restaurants, but I need to ask a lot of questions and/or make sure I go when they aren't busy…
