"Going in for a closer look."

Yep, I'm well aware that I'm privileged. I'm concerned about the world my kids will live in as they grow up.

This sounds like retirement.

The YouTube channel The Tim Traveller has covered a few (along with a bunch of other esoteric sights, I really enjoy his stuff).

When we built this house we specified power outlets in each toilet for exactly this reason. The low light levels from the motion sensor lamps we have don't sear your eyeballs when you get up in the middle of the night to pee.

I am choosing to interpret the instructions as dumping a full bottle of pancake mix into the rice cooker, cook twice, then tip out the resulting pancake-cake and slice it up thinly like a pressed ham. I guess slice extra thinly for crepes?

Different models, not a straight badge swap. Loads of platform & parts sharing between the companies though.

I always lean towards Bosch where possible, mainly because of their charitable work. The founder set things up so that it's perpetually funded from the company profits. That just appeals to me as the tiebreaker when deciding between a bunch of similarly priced tools that will otherwise do the job well enough.

That said, I tend to go for corded options where practical. I have some corded tools that I've owned for over thirty years now that still get occasional use. Battery tools are convenient for their portability, but they do have a limit to their useful life.

We have Volkswagen and Skoda at our place and there are a lot of common parts under the skin. The towbar electrics module I added to the Skoda is badged Audi.

Maybe somewhere in all this stuffing about with Keep they can add the ability to sort lists.

Mine was similar. As a teenager I used to make sandwiches as you describe with instant coffee granules instead of sugar. The granules would dissolve into the butter to form a brown caffeinated sludge. Yummo!
