It will obviously not last forever. Nothing will. But if you can extend its life then it has less impact than if you can’t. Each part put individually into a landfill or recycled represents an entire air fryer saved from the landfill.

I have Nest smoke detectors, and I just love them. They let me know when my dinner is ready with a gentle “Smoke is building up in the kitchen” announcement

Okay, I interpreted their policy all wrong. I thought, “That makes sense. Bar a few people who don’t really _need_ a place to stay, so that you have some extra rooms to loan to precariously housed folks.”

According to my conservative friend, the inability to selectively disagree is an inherent aspect of wokeness. (Never mind that his brand of Christianity has been doing the same thing since time immemorial.)

Yes, and better parking facilities. Why not require a proportion of parking space dedicated to some form of secure bike parking?
