I bought my wife the hairdryer (with some trepidation over the price). It has improved MY life because it is so much quieter. I hate the shrieking noise of typical hairdryer

For everything you included and contracting most of it out I’m amazed at how cheap this was. Nice job

I did not read the press release, but this made me chuckle remembering 10 years ago when Asana was the 2nd coming, wrote “their own web framework” etc

The FDA did this to us by outlawing effective but problematic products and replacing them with relatively safe but ineffective products. And then letting product makers off the hook on claims and pricing

Maybe someone already said this but my pet peeve is restrictions on wireless CarPlay. We have a top of the line Kia Telluride that only has wired CarPlay. Then we rented a crappy Kia sedan on vacation and it had wireless. Apparently the developer of Telluride’s fancy built in navigation system prohibits wireless CarPlay

Do you want to create websites or learn to create websites. If the former, WP is fine.

This reminded me of Magic Alex who conned The Beatles into a job as the electronics director at Apple (music not computers) in the early 1970s. Some of his claimed inventions were:
“telephone that responded to its owner's voice and could identify who was calling,[10] a force field that would surround the Beatles' homes, an X-ray camera, paint that would make anything invisible, car paint that would change colour by flicking a switch, and WALLPAPER SPEAKERS,[11] which would actually be a part of the wallpaper.”

I worked in b2b publishing for a while. Magazines are just ad delivery systems so they need to sell ads. But ad buyers need to sell their product too and and their job is to buy ads. They can’t go back at the end of the year and tell their boss “look at all the money I saved by not advertising“.
