    Terrific!

    Just get them to stop hawking their Amazon affiliated crap. Sheesh, every "must have" item they try to promote turns out to be 4 star rubbish. It's like they don't even check the reviews before posting.

    Dear 2020,

    Wrong hole.

    Sincerely, everybody in the world.

    Happy Friday Miss C. And congrats on Boing Boing - part of the Bezos empire, but that's ok - once the reader is aware.
