POV: You spend five hours ripping, rigging, and weight mapping a gorgeous DAI chantry door in Daz—the main door, the inlay, the handle, that fancy little peep door—only to realize this bitch could never physically open.

The little tendrils from the sun relief? Those extend PAST the door jam. The door sits FLUSH with said jam. You couldn't fit paper between them. Which is a problem because the door opens *inward* not *outward*. This door's entire existence violates the laws of physics.

Gods bless whoever modeled this knowing full well it makes zero structural sense.

American electric kettles are slow because American houses are wired for 110 volt electrical sockets. Whereas UK sockets are 220 volts. UK kettles have literally twice the power as American ones.

I'm aware of that, and in fact said so just after the first picture. In that same paragraph you'll see something which had nothing to do with US vs UK power.

According to the American review of American kettles running on American voltage, one kettle (OXO Brew Adjustable Temperature Electric Pour-Over Kettle, $105-135) boiled water much faster than another (Fellow Corvo EKG Electric Kettle, $150-200).

How much faster? A few seconds? Nope, a full three-and-a-half minutes: 4 min 12 sec compared to 7 min 42 sec. Come on!

Waiting for nearly eight minutes - though the review states that this is "still faster than most stovetops", that's no compliment - defeats the reason for buying an electric kettle in the first place, and that electric kettle in particular.

Calling it "a beautiful kettle for your countertop" means nothing if it doesn't do its job, and IMO an asking price of $150-plus for such an inefficient contraption is daylight robbery.

The weather outside is frightful.... but not intimidating enough to make someone commit to the puffy coat.

Beautiful vintage Wollensak Magnetic Tape Recorder at thrift. 1950s?? I was so enamored by the classic styling I forgot to look! oh well. Heavy beast for sure. Take a moment to savor the pill-shaped grill vents that are slightly angled. And the dials have a clear cover over a metallic base. Amazing. Ergonomics be damned - whoever designed this set wanted it to pop in style!
