my toaster is pretty crappy - i'd buy your toaster!
my list of complaints
- strong smell of chemicals when i first started using it
- can be hard to remove things without burning myself e.g. english muffins
- sometimes it burns things/sometimes it doesn't toast them enough. i have figured out which settings work for some common use cases, but it feels like a toaster should be able to figure it out w/out crazy complexity.
Anecdotally, NYC feels less safe than it has ever felt (in my 20+ yrs of being here). Most of the issues are not reportable crimes/would not be taken seriously by today's NYPD e.g. verbal harassment on the street, following, punching, etc. So while i'm sure i'm in the minority, i hope this leads to more policing.
A large portion of their plants is offline at any time. For various reasons, some regular maintenance, some not so regular, some safety related. For me the big takeaway is that the reliability and safety on paper is never the complete picture, even before unforeseen accidents or malice eventually do happen.
Another problem was that recruitment and education of nuclear engineers isn't going that well either.
my car from 2010 had a screen that felt really outdated. i removed it and installed a bluetooth system that just has an on/off/volume knob. this feels a lot more modern and has made night driving a lot easier on my eyes.
also, and this is just my opinion, but the absence of plane crashes does not mean it's safe! some faulty things exist for years before anything happens and/or the issue is noticed.
