For at least 7 years I’ve been trying to decide if I have room in my life for an Instant Pot and now I’m so grateful to whatever spidey sense told me: no.

I agree, but try substituting a precious food item for the word “cake.” Last year I was reaching the bottom of a jug of one-of-kind handmade maple syrup, sad to see it go, and said, “I guess you can’t have your syrup and eat it too”. It was the first time the idiom resonated for me.

I don’t fit the model (I work in university publishing, currently) but just wanted to say this is a fantastic idea. I can imagine a future me that would want to participate. The Old Web is so appealing.
