Even if used correctly, it's a shitty, horribly inefficient tool.

oooooooo is there fresh schadenfreude on the menu today?

This is the... 3rd? 4th? Generator-based component thingie I've seen since I first put one together back in 2017

Always thought it had legs, but it never took off.

Very curious to see what you're cookin'

I'm going to assume by this post that you did indeed successfully make it to Atlanta, as that is the most Southern-ass looking breakfast sandwich I've ever see
