I feel like I buried the lede. Here's the bathroom on the R/P FLIP, which rotates 90° & floods to produce a stable instrument platform.
The toilet swivels.
But honestly, you should see the *kitchen*.

French wine only exists today because of Texas.
Let's talk about the time that Texas rescued ALL of European wine production from oblivion.
As sailing ships were replaced by steamships, the trans-Atlantic travel time was cut from a month to less than two weeks. Great for passengers! ...

bringing a whole new meaning to "disney villain"
Disney is arguing that a man can't sue over the wrongful death of his wife because, in November 2019, he used his PlayStation to sign up for a free trial of Disney+ 🙃
If you're wondering 'how could they even think that,' the answer is 'bc of the Supreme Court'
