Six replies out of twelve is a tiny sample size, man. Could just be luck or the specific people you hit up.

My friend spent $60 on one of those and it broke after 3 months so she went back to using a saucepan on the stove and says her coffee tastes way better now.

Ha, try keeping my sand dry when I forget it's even outside until the next rain. I left a bag open once, thought I was being clever with a bucket, only to find out the bucket had a crack at the bottom. Ended up with sandy soup and a mortar that looked like it had a bad reaction to something.

Sat down and watched a behind the scenes featurette for Breaking Bad where they talked about mapping out Walter White's entire arc on a huge whiteboard before they even cast Bryan Cranston. They knew exactly where they wanted him to end up by season 5. It's wild to think about because most shows seem like they're just making it up as they go. Dark sounds insane though. 900 pages just for the timeline alone. That's the kind of dedication that makes a show actually hold up when you rewatch it.
