… train a cat to make a pot of coffee in the morning.

…Build a coffee maker that doesn’t make noises like a baby elephant with a runny nose.

My slow cooker has an off setting, but no power on light. If it’s on, I can’t tell from across the room.

These two manufacturers really need to compare notes.

They can do it.

They just don’t want to. :smiley:

but it will take three days for your funds to clear.
