Got my wife one recently. She like the yoga bits, in guess. But, it’s in the closet.

Wii is still set up…what games are you digging?

Do you think it’s poor branding in Maduro’s part, or branding that got applied to him for other purposes?

How do you see the impact of the oil resources impacting this as compared to Peru or El Salvador?

This is another really good reason to be upset with the 10 yr warranty. It implies a longevity well beyond what this product can do.

And the waste. My god the waste. Piles upon piles of unrecyclable petroleum derived foam. Ok, in relative terms to our modern lifestyle it fits right in, but that’s not good.

And if it lasts half as long as they say, and they won’t touch it at the end of its life, what does that say?!

Fair point. It lasted 4-5 years solid. 6-8 clearly rapid failure.

Quickly is relative to the 10 year warranty.

I paid (usd 5k plus - king size) with a warranty in mind. Was told ‘our material is different, worth it’ - Full sales job. I’m technical, but details matter and they’re proprietary. I trusted the warranty + brand, which was a bad, expensive move.

Realistic expectations - memory foam lasts 4-5 years, more or less depending on pressure and humidity, and should be priced accordingly. YSK!

Thanks. Turns out I’m also mattress shopping! Appreciate the alternative option.

Turns out this is also the answer to the Fermi paradox. We’re quarantined.

Funny similar to mine.

We’re all assholes, just have to figure out what kind of asshole you want to be.

You should know the origin, and surprise - it’s Latin!

Per wikipedia: "The actual origin is unknown, but one of the first appearances of the word was in a second-century work by Roman physician Serenus Sammonicus… who in chapter 52 prescribed that malaria sufferers wear an amulet containing Abracadabra written in the form of a triangle.[12][13]

The power of the amulet, he claimed, makes lethal diseases go away."
