Dualit classic toaster. Was replacing Breville and other brand toasters every 18 months or so.

Dualit cost more than twice my previous fancy units. So far, it has lasted 5 years, of nearly twice daily use. All parts repairable or replaceable, but haven't needed to yet.

If we implement an effective mitigation measure for global warming, why would those who profit from emitting CO2 feel any urgency to stop?

Despite the potential usefulness, i suspect it would find justification to allow continuation of fossil fuel consumption.

Australia has so called "clean skin" wines. Plain bottles with only the region and grape type.

Large volumes of surplus wine gets sold like this so the big brands can manage their brand value.

It's pot luck what you get, but sometimes it's gold and it's nearly always half decent.

Keeping their options open for an exit strategy. Must be for their domestic consumption
