Soon that pile will be so big that we can use it as a barrier to seal us off from the US completely.

I think there is only one store left near me that has them and it's more of a boutique grocery store rather than a large chain.
Had a similar looking style of toaster oven in the past, although I'm not sure if it was Oster or not. Either way, it had the exact same problem and was legitimately dangerous when the doors were open.
The doors were mechanically linked together so if you bumped a door by mistake then both would slam closed on your hand, hot metal and glass going into your skin. They also had to open 100% (which is rather wide, taking up a lot of space) or they would spring closed and, again, burn you.
One of the most annoying things in the world are American websites that claim to sell internationally but they only offer USD and all provided measurements are in American imperial.
Right up there with online stores that only have boxes for "state" and "zip code" even if the selected country doesn't use those.
The US has surrendered almost all of their manufacturing power and knowledge, absolutely kneecapped their education system(s), and stripped away most of its incentives and soft power projection. Trump certainly put the final nail in the coffin but the process has been ongoing for decades.
The US doesn't make anything and a lot of what it does make is bullshit like the entire corn industry. Much of the "value" in the US is speculative and, for lack of a better way of putting it, a complete and utter fantasy. As soon as that house of cards starts to become unstable and the world moves away from the USD then the US economy is going to implode so hard that it would make a black hole blush. They have less and less to bring to the table except their buying power and that is tumbling quickly as their wealth inequality shifts dramatically.
And that's before you even factor in the self-sabotage with things like the random tariffs every 15 minutes and constant threat of being arrested and thrown into a camp. There are companies in the US that have to do their business outside the US because they can't feasibly import product into their own country. It really is difficult to express just how badly the US has backed themselves into a corner.
The K980 ditches them in favor of making you install Logi Options Plus to find out. Boo.
Instant e-waste.
Shareholder-led design.
From a strategic perspective, it's probably best to hold off until they need that boost. Wait until it is closer to election time and then cancel it an ride the popularity surge through the polls. Cancelling it now would make a lot of people happy but won't last long.
I only ever go to a proper, sit-down restaurant like twice a year. Earlier in the spring, my dad got paid a reasonable amount for a big job so he took us both out for dinner at a average family restaurant. We each had some pasta with garlic bread.
After both meals, associated taxes, and tip were tallied up the bill was nearly $70CAD. For 2 pasta dishes in a casual restaurant.
I could not imagine paying those prices with any sort of frequency. Holy crap.
creation of a demilitarised Palestinian state.
That's a dumb thing to ask of a country that is currently undergoing genocide.
Get off America's dick.
There are so many options for fridges that don't have any tech in them at all. This is so easy to avoid.
