SO MANY of you idiots are saying (and thinking) dumb things, playing right into the hands of those who are better at FUD than you are. It's really difficult to not get into useless arguments about it. If you were only just a little bit smarter you'd see it. Mostly it makes me sad.

This giant buckwheat pillow is my desk seat/cushion. I just added a few more kilos of buckwheat because it was underfilled. It probably weighs something like 15 kilos now. (Foot for scale.)
