My local already has advent calendars and Christmas stuff out (only in one isle, not full- blown chraids yet)

Tell that to French old ladies. I’ve had the pleasure of waiting in line at the supermarket check out while Granny in front writes a cheque for her groceries, far more recently than you’d expect!

Bloody small cylinders, always getting stuck in things!

Or “if you think the reason for the result is not correct” could cover it.

Yeah we used to imagine a future where all the household tasks were done by robots, and we humans busied ourselves with intellectual work (e.g. The Jetsons).

But as it turns out, generating text and computer files is relatively easy for machines, but physical robotics in uncontrolled dynamic environments is a tough problem.

Did they take the half nearest the tip? Or was it a left/right split? Or top/bottom?

I think my fav option would be top, then you can just pull the hood over when you’re not using it. Although I can see an issue with it catching on things, and concentrations of stress at the corner of the join 😬
