>>why does everything have to have tradeoffs, this is not a goddamn strategy game, why can't things just *work*
This is a terrible truth isn't it. It's fascinating to me, the implied development that subtly exists or fails to exist in all these little technologies.
(I'm thinking, here, of all the little distinctions between here and home, the way that clearly [someone in] Norway has put some different thought into what ought to be standard for a dozen little implements of life. Often they're improvements! Which makes me sad more than anything, that such things are not universal, despite the smallness of the things at hand. I'm talking about, like - Norwegian showers (Or at least, the one at my hotel and the one at my apartment both) are set up to have one knob for temperature and one for intensity, rather than one for hot water and one for cold. It's very useful!)
