  • I do have a knotty shag looking bath mat, but it gets hung over the side of the tub after each shower and thrown in the wash with towels every week. It’s just a cheap thing from ikea, but matches my (more expensive) towels

    I used to have towel ones but a little cushion is better.

    I primarily look for no backing . While non-slip is certainly important, I prioritize something flexible enough to hang over the edge of the tub and that can be washed frequently without falling apart. I’m not sure what athletics people get up to that need the rubber backing anyway





  • It’s been difficult to find manual transmisssions for a couple of decades here in the US. That ship has sailed.

    While most of my life I vowed my kids would learn manual, I gave up on that idea because

    • manual transmission cars are rare and disappearing
    • automatics now are more fuel efficient
    • CVT are reliable and even more efficient
    • EVs don’t shift

    My kids started driving in a world of automatics and will soon be in a world with no transmissions
