I had this exact issue on my Pixel 6 Pro! I thought it was done for but it seems to have recovered over the last few months and I don't see it anymore.

> And there is a fantastic audiobook on audible.

Unfortunately it seems like the audiobook has been pulled from Audible! (Unless I'm just searching for it incorrectly?) I saw this book recommended in another thread and have been checking over the last several months in hopes that it has been restored, but no luck yet. Tempted to just buy it from another platform.

Anecdotally, I gave Dvorak a try and became somewhat proficient, but ultimately reverted back to QWERTY for one reason: keyboard shortcuts! Control-C|V|Z are all transformed into either two-handed shortcuts or right-handed shortcuts. In either case, I can't copy/paste while selecting text with the mouse (since I'm right-handed).

I now use Colemak (https://colemak.com/) which doesn't have this issue and I'm quite happy with!

Think I found a bug! Left the tab (on Firefox mobile on Android) and then revisited it, and now it says: "Perfect landing, incredible, you can't get better than this" with a score of 102.3 (I'm assuming 100 is supposed to be the max score?).

As silly as it sounds, this water warmer for baby bottles: https://a.co/d/hhJzLBn

Nothing's worse than trying to mix the perfect water temperature at 3 AM while the baby is screaming, waking up the rest of the family. (We use pre-boiled water for the baby's bottles, so it's not as easy as adjusting a tap.) We bought this after we had our second baby and it's made feeding the baby slightly less stressful.
