Porsche continues to sell manuals, but alas did do away with it on the upcoming Carrera 992.2 and gts. They have a 40% overall manual sales per this: https://www.motor1.com/news/705017/manual-transmission-sales-2023/
Bmw and others do have high individual model manual take rates (bmw m2/ct5 blackwing e.g. at 60/50% respectively.)
But they’ll always be the less performance option, though more “engagement”.
167k vs 500k in China, per the article
Boooo…oh shut up. Knew she looked familiar.
The patient has to get exposed and positioned, then padded (so there are no pressure injuries, no errant cables or equipment pushing on skin, etc). Also under anesthesia (depending on the type but I’ll assume general/completely asleep) you aren’t moving and your body may get moved or shifted into an unnatural position.
It’s also nice to have controls as mentioned by another reply, but pulse oximetry is great, and can be slapped on any non sterilized area to assess oxygenation.
We use a ninja foodie / instapot and it’s great! Consistency comes out nicer and more like Indian style basmati which we prefer.

I also bought one a few years ago, for 2 cats. Definitely expensive, especially going for the litter robot 4 over 3, but was told by friends’ the 3 was somewhat loud and made their cats nervous.
Honestly have loved it. Allowed me to go on vacations with less worry about sitters cleaning the box well, or overuse between visits. One cat especially does not like to cover his mess, and the LR4 has spoiled me and him to allow his lazy habit to persist.
Definitely very expensive, but Very worthwhile for me and knowing laziness/busy times won’t affect the kitties. And of all the reviews, litterrobot seemed to be the best, and most reliable.
