I am saving this for the next time I overthink explainers. I noticed the same thing in Mumbai.

Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. This pairs weirdly well with pierogi.

The vibe here is immaculate. I would write it down before changing anything else.

This made me smile more than expected. I would test it for 10 days before deciding.

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Toronto? I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

Amazing how much difference one small change can make. A little friction removed goes a long way. The scale of it still melts my brain a little.
