This is such a perfect analogy.
My goto is "asbestos". Super useful invention which bit us in the ass afterwards.

Have you ever watched a @… video? They’re incredibly well-crafted, full of meaningful motion and creative ideas...
and we’ll chat with the man himself this Wednesday to find out how they come together!
Spoiler: it’s fascinating stuff that you’re very familiar with ;)

Drug plan provider changed me from Fiasp to a generic at the first of the year;
Spent several days waiting for the prescription to come in. After 2 days or so it arrived. Was told they do not stock that insulin. It was the only bolus on the providers formulary.
I renewed last Thursday. Today is Thursday of the following week. Called the Pharmacy yesterday evening. They are going to call me back today with what they find out. Was told they checked and none available in their sy…

Cycling question: trying out saddles, in the UK
UK cycling people, is there somewhere you'd go to sit on different saddles to test if they're comfortable? Is that a thing?
I've worked out that my (default came-with-the-bike) saddle isn't the right shape for me: it's giving me an achy tailbone, as well as I think being a bit too narrow for optimal sit-bone comfort.
For context, I'm an "occasional cyclist for pleasure and/or practical reasons", shall we say. No ambition to be super fast.
Looking around online, I think I want something more like the Rido R2 or one of the Selle ones, shaped to have air under the tailbone area. Or maybe even a noseless one like the Spongy Wonder, though I don't like the look of how the metal frame sticks out at the front of those.
What's the chances a shop would have more than one of those and a willingness to get them out for a test sit? Or, better still, is there a loan scheme anywhere, so you can actually "test drive" them for a bit? Or do people usually just buy and be willing to sell again?
I'm in Nottingham, and I know there are bike shops I could get to, but I'm not seeing "come in and try all these saddles, we'll help you to find the right one" kinds of messaging.
Could also potentially travel elsewhere at some point if it turns out there's some kind of "best place in the country for that question".
Advice welcome!

I find myself doing a lot of the research when coding larger features or debugging hard problems over my phone these days, googling things, looking up articles, you name it. Because sometimes thoughts come to me when I am not necessarily in front of the PC and having the phone handy is really convenient.
So I really miss having the same convenience to try actual code out without having to walk over to my PC be it a room or half a town away.
Am I alone in that feeling?
