- chankstein38 3y agoI'm going to be honest, if it takes 33 minutes to rotate all the way around, I don't see the utility in this at all. "Oh no the sun is in my eyes in the living room, let me rotate away from it!" 15 minutes later sun is back in your eyes. I'm with you too, I think of it like the sleep number beds. It's really cool but I'm going to end up finding a specific setting I like and the functionality that makes it expensive is going to be nullified bc I'll never move it again lol

- dredmorbius 3y agoNB, "barpat" from this story seems not to exist other than in it or references to it. Several glossaries of naval terminology entirely fail to mention it.
