The BBS crashed under load from the debate article traffic so one of the mods consolidated them. (I’m not a mod, I just got some 500s last night, and I thought the UI had plenty of indicators that this happened.)
How long till these show up in the BBStore at the unbelievable price of 90% off?

Not as horrid or useless as this
I was given something similar a few years ago, couldn’t drink from it without soaking the cosy, couldn’t remove the cosy when ready to drink (without losing some of the contents).
Straight to the charity shop.

I think they are great too! It’s a Boston thing.
It’s the perfect gift for anyone who loves the idea of snuggling up as a storm rolls in and chewing some … wait, what?

Ye gods, even just knitting in a small cutaway from the rim, where one would drink, would have been a good idea. Too twee for me.
I am not fond of drinking hot drinks from metal, even stainless steel, because I can taste the metal in every sip. Same problem with plastic. Not enjoyable. Ceramic, glass and porcelain are better. In winter, I sometimes have a glass-lined thermos flask full of hot tea, but my tea-drinking dad liked to use a small round electric heating pad.

I used to have a cheap Chinese ceramic mug bought from a market in Hong Kong that had a lid, perfect for the job until I dropped it, basically though I drink tea when its ready to drink (and sometimes when bone cold).

The Starbucks Sweater Mug has a smaller rim and the handle isn’t decorated. I prefer the horrid mug.
