Get a couple of chickens and grow your own. There's nothing like fresh
eggs. The stuff you get in markets pales in comparison.

If you want a couple of cheap chickens, go to one of the battery farms
and ask them for a couple they're going to retire. They'll gladly give
you a couple. The chucks will produce 1-2 eggs a day each and you'll get
the lovely warm feeling from knowing you've let them see their days out
in the fresh air.

Yeah, esteem from people who don't know you and u dun wanna know.

Comfort is precisely the point; that's why I drive a large (old) car
rather than a new tin-box. And as it happens, many brand new cars are
more unreliable until the warranty work has been sorted out, hehe.
