Too bad I can't find a second one. I got it initially because it was the cheapest non-plastic non-glass cutting board I could find. It turned out to be soft enough to not ruin my knife edge, hard enough to not get cut to pieces, non-slip, heavy enough to not move, and never warp. I love it. It is simply a 3/4" thick slab of hard rubber. hard rubber cutting boards are actually really nice. Too bad I can’t find a second one.

I was trying to expand my drinking repertoire and found an online bartender's guide. Unfortunately, whatever software they used to publish it had converted all the "½" characters to "12". I thought something seemed fishy, but as I said, this was before I learned to distrust everything on the web. Sure, it seemed odd that I had to find a giant quart pitcher to mix those 12 parts of whiskey for each 1 part mixer. Perhaps it was a historical leftover from all those wacky English measurements. In any case, those were about the nastiest drinks every made. Never use twelve parts of anything.
