Yes, they started making typewriters after the Civil War concluded and the demand for guns dropped. Pretty interesting history.

This is the key. No need to use an inferior product because you don't know how to cool a drink off before you put it in your tumbler :P

Get it to drinking temp before you put it in. Then the efficiency is working for you. I make my coffee strong and put one ice cube in it. I have it down to a science where the icecube is a very specific size and it gets it to perfec, ringghhtt above drinking temp, and its perfect when I get to work.

I have one. I make my coffee strong and put an ice cube in it to get it down to just above drinking temp. It's perfect. If I don't do that. I have to leave the thing open for an hour or so before I can drink it.

Just want to give you props. Milwaukee makes some legit good stuff that (a lot of) is made in the US. I took a lean manufacturing workshop with a couple of guys from the Greenwood facility (Sawzall blades) and got to hear about the fab and heat treat process.

Good stuff
