LOL YES.
The bearing noise puts my gf to sleep when shes laying down or something. I live with her and she has gotten used to putting my throws away that I leave out… She is interested in it though. Still trying to get her to learn a bit but I don’t think she would have the patience.
At work (a restaurant), when I work in the kitchen, all the guys are always amazed. I brought them my StarLite they all leave it there and share it. My waitstaff just asks me stuff like “how did you get into it?” etc.
