My son is _furious_ that the servos he’s using in his grade school robotics club project have five degrees of play in their responsiveness and none of his test runs are replicable, and he’s angry that anyone would sell random unreliable junk like this to save a few bucks.

For a certain number of generations, the phrase "You want to have your cake and eat it, too" has seemed dumb and weird because, at least in American English, "have cake" and "eat cake" mean the same thing, so I would like to propose the much more culturally relevant "You want to eat the last slice of leftover pizza in the fridge and also for there to still be leftover pizza in the fridge," which, while not as pithy, is far more on-point in conveying the specific sentiment.

Also, I just ate the last slice of leftover pizza in the fridge and am sad.
