But you're not putting cakes in all your canning jars, so you still can.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know how you people can drive and use arm rests at the same time.
What else are you doing with that arm?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I drive with my right arm at 12 and my left hanging out the window, most of the time. I think the last time I did the crossover thing when turning was my driving test.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
What else are you doing with that arm?
Controlling the steering wheel. I don't think I could do it without the whole length of my arm being involved.
Eta: I can't knit or crochet while using armrests, either. My elbows gotta be free to flop around.

I use the cross-over turn when I'm turning fast and hard--which sounds much more interesting than it is.

Because books.
But once again, I love how my optimism at the beginning of a canning process gradually descends into chaos and cursing by the end of it, wherein I stare sadly at one, maybe two, jars of overprocessed, inedible, sugar laden goop.
Aw, Liese! Also, now I want to read that chapter of Little Women with Meg's day of canning.

Both arms?
I drive with my right arm at 12 and my left hanging out the window, most of the time.
I tend to drive with my left arm more often than just my right, maybe because my window is usually up. Dangling out the window isn't really an 85mph option, and a big chunk of my daily driving is (optimally) that, even if it was warm enough.

This morning it felt like my lymph nodes were tender, and by afternoon I had a 102° fever. Do. Not. Want.

Well that sucks, Tom. I hope it's over quickly, whatever it s.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I made it through the whole week without falling asleep in my office!!
I am perhaps prouder of that than I should be.
