The meat grinder is even a better metaphor for the mixing
   process, if less pretty.

   I have two meat grinders, hand-crank. I started out with a small
   one. My brother goes hunting and sometimes gets a deer. Not my
   thing but idc, meat's meat.

   The little one would cramp my hand up, so I upgraded it to the
   BIGGEST manual meat grinder I could find.

   Processed whole deer and pigs through it and... man, my hands
   were FREEZING when it was done. Arms aching. But it was fun...
