"How about  a beach toy bin at beaches to encourage reuse.  Less stuff to take with you on a trip, no sandy toys on your leather seats. Less garbage. But hey, first-world problems. I've made sand castles with old flipflops and found water bottles.  Up next is a laser level and 3d scanner to ensure your castles are plumb and to save the .stl file so you can 3d print your castles later? oh oh oh an app idea!"

" Now more people can move to  smaller cities, where it's cheaper to have a home with space for a homeoffice.So you don't shell out 8.50 for that dual shot grande pumpkin spice latte, but you take your kids to the park more often and spend 8.50 on artesenal cheese flavored a.Or maybe you work only part-time since you don't have to own a car to drive to work, pay for daycare , and you cook your own food with using ingredients from your home garden with  that extra 2 hours a day you have free.Someone else  gets a job doing half a your work. "

"Not sure about this one, the tech seems sketchy . Yes it will be cooler , but it's not going to be that much cooler, and humidity, sun shine, wind are all factors. It's tried and proven tech, but it's simply not going to replace ice, and it's been done and failed before. On a very rare day, if it's bone dry windy and not too hot sunny sure it might do it well. "

"Oh Boy here we go .   I once saw an AVE review of 10 dollar calipers vs a mitutoyo. I have one of those 10 dollar  calipers and I paid 110 REALS (Brazil's currency). 110 reals is about  3 days work for a guy working at McDonald's  in Brazil. A mitutoyo caliper costs over a months wages. So when I hear ppl complaining about harbour freight tools being cheap and bad, I take a deep breath. You don't know how good you have it. I would love to have that shitty bar clamp.  They are  poorly designed for your ease of use, but perfectly designed for my 3rd world pocket. "

"being from a tropical country   where we dont use carpet because its hot and cold tile feels nice, i couldnt belive my eye to see carpet used in bathrooms  in the uk ,around toilets too!"

"i keep the zip ties intact and remove them with a shim , for temp stuff its great. I do have to say that wearing a pair of gloves an having wire twisting pliers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CU-NAX7vwfY does kinda solve the issue , and let you use the metal wire. Having worked and lived on a farm, reusing things is common, one day your fencing in chickens, the next your growing peas on the mesh, so im not sure if the plastic is as reusable, but i could be wrong."

"Hey if your phone is displaying a count down timer, than it might  save water.  But i can see a doctor or someone who's on-call like a fireman or a emt enjoying not having to step out of the shower to take a call or read a text update. But for most it would be silly ."

"Automation = fewer jobs = lower puchasing power =  demand for lower prices = more pressure to automate = more automation = fewer jobs ....repeatSo clearly  we already begun this game 200 years ago in the steam era.  There is no return to a manual labor world but, robotics also means efficiency and abundance. In a world with unrenewable and un-recycled resources, automation is a solution. It would be great if we could automate, research ,design and manufacturing 100%.  Say it makes clean energy 100x cheaper  or plastic sorting and recycling 1000x cheaper. Maybe  food , medicince housing and other basic needs are free and you work only for luxury items.So we dont have technological problems we got economical theory problems, Our limited prespective makes the  it look scary,  when it`s probably our best bet in avoiding enviromental depleteion.    We just gotta redesign our economy for a world where everything is so cheap, working-to-survive maybe outdated and working-to-improve  may be the norm."

"I agree those are MISS USES OF THE INTENDED ITEMS.Here is the the point which you seemed to miss.ASSULTING (killing ) IS THE INTENDED USE OF AN ASSULT RIFLE!"

"If i knew the doors could be blocked, cus as a student in a school that has them,  you would see these JUSTINCASE devices in your class room, I would just fire at ppl during a dance or while they are in the hall. im sure the side effect would be having kids being locked out of the class in the hallway like sitting ducks getting shot while begging to be allowed into a classroom.  These are premeditated crimes."

"Oh like Australia got rid of most guns successfully.Even  in  the shithole country I live in (according to Trump), we got rid of 95% of guns, only 22 caliber guns are allowed, and YES criminals have assult rifles  here  and its a VERY violent country.   Yet we decided to prohibit ownership of gun 2 times in mandatory public polls. Because back in the days most people used them to kill cheating husbands and wives (not for protection).By the way ,the black-market rifles sold here cost like 20,000 usd (4 years minimum wages in our currency), so it's major criminals protecting their drug turf not teenagers still going to school that make that kind of investment."

"Following this path, we should probably also outlaw.....vehicles(not designed for killing), computers(not designed for killing), gasoline(not designed for killing) or anything flammable(mostly not designed for killing), matches(not  for killing), lighters(not for killing),knives (Mostly not designed for killing), swords(sure why not ban this, who the f. needs a sword in 2018?), fertilizers(ammonium nitrate, is harder to buy than a gun, lots of paperwork involved and background checks ),pipes(also not designed for killing), pesticides(not designed for killing humans, and its already  illegal in most places that guns are still legal) really bad argument slippery slope"
