"What happened to the idea of rotating handles, found on some Fiskars, Bahco, and ASR models, which prevent relative motion between the surface of the handle and the skin in contact with it, reducing the chance of blisters forming?"

"It would be interesting to see how much an authorized replica from Cassina would cost. I picture a variant in which the four hooks have the white, red, green, and blue colors of Le Corbusier's LC17 coat rack."

"Thank you for this highly informative piece. Tomatoes are not native to Europe. From https://www.thespruceeats.com/history-of-tomatoes-as-food-1807678 :"The tomato is native to western South America and Central America. In 1519, Cortez discovered tomatoes growing in Montezuma's gardens and brought seeds back to Europe where they were planted as ornamental curiosities, but not eaten."A retired industrial designer sent me this minutes ago, as an example of a "way beyond the requirements" product I would appreciate:https://ia.net/topics/ia-writer-in-paper"

"It would probably be preferable to have a quartz clock mechanism with a sweep second hand; they tend to be quieter. "

"Dealer Hive Modern makes it clear that the lamp uses a bulb: requires 1x E27/E26 (max 40W) bulbThe US importer has very clear installation instructions at https://www.louispoulsen.com/api/downloadcenter/download?type=mountinginstructions&id=18052-I1_VL_56_pendant_US.pdf&overridelanguage=en-US , where we finally get the bulb description: Max 40W E26 / Type A-19 Bulb ."

"I bought the floor lamp version of the Dyson Lightcycle Morph™ floor light (White/Silver) when it was on a 20% off sale in October of 2020. I am not sure how the version I have differs from the current version. I have not used the app.My resistance to the purchase of a lamp with "integrated", "built-in", or "circuit-on-board" LED modules that are not user-replaceable was hard to overcome. LED lighting was initially promoted because it was supposed to save energy. It does that, but in many cases, the product is more future landfill. Some manufacturers can replace the LED module if you return the lamp to them and some cannot. I have seen no information from Dyson about this issue.The quality of the light is outstanding, as is the ability to control the brightness and color temperature. It is both entertaining and instructive to put a familiar object under it, change the light, and see the object literally in a new light. I have to remind myself to stop asking "But what does it really look like?".I have the motion detector feature turned on. Five minutes after I go to bed, the brightness goes down smoothly to about half of the previous level for five seconds, and then fades to black. When I wake up in the morning, I wave at the lamp, and the brightness smoothly increases to the saved brightness level. This feature is extremely addictive.A few times since October 2020, the settings for brightness and color temperature have been lost, and the motion sensor stopped working. I unplugged the lamp, waited a minute, and plugged it in again. You are doubtless familiar with this procedure. In each case, it worked.The best advice I can provide is to not allow any disappointments, criticisms, or problems you may have had with other Dyson products prejudice you from considering this one. I usually strongly dislike spoilers, but here comes one: The cardboard box in which the floor lamp is supplied serves as a giant cardboard vice that holds the base and stem in place, so you can screw them together easily. It took me quite a while to stop smiling after I saw that. This is one of the rare cases of "Stone Age to Star Trek in five minutes.""

"Imagine the difficulties with air travel this design poses. The manual should have "It's not a gun" in dozens of languages. "

"Sources differ about the total human carrying capacity of the ship, in terms of passengers versus crew. A New York Post article titled "Icon of the Seas labeled a 'monstrosity' ahead of first sail" has this: As for technical specifics, the boat is equipped with 17 lifeboats with the capacity for up to 450 people — meaning it has room for 7,650 people, despite its capacity for 7,960. Specifically, it holds up to some 5,610 passengers and 2,350 crew across 19 floors — the height alone comparable to a New York City building. ****** In commercial aviation in the USA, a plane should be able to be evacuated in 90 seconds, making use of the evacuation slides. I have three questions about this floating color-riot: 1. What happens if a rouge wave appears under the bow and stern simultaneously? 2. How long does it take to safely evacuate 7,650 people from a ship? 3. How does the answer to question #2 change if more than 20% of the 7,650 people have been taking advantage of the "15 bars and nightlife spots" touted by Royal Carribeans's own website ("Royal Caribbean reveals 15 bars and nightlife spots on new Icon of the Seas cruise ship", by Matt Hochberg, March 28, 2023)?."
