"That motto is pretty off-putting - is it just me? Kinda like wannabe down with the kiiids or the ruff set, so they huff and puff instead of just chillin'..."

"Nice form, indeed."

"Yes, but no windshield? Better bring your helmet - visors down!"

"Yea. Beautiful idea and execution."

"I've always thought Reykjavik, Iceland's system of heated sidewalks and roadways was a great idea for areas with easy access to geothermal heating. I believe it works in a closed loop, a bit like central heating in a house.Not sure how it stacks up against Niigata's system, which seems to be considerably larger in scale, but also expends a fair amount of water, you'd assume. Which is not necessarily ideal..?"

"This is probably a case where the novelty value alone will ensure that it's ripped from the shelves - not to mention plastered all over design blogs. Actual functionality comes in second here, clearly. Is that a bad thing? Depends on your perspective - if your goal is to break onto a saturated market, then this could be a viable strategy."

"Great case study!"

"Just imagine the amount of grime, bacteria and vira that these touch points will harbour, never to be dislodged. Lovegrove has some wonderful sculptural forms to his name, but this is one application in which form has triumphed fatally over function."

"While this may seem superfluous on the surface, I do see an advantage for if you're doing drop sets at home. (You know, where you'd work your way down the rack at a gym, starting with higher weights until failure, then dropping quickly to lower weights in the same set.) Time is key with drop sets, so messing around with manual disc changing is not really an option. So for a use case where someone's looking to do drop sets and doesn't want a whole rack of dumbbells taking up space at home it might make sense, provided the UX is efficient.That said, I'd personally much rather just hit the gym!"

"I'll second Sam's thoughts.Our Tesla 3 2020 makes virtually no sound save wind and tires. And because this noise is isolated, you notice it. And over time I've found myself increasingly wanting to mute the noise. (My partner couldn't care less, but she's less bothered by many things 😉)So I've opted for the quietest summer tires I could find (Continental UltraContact NXT), which incidentally are the most sustainable, too, in that they're 65% recycled materials, yet are hard-wearing and have excellent performance. They still can't compare to our winter tires, though - come November when we switch, it's like slipping on a pair of hush puppies, and everything goes quiet! In short, tires make a huge difference in noise levels - in our EV at least."

"Love that toaster / shuttle bay!"

"Chill, B - no need to get all uptight about it.It was still an interesting piece, even if lacking in some of the important details you mentioned."
