"This is an interesting combination of UI and a discussion on proper training. As someone who has done a significant amount of pistol competition shooting, a lighter trigger is always going to be the better option for speed and accuracy, both of which are needed in life and death situations. For example, the trigger in my competition pistol is right around a 3 pound pull. However, that brings up a much bigger question I had from the article. A police official was quoted as saying a lighter trigger would lead to unintentional shots being fired, but that suggests the police already have their finger on the trigger before they intend to shoot. This is a massive issue and at direct odds with one of the four basic rules to firearm safety. The accuracy numbers also show that most police departments desperately need to step up their training game. It's one thing to shoot at a paper target in a controlled environment once a year, it's another entirely to shoot under stress without the opportunity to prepare yourself mentally or physically. Force on force training with simulated munitions, or simply a long obstacle course with shooting while moving stages integrated into it would better prepare officers to shoot with a racing heart and a busy mind. Whether it's an issue of funding, or lack of desire, or something else entirely, police need to prioritize training their officers to a higher level of proficiency with the weapons they carry and the situations they might use them in to prevent accidental discharge and unnecessary shootings."

"SMEG is one of those companies where I truly appreciate the design of their products. However, I am reluctant to ever purchase one just because "Smeg" isn't something I want to read every day, or ever, really."

"I loved everything about it but the Blurrg, which I can deal with. There are some pretty stupid looking animals on earth, not all the Star Wars animals should look cool. That said, your description is pretty spot on. It looks like an Angler fish found itself on land and was too angry to die. I really hope we get to see more of IG-11. Finally getting to see one fight after reading how dangerous they were as a kid was a treat."

"As a musician, anything that helps more kids try out an instrument for a significantly lower price of entry is a plus in my mind. My first trombone in 5th grade was something like $600 for a basic horn. That's a big investment that you HOPE a kid will continue. That eventually turned into a $13K Tuba and a difficult choice whether to major in design or music, but there are a lot of kids that are really into music for a year or two and then drop it. There are also a lot of families that can't afford to get their kids into music that this could help.As far as tone, brass is always going to sound better than plastic, but I was impressed by the sound in the video. Kids don't need concert level instruments, and unless they're a virtuoso, they'll never have the skill to outplay the tone difference before they upgrade. I see this as a great win and I'm excited to see them branch out into more instruments."

"Great build and video, Mike!"

"Silverabros"

"Good thing they've already got some falling water to help that last burn."

"If these taste half as good as they look I'd have a very difficult debate of having my cake or eating it. Beautiful designs!"

"All Mandalorians wear that helmet as part of their style/history/religion. It's also incredibly effective in the Star Wars canon which is why Boba Fett wore it after killing a mandalorian. It would throw a curveball to the Star Wars universe if a random mandalorian decided to break with tradition and wear something different."

"I grew up playing baseball and I kinda dig this."

"That Smart/Range Rover works a bit too well!"

"That's quite lovely. Good job D2Lo!"
