  • "A stunningly beautiful object, obviously the result of many iterations of thoughtful aesthetic considerations BY SOME DESIGNERS WHO ARE AS DUMB AS A ROCK!  And I mean, really stupid. The core fundamental problem is that the positioning of the bird house gives the nest essentially a common wall with your sound and vibrations, and a common window with your light. I guess if you put it in a room that's totally silent and is kept no lighter than the ambient light outside, at any time, it would be great. Oh, and also make sure there's no air-conditioning vent pointing towards it. I mean I could be wrong but this is a triumph of aesthetics over not even common sense but simply basic thoughtfulness and intelligence"

  • "One of these was included as part of my equipment when I first started using a CPAP in an early winter. It looks like redesigned but unfortunately, it would never really fit my nose and we ended up switching to a more traditional deep sea diver mask. A real shame  "

  • "There's a bunch of rechargeable power screwdrivers with pretty much the same form factor available on amazon.com.  Some of them are single speed, some double. Some include an LED, and some include a whole bunch more of bits. They're priced from roughly $33-$36, however.  "

  • "Maybe ... but only if you do not shift the position of your hand on the handlebar.  Definitely a "no way" for those of us who use dropped handlebars and shift between 3 or 4 positions both depending on what we are doing and to avoid hand fatigue."

  • "I think it is unlikely that Lego would try to put them out of business. Having the independent app would increase sales as well as mind share. On the other hand,, buying the app would allow Lego to enhance it so that the parts can be ordered with just a click and would be retail sales rather wholesale, with more revenue, and would also allow Lego to build a huge library of these designs and make them either freely available or available at a minimum cost which would, again, increase sales   "

  • "I have areas of question.  1. How many different red and blue blends (i.e., purples) can the typical human eye distinguish, especially when view a likely-compressed image on a small screen?  Are these the best two colors to use? 2. At what level of zoom should there be a single blend that that represents multiple precincts?  Should the viewer be able to control this, i.e., to toggle from viewing a dot for each precinct vs for each city, county, state?"
