"Love this design and the notch in the case. As an origami enthusiast, I'm really curious what the manufacturing process looks like. I'm guessing a machine takes a sheet and creates each long fold one-by-one, like an accordion. Then you would need a comb-like jig (same number of teeth as valley folds) to make the final folds in a partially manual process? Press the comb against the sheet where you need to fold the legs up and down. They probably aren't selling enough to justify a fully automated process. But I'm interested to hear other people's thoughts. "

"I stopped using my roborock on the first floor because it was more work to go around and pick up all the cat toys and other stuff that could get stuck in the vacuum, compared to just getting a regular vacuum out and doing it myself. This makes me think there's a market for a picker-upper that goes around first and then the vacuum starts up once it's clear. That could be more useful than a vacuum if you're picking up after kids all day, every day. Oh yeah, also I'm terrified of the vacuum spreading an errant cat turd all around a floor or carpet. I know, they have ones that detect them, but I don't have that one (more $$)."

"Couldn't love this more. Thanks so much for posting it. I guess images of the cases probably are not as readily available? I always found some of the cases just as alluring as the cassettes. Can still smell those inserts. Mmmmmm-MMMMM. That TDK SA, loved it. Bought so many from Alwilk Records in my local mall. Maxell XL II, also. "

"Wonderful, more leaf blower noise. And from high up on a roof so even more people get to hear it. Can't they just rake the ice off the roof ;)"

"Brilliant!"

"I like the design of the pot and the use of the powder. Why not just dig a hole and put this in the hole, then take it out when you're done? The target area on the inflatable is quite small. Think about how big toilet openings are compared to the pot opening. Seems too small to be of any use. And the overall volume of the product is too large to be practical for storing in a backpack with other stuff. Especially after you've gotten feces on it (and then presumably wiped it on the ground to clean it, which is what the product is intending to prevent in the first place). I like the effort though - interesting to learn about how jacked up our turds are."

"Ironically, Drais was called a crank. "

"This reminds me of the signs on NJ Transit trains. I've always wanted to talk to the designer(s) to understand why things like that corner in the slanted part of the "N" were left in. And to find out what the design process was like. Such interesting patterns are formed by each letter and number. Looks a little like particle accelerator patterns. "

"All of these coolers need a dedicated spot for keeping pot dry. You could also build an inconspicuous bong right into the body so there's no need to fill anything with water. The water is already there!!!"

"I love all of these ideas. I was wondering if there's something you carry while backpacking that can be replaced by this, so that it's doing double duty. Like some part of a tent or your pack. "

"I love it. Trying to think of what else you could use it for while backpacking. "

"Let's go the other way and make the caps as difficult to use as possible. Help cut down on plastic bottle use. "
