"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. "
"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 did not intend to hit a nerve. And I agree that any time spend in ill fitting shoes is causing harm. For decades we have been sold on the need for cushioning, support, orthotics, etc. when what we really need are strong feet that cushion and support themselves. And we can all do that for free. As for who I am, a former recreational long-distance runner that has spent years rehabilitating his feet from the deformations caused by conventional footwear."
"Continues to drive me crazy that conventional footwear companies can put out this garbage without any concern for what it's doing to people's feet, and bodies in general. Sure, let's strap 4 sponges to each foot and run 26 miles. What could go wrong? Forget the waste of a disposable running shoe, not even getting into that. "
"At 3.2 lbs per foot I'm wondering about aches and pains from carrying that much weight on each foot all day. There's a good reason that a lot of Appalachain Trail thru-hikers wear trail runners instead of boots. Less weight on your feet means slower fatigue. It would be interesting to hear what employees actually thought of the product beyond just the single quote in that case study."
"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. "
