"The uniqueness appeals to me.  Dreaming of a version of the lamp that would look like the Guggenheim in NYC.  However, even the table lamp is outside my budget."

"An interesting program about bamboo on NHK. Link: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/shows/2015278/There is a 120 year blooming cycle for a certain type of bamboo. "

"I could not help but be reminded of the children's Hasbro game, Operation. https://board-games.fandom.com/wiki/OperationJust passed by their HQ the other day and was wondering what a company called Intuitive does.  Thanks for answering."

"A flexing robot arm!  Depressing or amusing depending on one's perspective. "

"I bought the D-50 in Hong Kong in 1984 and modified it to work on US voltage.  I should have kept it, as it is now probably a museum piece.  I'm hanging onto my old H-P calculators, so as to not make the same mistake. My brother has his original H-P 35 and it still works.  Once you got used to RPN (Reverse Polish Notation), it was obvious why it was better.  Too bad it came out a little after my undergraduate year when I had to use a slide rule for all the damned error analysis in physics lab. "

"I think sweat might be the operative term."

"There are knock-offs on Amazon (surprise again, they are Chinese manufacture).  I wonder if there was any patent protection. I am not sure whether it would matter. "

""We traveled the world searching for a cost-effective process and found it in South America. There we pioneered the process, then adapted it for mass manufacture in Asia to keep costs competitive with traditional drill bits."  Sigh... A bunch of funny language to excuse finding the process in SA and taking it to China.  Why am I not surprised?"

"I hope the bench fabrication takes into consideration the emissivity of the steel surface.  If it is low and exposed to strong sun light, the bench can get uncomfortably or dangerously hot."

"I found a photo from our apartment search in Bundang in March 2010."

"We had something similar in our apartments in South Korea when we were living there a decade ago.  If I remember correctly, one was not functional and the other had none of the sophisticated provisions.  Some type of enhancement to the drying process is preferred during the hot and humid season. Although it was a fancy building, I made use of the communal coin-operated washers and dryers."

"How about a robust solution for a smart watch?  I don't carry my phone when working in our small garden (my wife can reach me by voice), but if I did I might be tempted by a durable smart watch.  Many years ago, I learned my lesson by smashing my phone display when working outside."
