"It's ridiculous, unnecessary, serves no useful purpose, and I love it.Something to be said for performance art masquerading as ID."

"Wearable tech fails to attract broad popularity because it's attached to you and you can't put it down easily. There's a far smaller market segment that is okay with that than people more terminally online than the average would like to think."

"Might be more useful tbh. I guess the pump itself was more of an afterthought to the attachment head then?"

"As a kid I played with some original Lincoln Logs that had been made out of redwood. It's light weight feeling without the flimsiness of balsa. Very interesting wood."

"Like a Honda Civic with a fake spoiler and plastic chrome hubcaps, except instead of a kid with a pizza delivery job, it's a middle manager having a mid life crisis."

"Something tells me "more expensive to produce" has more to do with proprietary patents than manufacturing complexity. Which is going to swiftly change if they're using the same  mechanisms all single lift shaft helicopters have used for a century."

""Natural Linoleum: A naturally durable surface made from bio-based materials, offering wear resistance, antistatic properties, and a matte finish that minimizes fingerprints while maintaining a refined aesthetic." Just say plastic, this is taking forever."

"Given those dead eyed AI-gen'd mannequin people, I'd say the target market is Narnia."

"A small air compressor will pay for itself in ease of use over any manual bike pump. Turn on, set to pressure, connect, fill tire nearly instantly, done. I spend more time pulling out and re-hanging the hose. Obviously not something you can sling under the top tube, but for home use I'd never go back at this point."

"I wish it was easier to purchase institutional units at retail scale, period. It's frustrating that furniture and other household goods are either luxury grade and priced accordingly and often "exclusive to the trade", or low end Lowes/Home Depot consumer kit with, imo, fraudulent "professional/industrial/etc" branding."

"There may not be a structural header if the ceiling and its members are high enough, in which case it's just a matter of making a weird shaped door and frame. Still a very odd solution to a problem that *could* be solved by turning the whiteboard at an angle, and maybe taking the door off its hinges.Or just using a smaller whiteboard."

"That's a really good idea, but unfortunately they know it and priced it accordingly, yikes."
