"the flat tape keeper behind the teeth in the last photo would suggest otherwise.  it's a thing on every tape dispenser I've ever used, and is notably absent on the steel prototypes.   also, the prototypes show the needed symmetry for left and right handed use (also a thing on every tape dispenser?), but the fancy brass version omits it ."

"my cordless tool batteries will henceforth be referred to as "accumulators""

"what jumps out to me is the incongruity of the drawers in their closed and open states.all of the photos show closed drawers more or less touching or resting upon the table surface, but in the photos showing drawers in an open position, the bottom edge of the drawer front is somehow 3-4 mm above the desk surface... in defiance of basic cabinetmaking principles, and of physics in general.if the grooves in the case are tight enough to hold the drawer up in that extended position, they're too tight and will bite and bind."

""technical sorcery" is not how I would describe something that's been around for 35 years in cassette audio adapters.   they make bluetooth versions too, so I'd suggest that this isn't anything particularly new."

"Expand your world-view Dave ;;))From Wikipedia:Metric cupAustralia, Canada, New Zealand, and some other members of the Commonwealth of Nations, being former British colonies that have since metricated, employ a "metric cup" of 250 millilitres. Although derived from the metric system, it is not an SI unit.1 cup = 250 millilitres= 162⁄3 international tablespoons (15 ml each)= 12.5 Australian tablespoons (20 ml each)= 25 dessertspoons (10 ml each)≈ 8.80 imperial fluid ounces≈ 8.45 US customary fluid ounces"

"Included in the 21 U.S. states where brass knuckles are illegal or prohibited in some measure, are California, Michigan, Vermont and Illinois, which "prohibit the possession, use or sale of knuckles or anything that even looks like knuckle dusters.""

"I'm having fun imagining ways in which these lifestyle opportunities could become deathstyle opportunities."

"angle grinding in the shop without having to worry about sparks landing in a saw-dusty corner!spray painting and solvents without the fumes!make a giant mess without having to clean it up!no thanks :://"

"this is fantastic."

"maximum verbosity.  it's like they put everything from the ad copy onto the actual watch. "

"this is great, and the world should not revolve around stupid & ugly pets and/or children."

"the video isn't faked.  the movement of the cassette you call a jump in the video is a result of the tape side / direction change and the electro-mechanical stuff going on in there. It also happens at 1:03 when the direction is changed."
