"This is 100% true and a very good idea. I work in a plastic sheet factory and we are many layers removed from the designers. i can be getting a request for a sheet from a thermoformer who was asked by a POP display manufacturer who may or may not have an inhouse designer who deals with a marketing company who deals with a makeup giant such as loreal who has a junior designer spec’ing materials while following the marketing’s sustainability guidelines. "

"Wow but this article will really mess up my adsense suggestions "

"Oxo did not imvent the brush sweeper is a very old design was popular in Italy when i grew up. It is very simple and even I as a kid was tasked to clear my grandma’s table and enjoyed it. The aluminum takes a bit more skills. I would compare it to corkscrews: waiters and most drinkers would prefer a compact and cheap waiters 2-step corkscrew. But most people would opt for a slighly easier  winged butterfly or the rabbit. Both work. Coincidentally, alessi makes a nice table sweeper like the one u like but with a wing so u can collect the crumbs and not need a plate"

"Stop falling for fake renewable plastic hype! Lime is a mineral, not a plastic or resin. All they are doing is using it as filler. Guess what: calcium carbonate  (CaCO3), lime’s composition has been used as a filler for decades. Usually as a way to save money or for its properties. But you can only use that much dirt into a plastic before it breaks apart: limex claims it can replace 50% of the pellet’s weight with caco3. But caco3 has a density 3 times as heavy as polystyrene! Do the math, basically this is straight run of the mill styrene (hips) with 15% caco3 filler. Finding filler is never a problem: depending on price in the industry they use caco3, talc, titanium dioxide, really any inorganic scrap from coffee scraps to flax , and once a week an ID student solves the world’s problems by sprinkling some ground seashells / chicken feathers/  Rice husk /spent grains / cannabis byproduct into plastic and calling it renewable"

"At the expense of aerodynamics?"

"As a canadian I know many, many people who have their own ring. U need a realtively flat land, u buy a tarp, ideally a special one. U wait for snow. After u have a few inches u can flood it with water. It takes a lot of maintenance, clearing subsequent snowfalls, spraying hot water and resurfacing the ice. (Most people dont have a zamboni in their shed). While i have never seen this system im sure it works. Ive seen many others and they are either harder to install, much more bulkier (the rotomolded panels alone are a great idea: much lighter and cheaper that hdpe over plywood). Why would someone trash this in the comments if they obviously dont know much about this?"

"The main question - which they completely ignore- is: which creates a stronger bond?Pocket holes are usually hidden and blow out is rarely an issue , if set up correctly. So the only thing that matters , aside from the x10 price tag is strength. And I would think a steeper angle, which engages more cross fibers would be significantly stronger than end grain "

"Hemp, coffee grinds, corn husk, chicken feathers... every month an ID student uses some organic waste filler in a plastic molded utensil and pretends they invented a new material"

"Seem like a nice company. I don’t see a sustainable issue, technically all HDPE, like all thermoplastics, is recyclable. Given to the right company in can be remelted and reused over and over (unlike thermosets). They could already have a deal with their supplier to buy back all cnc skeletons. So if someone is inclined to ship them back a broken leg they can throw it in the bin"

"2 incredible achievements:They convinced thousands of buyers that they have a problem no one knew they had, and they convinced them to spend 50$ On steel plate they could probably procure locally for pennies"

"Stop falling for fake “"

"Step one: stick your hand into the bag (unnecessary step?)2: pull bubble wrap out. 3: pour some amaretto in the bag and shake it side to side. 4 you can dispense your drink into a cup.  "
