"Back in the day, I had a department store player that was very much like the 1995 Discman.I liked it a lot except for the fact that the buttons were on the top face, like the FiiO, had little travel (like the FiiO) and had nothing to stop them being pressed when the player was in my bag (let me see...).A number of times I got to my destination to find the AA batteries were flat. In the end, I made a ledge around the play button to give it a recess and the problem was solved."
"That really is nice. It's clean, clear and functional.I would also like to see a TetherLock "Fob" with the mechanism as shown but in the shape of a key-fob that could be attached to existing tools so that..a) You don't need to change all your tools at onceb) You can use a tool that isn't available in the TetherLock universe. This really is a nice implementation of a very good idea."
"It's worth looking at the mechanism that steers the golf ball. Called a Whippletree or Wiffletree it's a brilliant, wholly mechanical, digital to analogue converter."
"I know that everyone's wind tunnel will say the same thing so car designs tend to be similar but the resemblance to the Range Rover Evoque is uncanny."
"I followed one in to work this morning and the story is quite different.Firstly, only the horizontal bar is orange (normal for indicators in Europe). The diagonal bars are red.Secondly, only the horizontal bar flashes. The red sections are brake/running lights and are either solid on or solid off.The static image with the flashing arrow you have used has clearly been doctored and doesn't look anything like reality here in Europe."
"How about a 3d printer that uses the same(ish) idea?Enter the Candyfab from the Evil Mad Scientists...https://www.evilmadscientist.com/2009/the-candyfab-6000/"
"I admire their idea but this isn't for me.The practicalities stack against it as does the cost.40-50 Euro for each cooking pot seems very high. It's all about community but only a community of people who can afford $40 each for a skillet. That doesn't solve anything for me.Bring back fondue if you want to cook together :-)"
"I think I might be being a bit daft here so please put me right if I'm missing something but doesn't having a foot high tunnel down the middle mean that the bike is a foot too high and could be lower thereby reducing drag that way?Sorry if I'm missing the obvious."
"I would like to see the numbers on this one.It looks like a big pod for very small rotors but I could be wrong. I've see a lot of drones and the rotors are always way bigger than the cargo."
