The only one on this list I have any respect for (I don’t know all of them) is Blippi. His shows aren’t encouraging shallow consumerism, and often have an small educational content.

I find their videos quite objectionable. The grotesque consumerism/materialism is not the example I want for my kids.

People have very little control over their reactive emotional response. What matters in how your reflective mind processes the instinctive feeling, and what actions you take.

If you want to see 3D dinosaurs in your home, get a parrot, or a canary.

French presses are terrible. They leave too much sediment in the coffee.

You can definitely do a lot better than 2 years to get plastic parts in to production, but it can’t be done over night. I work for a consumer electronics company, and our entire product development and production ramp cycles (including electronics, firmware, compliance, etc.) are approximately a year.

I think Elon Musk is messing with us. The real design will be revealed later. Clearly this was put together in a weekend in a workshop to spoof the media.

Why the public fixation on flying? It’s responsible for 2.5% of greenhouse gas emissions. Meanwhile, cement production is responsible for 12%, and animal agriculture 13-18%.

People keep pointing to air travel for its environmental impact, when it’s contribution to climate change is quite small.

I’m pretty certain Jar Jar Binks is dead. He lived a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.

What is it with Americans and the, “I was first in my family to attend college” cliche? Why is that something particularly to brag about?

“English speaking people” didn’t even settle on automobile. In the UK (and Australia), they’re called cars.

In the UK we use trees. I’m not sure how effective they are compared to walls, but they certainly look a lot better. When I moved to SoCal I found the freeways so depressing.

The use of concrete in the US is a big problem for noise. The reason for its widespread use is lobbying by the cement industry leading up to the…

I don’t understand your reaction. What did you expect early motorized buses to look like?

Conventional door mirrors create drag that reduce gas mileage by 3-7%.

I’m looking at my 65" E7 that I bought on a previous Massdrop right now. I put it on the wall last weekend, and still gasp when I look at it.

Is that beard legal if you’re not living in a wooden hut in a forest?

Damn you! I just blew my entire tax rebate on a 65-inch. Grrr.
