I’m always up for an engineerguy video!

Hilarious that the patent lawsuits delayed the introduction of the improved bases by 20 years, by which time the patents had expired.

sad to see a smart engineer fall for the recyclility lies of plastic.

clothing made of PET fibers are worse than a bottle in the landfill.
