  The die looks absolutely beautiful. It's like a city on Mars, or Burning Man or something. http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/UurGsklhtJRW2uuB.medium http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/UurGsklhtJRW2uuB.medium

    I like how symmetrical the entire thing is. It pleases my inner OCDness.

      I think you mean OCPD: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocpd http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocpd

        That reddit thread satisfied many pedants, I think.
      • X-Istence 16y ago
        Possibly. However the studies with guidelines on whether or not I would be diagnosed with OCPD would suggest that I do not have OCPD. Either way, for some reason that picture tickles my fancy.

  It's incredible how small the gyro is. I expected something bigger, like a tiny marble (eg the first diagram).
