I'll leave software aside: - Toto 550 bidet and a poop stool changed my life. - Sideclick learning remote that snaps on to a Fire TV remote. - "Neon" addressable LED RGB silicone strips that don't have the fugly individual LEDs exposed. Especially neat when directed by a music & bluetooth controller. - It's something I assembled: installed a waterfall shower head and wand in an apartment using a very long extension pipe, 6 heavy-duty removable bathroom hooks, and strong fishing line for support like a bridge. - Toilet bowl motion lights for not just toilet bowls. - Hand-made plamp hats. - Vinyl records turned into bowls. - Sunglasses made from discarded baseball bats. - Bed made out of enameled rebar with chemical drum nightstands. - Lighting and tornado detector. - Handmade and custom items on Etsy all the time.

  Wooooah! Neat. Inevitably, such beautiful designs will be applied to "health & wellness personal products." Also, why are Etsy sellers offering downloads of unartistic nudes for $5 and others selling tons of Chinese generic products claiming they're "handmade"? Has Etsy stopped curating?

  This is something I never considers. I know Etsy had handmade items, I just never thought about the custom aspect.

  Haha. Of course not. Common sense. We're using them for coaster holders, fake fruit centerpieces, and keeping odds/ends from scampering off.

What are you using for 'Lighting and tornado detector' out of interest? Curious how a tornado detector works.

  Here is the hardware one site uses for locating lightning strikes. It looks like they use VLF (Very Low Frequency) antennas and mostly use time or arrival to locate sources. https://www.blitzortung.org/en/cover_your_area.php https://www.blitzortung.org/en/cover_your_area.php I sometimes listen to the live map as a background noise source with some randomness. https://map.blitzortung.org/#1/10.1/8 https://map.blitzortung.org/#1/10.1/8

> poop stool Doesn't just leaning forward (resting your elbows on your thighs) accomplish the same thing?
- andrei_says_ 6y ago
  No, it has to do with raising your knees higher. Humans were designed to poop squatting. A poop stool brings a sitting pooper closer to a squat.

    How is it different from a squat? Are people not spreading their cheeks? Your body is still aligned the same way when you rest your elbows on your thighs.
