Was also very popular in communist era Poland, including people extending the paper models to be capable of self-propelled taxiing and certain set of "moveable" features implemented as extras.

Mały Modelarz, right?

Yes, exactly.

I also had a book about techniques to use when building planes from such cut outs, and it included a chapter on "extras" like putting lights, small electric engines, etc. into the plane which sometimes allowed enough power that they would taxii on the table :)

I'm interested. LMK if you end up posting them. Thanks for sharing.

Here are the links for these files at archive.org. I have the actual files too in case any of these links have stopped working. http://web.archive.org/web/20040607002835/http://www.iafe.ne... http://web.archive.org/web/20040607002835/http://www.iafe.ne... http://web.archive.org/web/20040607002835/http://www.iafe.ne... http://web.archive.org/web/20040607002835/http://www.iafe.ne... http://web.archive.org/web/200406070…

The links work. Thank you!

On boring websites, yea. But on Steam, I have definitely bought games after scrolling through that carousel.

Steam doesn't use a carousel, it has a gallery with thumbnails. Those two are not the same thing.

I can't post images here to prove my point, but if the front-page of the steam store is not a carousel, then I don't know what is.

Perhaps not the best example for how abstract something is. The 18650 battery cells that most electric vehicles use looks very similar to an AA battery. You certainly couldn’t tell them apart from an icon.

A fair point. Do the lithium cells have the protruding button on the positive end?

Apologies for the late reply, only just saw your question. In case you haven’t answered it yourself: Some appear to have the “button top” that you know from AA’s but most appear to omit those. But even those without the button top have a smaller contact on the positive side similar to the button top.
