Ok, if anyone from Leaderman is reading: I believe you could make a bicycle-specific multi tool and it would sell like hot cakes.
I meant Leatherman of course

Kiesel guitars is one of the more more impressive direct to consumer guitar manufacturers is America where everything is customizable. And for a good price, too!
Funny to see Kiesel mentioned here. I have two, plus a mid 90s Carvin.
What's your impression on the build quality? Which models do you have? I'm constantly playing with their online builder. Their headless stuff has me intrigued.
Re: Just putting it out there
#63If anyone is in (or knows anyone in) agronomy, please fund/start studies on the viability of using bacillus subtilis, the bacteria behind natto, to ferment animal feeds, thus increasing the latent levels of vitamin K2 in their diets. Notionally, this would lead to conventional livestock (and the people that consume them) receiving adequate levels of vitamin K2, which would likely lower incidents of osteoporosis, dent…
I had no idea natto had these health benefits. I eat natto a few times a week, mostly because it is yummy and really easy to prepare. It is basically instant food if you already have rice. If you like fermented food, I can’t recommend it enough. I guess a lot of people are hesitant though since it is quite slimy and has an odd smell, but if you can get over that, it is really a perfect instant food.
I am an adventurous eating and love trying new foods.
Natto made me retch when I tried it. And it made me retch again when I unknowingly ate it a week later hidden in some rice.
This is not gonna be a staple in the European diet unless the world goes through some radical changes making it an absolute necessity.

what is the definition of "perfect food"? For me that would probably be a banana. eady to eat, tastes great, relatively easy to ship all over the world. even in Japan, half the country doesn't like natto.
> what is the definition of "perfect food"?
I kind of meant it as a figure of speech. For me natto is perfect when I have a pot of rice, don’t feel like cooking, and want something substantial with a rich flavor. So lots of food can be “perfect” under different circumstances.
However if I were to pick one perfect food, I think I would pick the potato.

#65As a corollary to this rule, if a company responds positively to a request/suggestion, they had better do it.
I asked Eero for the ability to assign a specific ethernet port to the guest network and they responded that this was a great idea! But that feature never came; when my (preorder) Eeros burned themselves out, I replaced them with a different wifi mesh system.

What nutrients does a potato offer? Maybe a sweet potato...

I have an Aries and a CS3. Both are made really well. It's really cool to have the builder now vs calling them up and talking them through it. I do recommend calling them, because the sometimes have options that aren't in the builder.
