#122Love the iteration story, but like, what about pants? And thick winter coats? And stuff I don't want a weird potential fold line slightly to the left/right of centre? Her example rack only contains the clothes that would be perfect for this. My rack and hangers accommodate all my needs with one simple cheap design.
I normally fold my pants in half vertically and over the hanger. How do you normally do this? Some examples here, most of which should work with her hanger size: https://www.wikihow.com/Hang-Pants

the very first sentence she says in her video is "I spent 3 years working on a coat hanger". is there something about the title that bothers you? I get when someone complains that a title is misleading, but I don't understand the commentary when the meaning is basically the same and the person commenting didn't even seem to have watched the first 3 seconds of the video.

#125Does anyone know her cancer situation? It almost bummed me out that she got sick as soon as she became popular.

#126I forgot who she was, so: > Giertz has previously branded herself as "the queen of shitty robots" on her YouTube channel, where she employs deadpan humor to demonstrate mechanical robots of her own creation to automate everyday tasks; despite working from a purely mechanical standpoint, they often fall short of practical usefulness, for comic effect.[9] Giertz's creations have included an alarm clock that slaps the u…
She has tried (and quite successfully imho) to move away from that image and become a respectable creator/inventor. I think the highlights of her maker-career is Truckla, her Tesla she repurposed as a truck and drove to the cyber truck reveal. And her everyday calendar, which is a board of 365 LED and you can click each for everyday you complete whatever your everyday goal is and end the year with a lot board. As I r…

>I’m aware you left yourself a bit of wriggle room versus the absolute claim. Doesn’t change how it sounds. No. What happened here is you interpreted it as a insult to your pride. That did not occur. What occurred was a statement of a fact. It was you're own pride and bias that changed how it sounded. >You know how they say the execution matters, not just the idea? So. What's your point? Everybody knows this. Why are…
> No. What happened here is you interpreted it as an insult to your pride. You see, the thing is, I’m not even incidentally or partially Chinese. I just really despise the Western pride and xenophobic judgement people like you cast! I don’t know how you claim to be neutral, but I’m definitely not attempting to be neutral. Anyways, I’m also gonna end my argument here. I see no value.
How can I be xenophobic against my own race? Additionally how can I be xenophobic against people in my own country who I grew up with?
You don't realize the extent of true neutrality. I see what is now. You're not all about patriotism or pride. You're on the side of idealized fairness. Where all things are unrealistically equal.

But I'm sure she's patented it and amazon wouldn't want to get caught for intellectual property theft so will be diligent about policing sellers. They wouldn't want a bad reputation. And the customs office will destroy any imported product in violation of her patents.
You cannot patent a foldable coat hanger. The only thing she could patent is the specific mechanism she used to enable folding, but I doubt the copycats would use exactly the same design.

#129Pull out retractable closet rod. https://www.amazon.ca/Retractable-Adjustable-Wardrobe-Clothi... Mount under shelf. Use high quality hanger that doesn't damage or crease. No extra folding action. Put nice article of clothing in front and looks very nice. Turning storage 90 degrees for shallow storage solves more problems than folding clothes in half. Having seen tons of these in show rooms, I dare say it's a long sol…
Much goofier looking though.

The way it's presented in the video it does look really nice, but having to pair it with one of their rods is kind of limiting.
