The mirror

these things also make really good blunt weapons if someone tries to jack you

Why BIC?

Didn't a guy in Sarajevo say as much? Lighters and disinfectant were like cold.

something from thiscatdoesnotexist.com probably.

marlboro or other similar cigarette packaging
theyre really solid for being paper structures

Everything man-made has room for improvements, due to two main factors.
>Technology potential is limitless
>human needs are endless

But if you are talking about engineering basic designs, some of them date way back, and the only thing that has improved over the years, are the choice of the materials...

when i thought that f91w is absolutely perfect i got this. it literally improved on perfection. so i guess is somewhat correct.
both jack and plug degrade quickly if you're not careful, though.

These and Djeeps are the stoner go-tos. The clippers even have a little bowl tamper where the flint pulls out.
Disposability = planned obsolescence = not a good thing
OP started a thread with "perfect technology" and then immediately gets one-upped by better technology, l o l

absolutely based

In my country they don't even have that safety.

The only thing that can be improved is torque and battery life in cold weather (which both keep getting better constantly). Modern impact drivers are versatile, powerful, light and durable. Impacts today are also cheap compared to other tools

how the hell are you supposed to open beer bottles with a round lighter

I hate how zippos just smell like fucking gas all the time.

>no effort required to use or obtain
How is this a bad thing?

I got another.

it can be incredibly easily picked open

The 555 is absolutely legendary. You can still find them, dip packaged, in modern equipment.

it functions more as a deterrent.

this. clipper a best

Zippos smell like fluid because they literally evaporate fluid. Fill your Zippo, sit it on a shelf unused for two weeks, then try to use it.

This was a good idea - but no, just about everyone who cared did imitate this tool just fine.

In what universe has this ever happened.

Smart lights are a fucking meme. Can’t beat a physical switch.

1000Nm by now. When did you need more?

Wouldn't this much torque spin the person holding the driver sooner than a stuck bolt?

no, impact tools only exert the """"advertised" force for a short period of time.

The headphone jack connector is always the first thing that fails on a pair of headphones. In what universe do you live ? Never had one driver die because a finicky headphone jack wire got dislodged ?

If it was constant. But it's more like a series of hammer blows. Which works fine.

Example here:
youtube.com/watch?v=l4wI8wdSVpo

Vibration is an obvious thing, though. I'm not sure much more powerful tools will be practical to work with handheld anyhow.

The wire itself breaks. When they put that protective shit near the end it simply breaks where the protection ends instead. Not exclusive to 3.5 at all.

The Zippo form factor is nice, but spark ignition isn't necessary.

When I was serving my time as a conscript we were required to carry a lighter at all times. The gubmint gave us a box of matches and a minigrip bag. That lasted for a week.
So in one pocket I carried a Zippo because I liked it and in another I carried a BIC lighter because the Zippo was always out of fuel.

never come across one that wasn't garbage. but either way, it can't be improved

oh snap!

The fuck would you post the shitty jet insert when the same company makes a soft flame insert that lets you have all the style of the zippo without the evaporation?

>England doesn't sell them
Fuck this country.

>style
Not the point, fag.

>breaks
Stop buying garbage.
>and renders your expensive pair of headphones useless
Having to replace some cheap wire beats having to replace a dead battery in wireless garbage and my M50x has a detachable wire anyway.

>connected devices are technically shorted purely to save a few cents on a fourth wire
Literally kill yourself.

this. Zippos are a bad design -- clipper is the thinking man's lighter

guess it depends on preference but for me there's too much stuff on the screen. notice how time takes up only 1/3 of screen space? not the case on f105w. well, as long as it functions without any issues it shouldn't matter.

this 2bh. screw threads are obviously variable. I’d also suggest the catenary

One nice feature is them turning on full brightness the same time my alarm goes off
I've never slept through an alarm with them

>never been with stoners irl

I'm just making a joke user. It sucks that my job prevents me from smoking the haze as I did during uni.

Use these at work, absolutely based.

There are loads of cheaper / more precise / more efficient timer chips, just not necessarily better enough to justify changing an old design.

Like a NE5532 op-amp or LM78xx family regulator would be examples of analog tech that's actually done. You can make a different circuit design to take advantage of chips with less forgiving tolerances, but for the niche they operate in, there's still nothing better.

is this so the passenger can steer?

How do you recognize a zippo user? Smells like gasoline and asks for light.

Doesn't that style of pump waste a lot of power?

This and having a remote to turn the lights off from your bed.
And having the lights turn on automatically when you come home.

thinkpads don't quickly lose their charge when unused

what the fuck is wrong with the upper center bubble.
