Here are 10 more premium tech accessories you have to check out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jq5kZamJtN-pZoE.html Also, please excuse the shaky footage in some parts of this video guys, it's been crazy busy with the office/studio move and things are slipping through the cracks.

The sand table looks incredibly cool - the nerd in me wants one. But surely it defeats the entire point of a zen garden in that you get the relaxation/mindfulness while you physically shape the sand by hand...

@death-by-ego Жыл бұрын

Combine that with the knowledge you spent $400 on it.. it removes a fair bit of the zen feeling

@TybaltKaine Жыл бұрын

Came to the comments to say the same thing. A sand table is supposed to be low tech and simple so you can relax and lose yourself in shaping the patterns.

Not really premium but I found that old school pencils and a good sharpener really improves my desk. Before I was using ballpoint pens which I kept losing since all my coworkers use the same ones. Then I switched to propelling pencils but those keep breaking. The regular pencils are great! Simplicity that works is beautiful!

OmG is one of the most interesting setups I've seen on KZfaq. I loved all your accessories and the way you organized them. I bought a Protractor Desk at Barcelona Designs a week ago and, right now, I'm wondering if I should decorate it with a kinetic sand table like that, because it has really blown my mind. Simply fascinating. Thanks for the tour.

@colinpope945 Жыл бұрын

Nice video. Wish we all had enough cash to have a setup this nice :P One point of contention about that rocket notebook: Storing your notes in the cloud is not more environmentally friendly than storing them on paper. Trees grow back, and the only cost to storing your paper notes is space in your home. Storing notes digitally requires electrical energy as long as you store them, and the process of mining metals to build the physical hardware the notes will be stored on is significantly more environmentally destructive than logging and papermaking. edit: I've reached out to their customer service with my reasons for skepticism and their response was that they've done "no in depth research" to justify the claim that using a RocketNotebook is more ecologically friendly than using traditional notebooks.

@@thegreattheone 1. I’m not sure you understand what a hypothetical is, because I didn’t say anything hypothetical. 2. I will provide examples of hypothetical statements: Can you post to KZfaq without using electricity? Can you comment on KZfaq vids without using electricity? Do home devices like sand ball movers have a significant impact on the environment compared with other energy consumers, or is it completely negligible, making any virtue signaling comments about how the creator is contributing to climate change ignorant and misguided? These are more hypothetical. 3. Only like 25% of greenhouse gas emissions come from electricity production (in USA, 2020). Of that 25%, most comes from burning coal and natural gas instead of renewables. That is the important issue, and the computer you’re typing on, or the sand ball machine someone likes, is not. So maybe we should think in hypotheticals sometimes, and not be too rigid and literal

A speaker in the drift would act as an eraser, faster or slower depending on the music and volume. It’d take a serious effort to isolate the speaker vibrations from the rest of the case.
