Unlike Roscosmos, the things that Logitech produce/use don't blow up.

Here is a blender made by NPO Energia, from recycled rocket parts if the rumours are to be believed.

Works nicely for 20 years already, without a single repair or blade replacement.

I suspect it could blend a crowbar, but didn't try that yet.
Even then, it is unlikely to blow up.

Get a heavy and cordless mouse for your computer... heavy, because it is more comfortable, cordless, because cords like to get cut...

Thanks to everyone.

Since even Mars has a laser now I needed one too, so I bought the Logitech LS1. It has good ratings at Amazon, it feels good for my hand and was not that expensive (15€~19$). I have to say up to now (10 minutes of usage) it's great.:thumbup:

To Urwumpe: Cords might get cut, but usually there's no knife around my desk and my cat is scared of the voices without persons speaking, so it won't get anywhere near that cord. And I made the experience that a wireless mouse is not more comfortable than a normal one, but you must always have some batteries around.

Cords don't get cut by a knife or cat. They get cut by usage (the most exposed is mouse inlet). I lost 2 mice this way in 90's (since then I only consider buying cordless).

It's much more comfortable in my experience.

And children and cats, that don't know that cats don't cut mouse cords. And of course the infamous drunken coder falling from his seat for proper ROTFL.

Anyone else see the resemblance? :lol:

I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday.

I can vouch for the Logitech pro 2400 cordless mouse and keyboard. just be sure to get some rechargeable batteries for the mouse, as standard batteries only last 3-4 months in it.

I have a Logitech M305 at work and an M310 at home. Both are used on a daily basis, and the batteries in both have been lasting at least 6 months.

So, I landed in Orlando today, and you guys will never guess the plane we got on. It was the Airtran Indianapolis Colts B717-200! There's only one in the world, and I just randomly got assigned to it.

"Uh, who goes to war in cowboy hats?"
"Cowboys?"
"Cowboys dont go to war Haggard."
"The Cowboys go to war every sunday. Sometimes monday."

Edit: Same sport, great quote.

With all the devices I have here (most of which I don't even use), my desk feels like this right now.

Just today I learned that 7-Eleven actually originated in Japan. I thought it was American...

edit: nevermind, it started in America, but it became a subsidiary of a Japanese company in 2005.

What's reddit?
Looks like some sort of antique-themed forum with blog pieces.

You replaced the Space Shuttle? Oh, I do not like. Do not like at all. Especially as my STS nostalgia seems to be particularly high at the moment.
