What would you invent or improve?

[Dan N]

If you were able to invent or improve something, what that will be...?

I have a few ideas but I want to share only a couple of them.

1. Like most guys I need to shave my beard and I use replaceable blades .... the issue is that I need to bash the damn razor a lot to remove the foam and cutted hair between the razor blades.... As improvement it will be an awesome idea if the space between blades were a bit larger and maybe a "something" to push out stuff between the blades from behind towards cutting edge.

2. It's a nightmare to insert 40-50 flash drives into laptop's USB port just to see that it's the wrong one... not what I was looking for.... So, as improvement, flash drives should have a small digital screen to show at least the title of the files stored on it.

Any ideas?

I see what you're trying to do. You're trying to steal our ideas for free. Nice try

Toenails should only grow in the summer so you can clip them on the stoop without any chance of them flying off and getting in the carpet.

Who do I write to get this law enacted? I'm good with repealing toenails if that's more likely to pass.

Why reinvent the wheel? Solutions for you:

That technology existed years ago on MP3 players, which eventually went to phones. So, why have 40-50 flashdrives? Who the fuck even has that many? Go with internet storage, or one large 5TB external usb drive. If you've got that many flashdrives, you're inefficient in physical space vs storage space. Dump the old tech, scrub your drive and get rid of that shit.

I just wipe the razor on a washcloth, the hair comes right out.


And why on earth do you have so many flash drives? That sounds like a nightmare to keep track of.

Many years ago a blade company (I think Gillette) made blades with a "pusher" to clear out hair between blades. But that was about 20 years ago.

It's a shame there's no way to number flash drives and have a "spreadsheet" on a machine you could keep it on to log the drives contents onto and then look up the flash drive contents.

Someone please invent a microwave oven with a door that opens/closes quietly.

@ForceTen , @SaffronBurke "so many flash drives..." - individual projects sent to clients and 40-50 are in fact 202 flash drives since 2007

@ForceTen , I don't think its Gillette, when I've contacted them 3 or 4 years ago about this, their (obvious) reply was to patent a working sample and contact one of their departments. I've said I don't want money and they can put this idea into development no need for compensating me or something like that.
Again, the obvious replay was that they can not move forward based on my word without a legal base

@dilligaf0 Flash drives with digital screen with info about files - What if I don't have a laptop at my disposal to read the spreadsheet... lol... but the idea, your suggestion might work for others

The topic is intended to be fun and engaging, my fault, its a bit to real/serious

Again,I would move away from flash drives altogether. It's slow, you're trusting they don't get lost/stolen/damaged in transit, or worse sharing of potentially infected drives. Not worth the risk. Create a secure FTP download site that your clients have instant access to. Faster, safer, it's what is done in the IT industry frequently.

As to the razors, the reasons why the heads would get plugged is due to various reasons. What I have found to be cause for this is usually not shaving frequently enough. If I have a few days growth, the cartridge heads will plug up quicker. But, it only takes a couple of seconds to clear them in a sink of water, or under the tap. If I shave daily, or every other day, I have zero issues so long as I rinse the cartridge head out occasionally during and then again after shaving. The reason why I posted a double edged safety razor is that even under a week's worth of stubble, they clear out very quickly and I've had no issues of clogging. For me, a week of noth shaving is a pretty good start to a beard, since my facial hair grows quick and in full. Otherwise, go with a straight edge. Definitely no clogging there.

I would have them each in separate, clearly labeled folders on an external hard drive, which is how I store my oodles of porn.
