Simple, Clever Object That Makes Washing Dogs Easy
It's called Bath Buddy and I feel like an idiot for not thinking of this
By Rain Noe - Apr 30
The sequence of my thought process when seeing this object:
1. This seems silly
2. Oh wait a sec, this would be very useful
3. WHY DID I NOT THINK OF THIS
The Bath Buddy is a simple, inexpensive object designed to make bathing your dog easy. (I don't know about you and your pooches, but washing mine is like losing a jiujitsu match to a dog while someone sprays you with a hose.)
While that's a Kickstarter vid, the campaign is closed as it's already been successfully crowdfunded. My hat's off to inventors Megan and Rob Hoover, who have perfectly harnessed the properties of silicone to create a useful object.

Hmm... Why couldn't the article mention what this thing is? Neither the text nor the images hint of the function of the object, just the form. To understand what it was I had to look at a campaign video, something that could have been summarized with a few words (not eating into my mobile bandwidth allotment): "With the suction cup it hygienically holds peanut butter or some other sticky treat for your dog on the bathroom wall, making washing more more enjoyable for your four-legged friend".
That way the article becomes little less click-baity link sharing.
PS. I feel sorry for you who have this trouble. My old dog hated being showered in the beginning, until he realized that rinsing off mud/snow with warm water and even getting the hair dryer treatment felt really nice afterwards. Then he started running into the bathroom all by himself after every walk outside. Once he even stood there for half an hour waiting while the rest of a hungry family rushed into the kitchen for a late dinner after a long walk. When we saw that we didn't have a dog eating the scraps falling from the table we found him still standing in the bathtub and felt sorry for him being so good. But don't worry, he got extra treats for being patient with us.!Report as spam -
Dang it that's clever.

Is That Airplane Oxygen Mask Photo an Example of Stupidity or Bad Design?
When that Southwest Airlines flight depressurized last week between New York and Dallas, killing that poor woman, the plane began descending rapidly and the overhead oxygen masks deployed. I'll never understand this compulsion, but one of the chaps in the photo below pulled out his phone to capture this selfie:

BadAbout: A Website Where You Can Complain About Product Designs
No positivity allowed, that's not the point here
BadAbout is the name of a website billing itself as "an online encyclopedia of criticism:" "We allow users to quickly share and discover the drawbacks about something, usually a product or service. We are not a general review site. We collect the bad points to achieve a positive purpose."That's right,

This "Easy Way to Thread a Needle" Hack Looks Great, But I Can't Get It to Work With Machine Needles
Is it me, or is the trick fugazi?
If you regularly use a sewing machine and have declining eyesight, you know that threading that damn needle is the most frustrating part of the process. There are times when I've continued sewing with the wrong-sized needle just because I subconsciously didn't want to insert and thread a new one.
