I now know there's a name for the category of my Zoom pull cord.

I've never sold it and I don't plan to sell it. And it's definitely because of Chindogu rule 5 and definitely not because hardware scaling is very hard.

This isn't a rebuke at all or a request to post your content elsewhere, but it seems that a lot of regular Twitter users may not realise that you can't access links like yours without being logged in to Twitter.

Not saying you should care, just pointing it out.

Works for me, I'm not logged in.

Oh, ok sorry. Better to say that for reasons known only to Twitter, some people may need to be logged in to see this.
