Week 21 ←→ Week 23

Bad design: both sides are made of the same material. People sometimes rub with the side that’s supposed to be held

→ Week 21...

This is the nicest map of the Nice tram network ever designed

The bread roll is one of the greatest human inventions: it makes any simple ingredient that is boring by itself a proper food

All messengers are bad in some way or another. iMessage lacks platform universality. Telegram doesn’t believe in decency—any message can be deleted forever...

Light switches should always be inside the room that the lights are being switched in. Letting outsiders interfere in internal affairs is never a good idea...

Having a hand dryer and no paper towels in a restroom is a slap in the visitor’s face. There are hundreds of use cases for paper towels, the most basic being blowing your nose

As the UK is about to leave the EU, I have updated my European diagram to reflect the new situation. I also added the Council of Europe for good measure

Bad: hangers. I have to insert the hanger between the sleeves only to have my coat fall when I suspend the hanger on the rail

Rollable TVs have a little talked about advantage: they are compatible with any reasonable aspect ratio

Almost anything can be easily revealed about any internet user. Why not use it to give authors a powerful way to contextualise what people read?

I have a document open as I’m printing it. Then, I catch a typo in a part which hasn’t been printed yet
