This is โI, pencilโ for the 21st century.
If youโve not read โI, pencilโ, do it now, right after listening to this monologue on manufacturing 15 cent lighters.
Incredible. Very smart people.
Iโm proud to say I already marvelled at these extraordinarily cheap lighters, when I bought a dozen earlier this year, so I would be sure I could light a candle or a blow torch (if itโs piezoelectric electric igniter failed, which they often do). I turned it over and over in my hands and wondered how it was made, never to leak and explode or be empty without warning, yet would light easily with an easily coordinated spin of the wheel on flint component, sparking just long enough to light the gas that your thumb causes as you roll off the flint wheel and onto the valve lever. Have a look if you have one.
Best wishes

๐ณ ๐บ๐ธ โ๏ธ As furious redistricting battles continue, Republicans plan to add 14 seats following last week's Supreme Court ruling
California, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio and Texas have already passed new congressional maps and a lawsuits led by a voting rights groups in Utah also resulted in a new congressional map.
Redistricting usually takes place every ten years following the national census, in order to accommodate population changes. The only state which was originally due to redistrict in 2026 had been Ohio.
โWeโve gone from redistricting every ten years to what feels like every five minutes,โ said David Wasserman, an elections analyst for the Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan newsletter. โWeโre in an era of manic redistricting. And if one party doesnโt seize the opportunity, the other party will.โ
The first move was made by Texas last year, after President Trump called on the stateโs Republicans, to redraw their voting maps to gain a Republican edge in the 2026 midterms. The effort resulted in up to five additional US House seats for Republicans in Lone Star State.
