      Like I can see the trash can and paper towel dispenser being useful, especially for someone with disabilities(spoons mean being able to just lift the lid and it's ready to take out would be a godsend), but the cost is insane. I also haven't finished the video yet to see how well anything works. The printer could also be useful I suppose but again way too much money.

      So I've been aware long before I was disabled.
      But, yes, many don't think about it. It's easy to ignore or blame disability on something the other person did. At least that I often see.

      the question becomes... is the value of that shift from minor to major convenience worth a 1,000% markup? and when does it become exploitation of disabled folks? (probably if it is only marketed to them i guess)

    Tip for catching scorpions: They cannot see clear glass, so put a large/tall drinking glass over them. Then slide some cardstock/paperboard underneath. If you tap them from behind with the wall of the glass, they will run forward onto the paperboard. Then you can move them glass and all. I typically flip the glass right side up and give the paperboard a tap. They will then fall to the bottom of the glass and won't be able to climb up the glass wall. This makes for safest transportation. I get Arizona Bark scorpions in my home every summer, so this method helps me a lot.
    P.S. Mosquitoes also cannot see clear glass, so this method works well for catching them as well when they are lurking on your bathroom wall. With your hand at a distance because you are holding the end of the glass, they will not fly away. You can also use something flimsier like a paper towel instead of paperboard for them.
