    The sand table looks incredibly cool - the nerd in me wants one. But surely it defeats the entire point of a zen garden in that you get the relaxation/mindfulness while you physically shape the sand by hand...

    • @death-by-ego
      @death-by-ego 2 роки тому +17

      Combine that with the knowledge you spent $400 on it.. it removes a fair bit of the zen feeling

      @TybaltKaine 2 роки тому +5

      Came to the comments to say the same thing. A sand table is supposed to be low tech and simple so you can relax and lose yourself in shaping the patterns.

      @@thegreattheone 1. I’m not sure you understand what a hypothetical is, because I didn’t say anything hypothetical. 2. I will provide examples of hypothetical statements: Can you post to UA-cam without using electricity? Can you comment on UA-cam vids without using electricity? Do home devices like sand ball movers have a significant impact on the environment compared with other energy consumers, or is it completely negligible, making any virtue signaling comments about how the creator is contributing to climate change ignorant and misguided? These are more hypothetical. 3. Only like 25% of greenhouse gas emissions come from electricity production (in USA, 2020). Of that 25%, most comes from burning coal and natural gas instead of renewables. That is the important issue, and the computer you’re typing on, or the sand ball machine someone likes, is not. So maybe we should think in hypotheticals sometimes, and not be too rigid and literal

    This video is exactly what I needed after redesigning the layout and aesthetic of my office! With my budget I chose to keep the charging cables but instead grabbed some elago cable management buttons which cleaned them up and thankfully didn’t ruin the minimal desk vibe!

    Not really premium but I found that old school pencils and a good sharpener really improves my desk. Before I was using ballpoint pens which I kept losing since all my coworkers use the same ones. Then I switched to propelling pencils but those keep breaking. The regular pencils are great! Simplicity that works is beautiful!

    If you a musician get the Shure SM7B. A good rule of thumb is if your recording only use mic that connect via XLR cable. If it connects with a USB cable your audio will be very poor. For Podcasts though the USB will work just fine. Thanks for sharing all these cool gadgets!

    I think my favorite is the Blackwing Pencil Caddy Kit. My wife has really gotten into high-end fountain pens, and those really did not grab my attention, but for some reason those pencils do! I think they are reminiscent of me sitting with my Grandfather at his drafting table as a child.

    Nice video. Wish we all had enough cash to have a setup this nice :P
    One point of contention about that rocket notebook: Storing your notes in the cloud is not more environmentally friendly than storing them on paper. Trees grow back, and the only cost to storing your paper notes is space in your home. Storing notes digitally requires electrical energy as long as you store them, and the process of mining metals to build the physical hardware the notes will be stored on is significantly more environmentally destructive than logging and papermaking.
    edit: I've reached out to their customer service with my reasons for skepticism and their response was that they've done "no in depth research" to justify the claim that using a RocketNotebook is more ecologically friendly than using traditional notebooks.
