  1. I helped a friend make something like this for a boat. the bracket is the only thing you need to buy if making normal fold-down shelves. They are a good idea imho.

  2. Here is your answer – and why its an awful idea once you give it some thought. “A round can is easier to produce by curving the sheet around a drum. It stores more volume of liquid per amount of metal used. Aluminum is more expensive than the rectangular cardboard packaging for the flats. Makes way more sense to optimize for aluminum cost to have round cans than to optimize it for “storage”.

  3. Even better with draws underneath too.

  4. 300 notes on amazon, you could stash a motorbike in there easily.

  5. Most removals companies will buy your boxes back off you and guess what – sell them as new to the next mover, so the boxes you just bought are probably second hand already.

  6. “If DNA data storage ever does go mainstream, you might have Marlon Brando to thank. Or at least, Olgica Milenkovic’s admiration for him.

    Dr. Milenkovic, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, is one of the pioneers of the effort to store data on DNA. Her first paper, in 2015, used IDT’s gBlocks Gene Fragments to demonstrate random access and information rewriting on a DNA-based storage system. Her second used gBlocks and an Oxford Nanopore Sequencer 7.0 to encode text-oriented files from Wikipedia, then extended that to images.

    Brando made DNA storage history with Milenkovic’s third paper. In that study, her team used oPools to encode eight Brando images in a more cost-effective approach to storage.

    “I was very biased,” she said of the decision to use Brando. “I always loved his movies.”

  7. WANT!

  8. Ha, ace idea, and to ‘hold’ your parking space. Genius.
