I love my FP5. And the removeable Battery is a nice party trick to pull in room full of techies :D

Old big EMCO lathes had phenolic gears in their gearbox. I know because I got to rebuild one and that was one surprise I came actross and that day I learned about phenolic gears.
Probably also useful as a safety shear point. Better to grind a phenolic gear to dust that to break something expensive.

Also I will never forget the smell of the gear oil.

This essentially. It was an easy voice and more importantly videocall software that was free. There were alternatives for text (ICQ, AIM) which were nice and everyone had them, and voice (Teamspeak, Mumble) which were either not free or you had to host them yourself and neither did Videocalls. So you begrugingly had a skype account too.

Lol. My car sticker say: "Tell your cat I said pspspspsps." and "4.2 Litres ~Washerfluid~"

The secret that I'm a dumbass that thinks I'm funny will never be safe again.

While the point is valid that the devs need to eat and sleep and need to get paid, Mozilla is investing money into stupid shit like AI and starting to sell the userdata after they said that they would never do is the main issue here. I guess you would be pissed if your Wife cheats on you after she told you at the altar she wouldn't?

make it easier to understand people with really thick accents

I feel like people with thick accents will not be understood by the Speech model either
