not really a company, the intention is for ppl to make their own i think?
there's some decent criticisms of it, like, it's clearly a hacked together solution, there's no guarantee to first responders/first aid/etc who find one on someone in anaphylaxis that it's actually got epinephrine in it, the point of the epi-pen itself being that it's all certified together as a device and there's someone to blame if it goes wrong
the issue obviously being that one mob has a monopoly and is charging a fortune for a really, really cheap device and medication just cos they can

oh I was mostly just pointing out the coincidence about the name for me

anyway yeah the last round of price hikes by mylan has inadvertendly for them sparked a big issue and so mylan are making their own generic and im sure competition will arrive

epipens are cool though. when we get an expired one you use it on a cardboard box to see what it does. its bad rear end

you're thinking of the honda motocompo, which was designed to slot into the trunk of the honda today (kei) and honda city (supercompact but not kei) cars, but was an optional extra
i actually saw one a couple days ago at an importer, they're super cool little bikes :>
they also had a tonne of import sports bikes and cruisers, some classic boso style bikes, a couple monkey and mini bikes, etc
place mostly sells nissan silvia/180sx and mitsubishi lancer stuff.

nissan did a whole series of retro-styled cars like this in the 80s and 90s


the Figaro (which you might recognise from a heap of movies???), super cute and a really popular import, but kinda rare


the Pao, which i guess is a cross between a mini moke, mini cooper and citroen 2cv?


the S-Cargo, which is a lovely french pun, based on the citroen 2cv.

the old cartoons are objectively better because they have a timelessness and appeal to every generation when watching them. they have a huge amount of adult content and don't treat you like a three year old with down syndrome. they are still very watchable as an adult and i can only imagine what the kids will think of their cartoons when they grow up and see them again.

the two cartoons came out less than six months apart. the studios accused each other of plagiarism but nothing was ever proven.

they're both kind of unusual for the characters since Tom & Jerry usually just has them running around the house while Bugs Bunny usually annoys other characters like Elmer but here is the one being annoyed.

it's just a little plastic strap on the bumper of the car in front, with the camera on it
they're demoing a kit to make a be-1 'Mini 4WD' car, which is like... a miniature model of a car with rollers on the front and back, powered by a single AA battery
there's kind of a racing series for them, people modify them really heavily and replace bits with carbon fibre, remove material from the gears and stuff, trying to make everything lighter and faster, and even doing aero stuff so it doesnt' fly off the track
there's not really any remote control, there's just a switch for the motor to start running, they kinda just bounce off the walls of the track to steer
i don't really understand the appeal, for the amount of money people probably spend you could probably actually do something interesting, like run in the 24 hours of lemons


now this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUDM4BJDS3Q this is extremely good tho (Who Killed Who?, it's like a bunch of shitposts strung together into a cartoon)

old cartoons can be good, and so can new ones
there were a whole lot of reaaaally poo poo old cartoons but no-one cared to preserve them, so when we look at old stuff we only see the good
