Rating:  - great popcorn makerI was looking to replace my whirley pop popcorn maker and I found this one instead. I liked the fact that is made better and would last longer. (I broke the gears on my whirley-pop one). We've used it weekly for about a month now and it's working well. Only problem is the lid not closing, but I had read that in other reviews. I'm not sure how to fix that, but since it's minor, I don't reall mind. Popcorn always comes out great! Rating:  - Perfect Popcorn!I purchased this popper almost five years ago; I absolutely love it!! I have no complaints. I never burn my popcorn and just about every kernel pops. I always use the interior butter drip cup, so even cheap popcorn comes about awesome! My lid fits correctly, so I wonder if this is some type of change implemented in the newer models? Rating:  - Stove-top corn popperThe merchant selling item this is very reliable. The lid would not fit on the first one I received. The merchant sent another one immediately! The lid is very difficult to secure on the replacement, but at least it works. However, the design is cumbersome and difficult to manage. It would make more sense to put the rotating knob directly on top of the lid, and do away with all the silly crank mechanism and the two-part lift-off lid. I almost wish I had never bought the thing, and just kept shaking my regular pan over the heat as I always have. If anyone would design a popper with the stirring knob on the lid, I'd buy it! Rating: - love it!it pops great! my only problem is that i doubled the recipe to make more... DON'T DO IT! THE POPCORN WILL FILL THE MAKER ENTIRELY! Rating:  - Lid Doesn't FitWhat a disappointment. We tossed out our Whirley Pop aluminum popper when I spotted this classier stainless steel model. We were so excited to find a better popper. Well, as some reviewers have reported, the lid doesn't fit. It is a battle to insert the little extension on the lid into the corresponding hole near the lip of the pan. And even once that is accomplished, the lid does not stay put when the corn is popping. We're so bummed out! I have asked the seller to accept a return for credit. I think we're going back to the old-fashioned "shake the big pan over the burner" method. |
A particularly optimistic design firm in Dubai called Timelinks has proposed designs for the Ziggurat, a complete city to be layered inside of a massive pyramid that could serve as home for a million people at a time. Timelinks is currently seeking patents for a variety of technologies that would make such a building possible, including a three axis public transportation system that would run residents up, through and across the pyramid. They've also claimed that with a hybrid wind, solar and steam power the Ziggurat would be able to meet its own power needs, and that there would be enough room to allow for some minor agriculture in designated "green spaces."
Before you just write this off as another wacky internet design concept, consider the absurdly ostentatious structures that Dubai has already built, and the fact that unlike the hyperluxurious ego-boosters currently under construction, the Ziggurat might be a viable housing solution for people who don't have a natural resource-infused trust fund.
