I’m regrettably not a fan of fidget spinners and wish they’d die in the hellfire they came from, but cosmetically those are very nice. 
Much nicer than just plain hunks of plastic.

Lol so, tell us how you really feel about them…
I have mixed feelings…for certain people, they are a godsend…but for the general population…yeah…big distracting mess…lol
My son happens to benefit with something in his hands, mouth or rocking in a chair…its a sensory thing…it distracts a part of his mind and helps him actually focus on task…way better than drugs imo…

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was a teenager, when it was all fun and new and they gave you cool drugs like Ritalin. I didn’t like Ritalin, only was on it for a year and avoided medication for it. I used to find fidgeting helpful for distracting me when I was deeply in the zone. As I got older, I found myself fidgeting less.
I find that if I need a clear focused head, sensory overload is what does it for me. I sit in the shower. The water droplets in my skin are like hundreds of light ‘taps’ at a time. The static-like noise forces me to focus my internal dialogue as I work through a problem. It overrides that ‘internal fidget’ that’s distracting me.
If it wasn’t such a colossal waste of water, I’d love to spend a few hours a day in it while doing mental labour. If I could afford one, I’d get an Aqua Massage bed and mount a keyboard/monitor in front of it.

i’m similar.
they’re expensive, but there are showers you can buy that recycle and filter the water, now. sensors check the quality and if you dump a load of dirt in, bypass the filter and drain it until the water is cleanish again, then go back to recycling it.

Just an update on the exhaust duct ‘pinholes’. I have replaced the duct with a semi-rigid and have that working well. With the old duct removed, I filled it with water an did not notice any leaks from the spots that were letting light in. The polyester layers are in fact keeping the tube air tight. I edited my previous post so that no one else has the same fears.

My age is showing, I always think of them as the once awesome test equipment and calculators company.

Of course, I used RPN calculators in college since they were the “quality” calculators back then, and certainly used their electrical testing gear. Now basically they make printers, and a few computers (although in fairness I did recently purchase a server from them)

My former profession is showing. I think of them as gas chromatographs, integrators, LCMS and NMR. Before they were Agilent.
