John C. Dvorak's "Tip of the Day" recommends the Max Flat Clinch Stapler, which can staple up to 30 sheets of paper with a flat finish. The discussion touches on the continued use of physical paper for dossiers and reports. The hosts also plan a potential future meeting in San Francisco involving a visit to Dvorak's studio.
Google Stapler Abuse, Millennial Workplace Incompetence
A humorous "boots on the ground" report suggests that Google's recent crackdown on office supplies, specifically staplers, is due to employees not knowing how to refill them.

Max Flat Cinch Stapler, Refrigerator Ice Maker Disruption
A listener recommendation led to the purchase of a Max Flat Cinch Standard Stapler, which is praised for its superior mechanical design and flat-folding staples. The discussion transitions into other household products ripe for disruption, specifically the unreliable wire-arm mechanisms in refrigerator ice makers. The hosts suggest that 3D printing and better engineering could improve these common appliances.
