You know those bands that're like rolled up and then when you roll them out they sort of snap and change shape and stay rolled out? What're they called? Like, the name of the general class of things that use that technology.
Help, I can't remember what these are called!

"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Found it, nvm! Bistable structures. the bands themselves have various names along the lines of "snap bracelets"
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
called slap bracelets around here. TIL about the "bistable" name.
AFAIK, most of these things in the consumer market are either measuring tapes, or recycled measuring tapes.
"In a field where an overlooked bug could cost millions, you want people who will speak their minds, even if they’re sometimes obnoxious about it."
Today I learned what TIL meant, and OP (I always inferred it as original post), it actually means Original Poster.
OP can be used either way. I usually use it for Original Post myself.Originally Posted by Lebanese Dragon
