Last week I chuckled upon seeing this online store's inventory of coffee makers: ...10 cups, 12 cups, 18 cups, 50(!) cups: https://www.bialetti.com/it_en/shop/coffee-makers.html?cups=...
(The 50 cups option turned out to be a decorative piece.)
> Dimensions: 31.5 cm x 30.5 cm x 46.5 cm
I mean for a moka pot that's pretty large, but as a total size of an object? Maybe that's why they don't show it next to anything.
Sad. Although I am deeply amused that it's 'made' by Dolce and Gabbana.
Takeaway drinks, particularly coffee, have got so ludicrously large that it has me do a double take at times.
A litre of warm milk…
Also, law enforcement.
If only people would learn to cut the ends off correctly, so the next guy doesn't tear his arms to shreds.
It's amazing how ornately decorated early equipment was --- especially 19th century and earlier.

After the fact, when I moved more in to systems and networking, I found that flat, nylon, waxed lacing cord, with a small nut tied to the end, was lightweight and perfect for throwing through ducting and ceiling spaces very long distances, so you could backhaul cables through the void. It was a real time saver.
Usually these are used for small wires.
A razor (surprisingly) also works, but tends to damage other stuff easier if you slip.
You can run your skin over them all day, no issues.
I don't know that there's a correct way, really. You would probably have to take the time to file or sand the edges. Which kind of levels the playing field with the cable lacing option really in terms of time spent.
The absolute worst thing is to trim at any angle other than 90 degrees -- doing that creates a small knife.
This product likely exists because of a stupid bureaucracy somewhere that has approved zip ties but is such a labor wasting pain in the ass to deal with $75 zip ties are cheaper than getting permission to use more reasonable options.
With California weather and an indoor parking spot I only ended up using about one pack (10? 12?) a year.
Can get 10 m polypropylene strap or ratchet straps for $10 that does the same job and holds more.
Alternately, just loop many zip ties together when you need more length.
Doh.
I often adjust it depending on what I'm doing and after a few years I've not noticed in damage or degradation from sticking the prong through the braid.
