Searching data in the web for the Eccles Jordan circuit with tubes, I found that is almost as old as tubes themselves. 102 years of its creation.

I thought it was a more recent invention.

You *and* Hack-A-Day need to get with-it, sharpen your game, polish your calendar. From an email to my family geeks:

Note that my email is 3 months before the Hackaday article.
Those who are doomed to repeat the past are.... uh, I forget the rest of that saying...

- The superheterodyne radio circuit invented by Edwin Howard Armstrong.

I strongly hate them, and the crocs. And it is said that they are carcinogenic.
I prefer the double triode units :^)

To limit my exposure to plasticisers, I always wear socks when wearing my crocs and always refrain from chewing them! 😉

Well having that peg between two of my toes feels like it is giving me pollicemic cancer. 😉
So I would agree not least because almost anything is better than cancer.
The bad aspect, the noise they made at walking, the carcinogenic theory, and the big possibility of foot fungi make them a less valuable clothing. Not for me.
I don't actually wear crocs Osvaldo, I only said that for comedic effect. 🙂
I've heard people say "My shoes are killing me!", but you've put a new slant on that expression!
I wear shoes with leather uppers and soft synthetic soles. I presume you only wear shoes with leather soles in order to avoid the carcinogenic effect of plasticisers.
Even leather uppers may not be safe as benzidine is used in leather dyes and is linked to bladder and pancreatic cancer.
Not surprisingly, it appears that shoe manufacturing workers are at greater risk than shoe wearers: https://oem.bmj.com/content/oemed/53/6/394.full.pdf
I've found one piece of evidence that wearing flip-flops can cause cancer, but that is skin cancer due to exposure to UV radiation. Flip-flops linked to skin cancer - Telegraph
It may sound strange what I will say here, but it is the more sincere true: at home, I use high heels or be completely barefoot on hardly warm days like those. When I say high heels, I am speaking of 20cm or more of heels. There is a "pleasure" brand that I can buy here. Take into account I strongly like and enjoy high heels and this brand makes them hard to dance. So they support my #40 size and 90Kg of weight. At street, only "the 3 stripe brand" and at work, it is mandatory safety shoes. Surely a doctor or physician will say that they are bad for me, but what isn't bad to the health?
Respect to carcinogenic or not, I am not sure if there are any true in both senses, it depend on who paid the survey or the investigation job. I only repeat what I listen to, no expert at all in this aspect, and too not in many others 🙂

Do you mean Adidas ones like in the attached photo?

Silly me, ordinary trainers for street wear of course!
And your choice of footwear in the privacy of your own home is your own business - although it could be the basis for an interesting new thread! 😉

Keep in mind that originally when high heels were created, they were to be used for men. I don't remember exactly, but it seems to me by Leonardo for the warriors can use more safely their riding. Still now, some "important" politics use them to seem taller. Not my case, certainly I use them because I simply like them.
Now, in 30 minutes starts my vacations, so if the thread is not closed, we can continue in 17 days. Enjoy my absence. I will enjoy High heels in this time.
