Heh, I was considering writing a similar answer today. I suppose the cleanest way would be simply to have software support for the sandbox as it is right now, and then have a way of declaring a challenge ready which would "migrate" it to main. It would solve a lot of challenge quality problems if every challenge could only be posted to that before being sent to main after a few people have signed off on it. (If this was mandatory it would however also be necessary to separate challenges and non-challenge posts completely, because it doesn't make sense to post the latter to the sandbox.) — Martin Ender ♦Feb 19 at 13:27
I dunno about wireless earbuds in general. Headphones sure, but earbuds falling out is enough of a hassle even when they have a tether. I can't imagine how much of a pain it'll be when they come out and slam the ground repeatedly.
@NathanMerrill Huh, really? I hate them. Fine for when you're at a desk or something, but I can't use them at all jogging, or even walking half the time.
@NathanMerrill No, I don't think so. The only way I can see a mandatory sandbox happening is by making it part of the software. In that case, I'd assume that the format of the sandbox would also differ slightly from a normal SE question. In particular, the ambiguous up/downvote could be replaced with an explicit "I think this challenge is ready to go to main" vote, and a small number of those (2 or 3 say) could enable the author to migrate the challenge to main whenever they're ready.
@NathanMerrill I think if the sandbox was part of the software it would be more visible and people would likely check it more regularly to see what challenges are coming up. It could possibly even be integrated in the review queue.
@Fatalize Really? I think 5 hours is an amazing amount of live usage in something that tiny. An easy comparison is a Jawbone or Jabra, which are monaural and bulkier, and they are between 5-10 hours of talk time.
@mbomb007 Thanks! :) Funny that you took the effort to look them up in my profile. ;p (For anyone else wondering now: my Twisty Puzzles collection - the collection pictures are actually from a few months ago, I now have one more shelve, which is full again... Really need to make some new pictures, but still have a few puzzles scrambled after my scramble video in February.. Once and never again.. >.>) — Kevin Cruijssen1 min ago

@El'endiaStarman Well, maybe :P The K'NEX computer would be wayyy slower. Though I'm confident an 8-bit adder-subtractor could fit in a 6x10x2 foot space and you don't need that much else for a risc processor
