Yes. I'm able to log into the platform. You need to navigate to https://app.bench.co. I actually don't remember if they provided that URL, or if I just typed it into my browser out of habit. It may work for everyone who was on the platform.

have you found anyway to export this year's data? I've logged in but now I'm worried that somehow opts out of getting the export data

I can’t imagine the frustration you’re going through if you’re a Bench user.

Paying for a service and not getting what you expect, especially when it comes to your taxes is no joke.

Instead of having to start from scratch, our team at Kick is moved quickly to build these resources to help prior Bench customers:

1. Free Bench migration

2. Free 2024 Bookkeeping review calls

3. Free Daily Live Q&As (coming soon)

We’re moving fast and sharing additional resources and updates in real time here:

- https://kick.co/bench

- https://x.com/kickfinance

Other resources on the way include a Tax Extension Guide and Accountant Directory to make sure folks get a soft landing is this difficult time.

If you're running into issues, my email me at conrad@kick.co and I’ll do the best I can to route you to the right place.

I tried to sign up for Kick and received an email that you don’t support my industry. Were an artist studio that makes and retails physical goods. Do you expect to support more industries soon?

Sorry! I should’ve both read and expressed myself more carefully. I meant the Klein bottle topology, not the torus.

EDIT: FWIW torus puzzles are definitely not a new thing - I had this one as a kid: http://img.tradera.net/images/096/270662096_95a37033-d8f9-4c...

Nice! I haven't seen these before. There's also a brand of puzzles called Schmuzzles that are based on an escher lizard and tile. I would say the difference between these and our torus-based puzzles is that they employ a tessellation cut with repetitive piece shapes such that the image is guiding the construction (as all pieces fit in all places). In our puzzles, each piece only goes one place as they each have a unique shape. Our Klein Bottle and Cross-cap puzzles is are a new idea (to the best of my knowledge).

So it's many (more than I want to admit :-) years since my Euclidean and Non-Euclidian Geometry class, but isn't this a cross-cap, not a Klein bottle?

nervous_jessica · 7 years ago

This one is a Klein Bottle but we just released a cross cap one yesterday: https://n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/blog/?p=8068

In the comparison photos, is the poor quality one from something like a MakerBot? Maybe I've never seen a close-up photo before, but I always thought they created higher quality than that.

nervous_jessica · 13 years ago

it's an issue of the size. makerbots can print nice looking things but not that small. the objects being compared are the size of a quarter.
