The industrial variants do nothing for me, but I know others here like them:

Oh that looks nice. I'll monitor this auction but I have a feeling it will go sky high.

That can be worked around. Anything will sit still on 3 points.

I would find 3 half-round rubber feet (like spheres sliced in half) and make those be the contact points.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Silver label industrial is very sweet. The silver label types like a dream, best of the Model M's in my opinion.
