Hi [senrath], thanks for the message. Are you talking about the filters? People create them but don't use them because they end up with so many. What the app does is allow you to create the filters with-in groups so you have a more organize inbox and a filter system that is now liked and actually useful.
|
Wait, so he's saying he just added a nested structure to organize filters? And that people don't use filters even though they create them, because they create so many? Does he have any idea how they actually work? As in, they are applied automatically, so it doesn't matter if you have a thousand filters, it's not like you have to do anything to make them operate. I just...I guess I'm not his target demographic.

I wish there was a way to pledge money to erase current kick starter pledges. Say if the 1000th steam punk short film is approaching their funding goal, i could reverse pledge $100 dollars and effectively cancel out someone's poor taste. I fear the free market, it must be policed. Someone start a kickstarter for this functionality.

I'm not quite a gamer, but i can appreciate the technology.

Yeah, unless you live somewhere where it regularly gets over 90°F in the summer. Otherwise you have to get up at the asscrack of dawn or wait until 10-11 pm for the temperature to get to something reasonable.

KittyLitter posted:Sooooooo..... What... I... why on earth would you make jerky out of Kobe beef? The ideal cut of meat for jerky is very lean, and Kobe is famous for its fattiness!  e: VVVVVVVVVVVVV Sort of. The term "Kobe" isn't regulated outside of Japan, i.e. any cow farmer (outside of Japan) can just say "My beef is Kobe!" and it will be sold in stores as "Kobe beef". There's also a lot of dumb myths surrounding Kobe beef like the cows are fed beer and given massages and listen to classical music. In general, just think of Kobe beef as a cut of meat with lots of marbling. dijon du jour has a new favorite as of 22:28 on Jun 13, 2013 |

Nnep posted:In other news, the future is here! I've seen a free reports from E3 saying that this thing is actually pretty cool to use with the Occulus Rift. It's expensive as gently caress though and spending several hundred dollars on that, then several hundred on a rift, is not going to be popular (throw in more money for something like the Razer Naga or w/e it's called) with the price tag on it. The biggest benefit would be all the movement you'd do playing games, so that could increase the appeal for non-marathon gaming. taiyoko posted:Yeah, unless you live somewhere where it regularly gets over 90°F in the summer. Otherwise you have to get up at the asscrack of dawn or wait until 10-11 pm for the temperature to get to something reasonable. In the south when it gets hot enough it can still be close to 90 at night. When we had that heatwave last year I think it was 91 or 92F at 2am on one of those days. I think my AC ran non-stop for about 60 hours.  KittyLitter posted:Sooooooo..... Isn't actual Kobe Beef illegal in the US because the way Japan does things doesn't pass USDA requirements? Kickstarter being a US-based company could get in deep poo poo for essentially funding something that isn't legal. Most people don't know anything about Kobe Beef other than it's supposed to be good. When I see 'Kobe' Beef at a restaurant here in the US I just consider it an idiot tax on people that buy it since they're just paying a premium to be duped. The page in the comments detailing this scam is pretty good though. At least kickstarter acts on violations when they won't get negative press for doing so. The only person I know who has actually had Kobe beef, while he was in Japan anyways, mentioned it was good but nothing amazing. Personally I'll take bison over beef 9 times out of 10.

Evil Fluffy posted:
"Real" Kobe beef is rarely exported. (Only to one US company and 2 or 3 Asian countries.) It's also heavily regulated as to which breeds of cattle, what they're fed, where they're raised, etc. in order to be allowed to be labelled Kobe beef. Sort of like Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. So they could get Kobe in the US, but they'd have to buy it through the only approved importer. Looks like they were trying to get around that and claiming to be shipping directly from Japanese farms.
