Also, crossposting this from the OUYA therad:

The Secret of Universe Alpha - a "complete" game made for the Ouya, now help him port it to the PC, even though it wouldn't be that loving hard, or expensive, to do. I mean, doesn't the Unity licensing also allow for PC compiling along side Android? (I have no idea I'm asking). Oh by the way, the guy who made this tried to justify spending $20,000 to make the game in the OUYA thread and is now asking for $15,000 from Kickstarter, no doubt to supplement the bank and help him get out of financial ruin for making a loving GAME FOR THE GODDAMN loving OUYA

Light he argued was too slow in its present known state, but frozen, now there's the future. The new wheel. Tap one end and you will instantly hear it, or even be, at the other end, hundreds of light years later, instantly!

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

tyvek is breathable but considerably less so than, say, nylon or polyester. it's also no stronger/lighter than nylon, it's only desirable properties vs. nylon are cheapness, easiness to bond and imperviousness to most common household chemicals so it's used for envelopes and insulation and overalls, all poo poo that can be churned out by the million and thrown away after one use, and all of which are the exact opposite of what you want out of a bespoke shoe. Also 180g isn't even that light, i'm certain you can buy running shoes much lighter than that.

tyvek is waterproof, disposable and marginally more comfortable to wear on your body than neoprene or latex. that is its only advantage. the reason they make tyvek suits is so that hazmat teams can clean up biohazardous fluids without having to zip up into a literal rubber suit

so i guess the shoes are good for when you are frequently walking through ankle-deep blood, but not often enough to buy rubber boots?

EMILY BLUNTS posted:

also if it was really made entirely of copper it would shear apart and break before you get a single bottle open
also expensive as poo poo
so it's plated? not even giving them a click to find out

they should make it from beryllium copper so that it is strong and lightweight & also toxic as poo poo so they all poison themselves and die

oh i missed this. you're stupid, the change cannot propagate any faster than the speed of light, period, and in reality the change will propagate at the speed of sound in the material the rod is made of. if you were able to watch it in slow motion the rod would actually twist up like a fireplace poker
