You know that pesky physics thing called 'entropy' that claims all electromechanical devices create thermal energy that cannot be used for useful work, and therefore cannot have an energy efficiency of 100% or greater? As it turns out, that's more of a suggestion than a rule. $7610 is enough to build an 'over-unity' engine that makes more energy than it consumes. Buy us a 3D printer. No, we don't need it for any special projects or anything. We just want to have a 3D printer so we can start a business of 3D printing things. Have a bunch of worthless marketing buzzwords that essentially translate to 'we need $125,000 to make an Amazon knock-off, except with fully digital, education-flavoured goods'.

Well hush my mouth, it's flexible funding on Indiegogo. Time to quote Einstein on things that are infinite, I guess.

Our prototype is not yet built and that is the reason for this campaign. Once we have a working model we have an investor who will fund the mass manufacturing of the Quantum Energy Generator. We are asking for $7610.00 (see budget below) to build the prototype which will take 5 weeks.

So, this guy stumbled across a few "New free energy generator that the government doesn't want you to see!" videos, and was so inspired, he decided to build one himself. Neat, maybe I should donate to get one of those sweet Fix the World keychains! quote:Naicheval Robitai said 20 hours ago

I only take whatever cards I need that day. Usually it's just my debit card. Tried wallets in past, just lose them and everything inside. I also dont get the appeal of a giantass bulge pushing into your rear end everytime you sit.

Well, obviously, if you get one of those fancy wallets you want to show it off, so you carry it in your hand together with your iPhone (with its 18 kickstarted attachments).

Orzo posted:As someone who may hope to use Kickstarter in the future (but doesn't dare to until I'm way, way further in development, because I know that making games is hard), this is upsetting. There are so many games projects that are going to fail, and people are going to get (rightly) bitter because of it. My only hope is that people start demanding gameplay footage or evidence of competence before backing a project. When your game comes to fruition please include "Orzo mode" where mouse2 is forward/it's as close to your .cfg as possible (assuming it's a non-puzzle game). Alternatively, make it as a stretch goal. tony police has a new favorite as of 20:03 on Sep 9, 2013 |

She was selling them at craft fairs with the label prix-prix and I thought they looked nice so I grabbed one for like $35 or so. Can't remember exactly. This is what it looked like a few months later: http://imgur.com/Emg85Ww

I don't get this BS about wallets. Nobody besides you gives a poo poo about your wallet. They only see yours for the second between when you take it out of your pants and when you put too little money onto the bar tab and dart your eyes about hoping nobody notices that you're $10 short. Seriously, everyone I know who owns a noticeable wallet has been a cheap loving bastard. Maybe I've been conditioned like one of Pavlov's dogs, but all these Kickstarter wallets might as well be labeled with giant red lettering that say "Massive Douchebag." There's 198 wallet Kickstarters right now. I don't understand it. Wallet design is not a problem that actually exists. Nobody but the spergiest of autistics is currently having a wallet issue that can only be solved by a completely new style of wallet. I would have to have my entire life in order, including career, wife, wealth, kids, house, car, hobbies, and every other mundane aspect of my own personal fashion sussed out before I started paying attention to the fashions of poo poo that nobody but me cares about, let alone sees. It would be like getting a tattoo on my ball sack before filling out all the other body parts.

horse mans posted:Using real handcuffs for bondage is a really bad idea because they can cause injuries to the nerves in your wrists and hands. Use padded restraints. That makes it sound like real handcuffs are a bad idea in general? If I get arrested for stumbling down sixth street drunk and a cop having a bad day decides to arrest me it's cool to cause me nerve damage? Also I almost call bullshit on this claim. I've been arrested drunk and played the part of belligerent screaming at the cop the whole way to the police station that he's a pussy with a badge and he should give me five minutes of a fair fight but he won't because he knows I'll kick his rear end etc etc and that guy tried to break my wrists when moving me from the squad car to the jail intake. He tightened the cuffs up and was holding the middle part and twisting them hard as poo poo (being drunk as all hell I just screamed "I know you're trying to hurt me but you're just a pussy hahaha loving weak bitch etc etc"). It did hurt the next day and left some serious indention and bruises on my wrists but didn't get any permanent damage. If that didn't leave something permanent I don't see how anything could that dude was straight up trying to hurt me rear end (and I deserved it).

If you need a new wallet go to your local flea market and find the guy selling leather wallets and purses. Buy yourself a plain black leather wallet for $10 or $20, put your cards and money in it and that sucker will last for the rest of your life assuming you don't set it on fire or run it through a wood-chipper at some point.
