Pull up thread! Here's something that... I don't know.. is this awful? It kind of looks nice, but who the gently caress has room in their house for a standup mirror that holds your coins?  Already fully funded anyway. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/859783623/the-vertical-coin-bank?ref=home_location

I like it. If you dont have room you can wall mount it. That acrylic is going to be very scratched up if he is building it to the tolerances he claims. 2 dimes is close enough to the thickness of a nickel and I dont trust whoever he outsources the work to complete it. I doubt it will be executed properly. pretty sure its supposed to be "art" you uncultured swine VVVVVVV Fauxtool has a new favorite as of 23:19 on Oct 23, 2013 |

I just have a big old pickle jar I drop my coins in and when it's full I take it to the Coin Star. I've walked by it many times and sighed wistfully, dreaming of it being bulkier, heavier, and harder to move.

I honestly don't know what to think of this campaign to find and capture Joseph Kony. The idea of the Internet exacting crowd-funded justice on a child soldier-employing war criminal is just too bizarre to comprehend. For the meager sum of $25,000, he'll let you join in on his expedition. Things you can use to separate egg yolk: * Your hand * A strainer * Your friend's hand * An empty bottle * Two cracked eggshells * An 8 dollar plastic gadget It amuses me that this guy isn't even the first person to launch a KickStarter for this idea.

So many people bought into that Kony bullshit, as if finding and capturing a man with his own personal army was easy, and then as if creating a power vacuum in an area full of child soldiers is a good idea for a private enterprise.

pathetic little tramp posted:Pull up thread! Yeah, this falls into the category of ideas you have and they seem cool, but then you think about it and realize they are awful. It may look okay, but I don't think many people want a display of change in plastic. (Plastic that will scratch.) If you were an actual coin enthusiast I suspect you would have a better way to display them, something that shows off the individual coins. Something like coin displays that exist. Some kind of novelty to make it more interesting than some coins in between plastic. DStecks posted:Of course it's flex-funding.

Yeah, they can send one of those with a needle full of rat poison duct taped on over.

Heya Goons! Asking for a little help here. I require a Dexcom G4 Platinum Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) in order to life a full, productive and healthy life. http://www.dexcom.com/ A CGMS is not covered by the Canadian Government and the cost breakdown is as follows: The stand alone unit will cost $1840.00 and comes with 4 sensors. A box of 4 sensors will cost $340.00. The sensors last approximately 7 days a piece. I was diagnosed with Type 1 autoimmune diabetes with adult onset when I was 38 (I am 43 now). It is very unpredictable with me. I also suffer from severe anxiety disorder and currently test my blood sugar around 20 times per day. It is almost impossible for me to differentiate a panic attack from a low or high blood sugar. This would be a very dangerous thing to ignore, thus the CGMS would set me free by letting me know what my blood sugar is every 5 minutes. In addition to the CGMS, the costs of my diabetes supplies, while partially funded by the government, are overwhelming. I am hoping to be able to live my life again.

hazatude posted:Heya Goons! Sorry dude. You can't solicit without mod permission first. Personal charity projects are unlikely to pass muster no matter how unfortunate we all think your condition is. It's not because goons are insensitive pricks, but because there would immediately be 50 threads in GBS with people asking for money, many of which would probably be good causes for people in difficult positions. Please edit your post to remove the links and I won't probate you.

DStecks posted:Of course it's flex-funding. I'd love to see the best war criminal hunting jungle expedition that $700 can buy. To be fair, it just started today. If they make today's haul of $1,000 every day, that's a more reasonable amount of money. My favorite part: quote:We will extend his group every effort to communicate with us and surrender peacefully.  "We can do this the hard way or the easy way, you murdering bastard! The internet is here."Really, the page is interestingly written. It's like he did some research on Kony and the LRA and has realistic ideas about what's going on in the region and what a private individual can accomplish, but he wants to also make himself seem like he's going to be a badass Rambo when he gets there. quote:Joseph Kony is not the most violent, powerful or even criminal of men. His Acholi tribal group is just one of many armed ethnic movements in the Northern Uganda. It could be argued that atrocities and human rights violations flourish on all sides and that Kony is simply the most publicized person and his group the most hunted. You may even be shocked at the amount of propaganda generated against the Acholi's and Kony when we find him. But either way you will learn the truth. I'm going to donate and vote for them all to publicly masturbate in someplace nice, like Venice or Milan. William Bear has a new favorite as of 02:45 on Oct 24, 2013 |

Alan Smithee posted:I've always wanted a key holder that was half ninja star I thought it looked sorta funky in a pointless, over designed way, but then I saw how HUGE it is. I'd assumed you like, cut down the keys or something (which would obviously be an issue all of it's own) to make it smaller, but nope, just shove 'em in and end up with a coaster sized hunk of metal hanging off your jeans. Also, $35 retail seems pretty freaking steep for two bits of aluminium and a bunch of screws also quote:This design is not for the object itself, but for the innovation and the personification of the minimalist it embodies.

I had the same iPhone 4 for two years, no case or screen protectors, and it was in my pocket every day with my keys. I have like six of them between all the things I own and a couple are sharp enough to cut through boxes like they're retractable blades or something These key-hiders, iPhone screen protectors, and cases that cover the screen are basically grade a snake oil. Those screens are loving resilient.

Also, player housing, castle building/improving, and a "unique pvp system" Basically they're going to get two of those promises done using their target goal
