Not interested in any Fallout romance doujin games unless I can gently caress Tsar Bomba. edit: the bomb, not any characters that might be named "tsar bomba" (i don't know fallout).

But then you get to this: Unfortunately, little sisters are the "in" thing with anime nowadays. With Japan's declining birth rates, a lot of people are only children, and sister is like a GIRL that lives in your HOUSE, so it's gotta be awesome, right?

Speaking of Penny Arcade, their writing style in their blog posts is ridiculous. OH JUST STARTING IN THE MIDDLE OF A THOUGHT PROCESS YOU WERE ON BOARD WITH ME RIGHT?! They have all the subtlety and forethought of a gak'd-out cokehead.

Rat-infested food powder assembled by idiots, which is more expensive than actual tasty food. GREAT LIFEHACK! The Harry Harrison estate should sue their asses.

He's a software developer who was savvy enough to know how to market to the lifehack/transhumanism people who are always looking for a more complicated, expensive, and less-effective way of doing things because it's futuristic.

I went to the page and went "I can't believe this idiot used Vice as a source" but then I saw that the Vice article he quoted was using his own blog as a source. Then I realized that was the only citation that wasn't a direct quote from the guy himself. Also every article he cites is making fun of him.

This sounds like some sorta cyborg fetish bullshit. Like someone watched Ghost in the Shell too many times.

But it is pretty amazing that somebody basically invented "Ensure, but even grosser".

As far as I can deduce from the article, the detector is looking for SPECIFIC molecules. This is a different kettle of fish than going in blind, for which you would probably need some heavy duty lab equipment. If instead you're looking for a yes/no to compounds x, y and z, then you just need x, y and z sensors, maybe biosensors which can be relatively inexpensive; think of the $10 pregnancy tests you can get at the chemists. There are various other technologies which can essentially "smell" specific molecules too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosensor Of course, having a sensor unit like this just tells you whether a very specific chemical is present, and *possibly* some indication of concentration, it can't tell you half as much as the marketing hype would have you believe. You won't be able to test for all contaminants or desirable components, just specific ones, and probably not very many of those at that price. This goes for pesticides and air pollutants as well as cannabis, you need a specially designed sensor for each specific chemical you're looking for, and to test a wide spectrum of chemicals you'd need a whole array of sensors. Looking at the actual indygogo page, they seem to be testing for 6 cannabinoids and 3 potential contaminants, that's great but it's not gonna tell you if your weed has been cut with oregano, or is doused in pesticides or fungus. It's also really obviously designed for people who want to get baked, not medical users, since they are better served by doctors who know which strains have which effects, and growers who have testing done themselves by commercial laboratories. I think what they're *suggesting* they can do is out there, but what they are actually promising when you get right down to it should be possible with current technology.

Is it just me or is there something really...off about this kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lix3d/lix-the-smallest-3d-printing-pen-in-the-world It's another 3d printing pen. And to their credit they have a development plan and put a lot of effort into the proposal and their website. But the video and the fact that everything about the donor tiers and rewards makes me think this isn't a funding project and more of an ad. Something just seems wrong here.
