once your hair gets a bit longer it's amazing how much longer it takes to shower and dry it
pretty much negates the time saved shaving by lasers

also heat gets worse :(

once your hair gets past a couple of inches it doesn't really get any hotter

tbh though the thing that finally made me cut my hair was realising that i could get an extra 20 minutes in bed every morning

Therefore we need this production minimum to put the product within reach of people anywhere with 6-20 towels currently sitting on shelves in the bathroom, and taking up considerable energy to wash every week.

how much energy is expended drying an entire goon with the body dryer

okay, so i'm not an engineer or aerodynamics expert or anything but how does a little vent at your feet dry your entire body? especially the top of your head ie the bit with the stuff that takes the longest to dry

well it looks like a lot of vents and there's probably some insane industrial fan in there

more importantly how do they stop it giving you hearing damage, completely destroying any loose items in the room it's running in, and using up way more energy than a decent washing machine would to wash a couple of towels?

tbh i don't think you'd actually want it to dry your head unless you've already got a crew cut because if it did you'd come out looking like you'd dried yourself by licking a bare mains cable

flex funding takes a bigger %, right? so if you're going to hit your target, it's better to have done fixed

flex only takes a higher % if you don't reach your goal, % for fully funded projects is 4% fixed or flex

What happened to those future showers that sci-fi promised where the shower unit would dry you with like an airblade thing that goes up and down? And the shower head should dispense shampoo / shower gel as needed. My shower should just be like a big dishwasher/carwash I climb inside with my 3-titted alien wife.

brat cooking pro-tips (only for raw brats):

pour a couple of bottles of beer into a pot, slice up some onions and throw 'em in there, bring to a boil and throw the brats in to pre-cook them. Take out the brats and grill 'em up, save the beer-onions for topping.

it also seems really dumb to have just that that discrete part of environment simulation

it should be part of an entire system, sure

add stuff like heat/cold, vibration, smell, it would be really cool

but just a fan isnt going to totally change your Bespoke Gaming Experience

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.
building something like this into the oculus rift is a good idea

a fan that sits on top of your desk that is overly expensive and won't work unless specifically implemented by the game is a bad idea

As the sun rises to begin its daily oppression in the forgotten land of Alabama, the prophet begins his ritual. This is not his weekly day of rest, and he must toil until he is plum give out.

Invoking the blessing of a capricious God, he opens a large can of Hormel chili and smiles slightly as it lands in the warming pan with a satisfying plop; an omen of good fortune, he dares to hope. By mysterious dark art the Grill Of Sustenance sparks to life, as sudden as a possum that has been trod upon by a work boot. A cake is brought out from a dark corner, a monument of time so long gone that even The Baketress has forgotten its origins. The prophet gazes at the vent hood, the holy talisman that sanctified this temple and granted protection from the cruel whims of Odysseus. "So much sacrifice, so much toil... but it will not be in vain".

He climbs to the roof of his temple and begins his daily call to prayer.

YA'LL COME OUT TO DOOBIES DOG HOUSE , WE GOT HAMBURGERS, HOTDOGS, BBQ , POLISH DOGS, ITALIAN BEEF SANDWICHES,FRESH COLESLAW, CAKE, COLD BOTTLED COKE PRODUCTS !

Figures appear faintly near the horizon, moving almost indiscernably. They will come; they must come. The pilgrimage of the villagers is all that stands between the prophet and eternal shame. He repeats the call to prayer again and again until his voice cracks and strains from the passion of his devotions.

Finally, the call is heeded and obeyed. A supplicant has come seeking The Doobiest Maximas, a potent blessing. The supplicant and prophet speak in unison: "Piled high." The supplicant desires another indulgence and dares to whisper "Fries." The prophet considers this request thoughtfully, as if granting a request that could shatter the balance of the universe. The prophet gestures toward the menu to indicate the devotion that must be requried. The supplicant gathers the strength within himself to reach into his pocket and open his wallet. It must be this way; indulgences such as these cannot be granted so easily.

As the prophet prepares the meal for the supplicant, a woman enters with her child. She appears young but so weathered, as if she had undergone five years of starvation and torment in the space of a month. The child is unwashed and carries an empty countenance in his unblinking, dull eyes. "Prophet," she asks with a tremoring voice. "Prophet, my child and I desire nourishment, but his simple soul is not prepared for the full measure of lavish blessings you bestow on the rest of this community. How should I care for him in his hour of need?"

The prophet gazes at the holy tablets set out among the altars and repeats their inscurtable mantra. "Plain 6 inch hotdog -- $1.80." He then whispers as if revealing an arcane knowledge thought lost to mankind centuries ago, a truth so shrouded in the mysteries of the universe that the Gods themselves spent eternities trying in vain to unravel its meaning: "(just add fries and a drink to it)."

The woman hears this, and she weeps in joy.
