Mirificus posted:West Games has posted an official statement regarding the suspension of their Areal Kickstarter campaign to Areal's Facebook page. They've resorted to asking for donations directly. The part about the donations after the vice article is a lie. The kicktraq shows only a few donations, yet it gained 20k, a stark contrast to the start of the project.

Mirificus posted:Maksym Pashanin of Confederate Express and Knuckle Club fame/infamy is apparently a squatter. Not a cyber-squatter but a literal squatter. The lady that rented to this guy is pretty much Airbnb's ideal sucker too. quote:On day one, after the guest checked in, he called her and complained about two odd things, Tschogl says. He didn't like the tap water (complained it was cloudy) and he didn't like the gated entry to the condo complex. He asked for a full refund, according to Tschogl. She had a bad gut feeling about him, she says, so she agreed to a refund. "gently caress it he can just stay" is that woman being really stupid. The best course of action is to call the cops and get the guy hauled out on to the loving street, not let him stick around for a month or more rent-free. I feel bad for her but she basically procrastinated and its now biting her on the rear end. Well, that and her never bothering to familiarize herself with relevant state laws.

It's at least her house right? She's not one of those idiots subletting their apartment and hoping their landlord won't notice, so she's got that going for her!quote:DEAR PRESIDENT OF WEST GAMES, I dunno what the hell Areal is, but that's hilarious

Those AMAZING BACON WRAPPED GREEN BEANS. I think what happened here is that an old southern lady didn't realize that people were just ironically donating to the potato salad thing and decided kickstarter was the place to find people excited about food. She seems like she genuinely wants to start an AMAZING BACON WRAPPED GREEN BEANS company, despite having a kickstarter that's clearly a copy of the potato salad. Bacon wrapped greenbeans sounded pretty good until I saw the picture. Are they being fried mor actually just poached in oil?

SSJ Reeko posted:At least I get the idea with this one and can see some use for an ultra-durable book that people take everywhere. 40 bucks seems like a bit much to even get a copy though. It's not even fireproof. Hey but maybe one of the reward levels could be a copy of Fireproof.

Yeah this is honestly a pretty good idea and the Bible is a book that's worth starting off with if only because it has a fanatical fanbase with a desire to make sure it stays in excellent shape. Later on they can move onto text books, certain collectors books, ext.

The defendant caused nuisance by ongoing construction in plaintiff's backyard Maksym Pashanin posted:Nuisance, breach of covenant, of quiet enjoyment & breach of contract (lease agreement) The case resulted in the following settlement: quote:Plaintiff's January 2013 Rent Will Be Paid By Security Deposit Held By Defendant. Parties Agree That Plaintiff Will Not Be Responsible For Damages Upon Move-out If Less Than $250; Plaintiff Responsible Only For Damages In Excess Of $250.00" It's definitely the same Maksym Pashanin of Confederate Express. Their listed address in the small claims continue order is the same as Kilobite's Florida offices. Florida Department of State - Division of Corporations - KILOBITE, INC.

I have an irrational hatred of stupid unnecessary tech bullshit, so I haven't really done my due diligence about the likelihood of this being a scam, but here is Sense, which is...an alarm clock? Correction, a "smart" alarm clock. It's like the Pebble or Nest but somehow less necessary. Also, quote:Particulate Sensor can spot the tiniest of things floating around in the air, so tiny you can't even see most of them. But they are there, and they are potential sleep interruptors for many; more than 50 million people suffer from nasal allergies. If the pollen count is high in your neighborhood and Sense detects a rising level of microscopic particles in your bedroom, you should know. A thermostat and a photosensor, sure, but how accurate could this possibly be in a $100 egg shaped thing?

Correction, a "smart" alarm clock. It's like the Pebble or Nest but somehow less necessary. Particulate matter sensors are pretty simple and cheap. Its a gimmick but its there. It wouldn't be able to tell you what is in the air, but it can tell you if there is stuff.What I am not convinced on is waking you up based on your sleep schedule. That seems to be a pretty in style gimmick right now, but I still am, not convinced it can work well, not to the 15 minute intervals they use as examples. People vary in their sleep; I don't know if the science is in. Can their algorithms and an accelerometer actually properly plan your sleep? I don't know, and frankly I don't care. I have a $10 alarm clock and it works fine. I can spend the extra $120 on poo poo I will use while awake. Love these rewards though, for $50 you get a T-shirt and poster of the thing you do not get, and you get "Your name engraved in our website's HTML" This probably isn't a scam though as all the rewards and product components are so low cost; its just another useless tech toy. EDIT: Geeze, 3 people donated $5,000 so they could visit the factory and hand assemble one. I hope those are fakes that will be pulled before launch.

Reading the local Kickstarters seems like a great way to be depressed about where you live. So, why was Zorak's Kickstarter not allowed again? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/921748290/i-want-to-make-a-ham-sandwich?ref=city I've read a few bad pitches before, but this one takes the cake.

Every air purifier has one of those sensors, so it should be revving up to super saiyan when pollen levels go up; no need to wake me, alarm clock, the other machine will do its job. It is funny the first few times someone triggers the air purifier hyperdrive by farting, until it occurs to you that the machine is detecting particulates and then

My favorite part: Risks and challenges posted:The location that has been secured for the building of the pyramid may need the be moved. Estimates show that the bed rock is only 150 feet down. If its more than that it will be to our financial benefit to find a location in the same general area that would be more suited for the project. we will not know this exact depth until funds are in place and we can have test run.

Nintendo Kid posted:That is literally illegal, because of her agreeing to a term longer than 30 days to start with. Rental law is a real thing. You're telling me California law prohibits a person from accepting a refund on the condition that they vacate the premises? Because that's pretty standard wording in apartment rentals pretty much everywhere I've lived (which is outside of California) and while this woman is completely inept in all this, having someone sign an agreement stating "I'm accepting a refund and must vacate within X days" wouldn't be any different than if the refund and move out period was baked in to the original contract.
