When I bike, I typically crash after around 50-60 km if I don't make sure to get sugar in some form. For shorter rides I can go without, for longer rides I need to sugar up approximately every 30 km. Some use energy bars/-drinks, I drink OJ and eat candy bars, and I could see maple syrup being effective as well. You preferably want something that's compact and contains lots of easy-digestible sugar. The funding goal seems reasonable for physical production startup. Maple syrup is kinda thick and sickly sweet though, if I started drinking it after exercising for a a few hours I'd want to puke. Also, the fact they've made 40k selling a product which already exists. People just can't be bothered to siphon some out into a small container? hemale in pain has a new favorite as of 09:18 on Aug 21, 2014 |

I think their deal is they're gonna water it down a bit with some sports drink type stuff, minus the flavoring.

hemale in pain posted:I gotta say the original cast all look loving great It's no less gross than any other carb gel-type thing I've ever had. Also, I'm not too bothered about the packet thing. There aren't really any reusable containers that make sense for this type of application. They put these sorts of things in little disposable pouches for a reason.

Apparently there's a kickstarted trainwreck of a smartwatch. A bunch of retards paid 1.5m usd for it on indiegogo, here's what they got:quote:Kreyos promised battery life around 7 days, but most users are seeing 24 hours. quote:The watch's built-in pedometer is apparently rendered totally inaccurate because the Kreyos' vibrate function constantly activates it, making it functionally useless. quote:Kreyos has announced that despite the myriad uses to which they illustrate the watch being put, the device’s storage will only permit a single app (e.g. for a sporting activity) to be installed to it at a time. quote:Users report that the watch fails to keep time unless it maintains its Bluetooth connection to the smartphone. quote:Kreyos itself hides behind a veil of anonymity, with co-founder Steve Tan being the only identified member of the company's leadership, and he has a prior work history of apparently nothing. http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...e-crowdfunding/

They got in on the craze early, made a bunch of money, and they've been so slow in getting them out that they're already basically obsolete before most people even get them.

I've been patiently waiting for mine for over a year now, after lots of 'delayed by a month of two' delays. And now it looks like it'll be poo poo, I'll know when I pick it up after work today. I figured that I paid the $100 so long ago that I really don't miss it, so I'll see what this is like when I get it.

5 seconds of google shows that Faygo direct sells their sodas (and DVDs, and apparel) online both through their own site and amazon. https://www.faygo.com/store/detail.aspx?s=4 http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/182-2756476-3036612?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=faygo (^note Homestuck under related searches...) How could Papa Cheeto have missed this fact?

Nobody around here sells Faygo so I assumed for years it was slang. Its just too stupid to be a real name, it sounds like pig latin for some kind of homosexual insult or something. I realized awhile back it was real, but seriously who buys that stuff? Juggalos are weird.

I realized awhile back it was real, but seriously who buys that stuff? Faygo's been around for much longer than ICP has existed, or even the advent of "Fag" as a pejorative for gay people. It's just a discount off-brand of soda that happens to sell in more than one chain of stores in the Great Lakes/Midwest region. They also have a bunch of weird flavors that don't exist in other sodas. No idea why Juggalos decided drinking it was part of their culture or something though. Group identification is weird.

Make Kenny Loggins eat the eggs. Retsupurae found this gem. It's The Sims meet Simcity meets male pregnancy. Probably. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXgCNTQNp9E Related: The other day I found a meme macro on imgur where the creator laments that he makes games but cannot tell his family that his latest project is Gender Bender Twister Extreme. It's funny to remember that the people who make these fetish porn games have family and friends who have no idea about what they do. The MSJ has a new favorite as of 02:48 on Aug 28, 2014 |
