Ultraklystron: May 19, 2010; Unsafe At Every Speed

No it isn't. It actually handles FM stereo and poo poo. It's overpriced and doesn't really do what they claim (the only tunes to one station thing, they can all be tuned by moving a potentiometer on the circuit board) but it would sound great and have very good reception unlike a crystal radio.

Incidentally, a build-your-own-FM-radio kit for kids of comparable quality typically would cost $20 - $25 including all parts and instructions, albeit taking up more space since it's not designed to fit in a twee little jar.

So it put in a regular-sized mason jar. Also, you could probably just get an FM radio from dollar tree that you could take out of it's plastic case, and it would fit in the twee little mason jar. Shoot, you could put an android computer on a stick in a mason jar for under 50...

Another wallet. Wallets never fail, this one has passed its goal and still has 55 days left on the clock. The first reward level is intended for people who don't need the product. So you get nothing.

isn't minimalism literally the opposite of decadence? also, countdown until someone puts in the same pocket as their phone and scratches the gently caress out of it.

Pretty dumb poo poo, but I learned about it from this blog post:

http://birthdaypartyprincess.tumblr.com/post/98544685740/ryans-lion

Long story short, she expresses a feeling I've experienced numerous times following this thread: people are spending their money on crappy little overpriced tchotchkes that will just end up in a landfill, while this awesome kid she knows named Ryan, who has massive medical bills and is in a lovely place, could really use that money instead.

If any of you are the type that gets kind of jaded at all the crap in this thread and would rather feel like something cool can be done with crowdfunding, you should totally throw in ten bucks or more to this kid who, if you read that post, is pretty cool. I really can't afford it because of some medical junk of my own that's come up, but I'm in for at least 12 bucks.

I don't think aluminum is hard enough to scratch smartphone glass. I've got a wallet similar to what they're making and it hasn't been a problem. Of course, that begs the question why 458 people are buying this rather than already available and much cheaper options that actually look good.

I mean, gently caress, they're seriously selling it with their domain name laser engraved on the wallet?

Snowglobe of Doom: Mar 30, 2012; sucks to be right

Speaking of potato salad, that guy really did call out loud every backer's name while making potato salad. The video is nearly 4 hours long.

PotatoStock, the actual event where people got to taste the potato salad, was apparently a few days ago.

Edit: here's a field report from someone who attended the event

quote:

studiotau about 16 hours ago

My husband and I drove from Illinois to Ohio for the blessed event and arrived in time for the kitchen prep party held at Piada's corporate headquarters. Piada was *amazing* and did a fantastic job making everyone feel welcome. The Idaho Spud Team were in attendance and you couldn't meet a friendlier bunch - we had such terrific conversations with them over the whole course of the day. Even Zack's family was there, and they shared stories about Zack and the whole Potato unfolding.

Zack himself was friendly, approachable and spent time talking personally with everyone who came. (about 20 of us there) He is as funny and gracious as he appears online. We got to watch as he personally mix up giant batches of the very potato salad we would be eating later in the day.

We all headed over to the Columbus Commons and we all pitched in to help set up the area, and then waited for the main event to begin. The food trucks arrived, the carousel was engaged and big foam blocks were placed in the middle of a large field. The kids came early and the family friendly music performers began playing first.

People started arriving and there was two different kinds of potato salad to sample. (both excellent) Homage came later and sold out of their green Peace, Love & Potato Salad shirts within an hour. (glad I got mine early!) The Idaho Potato team held spuddy buddy contests and offered potato sack races for the kids.

The music kept on coming, right along with the people - there was a decent turn out for almost the entirety of the event. It made for some awesome people watching. Zack kept touching base with us personally over the course of the day, and it made us feel entirely special. He really went the extra mile.

His event was almost entirely staffed by his crew of hilarious friends, and it was fun to watch them all interact. It really was a giant undertaking and they handled it with aplomb and good humor. It was a joy to watch them enjoy the task and one another.

I was so glad we got to make the trip. I will never forget it and my thanks go out to Zack, his crew and all the other vendors that came to enrich our experience.

Peace Love & Potato Salad Forever!

I think we've all been there, jobless with nothing but a bucket of chicken, a bag of spices, a van, an American flag, and a goddamn dream.

Or at least that was my initial impression. Since the campaign started, the guy has actually moved up North (look at the Kickstarter!), looked up chicken recipes, set up his entire supply chain, and he appears to have a kitchen, albeit without a nice pot to do the frying in. He's got a dream, man, and none of us and not even the devil himself is going to be able to stop him. Unlike a lot of crappy Kickstarters, I believe this is going to happen with or without our funding. This guy is Forrest Gump and his shrimping boat/kitchen might as well be built right next to the Field of Dreams. I don't mean to imply that he's an idiot, but that I admire his blind confidence and chicken faith.

I come from Hipsterville where we only eat fried chicken ironically, as a joke, so that other people can look at us and say "Haha. That's hilarious. Let me take an Instagram of that. Imagine if you ate fried chicken and actually liked them." So this campaign touches me in ways both mystical and nostalgic. It makes me yearn for the days when I could eat bad food unironically and wear plaid because it's warm and because lumberjacks are cool, not because I'm trying to convey some dumb hidden message. Every time you eat fried chicken, you get to become a kid again for two minutes.

Fried chicken is hilarious, but I genuinely hate it when people get flak for "trying too hard." We badly need more people who try too hard. It's the most foolish insult to say, "I dislike you because I dislike effort." We are a generation of people who were told their entire lives by nurturing, caring, hippie parents they we are all geniuses. Every boy a wonderboy. Every child above average. But rare is a parent who doesn't care about test scores and IQs, but instead praises their kid only for trying and failing. Effort, man. Effort. That matters so much more than innate intelligence, than knowledge, than wit. You should try to do new things even when (hell, especially when) you think you will fail. This man is trying hard, with all his might, for an aspiration that isn't even lofty. It's humble man wanting for a reachable goal involving the most meager of foods in one of the biggest towns in the most Northern of states.

Yeah, I'll be damned if I'm going to dislike a guy for trying too hard. It's apparent that he has turned to crowdfunding only because he doesn't know how to make fried chicken. I might not believe in the superior deliciousness of Steve Pocher's fried chicken, but I want to believe in it. And I would eat one.

Another thing is that this appears to be a large town where the median household income is 49 grand and googling "fried chicken restaurant Boston" yields 7 million results. A guy making chicken in his own kitchen, of all things, could affect real change there. It's a good story: The unfeeling internet hordes pulling together to fund a displaced southern's kitchen appliance purchase in Boston, Massachusetts. That is something I want to be part of. "Steve Pocher's Chicken" is a name worthy of headlines. I want confused journalists to try to figure out what the gently caress happened, why it happened, and how they can possibly convey the idea of crowdfunding to their readers. It'll be like when CNN tries to explain memes. At the very least, this has the potential to make an entire town wonder about Something Awful. Someday, I would like to drive to Steve Pocher's house, eat some fried chicken, and think of goons.

To finally answer your question about our motivations, it's definitely the third option. We are good and bad meats processed together and extruded as 6 foot tall tubes, both cynical and kind, complicated and salty. Goons are nothing like fried chicken. I pledged $25 for both entertainment and charity. If this works and there's a hungry guy living anywhere who wants his fried chicken recipe, they can have it. Just please take pictures so it's like a child sponsorship charity, only for fried chicken instead of impoverished children. If the Kickstarter fails, then I will have paid nothing and told a guy that I admire his efforts and his gumption.
