MindlessHavok posted:The headphones/speakers = microphone is a great way to gently caress your speakers and/or sound card up. What? No it wont. The speakers are going to suck as a microphone because of the size of the cone but it wont do anything except output a lovely signal. If you tried using a microphone as a speaker though you would blow up the mic pretty easily im sure however.

I do this from time to time with my HTPC using a VNC client on my phone if I can't find the remote control sized keyboard/touchpad I usually control it with. Although in that case I'm actually controlling the computer directly instead of syncing up a youtube video between two devices.

A couple of those ideas seem pretty good, like the custom 12 pack or the hooded backpack, and like, half of them I'm seen irl (I've used electrical outlets that had built in USB ports for charging for example). But there's a lot of bad ideas there too. Like the slide on the massive stairway is just asking for someone to fall off. Also, seriously who keeps having problems eating Pringles that there's dozens of hacks out there for them? Just pour them out into your hand or on a plate or something you gross nerds.

I was just listening to something on NPR about pressing your keychain dongle to your head to open your car door from a distance. It turns out it works because of the water in your skull deflects radio waves in a larger sphere,not (as the picture implies) because your mouth is an antennae. You can use it with a jug of milk or a watermelon with just the same effect. You still look like a dope walking through the parking lot pressing your keys to your head though.

We have countdowns on the red AND green lights here in Thailand. The countdowns on the red lights aren't that bad, but it is dangerous if you try to get a head start and someone else is running through the yellow/just-turned-red light. The green light countdowns are horrible, especially when you see there are only 5 seconds left and try to speed through.

Generally yes, the bathrooms are for customers who buy a ticket, not the general public. Putting monitors in each stall is so incredibly stupid on so many levels it stops being funny. What would stop a kid from buying a G rated movie ticket and skipping into the shitters to watch an R rated film? How would you handle audio? Why the gently caress is it on the floor where foot traffic can oh god gently caress it

Choco1980 posted:A couple of those ideas seem pretty good, like the custom 12 pack That's not a bad idea, but on the other hand, is it so hard to just buy a 12 pack each of sprite and coke? If your food/beverage budget for the week/month is so tight that you can only afford to buy 1 12-pack at a time, then maybe it's best you cut out soda entirely. And related to that, a couple grocery stores around my have a "make your own 6-pack" thing with beer. I feel it's a slightly better idea with beer, because you can make it out of 6 beers you've never had before and won't know if you like yet. But in general, they're too expensive. Usually $9 or $10 for a 6-pack of beers that are mid-tier, and would normally go for $7 or $7 for a 6-pack, and $11-$13 for a 12-pack. There's a beer store near me that does something similar, but it's not a "make your own" 6-pack, they make it for you. From beers where maybe a pack got damaged, or someone stole one bottle from a 6-pack in the display case, etc... The same price range as the build your own ones at the grocery store, but 99% of the time it's better beer.

It would never work because movie pirates would be able to simply take a capture setup and tools for disassembling the floor into the bathroom, instead of having to walk all the way to the projection booth and slip some kid a $20.

You're all missing the bigger problem. What about the thirty seconds between leaving the theatre and arriving at the bathroom? Clearly the movies should be projected in the hallways as well. All of the movies currently playing, projected onto the corridor walls, overlapping each other with all of the soundtracks playing at once.

Nice to be able to look down the row and know where the open spaces are instead of driving up and down every row. Even if not 100% accurate its still better than the "X spaces open on Y deck" system the garage at the office I work at uses, which may mean you can park on 2 but have to walk a city block to get to the pedestrian bridge, or maybe the system is so out of whack that there aren't actually 150 spaces open on level 3, or that none of the levels are actually ever full.

There's a parking structure I go to for my volunteer gig many times a month, and there's an upstairs and a downstairs section. The downstairs section has a sensor at the entrance to tell you if there's spots down there so you don't waste your time. I always go down there if the sensor's not lit up and have no trouble parking.
