Bloody posted:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1473132493/apple-watch-charging-station?ref=category About Rocco Rocco is a happy baby. His birthday is December 10, 2014. That means I have about 18 years to get that first tuition payment ready. So far he is indifferent about college and woodworking, but as a three month old, I think we should all give him some time to come around.

My favorite part is how you just jam it in there and hope for the best, without blowing anything up. the idea is fine but it's kickstarter so of course we will poo poo on it

oh, okay - the blurb seemed to suggest that this actually snapped over an existing faceplate, not that it replaced it, and people talking about it getting power from the screws made me think that the ones holding the faceplate were live for some stupid reason. so followup question - are american electrical outlets really standardised enough that this will just work everywhere, or does your house have to have been built in one particular month using stuff from one particular supplier for this to work?

yeah and I want to say I've used an outlet at some point that didn't even have screws, it just had a hole you put a bare non-stranded supply wire into and it would lock it in place with no metal bits exposed

This mode offers the user a temperature down to -24C/-11F, and will definitely freeze water out of the air. We would like to develop a small vacuum sealed container for the heat sink for use in this mode. The container will slide over the device, and then the user will use a cheap ($10) hand vacuum pump to remove the air so that condensation can't form isn't heat dissipation in a vacuum loving awful
