Where is the button to start it? Where are the LED indicators? How am I supposed to know how to use this thing?

I wonder if they had meetings about what ethnicity the demonstration lady should be.

It only took one meeting to decide somewhere between Sophia Vergara and Selena Gomez, but ten more meetings to decide on exactly where on that spectrum.

Why does she only say "tortilla" like that and not all words? Would that be too ethnic and therefore scary?

It's not so much that it's scary, it's that the target demographic is people that speak in exactly that way. "Regular" American vernacular, but making sure people know you're cultured by pronouncing foreign words "properly".

Now I want to see an episode of King of the Hill where Peggy has to justify buying this thing, and tries to explain the flour pods to Hank.

Please Kickstart the production of my fan episode of King of the Hill. I don't own the rights to names or likenesses, but I'll deal with that later. I'm sure it'll be fine.

I credit this thread with teaching me that store-bought tortillas suck.

I just have to figure out if they suck enough to go through the trouble of making my own. If only there was a simpler solution.

I wonder how much crossover there is between coffee DRM hackers and vapers who are modding/overclocking their e-cigs.

Edit: ha, check out all the failed/cancelled vaping projects on Kickstarter
Note that vaporizers or related paraphernalia are now prohibited on KS

I missed this earlier:


Holy poo poo. Assuming everyone eats 3 tortillas each it's almost 5 minutes per person. You'd literally break even making the tortillas by hand at 3 or 4 people, and you'd be having fun cooking instead of baby sitting your retard tortilla bot.

The people who would buy and use this product have several things in common. They don't think they have time to learn how to cook, and they don't have two friends to cook for.

If you have anything resembling a Latino population in your area, you should be able to find good corn tortillas. I can get something like four local brands, and I'm near DC.

Wrong lads.
I live in the south of the UK and all I can get is sad store brand tortillas and I'm way too lazy to make like 4 of them or whatever once a month for tacos, and yet I still wouldn't buy that tortilla making GBS threads machine because it is terrible in every possible way. The target market seems to actually be "people who don't want tortillas" which is blowing my mind.

And it all comes out in one long strand. You have to break it into smaller pieces by hand, which makes it more artisanal.

Throw 'organic', 'vegan', 'gmo free' and 'gluten free' on it and people will be flinging money at you. Optional extra step is to make a manual one with a plunger and stick some wood on it, throw on some 'artisan' and 'handcrafted' and other buzzwords and sell it as an EDC pastamaker.

Are we still talking about that motherfucking tortilla maker when there's an idiot who came up with the stupidest Unified Field Theory™ imaginable

quote:

My goal is to travel the country as a journalist to self-promote my theory for Unified Field Theory. I wish to travel to many Ivy-League universities and speak in different venues.

The search for a unified, "theory of everything" occupied much of Albert Einstein's life and career. In fact, he was working on such a theory while on his death bed.

I discovered my theory while playing an online video game. The equation I discovered is, quite simply, zero equals one. Much shorter than even the theory of relativity: e=mc2.

Did Triton disappear from Indiegogo again? It looks like their campaign page has been replaced with a Coming Soon splash page, but they completed their funding a week or two ago.

Could Indiegogo after have canceled the project after it was successfully funded?
