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".

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 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.

Pro tip: after using a hot pan to cook tortillas, you can use that same hot pan to cook the stuff that goes with your tortillas.

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.

There are a lot of things wrong with this version of the future but the fact that well-off assholes are bleeding money on lovely proprietary foodstuffs due to their Monty Burns-esque inability to do anything themselves is one of the few upsides.

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? https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/world-s-first-artificial-gills-oxygen-respirator--2/coming_soon#/
