hi how are you

why doesn't someone just go the whole hog with this.

Introducing the Grundlr - this toaster-sized device will cook you a Michelin-star stone baked pizza and give you a world-class blowjob while bringing your pets and loved ones back to life by disrupting 3D printing and nano technology.

takes one proprietary pod per loved one and your pets will come back to life twice as thick as usual but that's a good thing because it's twice as much pet

Dude says he was under duress now, lol so this was like some kind of al qaeda hostage video for nerds. The lines were so badly spoken, I'd say they'd both have a good chance of lawyering up and putting the whole scam down as performance art on the dangers of awful kickstarters.

I'm watching the rest of the video now, this has to be some kind of performance or hoax.

There's fancy graphics at 5:30, who paid for those if they're all broke and struggling to get by on the product? They're spending more time on editing and creating custom graphics for this video than they spent on worrying about the company's finances. That doesn't make sense.

And the way that guy is talking to the camera... this has to be fake. He's a struggling actor trying to get attention or something.

Peachy Printer is turning into like too many cooks or frog fractions or something. Weird internet art project.

Please support my kickstarter, only $990 (early bird) you can get your very own Kickstarter Machine MachineTM. Set the switch for Artisanal High/Low, add your favorite food to the tray, pop in one of our exclusive MACH-ine pods, and out pops your very own food machine to sell on Kickstarter.

And now they're asking backers to email the Canadian authorities to remind them that laws regarding fraud and embezzlement do, in fact, apply to Kickstarter-born businesses:

I looked at their website several months ago, and it appeared that they were on track - they had even added a proper USB interface, abandoning their crazy idea of controlling the machine through the audio port.

I am genuinely excited for Spinn Coffee but I heard about it on TechCrunch first, which is giving me doubts about preordering it. They did answer my question pretty quickly on Facebook though.

As someone who managed to break a decade-long smoking habit with e-cigarettes and has sucked the robot's cock for a couple of years now, god drat loving "vape culture" is garbage and full of garbage people.

I'm glad that e-cigarettes caught on first and hardest with literal triad members here before assholes could drag us down into the same mire.

quote:

When you put on your watch in the morning, does it reflect who you are?  Well, it should!

We live in a time when everyone has the same stuff, racing for the latest phone, fastest laptop and most advanced gadget. Every single one of these devices will soon be obsolete. Your WATCH, on the other hand, is a chance to reflect your value of striking design and timeless mechanics, and that is why we hope you'll join us in bringing the Limited Edition SOLOSCOPE Automatic to life. Let the latest and boldest mechanical watch by XERIC remind you -- and everyone around you -- that you are making your own mark.  It's time to go SOLO.

The SOLOSCOPE Automatic is mechanical, so the motion of your wrist is all it needs for power. This personal time machine will be right there on your wrist through all the forced upgrades of your gadgets and their planned obsolescence. At XERIC Watches, we are taking a step back to classic mechanical watches, affordably priced, so that you can move forward in your individuality. We believe our creations focus on what really matters when you're the one with most striking watch in your world.

The cheapest of these affordably priced watches is two hundo, and they go up from there. I guess I'm just a sheeple who doesn't see the value of an aresinal bespoke mechanical time piece when I'm already within arms reach of three multifunction devices that can tell me the time this instant.

I still find use for my watch. Sometimes it's quicker just to look at my wrist than pull my phone out of my pocket and push the home button.

It's a cheap, completely basic watch though. Also, it's been like 8 years and I haven't had to change the battery once.
