Plus if you look closely on the page they've already set things up so only early orderers could get them delivered before the end of this year, with the tiers still open having delivery claimed by March next year. Fidget-gadget is one of the few things that gets better the harder it is to use, so they should be pretty OK.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lactate-threshold/lvl-the-first-wearable-hydration-monitor?ref=category_popular It's one of those fitness monitor watch things, but they claim it measures how hydrated you are. Would anyone know if that's technically possible by any means?

How about a meta-soylent, some kind of nutrient loaded transdermal patch? For coders with no time for drinking liquids. I'll call em slappers. Please deposit my dump truck full of Kickstarter money in my backyard please

Soylent is really convenient for an instant breakfast and it has actual nutritional value, which is a cool bonus for food that costs $2 a meal.

Shoot light of the correct wavelength into someone, measure what bounces out, do some processing and who knows what you can measure. No way the thing works though. They're capitalizing on the whole "if you're thirsty you're already dehydrated" bullshit.

It's contaminated with heavy metals and other such crap frequently, plus Ensure/other similar food replacement drinks are cheaper and have actual taste to them. And since they're not made in shady chinese factories or your kitchen, they're actually consistently not-poisonous.

Yeah leaving aside everything else dumb and bad, "can you make a meal replacement shake?" was a long-solved problem before Soylent was "invented." I like that the inventor wears "disposable" jumpsuits and generally LARPs THX1138 tho.

Platystemon posted:Probably like noise cancelling headphones, but those only work because they’re headphones. The moment you move your head a fraction of a millimetre (or try to make it work on two people simultaneously), it would stop working. Not even. The description (despite the terrible English) is fairly clear--they're simply flooding the area with white noise or other "designer sounds" so you can't hear other things as clearly. That's a time-tested technique that works, but I wouldn't be using it in public. The only novelty is that the device vibrates the surface it's on to do it, instead of using a normal speaker like your "rainforest sounds" alarm clock. Why? Who knows!

I'm bookmarking this project. I'm looking forward to backers' comments about 2 years from now.

There was some research done, and Dahir Insaat appears to be the subsidiary or side brand of a large Turkish construction company which typically just does normal houses/apartments/office buildings. My guess is that the person in charge of the Dahir Insaat part is just like the boss's son and gets to gently caress around with weird proposals and 3D modeling all day. And then they register patents for all the dumb bullshit with the hope of being patent trolls later.
