I just latched onto it being bad because I'm having one of those weeks where literally everything has problems and nothing works the way it should.

Sagebrush posted:Nah, it wouldn't take up anywhere near that much space. Think logically: garnet is a mineral, so it weighs more than water. One metric ton of water occupies 1 cubic meter -- a little bigger than a dishwasher. I'm guessing 1000kg of garnet would be about the size of a 55-gallon drum. I'll have to empty my barrel of lube so we can store it.

hey so i saw the wazer in person today at an autodesk event. perks of being in the hyped up tech bubble idiot capital of the world. tl;dr they are three engineering grad students waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over their head who couldn't answer many of the most basic questions the professional machinists were asking them. "what safety cut-off features do you have?" "uh, well, we're looking into that" "is this lid made of polycarbonate? how long will it stay clear with the abrasive grit flying?" "we haven't experienced that problem" etc. i wouldn't buy version 1.0 but i will be interested to see what they have for version 2, when they add back in 10 features that the professional waterjet guys invented 20 years ago. anyway they are currently at 800,000 dollars with four days in and 56 days to go.

They're targeting first one to roll out March 2017 and then the rest to roll out 6-9 months later at the earliest, per their CEO

don't invest in a complex hardware kickstarter. if it's wildly popular, you'll be able to buy a cheaper version of it from a competent vendor before they ship their first unit. all of these prey on the "you don't want to be left behind!!" fomo, where in reality, the free market will provide

You'll have to specify because their last public update was 2 years ago. Also LOL 3 years to ship something out to someone crowd sourcing is terrible

Migishu posted:You'll have to specify because their last public update was 2 years ago. There were some earbuds in 2011 that did pretty well in funding (several rounds of funding even), and they have still to ship the entire final promised product. They did after about 2-3 years ship a halfway there appeasement product though.

Beast of Bourbon posted:you uh, might want to follow up on that release date there buddy. dude quote:Crowdfunding Campaign: We're scheduled to ship all orders placed before Oct 25 by the end of December. originally it was going to be first half of 2016 for those before october 25, and late 2016 for those who crowdfunded after oct 25. Everything else in 2017. If your wife was one of the first to back it, then she should presumably be getting it in december so again, 6 months.

ahmeni posted:brandon bird did a kickstarter and I think I finally have a worthy cause to back Many years ago, I found myself in a rut--I was about to be unemployed, and the most exciting thing in my life were "Law & Order" marathons on TNT. But in Jerry Orbach's character of Detective Lennie Briscoe, I found a spark. Here was a man made weary by the world, who nonetheless persevered. His acerbic wit and hangdog attitude couldn't mask a natural warmth and kindness. I got off the couch, and put together an art show. I made a "Law & Order" coloring book, which was the first thing I ever did that became a viral hit, and that has snowballed into an entire career making ridiculous pop art. I owe a lot of good things in my life to Jerry Orbach. His own life was also filled with kindness. He wrote a love note to his wife every day before heading to the set of "Law & Order," and he famously donated his corneas after passing away. If that's not the type of person we should be remembering through art, then who is?
