right? i'm not even kidding i've always been turned off by those things but if i had a mounted fish i could talk to that kind of worked i'd buy the gently caress out of it

also i like how it's mouth moves when the 'acknowledge' chime plays

yea so whats the stack on that thing? it probably could be done as a weekend project. do you just have an arduino or something listening to the alexa output doing some dsp to control the mouth movements? You probably don't even need to use the alexa api

The better question is, "Can people start paying closer attention to their surroundings when they're driving?"

starts at 8:50. it's high-loving-comedy i tell you what. the calming lull after the truck turns left, the dawning awareness as you hear the beeping and realize what's going on, the brief pause after the truck backs up into position where everybody can really think about what they're about to do and then, with commitment,

What is next? A dissection of each line on his paystub and the subsequent discovery of conservative politics? The realization that his manager, Craig, is an idiot but still gets to tell him what to do, and that listening to The Offspring somehow makes it better? Maybe the employee discount sends bulk bottled water purchases into overdrive.

No, these are all terrible. I'm talking ULTRA luxury. I'm thinking like make it out of titanium, give it some holes or poo poo for weight reduction and it doesnt' have any markings like a das keyboard or fretless bass.

yes they exist they are called "a machinist's straightedge" and they look like this



not made of titanium tho because you want lots of mass so they don't move around. usually stress-relieved cast iron.


Dairy Days posted:

these exist already & cost even more than standard jagoff gimmick market prices


those are gauge blocks, dummy. they aren't for use as rulers. but you could use them to calibrate your calipers or your height gauge and then measure from that.

ok look you're just not getting this and that's why I'm going to be the rich one and you're going to be the nerd buying the Super Ruler 2.0 (Rulers Evolved)™️ from me for 400 dollars

We're in the business of extending man's senses.

took me ten minutes to realize that they're using "present" as in "presenting something" and "correct" as in "correcting something" not like "here and right"

is there some reason they can't hang a bar or some chains off a light pole or a dedicated span, like in every parking garage i've ever seen.
