I pretty much dislike going to the theater any more unless it's for a premiere at the Grauman on their big screen where you get the full old-time cinema experience, I always feel like the theater experience in my (extremely reasonable) setup at home is better - I can pause to use the bathroom, beers are $1, the sound is exactly the right volume every time (agree heartily on the too loud complaint in modern theaters who seem to now be playing movies louder than heavy metal shows I go to on the reg) and the picture almost always leaves me with the feeling it was blurry and not correctly calibrated, compared to watching at home which isn't even 4k. I find even the popcorn sucks now, I can do better at home with coconut oil, Flavacol & a Whirly Pop. I would love to be able to pay a ridiculous amount of money ($100??, let's say, for the sake of argument knowing I'm being overly generous to satiate the studios' natural insane greed and delusion) to be able to stream new releases as soon as they're in theaters. Oh no some pirates who weren't going to go pay to see it in the theater anyway got to see decent copies for free, a bloo a bloo, thank goodness there's no piracy now with the current model eh?

Frankly it was impressive how poorly engineered the juicer was. It was pretty design. But the concept of pressing a bag like that on such a large plate is really dumb. Al lot of the machines parts should have totally been cast with a few machined surfaces. That juicer could have been just as effective, last just as long if not longer and been several $100 cheaper to make.

There's no way the engineers designing that juicer had any intention of making something efficient or profitable. That had to have been someone's joke design before they submitted the real one but then it got accepted. They were probably like "this whole project is loving ludicrous but have you seen how much VC money we have to play with?" It was probably a once in a career opportunity to just go balls out and build something with no oversight or restrictions.

It really feels like the kind of project an engineering undergraduate turns in before they've got some real-world experience. It feels like a final-year project. The kind of overdesigning you're encouraged to pursue in Formula Student, as you'd never get away with it in the real world, with actual, y'know, constraints and stuff.

loving Saskatchewan. Driving through, stopped for lunch in Regina, literally gone for no more than 20 mins and some prick has stolen my rear license plate. Filed a police report and I'll have to get new plates when I get back home, but seriously, what the hell? At least they left the front plate with the $texas tow hook plate mount so I don't have to replace it, threw the front plate I the rear so that I'm not hassled by the RCMP on the highways.

InitialDave posted:When I was at uni, they wanted us to make a multi-CD "jukebox" as a project. They were not happy when I read the requirements, and pointed out the cheapest, fastest way was to run X number (I think it was minimum 4) of off the shelf CD drives in parallel with a selector circuit. To be fair the latter is more scaleable. Same changer mechanism with a larger storage rack/more memory addresses, vs X complete readers. I mean probably not for small numbers, but...

Sadi posted:I'd agree. The machined features aren't that well laid out. There are mistake that are big cost adds and just aren't the right way to do things or the right processes. It doesn't seem like they were that experienced, it was early prototype work, or they just don't know what they are doing. At first, I thought it must be great to be an industrial designer working without any financial constraints from the bean-counters; that you could make something that was technically perfect (compared to the Mini, or the Hillman Imp I think, where the accountants asked if they could omit the washer from the wiper arms to save <1p per car, even if it meant they would wear out quicker) Then I realised that they just didn't know what they were doing from a production perspective. Crap design, beautiful realisation. Olympic Mathlete posted:A few years ago I had a posh bike and the Chris King rear hub it had was obscenely well made... Whereas that is just pornography.

X-Lite's spin off brand Muc-Off still exists. I did see word of X-Lite coming back a few years ago but nothing seems to have come of it, I do see a short lady riding a very 90s UK jump bike with X-Lite parts on it though and wonder if she has any idea.
