I'm the mirror on a retractable stick and I pinky promise not to insidiously reflect the high-energy laser beams back towards the proud wielder. I'm also the Spanish writing on some of the "drawings". And also the dream team of Stas, Konstantin and Ruslan. As well as the authorial statement to refrain from using the developed mega-battery in any commercial ways other than the exclusive production of Russian laser swords to avoid going up as a competitor against existing power companies. And the promise that the sword will be able to cut metal sheets in a single swing. Additionally, I'm the suggestion that Russian laser swords will be amazing for fencing practice. I'm many other things in this project, too many to list but all consistently hilarious.

Rapulum_Dei posted:Yeah, you can thoroughly clean your teeth in 3 seconds, of course you can. Then again TBH, I think the whole ”Oh, how to squeeze something that is relatively short time even shorter time”-angle completely stupid angle to sell these things, since I gotta admit, I hate to gonk all over my mouth with toothbrush. Getting the whole thing done once is far more interesting angle than stab my gums/not yet removable wisdom teeth to point of aching. When they know how to make that ”entire mouth efficiently clean”-thing to look something else than an adult sucking a pacifier, then I can throw some money at that direction. simplyhorribul has a new favorite as of 17:49 on Dec 1, 2017 |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0_mZAxklrU Is it spawn camping to post something that’s not on Kickstarter yet? They have a slick counterdown telling me it’s launching tomorrow. It’s not quite physically impossible for this to work as advertised, but I guarantee it will be disappointing. If you leave it in the Sun all day at the Equator it might heat up a litre of water at the end of the day. Their commercial is like a parody of itself.

value-brand cereal posted:Morphcooker works so bad that it even broke your link and leads to "https://4.0.0.184/" ? Fixed. It was supposed to go to a Wolfram|Alpha query for an estimation of the time it would take to accumulate enough energy to boil a litre of water, but I accidentally copy & pasted the query text and not the URL.

It’s not ONLY solar powered. It’s a battery powered heating element that CAN be charged by the sun (or a wall outlet)

At first I figured it was just going to be a conventionalish multipurpose pot/pan that could go over a fire while also collapsing/expanding. Which seems much more viable to me than a pot/pan with a tiny battery and heating element.

thesurlyspringKAA posted:It’s not ONLY solar powered. It’s a battery powered heating element that CAN be charged by the sun (or a wall outlet) I should have criticised the battery capacity first because that’s actually a bigger problem. There’s a reason one doesn’t see many battery powered heaters larger than a hand warmer.  One 18650 cell is about 45 g and will only bring 100 g of cool water to a boil. It takes a rather large battery to do any real cooking.  This fuel canister has about the same energy as approximately one gross of those cells. An electric heating element will transfer a greater proportion of energy to the food than an open flame will, but even accounting for that, it’s 18:1 in favour of butane canisters by mass.

This morning when I checked, it had been pushed back to sometime around noon. Now the countdown is showing it will go up at 10pm. They finally launched it. The numbers more or less check out. They claim will bring two cups of water to a boil in twelve minutes, have a total run time of thirty minutest, that it has 750 g (!) of battery weight, and that it will solar charge in seven hours. That’s pitiful, but at least it doesn’t break any physical laws.

Internet Janitor posted:That looks like some students were tasked with creating a kickstarter campaign as a homework assignment. Is this the kind of thing business schools teach nowadays? That's my suspicion too. We get our second-year college students to make a short kickstarter-style video as a way of articulating a customer problem/solution pitch. I'd never in a million years get them to put it online, and a group would have to be pretty bad to get to that stage with a fake problem idea like that.

I think it's a novel idea if they want to sell individual custom made seal heads for their magnet stick thing. It's a trend of instagram and such to do videos of performing the act of using was seals on paper or envelopes. It is both aesthetically pleasing and to a large amount of people with autism find it mentally stimulating in a specific way for their condition. It usually has nothing to do with legal / security seals. Also I think there's a fairly big industry for super fancy invitations for weddings and special events and stuff who sell wax sealing stuff to people.

gschmidl posted:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jamesyeager/yeagertube Actually just a militia lunatic! From his last kickstarter: quote:So what is AMMONATION? Aren't you sick and tired of the mainstream media telling you that all gun owners are a bunch of right wing wackos? US TOO! We want to portray the people that take guns and training seriously in a 100% no bullshit fashion! We will also be BIASED by showing the world how positive and rewarding gun ownership and proficiency can be. ngl I'm pretty sure this dude is full of poo poo (lol what the gently caress even is a High Risk Civilian Contractor), but he got even more money this time than last time, so welcome to 2018! Also, while googling the term "High risk civilian contractor" I found out that basically nobody else uses that term because it's not a thing, but he wrote a book about his time in Iraq. That's how I found these glowing reviews of his book: quote:The uninitiated should be aware that this man is considered to be a self-promoting POS by many real BTDT's (been there done that) in the Military and Contracting communities. The dash cam footage of how he panicked under stress and ran for the ditch at the side of the road while leaving members of his team to die is shown to every class of individuals attending a major contractors train-up for a certain current contract. quote:Yeager is a fake and has built his entire career on one firefight in Iraq where he was directly responsible for 2 of his teammates getting killed. There is NO book anyone can read to prepare you for civilian contracting. That is not how it works.. There are prerequisites that generally involve military combat experience of which he has none. He got sucked up when a company needed to fill a slot and didn't have enough people to do it. He has a YouTube channel, if you watch one video and think he is awesome, then contracting is not for you. He is a poser to the full extent. I am embarrassed for those who think he is a hero because there is no other "quiet professional" to counter his BS. The simple fact that he responds to every criticism with a YouTube post speaks volumes. He targets the airsoft demographic, DO NOT take his recommendations in a real world fight. quote:Too many infatuated civilians commented on remingtons review. So I'll keep this short and simple. No, I have not read this book, no I never will. Yes, I am in the industry, I'm even oconus at the moment. As such I feel I'm bound to save as many patriotic doe-eyed civilians from reading this as possible.
