Not a Kickstarter per se, but certainly in the spirit of the thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy6nZr1J4Jg Go on, guess how much it costs. Now guess higher. $345 to $490

It's not a consumer product though, so it's expensive because it needs a sturdy motor that can run all day every day for years. Not sure about the environmental angle when they only show it with disposable cups with lids. Customers may not be thrilled to stand there while you spin their coffee back and forth for 20 seconds per cup. It would be funny if some more-money-than-sense person bought one for their home. Put a normal mug in the spinner and get your whole room coated in a coffee.

I noticed that they didn't show the Stircle being used on a coffee cup with no lid. Because in that case it would spew coffee everywhere. Which is a situation I can imagine happening with some regularity.

If someone sees a relatively quickly-rotating circle and decides to put their unlidded coffee cup on it, I don't think the problem is the circle.

OH. What the gently caress. I thought it was similar to the calligraphy ink stirrer in which a tiny 'pebble' gently agitates the ink inside the pot. The pebble has a magnet in it, I think, and is tugged around by a separate magnet below, in a machine you put the ink bottle on top of. Stircle dumb. I'd think it goes slowly enough that it won't splash super hot liquid.

The coffee stirring thing is impractical and probably isn't even remotely green when you figure in manufacture, operation, and disposal. But's really satisfying to watch.

The Stircle says it's "for all cups" but it doesn't support a drat coffee mug with a handle. The first time someone puts a narrow cup on there off center it's going to go flying If someone fills their cup slightly too much and neglects to use a lid, coffee is going to be running down into the internals The only use case for this I can think of is a coffee shop - where it could only be used by staff and it might actually dazzle the customer's eye a bit. And even that's iffy because of the added time it takes. Anyone who puts this in their "office, hotel, cafeteria or convenience store" (as they say in the description) is just asking for trouble.

Also, if you really think that swirling your coffee around is the green solution to not using a disposable stirrer, use your hand and not a device.

The Stircle looks less to me like a real kickstarter and more like a student business project. It even follows the basic pitch deck of problem-solution-demonstration, with obligatory font, phrasing, and lovely music.

Reading this over makes it incredibly obvious he planned to kill her from the start (telling the crew the trip was cancelled, and then taking Kim Wall out alone), but what I wonder is, was the entire point of the Nautilus from the very conception actually just his personal murder-boat? It's a real chicken before the egg scenario.

It's a real chicken before the egg scenario. The guy is obviously mentally unstable person who thinks that he is above the laws of common people and can do whatever he wants to. Simplified: "Hey lets make a submarine out of basic supplies" --> actually happens "Hey lets make a rocket out of basic supplies which carries person to the to edge of space" --> actually happens "Hey lets murder someone and get away with no repercussions" --> ... the gently caress you say?
