GWBBQ posted:One of my coworkers doesn't drink soda after the nail dissolving experiment in middle school science class. I've explained that stomach acid would do the same thing, but he's not interested in starting to drink it. Probably better for him in the long run. It’s just one of those situations where you can’t knock being right for the wrong reason. Tangentially, the acidity isn’t the reason not to drink store-bought orange juice. The real reason is because it’s processed to hell and doesn’t even taste that good, especially compared to squeezing your own (which is kind of a pain in the rear end).

Using cheap feed grade molasses these days is recognized as the cheap and gentle way to remove rust if you have a whole engine or chassis to dip, rather than buying shitloads of rust removing acids. E: Cheap, non toxic, reusable (as it continually makes it's own acid by fermenting I think it doesn't neutralize and go useless after one use) Fo3 has a new favorite as of 10:55 on Jul 2, 2018 |

It's definitely not something that most people would want, but I'm a nerd/tech enthusiast and I work professionally with control systems, so there's something inherently appealing to me about the ability to control things with a wave or tap of my hand. implanted payments aren't here yet, but with VivoKey beta just being released, we'll see where the future goes. We're already ankle deep in the dystopian cyberpunk future, so why not dip my hands in, too.

I'm not sure I'd like to pay by handwaving at a POS. Can that thing really properly distinguish between the gestures for "look, you punched two zeros too many into the amount, right there" and "yes this the exact amount that I want to pay, with my own money, right now"?

The only gesture I will accept for contactless implant payment is rubbing your thumb and forefingers together.

Does it have to be implanted in your hand though? I feel that could often lead to unfortunate ambiguities. It would be better to implant it in a bodypart that says "I hereby testify my consent to this transaction!"

I'm thinking you usually pay with your card, which you'll keep in your wallet while you are not paying to keep it private. Ergo I should implant the chip in my privates, and pay by twerking really hard That should confuse some folks.

A ways back there was a goon who was DIYing a smart gun where the safety was switched off by a chip in his hand. Not sure how far that project went.

Someone made a game called "don't spill your coffee" where you have to scan your NFC badge on your butt and walk through a turnstile while carrying a cup of coffee. It's pretty funny to watch.
