Edit to add: You can get as far south as Salinas, but then you have to take either Amtrak or Greyhound. AlbieQuirky has a new favorite as of 05:41 on Nov 11, 2018 |

SFers wouldn't be caught dead patronizing the superior Los Angeles. They'd go to Tahoe or reconnect with their fellow whites in Portland.

Great until you forget you retracted your back-legs and you just fall on your arse. Maybe worth backing, just to see that...

"1 kilobyte of analog memory" if it's analog how are you measuring it in bytes? Also, that' "memory" is just a pair of cams which have been known about since the ancient Greeks.

There's a continuous form of Shannon entropy that could possibly give you a figure for memory capacity in bits for an analog system but I doubt they actually did that and probably pulled a number out of their rear end

Apparently Kickstarter doesn't care that the SpyFinder thing is violating their TOS, because it's still up with 7 days to go and $35k pledged, 3.5x its goal. Curiously, it still only has 16 comments, none positive. According to Kicktraq, it had two consecutive days of 7 and 8 new backers, who pledged over $3000 that day, but a day with 12 new backers had only $2300 added. One day had one new backer, and $70 added to the total, which is far too low to get anything, and doesn't cover any tier jumps. Still looks suspicious as hell to me. The foam-block toothbrush one may hit a million dollars before the campaign ends in 5 days. They still have no actual evidence of its functionality, but a commenter did mention it 'barely had enough friction to pass the plaque test', so they may have had an update about it. To 'counter' claims that the foam obviously didn't reach all the tooth surfaces, they photoshopped the image to make the thing bigger: https://i.imgur.com/nqnjktU.mp4 Another commenter brought up several other very similar 'brush your teeth in x seconds!' projects, all of which have failed to deliver, though they all seem to be the 'what if toothbrush...but big enough for all teeth simultaneously?' style. Not a block of foam they claim conforms perfectly to your teeth.

I hope the foam toothbrush thing works. If so, I look forward to buying it at walmart in 10 years. So far none of the miraculous revolutionary tooth cleaners have passed that hurdle though.

quote:To those claiming it’s a scam.... what if it is? It’s not exactly high stakes. The Unobrush single is less than half of what I’ve paid for the Phillips Sonicare I use today. If this product never sees the light of day - or if it underperforms - not exactly a great loss. Really, what if something's a scam? Is "money" really worth anything? If someone concocts some obvious bullshit that convinces people to pay them for nothing, isn't the true backer reward the friends we made along the way?

I paid like, 20 bucks for a Target Sonicare knockoff like, 3 and a half years ago. Replacement heads are about 15 for 3 or some poo poo. So I've spent about 65 dollars probably with no problems whatsoever so far. Why the hell would you spend 200 on a loving toothbrush?
