Only 13 Covid-19 scam masks open for funding at the minute - my favourite is the leather one you wear on top of your disposable mask. Almost like they don’t get the point of throwing the thing on your face away.... https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lns/cool-leather-mask-during-challenging-times-diy-kits?ref=discovery_newest&term=Mask Tho the compostable ‘N95-style’ mask is a close second.

I'm not sure which moment I'm supposed to have.  An $89 sharpie seems excessive. It's not the worst part though. The procedure for getting refills if you can't or don't want to buy refills from them seems utterly pointless. quote:If you're feeling adventurous you can disassemble a Sharpie retractable marker, snip off the long tail to make it shorter and insert that into your Marksmith.

Putting a knife clip on it so it looks just like a knife when its in your pocket seems unwise and it looks like its harder to open and close onehanded than he is suggesting. The price seems higher than I would think is viable but it doesn't really seem absolutely crazy to me And yeah having to rely on them or sharpie surgery for refills sounds dumb.

Pen Guy posted:Ultimately my goal is to buy the CNC equipment necessary to make these markers and future products at my shop in the USA since I already make a lot in house. At this time I don't have production CNC equipment, so the plan is to have the body made at a factory in China that specializes in Titanium, and then install the cartridges at my shop.  maybe?Anyway the price is because it isn't really for people that just want a durable marker it's for EDC dudes that buy all those dumb belt buckles and money clips etc, same reason its made of titanium for no practical reason when it likely could be made cheaper with a different but as durable(for this purpose) material. Like here a dumb probably hard to use screwdriver that looks like a bullet! MAWST is a multi-function everyday carry blade & bit driver that's uniquely designed and meticulously engineered for daily tasks. It is made of titanium, aerospace aluminum and brass which makes this nano blade extremely tough, and it will withstand years of use.  That made $31,272 from 585 backers.    You have to carry two or the extra bits in your pocket if you think you might need a screwdriver and a knife. Hub Cat has a new favorite as of 09:02 on Apr 5, 2020 |

I will bite the bullet and be the one to ask, why would you need a tiny knife or screwdriver under water, and if you're in these situations so frequently why not just get a Swiss army knife instead

They are mostly tech nerds or aspiring tech nerds working in jobs that aren't "manly" that envision themselves as some sort of frontiersman ready for anything, that's why they almost exclusively focus on the aesthetics of a tool or gadget over practical concerns(like a bullet screwdriver that can't drive screws) since they don't actually consider using it outside of some day-dream fantasy. I always imagine them as a far less idealized Tim the Toolman from Home Improvement, somebody that thinks they are really handy but in reality there is little call for it in their day to day life. There is also a second market of people buying gifts for dudes taking the place of things like sharper image etc. Like here some dude reinventing the wheel on a expensive lipstick/lipbalm tube, with bonus explaining why you should use chapstick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxQu8ZqvBVI What makes Chapstick an Everyday Carry Item? The EDC Sleeve 2.0 is a decorative and protective sleeve made to fit over your Burt's bees Chapstick but that's not all! Did you know that Chapstick actually has over 29 uses that could helpful in an emergency situation!? That is right, something as simple as chapstick can be the difference if you thrive or not in an emergency situation! One of the most popular uses is fire! Yup! Small Tinder treated with chapstick actually burns a significant amount of time longer than tinder not treated. Sure thats Super cool but other uses include Bug bite relief, Patching holes in your tent, Reducing the glare of the sun, protecting your skin from sunburn or wind/snow chap, stopping small cuts from bleeding and even fishing bate! I wouldn't be caught without my EDC Sleeve 2.0! The back story: Just over one year ago I started this company to work to provide the best life that I can for my young son. To be the best provider and father I can be. I set out on a journey to develop affordable EDC products that were also made to last. Through trials tribulations and constant development, the EDC Sleeve 2.0 was born. The past year has been a good ride but this is where the fun begins! By contributing to this campaign you can help me accomplish my goal of taking this product to production. Hub Cat has a new favorite as of 20:42 on Apr 5, 2020 |

Imagine how dumb ladies must feel, carrying around lipbalm in the light small tube that they boght it in, which isn't even military grade high-spec aircraft engineered fire resistant unobtainium. Imagine how happy they would be for a guy to tell them that there is a better way to do this.

The price of that thing is actually lower than I expected when I saw the word “titanium”. Everything about it is bad, though, and I have a really unfortunate brain defect that leads me to back entirely too many pen-like things on KS.
