eithedog posted:While indeed it's pretty great from the technological point of view, I feel queasy about the application. What is the purpose of this, what kind of sense does it have - why would you order something like that? If you'll indeed need it, as you're delving into world of neurology, and yes, if it actually serves a purpose I might be fine with it. Otherwise, no, not really - and I guess the problem I've got here mostly is that people will use these things for fun. Unless I'm missing something, there is nothing left for this kickstarter to prove other than selling the same equipment as a home hobby kit. edit: The people running the kickstarter are the same people who published the kit instructions for the homebrew version a while back.

You're pretty much restricted to places where those bigass roaches live, and on top of that, how does the attachment procedure work? I'm assuming you'd need tiny tweezers, scalpels and a magnifying glass or something. I don't see how this kit is practical outside of a laboratory.

If they're standard metric weights it would be 2x 1.25kg and 2x 2.5kg, so 7.5kg and not 8kg. Which doesn't detract from the fact that it's a stupid way to prove the durability of a wallet hinge.

Fatkraken posted:None of these clever wallets would be much use in Europe (at least on their own), because we actually use coins in day to day transactions. The smallest paper bill in the UK is worth $7.50, and the largest coin about $3.   The Bank of England should bring those back too, they're a lot more convenient for nights out (and microwallets )e: Also a lot harder to counterfeit. A ridiculous percentage of pound coins are fake.

Dogdoo 8 posted:I'd think that paper bills are way easier to fake if anything. Were these polymer or is US currency not worth enough to merit metal counterfeits? Most UK bills have multiple anti-counterfeiting measures, such as watermarks, metal strips, UV markings, microprinting, etc. Overall about 0.0047% of banknotes are assumed to be fakes, as opposed to 3% of pound coins, so that's quite a difference. Also when the print technology exists to implement anti-counterfeiting, the cost of applying it to a new bill is low, whereas if a counterfeiter manages to work around that, chances are they'll go for the higher (but not too high) value ones, so the £20 makes up most of that 0.0047%. In comparison the technology needed to fake comparatively high value coins like the one pound or one euro is not anywhere close. It doesn't help that the Swazi lilangeni coin is minted from the exact same planchets as the British pound coin, so it has the same metal, diameter, and mass at a fraction of the cost.

I like how the adjustable tube is guaranteed to trap piss. And how it saves you having to lift a lid, but you have to flush it with a glass of water or something. Or more likely leave it stinking of piss. And how it's already been solved in a (marginally) less ridiculous way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGghQkeUfnk e: What the gently caress is this? quote:Designed to adjust to any angle - works great in the “morning” Guavanaut has a new favorite as of 18:38 on Feb 2, 2015 |

I mean you can only represent 0 or 1 with a single bit; having polarity on all your bits is kinda worthless for working with negatives, and you'd have to store the number as.... I guess balanced ternary might make it faster to calculate pi using the Leibniz formula, if he was in the 60s and building a computer from the ground up. He is going to do none of these things though.
