Hay guys - check out my new Kickstarter. It's an amazing new way to join two pieces of wood together... Building on the "14oz Kobalt Hammer from Lowes" SDK, combined with the "Box of Nails from Home Depot" codebase, I have figured out a way to join two pieces of wood together. Here - check this out!

code:

typedef struct {
    int hammer;
    int nails;
    int wood1;
    int wood1;
    int combinedwood;
}

if([data valueForKey:@"hammer"]){
        combinedwood = [[data valueForKey:@"wood1"] intValue] + [[data valueForKey:@"wood2"] intValue] + nails;
}

Slashgear says it looks legit so Okay now guys give me the money.

My entire background is mechanical, and being a Harley guy, this kind of thing attracts me, but it didn't exist. One day I found this chain in some equipment I was servicing and thought it was cool so I kept a small section of it and 5 years later the idea came to me...

That's not even the half of it. Can't find the chain you like already? Well let me tell you about my friend McMaster-Carr...

What do you want to bet his nifty piece of random found chain that he thinks is unique simply because he doesn't know where to get more isn't even stainless?

Thanks for sharing, I see they are all nothing at all the same quality, just cheap non-moving castings. Had me worried there for a minute, I wouldn't waste my money on those, the quality of the chain alone is used for micro-precision machines and makes it cost more for the raw material than a cast of something that "looks like" a chain.

I'm so sick and tired of seeing lovely kickstarters that it's good to see a developer cut out the middleman and put a crowdfunder on their own page

I imagine it's the same developers of Eternal Darkness in the same way the White House of today is the White House of 1972

Really? Same president, same chief of staff, same people cleaning the bathrooms?

Wonder if they've posted on /r/atheism yet. Those kindred spirits would understand his plight I'm sure.

He was being sarcastic. Reddit and especially the Atheism subreddit are a cesspool.

AxeManiac posted:

Seems like a wise move since this is the awful kickstarter thread.

Bad Munki posted:

Okay, now I'm interested.

Yeah but for a £1 donation to his project, you GET to design the logo for him! What's that? Most people usually pay YOU to design the logo, not the other way round? Well...


Quite frankly the whole thing deserved bolding in my opinion.

TJS: Destined To Be The Next Harry Potter!
Spoiler: it's not going to be the next Harry Potter. This guy reckons he's figured out the secret formula to writing the next big hit fantasy series and he's very carefully combined what he thinks are the necessary elements into his novels. For some reason it's really really important that his protagonists have as many kung fu moves as possible so his pitch includes a painstaking list of about 70 moves which will appear in the novels with individual links to descriptions & videos of all the moves.
He also goes on and on about how originality is absolutely key to the project's success but his characters and plotlines are all completely derivative. His pitch video is over 10 minutes long and is as boring as hell.

Although he's only just launched this project he's already raised $40 of his $60k project, which coincidentally is exactly how much he got the last time he pitched this project.

There's a lot of pretty stupid ones (oh this number is also the population of some random Swedish town, alright) but it makes some things like KS pretty funny so I call it good.

There's literally multiple dozens of companies that will print any image on a t-shirt or hoodie of your choice. And he's not remotely related to From Software, just profiting off their IP because "I'm a fan!"

It's not likely laundering though, right? Just a good old fashioned scam. I bet people will even get some sort of (cheaply produced) product that gives vaguely plausible readings on calories and stuff, even if it's based on total nonsense.

My main issue with the Barbie armour is home 3D printing still looks like rear end. It's so loving grainy, like those giant lego models at Legoland. I guess more power to people who want their doll covered in voxelized plastic, but it just looks nasty to me
