I wonder how many times one would actually use it, before it went into The Cupboard to await the inevitable trip to the dump.

If I had unlimited funds and unlimited kitchen space I'd go for it.

Think of all the syrup and melted butter that would hold. :eek:

this wasn't the stocking filler I was looking for.... (one of my kids dresses only in camo, top-to-toe, every day, all matching)

Wrong camouflage pattern? :D

OK, who made this thread sticky? It's now 11-28-15 and there's been nothing else going on in Home Base for a week? C'mon. :eyebrow:

Genius.

Fantastic! Whoever invented that could also go in the awesome thread.

Probably invented by Hugh Hefner. ;)

A different kind of safety pin.
Never seen one of these before.

There's one like that holding the tag from my Robert Graham shirt.

This was on a tag too.

Ever see a horse blanket pin? I had a few once.

300 for less than $6 on Amazon. They seem to be popular with knitters to tag rows.

I've got some horse blanket pins around here somewhere.

Not quite ready for prime time, however, I present the Bikem SLV (spooge switch) undergoing personal testing by its inventor.

Implant this device, press the switch through the skin of your sac, and you guys will be shooting blanks. Press the safety release and the switch the other way, and you have live rounds again.

Video is mildly NSFW.

it has a rocker toggle. I can never remember which position is on or off.... can we get a green/red light to glow through your beanbag to indicate the setting???

it's 100% vegan! sign me the fuck up!

I can never remember, does red mean the sperm traffic is stopped and I can go, or does red mean I have to stop because the little guys can go?

One of the things they told Mr. Clod was he needed to come several times after surgery in order to clear the tubes of any stragglers, before considering himself really sterile. I can't remember how many times they said but I remember thinking it was ridiculously high, maybe 20 or something. Of course I'm sure they rounded up to be on the safe side, but I suspect that this still isn't something you'd be switching on and off all the time.

just watched the video... there are 2 switches. and a safety on each that you have to press to turn the flow back on. I guess in case your girl is being rough with the grapes, so she doesn't accidentally switch the tap back to the on position. But it looks like you'd have to pinch your junk pretty hard to hold that safety button while you flip the switch...in order turn it back on..... I guess you'd better really want to have kids.

It's vegan in which switch position again?

This Delightfully Evil ‘New Baby’ Card Plays Sound of a Newborn Screaming.

For 3 Hours.

:devil:

And then he grew up .... 3 more hours of ...

It's not even a year later, and 2.5 of the 5 LED bulbs I bought have failed. The 0.5 failure is that 2 of the 4 filaments of one bulb have stopped lighting up. I think there is a poor electrical connection somewhere in the bulb and it gets strained somehow over time and breaks. The filaments flicker a bit and then stop working altogether.

I can't recommend these bulbs any longer. At $12 per bulb, the price is simply too high to be replacing them after 10 months. The claim was 15,000 hours of operation and the real world results are 500 hours or so. I'd be ok with them if they were $1.

That kind of thing, you have to gnaw at with your canines. Slow and drooly going.

Ewww, that's disgusting, take it... wait... 70 % cacao... let's talk about this with something to wash it ... uh, drink. :blush:

Is there a dimmer switch involved? I've heard that LED's do NOT like them. Same with fluorescents.
As an aside, there is a really weird man in the shop next to my office who is a hoarder. He has a few hundred boxes of 100W incandescent bulbs. I bought him a pizza for 4 boxes. I am in Heaven! I can see again.

Here's a very different one that I've recently seen and admired.

Attachment 54995

This product isn't here yet, but it's giving me hope that in just 3-4 years it will be an option.

An implantable permanent lens that can replace the rapidly stiffening lenses in my own eyes. We already have cataract replacement lenses now and they come in a fixed focus that will make the distance sharp and you have to wear reading glasses to see close up. And there are even more expensive multifocal ones that don't focus on any one distance but instead focus on maybe 6 different focal points and a kind of jumbled image hits your retina and hopefully your brain can sort out the correct one you want to see. I tried multifocal contact lenses and they suck, so multifocal implantable lenses sound horrible.

Ophthalmologist Garth Webb of Ocumetics in Canada has invented a flexible lens that your eye muscles can flex and it will focus on any distance, just like your natural lens. Except unlike your natural lens, it won't get cloudy with cataracts, it will remain flexible, even as you age, and it can be set to the correct power for the shape of your eyeball so your vision is perfect. In fact, it can be set to a power that is better than what you ever experienced, even with corrected vision.


He has multiple patents, and the news articles don't say which patent covers the lens that works, but it looks like it might be this one filed in 2014.

Abstract:When I was young, my eye doctors over-corrected my vision so I had fucking eagle eyes far away, and my eyeballs were still young enough that I could flex my internal eyeball lenses to see shit up close. Now, with 48 year old eyes, I can't focus close up as well any more, so my eye doctor is under-correcting my distance vision to give me a better chance to see up close. So shit is slightly blurry both far away and up close. Sucks.

I would pay a king's ransom to see well for the rest of my life starting today. I should start saving up now. You know insurance won't cover this.

The lens in that abstract sounds like a miniature version those eyeglasses somebody invented a few years back, that had an adjustable liquid lens. they claimed they could be mass produced and distributed to third world countries as a one pair fixes all.

Ah, here it is.

The little roof offers shade, and acts as a roll bar.
The A/C blows cool air on the back of your neck, as well as up through holes in the seat cushions.
At speeds under 20mph it will turn, like a tank, in it's own footprint.
I can picture those short front tracks throwing mucho sand, and not able to trip roll over obstacles, like some of the truck adaptations.
