They now sell a "working pod" / office garden shed:
I'm afraid to see why they describe it as "autonomous".

I was going to ask how long you expected a $20 piece of furniture to last, because that doesn't sound unreasonable.
But then I looked it up and apparently it costs $140, so
I went to look for a price for that monstrosity, clicked through, saw $20 and figured that seems about right for some cardboard origami desk and didn't look very closely. Well, you're right. For $20 on Kickstarter you get your name printed on some of the initial run.
Looking at current pricing they are $140, but they're $175 if you want a waterproof top.

Well, yeah, I mean, who works in a swimming pool?

Synchronized swimmers.

Fair, there's a lot of paperwork in synchronized water polo.

World's First App-Controlled USB Fast Charging Cable
World's First Interactive USB OLED Fast Charging Cable
World's first for a reason.
-
The animation feature is gimmicky, but the charging measurement feature can be occasionally useful. Of course, you could use one of those instead:
but the cable is less bulky. The price ($26) is not that high, either. On the other hand, it's limited to USB 2.0.
I'd say it's pretty tame on the crowdfunding scale.

@loopback0 I assume Doom support is a stretch goal?

As a bridge troll, I applaud this outreach by the running-meat community.

@Gribnit Fascinating. I prefer my meat tenderized under my horse saddle, as I crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear the lamentations of their women.

E_CIMMERIAN_NOT_FOUND
?Yeah, but the Cimmerian stole it from a rather famous conqueror of the Asian persuasion.

@Carnage creatively reinterpreted, I feel. The Cimmerian version says nothing of taking their wealth, or to ride their horses. Even if these may be implied.

Yeah, definitely Americanised version.

Is that a new C++ cast type? I'm afraid I'm a bit behind on the latest evolutions.

No. It's Java deserialization.

Well yes. Duh. It's totally expected, given what we know of him.
