Physicists have a favorite no energy transportation solution: dig a straight tunnel between any two points on the surface and it will be downhill for the first half of the trip and leave you going fast enough to make it up hill for the second half, minus loses to friction and air resistance.

Forget magic cars, this guy just invented . . . net bags. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mindboxx/airbagtm-finally-a-bad-ss-reusable-bag-youll-really-love  Look how cool you could be. I have a couple mesh bags, one cotton, one synthetic. They are fine. No good for tiny things like pens or change, but okay. I'm pretty sure they basic design has been around for, like, centuries? It's a design I've always associated with old ladies. Maybe on Coronation Street or old movies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opviTyq9K58 He's so pleased with himself.

Kennel posted:NASA material Bag People posted:Hi Seadon. 👋 Great question! 👍AirBag is made from a high-tech material called polyethersulfone composite nanofibre with added Spandex. The fibre is used by NASA to produce cosmonaut gear. 🚀To be specific, they use it to design cosmonaut helmets. The material is notorious for its mechanical properties, like durability. 💪🏻 Bag People posted:Hi Seadon, many thanks for following up. It isn't polyester, but it is a member of the same thermoplastic family but made with other constituent materials which changed properties of the composite. Although some of these changes were totally predicted and desired, there was one that was really non-obvious and really cool and which made us decide to file a patent application (and that's what we're actually doing these days). Once we get a 'patent pending' status, we will post an update so watch this space! Bag People posted:Hi Jenny! Hub Cat has a new favorite as of 01:31 on Apr 17, 2020 |

They just materialised in your tiny state-provided flat at some point, and you had to use one for the rest of your life. Or until the country collapses, whatever comes first.

I know posting indiegogo is just cheating at the best of times but seriously. Also you have to pay 20$ a month or $192 a year for the app to have access to all the "signals" Hapbee - Choose How You Feel   Hapbee ("Happy") is the world's first wearable that lets you feel calm, alert, focused, relaxed or sleepy on command - all with just a few taps on your smartphone. This unique product allows you to experience the feelings and sensations you desire almost instantly, without ingesting any harmful substance or chemical, while having the ability to return to your normal baseline state within a matter of minutes. Using patented technology and proprietary software, Hapbee sends predictable, low-wavelength electromagnetic signals throughout your body, emulating your favorite feelings and sensations, without the use of potentially harmful substances and chemicals. You're in total control thanks to Hapbee's unique SignalMap functionality. Since Hapbee's different signals are mapped to specific feelings, you have complete control of which feeling or sensation you'd like to prompt with just a couple taps from your smartphone! Most importantly, Hapbee does not require potent chemicals to evoke the feelings and emotions you desire. Hapbee puts you in complete control of the emotions or feelings you want – when you want them - giving you complete control of your state and empowering you to become more mindful of how you feel on a daily basis. This kind of awareness in itself is a powerful movement toward living a better life. Hub Cat has a new favorite as of 10:41 on Apr 17, 2020 |

So if you didn't feel like using the device to change your mood, you set it to "I want to use the device to change my mood" and then you do!

The chaser is when you look at the page and see that it got successfully funded to the tune of 450,000 dollars and since it's IndieGoGo they get to just have that moneyquote:Cut out calories from traditional 'social lubrication' but still enjoy the buzz I wanna buy one, set it to the 'drunk' setting they are tiptoeing around mentioning for legal reasons, do something incredibly dangerous and harmful and then sue them

It's really telling of the intended audience of this scam (in a depressing way) that there are no settings that don't include some type of contentment. It's all about making yourself happy and satisfied because it's for people who lack the ability or desire to seek those things for themselves. Rich person with money to burn who's found success but remains unsatisfied? Don't worry, your Hapbee will give you what 18 holes of luxury golf cannot. Average Joe working long hours and still only barely able to afford time to themselves? No problem, Hapbee will make those few off-hours more relaxing.
