This is a great idea!

this is really cool. Kids hate the big plastic keys cos they’re not interesting, they wanna see the things the grownups use all the time

I kinda want one of these.

DUDE. it’s a giant fucking stim board! GENIUS.

This is brilliant 

Shit, I might make one of these for myself

^^


This is extremely devopmentally appropriate and smart




Hey! They had a thing like this at my preschool, because not only is it a great entertainment center, its also a great tool for teaching toddlers fine motor skills.We also had a board with the fronts of shirts, jackets etc cut out and mounted so we could fool around with and learn how to use buttons, zippers, velcro etc, which meant I was dressing myself pretty early. We also had leftover keyboards, computer mice (sans cables) and a mix and match board of connector cables (bolted down and too short to strangle ourselves with) because I lived in silicon valley in the early 90’s when the tech boom was happening and parents would donate computer stuff for us to fuck around with.Im looking at those gate locks up there and that’s a bit of a bespoke parenting- Dad does run the risk of teaching this toddler how to escape a gated area like the yard, but if the kid isn’t prone to wandering, it’s a good safety thing for him to learn.Some other things to put on a fine motor skills stimboard: doorknobs and handles, switches and buttons (esp of you can wire them up to do something- kids learn patterns way earlier than you might think), window locks and cranks, assorted textures like carpet, fabrics, those reversible sequins, pebbles, sandpaper etc, the tops of jars with different kinds of lids top open and close, and (if you can stand it) anything that makes noises.But pretty much anything that can be fiddled with, changed by touching and is safe to nom on is a good thing.An additional caveat, from my own youth: if the fine motor boards are down at toddler height, dogs, cats, most pet birds and some reptiles will also play with and learn to manipulate these things.  Which is also good mental stimulation for them but you can give your animals interesting ideas about what is ok to handle and teach them skills you might not want them to know.

Ball lightning is a rare electrical phenomenon. Scientists aren’t certain what creates it, and once disputed that ball lighning existed at all. Some argued that it was simply the electromagnetic field of an electrical storm causing visual hallucinations by exciting neurons in the brain, an effect called transcranial magnetic stimulation. 
However, recent high-definition video proved that at least some instances must be a real physical effect. Spectrograpic analysis of this images suggests that ball lightning is made of vaporized silicon contained within a self-contained electromagnetic bubble, effectively making a naturally occurring electric arc lamp. 
Laboratory experiments successfully replicated the glowing ball of plasma, which hovered for several seconds. 
Unfortunately, other lab experiments create similar visual effects using wildly different methods, including electrically-excited nanoparticles, water shocked by capacitors to simulate lightning, and a bubble of ionized gas fuelled for many seconds by a vast atmospheric energy field. 
The varying size of that energy-pumping field would conveniently explain the unpredictable size, duration, and electrical power levels observed in ball lightning.
So we’re still not sure what that thing in the video really is, but it may be possible to create something like that in a dozen different ways.

Silicon Valley’s ‘Startup Castle’ is looking for roommates, and the requirements are completely bonkers

good thing i listen to exactly one song with explicit lyrics every day


I’ve been saying this for a while but Startup Bro is the new and terrifying lovechild of the brogrammer and the business major and he is somehow even more self-centered and bigoted than either of them


No, no, guys, look closely.
This house is looking for extremely physically fit young men (No drugs, no makeup, no special diet, exercise 15 hrs a week) who are passive and docile (no protests, no music lyrics with swears) who, most of all, will not be missed if they disappear (very little social media presence, not rich enough to own expensive luxury items, no need to constantly be in contact with their parents over bills/gifts, few identifying markings like tattoos)
This is obviously an organ harvesting operation.


Actually it turned out that the guy who was running it wanted to create a quasi-paramilitary organization.
There were so many horror stories about the place in the news that the landlord evicted everyone.
(Gotta say, though, that I like the organ harvesting scheme better.)

“It would have been better to have found out this was an organ harvesting scheme” is not a sentiment I expected to see today, and yet.

 gosh but like we spent hundreds of years looking up at the stars and
 wondering is there anybody out there and hoping and guessing and
 magining
 because we as a species were so lonely and we wanted friends so bad, we
 wanted to meet other species and we wanted to talk to them and we
 wanted to leam from them and to stop being the only people in the universe
 and we started realizing that things were maybe not going so good for us-
 we got scared that we were going to blow each other up, we got scared that
 we were going to break our planet permanently, we got scared that in a
 hundred years we were all going to be dead and gone and even if there
 were other people out there, we'd never get to meet them
 and then
 we built robots?
 and we gave them names and we gave them brains made out of silicon and
 we pretended they were people and we told them hey you wanna go
 expioning, and of course they did, because we had made them in our own
 mage
 and maybe in a hundred years we won't be around any more, maybe yeah
 the planet will be a mess and well all be dead, and if other people come
 from the stars we wont be around to meet them and say hil how are you
 we're people, too! you're not alone any more!, maybe we'll be gone
 but we built robots, who have beat-up hulls and metal brains, and who have
 names, and if the other people come and say, who were these people?
 what were they like?
 the robots can say, when they made us, they caled us discovery they called

 I bought these for a cosplay, but
 they changed my life!
 February 27, 2017
 l originally bought these for a Naruto cosplay
 because they don't allow real weapons at Anime
 Boston. They look just like real kunai! Thankfully,
 no one seemed to notice that I was walking around
 with a dozen or so butt plugs strapped to my legs.
 l think maybe one girl who wanted to hold them
 for a picture recognized what they were but didn't
 say anything. I eventually ended up buying a
 couple dozen more for my LARPing events. These
 things actually have pretty good balance when
 thrown and usually land on the point, plus they
 don't hurt when you get hit by them. They're
 basically nerf ninja weapons.
 Okay. Now for the real review. When you have a
 backpack worth of mini butt plugs, eventually you
 start to get curious. I've never been the type to
 knock something until I try it, so one day I put one
 you-know-where just to see what the big deal was.
 It actually felt pretty great! My orgasms intensified
 and seemed to last longer. My girlfriend loves
 them too, and we both use them regularly during
 our love-making. It definitely added that spice we
 were missing in the bedroom.

 Pros:
 Smooth
 Soft.
 The taper allows for easy insertion, but the flare
 ensures it won't fall out.
 Easy to clean.
 No chemical smell
 Surprisingly accurate when thrown
 Doesn't hurt when you get hit.
 Cons:
 Buying 3 dozen of these will run you a pretty
 penny
 They're black so they're easy to lose when thrown
 They will damage your lawnmower if run over.
 Cannot be used with silicon lube
 Final thoughts: A great, reasonably priced,
 versatile product. Would I recommend this to a
 friend? Believe it!

    silicon: DELETE ALL YOUR SOCIAL
 MEDIA ACCOUNTS
 WARNS THE FOUNDING FATHER
 OF VIRTUAL REALITY
 imgflip.com
In a new explosive interview, Silicon Valley tech pioneer and creator of the virtual reality 'avatar' Jaron Lanier tells people to delete your social media accounts due to the strong correlation between persistent social media usage and a dramatic societal rise in depression, anger, and anxiety that he says is the result of internet-induced modified forms of behavior. The warning comes in the wake of his new book which details how the creators of social media and the early engineers behind the internet "foolishly laid the foundations for global monopolies." Jaron Lanier is best known as a founding father of the field of virtual reality and throughout his polymath career has written extensively on human-computer interaction, including most recently in his book Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now. Lanier explained in a recent UK Channel 4 interview: When you watch the television the television isn't watching you. When you see the billboard the billboard isn't seeing you... When you use these new designs — social media, search, YouTube — when you see these things, you're being observed constantly and algorithms are taking that information and changing what you see next. According to Lanier's bio, he coined the term 'Virtual Reality' (VR) and in the early 1980s founded VPL Research, the first company to sell VR products. In the late 1980s he led the team that developed the first implementations of multi-person virtual worlds using head mounted displays, as well as the first "avatars," and developed the first widely used software platform architecture for immersive virtual reality applications. As he defiantly asserts on his personal website, Lanier himself has "no social media accounts at all and all purported ones are fake." He's elsewhere said that most internet and social media pioneers in Silicon Valley "have regrets right now" after perfecting what is essentially mass human behavioral engineering and that that internet addiction is not only ruining people's lives but the political process as well. This is what I could call almost a stealthy addiction. It's a statistical addiction.
