wiffleball 4,797 Posted March 10, 2017 holy sh1t. WIAP "I invented the idea for a combination smoke detector and rope ladder for office buildings. If the particulate level gets above a certain level, a small charge blows a small pick-ax up and into a pane of glass. At the same time, a rope ladder unfurls up to 30 stories..." "I also invented a blow-up slide like you see on airplanes. It's also based upon heat/particulate levels and can be custom-made for any size/shape stairway. People simply jump butt-first (like an airplane) and are transported via gravity (curved bumpers at every landing) down to the lobby." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,797 Posted March 10, 2017 I really enjoy salmon cream cheese on my onion bagels in the morning. It's also a nice afternoon snack. Unfortunately, too many people are turned off by the name - especially women. It's really just a matter of marketing. "Cream cheese" sounds unhealthy. And 'salmon' doesn't sound very portable/breakfasty. I entered into a contract with Kraft to re-brand it "Pap-Schmear". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,797 Posted March 10, 2017 In all seriousness, while I know there are various and sundry ad-hoc / 'one-off' 'solutions' out there - and others in the pipeline, I REALLY HONESTLY do not understand how, with all the technology out there, how in God's name we are still seeing children die in hot cars anymore. This seems easily preventable. One idea I have is, the MINUTE you snap-in a kid to the car seat, that activates an app in your phone. If your phone gets more than 30 feet away from the car seat, all hell breaks lose. - Including windows down, locks open and car alarm screams - and maybe even cops called. Unfortunately, people spend more time and effort watching their phones than their kids. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,797 Posted March 10, 2017 I honestly don't understand why we can't round up shiitloads of nutrea and feral hogs and send them to Africa and NoKo. With those fockers running rampant in the Gulf Coast, there's absolutely NO GD reason anybody should be starving. Best invention I"ve seen in a long time? Basically a 50 gallon plastic barrel with an attachment on top. Solar powered with A/C optional. In humid climates, I think it can produce a barrel of potable water in something like one day. The owner describes how there are literally oceans of water vapor in the sky - even far more than found on earth. Some dude in Texas invented these in various sizes (home, office, - all the way to small village) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mookz 1,375 Posted March 10, 2017 Still considering a phone app called something like flight grub. (or whatever) Instead of wandering all over the airport - especially if time's tight - you're on a connecting flight, etc. You can place an order for any vendor in a departure airport before you take off, while en-route to the airport, etc. And somebody shows up at your gate with whatever you want. You do not talk about Flight Grub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,797 Posted March 10, 2017 There's also a company kicking ass in Africa. It's only a matter of time before they spread to the developed world's 'disenfranchised" people. Basically, they've bypassed banks altogether. The cell phone is the new payment vehicle. I know they have stuff like this here, but not to this extent. Basically, no need for credit checks, permanent addresses, minimum deposits, - all the impediments poorer people struggle with here and beyond. I'll try and Google, but you should too. I'm pretty sure these guys will either take over the banking industry - or be bought out and decimated by the World Powers That Be. THIS particular 'bank' model doesn't rely upon vast sums of savings for overnight currency speculation, interest rate arbitrage, - all the shady shiit the Big World Banks engage in. It's already done amazing things to entire regional economies - and therefore, resultant class, social and industrial structures. Once again, serving a vast underserved market. Just a matter of time before it's in the cross hairs of Big Banks and their Government Lackeys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vuduchile 1,947 Posted March 10, 2017 Hard wired. My kitchen also has 8 electrical outlets built into the back splash all around. Right. So the cost to have an electrician run those lights and hide the wiring during an average kitchen remodel is upwards of $1500.00. A six pack of battery operated or rechargeable puck lights might cost $100.00. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,797 Posted March 10, 2017 Speaking of Food Trucks; I've always wanted to start one called "GET STUFFT". Particularly in Houston "kolaches" (often mis-named) are huge. They're basically dough wrapped around some kind of filling. Perfect one-hand eating. Pretty much every culture has something like this: Epenadas, Dumplings, Hamburgers, Meat Pies, Britos, etc. My Mom used to make "German Hamburgers". Basically a square dough raised to a point (like a Hershey Kiss) stuffed with finely chopped ground beef, cabbage, onions and seasonings. Dee-Lish. - Especially dipped in cocktail sauce. They naturally retain heat. Wrap them in foil and they'd stay warm until lunch time - and one would fill me up. Anyhoo, the possibilities are endless - Can you imagine: A cornbread dough stuffed with chili and cheeze? A Waffle-based dough stuffed with fried chicken (for our darker folks) A sage and cornmeal dough stuffed with Thanksgiving? Biscuits dough stuffed with savory sausage and white gravy?, STUFFT Gyros, Fajitas, Pizza, Chopped Salad Not to mention your standard sandwich spin-offs: Rueben, Club, Cordon Bleu, Grilled cheez, Blt, - you name it. Meal-sized egg rolls? Spring rolls? I mean, the possibilities are pretty much endless. - and that isn't counting vegetarian or desert-style STUFFTs. And the marketing? Great Possibilities. Even had two great people to man the truck. Basically, once up and running, lease one for A.M. and one for P.M. Let them practice their own creativity and recipes while still maintaining a baseline menu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vuduchile 1,947 Posted March 10, 2017 A reverse microwave that makes things cold super fast. I make a pitcher of tea every other morning. I have to fill the bottle and put in the freezer for an hour and a half so it's ice cold by the time I leave for work. Otherwise, I have to try to catch the ice raining down from the ice maker with the bottle whose mouth is too focking small. And while we're at it, a robotic ice maker return that auomatically plucks falling ice cubes from the air before they hit the ground and eventually get kicked under the fridge.

wiffleball 4,797 Posted March 10, 2017 Saw something in Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise. Basically eliminates most parachuting - which is highly unpredictable and unsafe. The floor essentially drops out of a troop transport except for a T-bar for your feet and a caribeener for your Torso. You do even better than so called "fast roping" - dropped exactly on target with hands free and no risk of blowing away in the wind. Plus, FAR less time floating like a human target clay. retracts in an instant, floor seals up - and transport away. Hell, our movies are usually about ten years ahead of our technology when it comes to that stuff anyway. Think about it - we're about 3 seashells away from living in San Angeles right now.
