The year is coming to an end soon… here’s another nomination

Uncle Amal wants you

its been heavily requested both here and on the discord so here it is… i bend the knee… [image]

[ODaily]

Fwiw, I figure I’ll probably plan on a mid December wrap up, and vote showdown till the end of the year or so. Probably best to have any final entries in by then.

New nomination

The anti🚫-derailment🚃 & thread🧵 hijacking🔫 thread🧵

Fun Fact: Amal actually has a twin brother Juan. Their mother only keeps a picture of Juan in her wallet though because if you’ve seen Juan you’ve seen Amal.

[ODaily]

That reminds me, It’s time for a showdown!

I’m gonna recap, then we’ll have a vote-off. To that end, I think it’s time to end all new submissions.

Entry 1

Wiring Wiki / Video Discussion

This reminds me, there’s an error on the Vivokey website. [Screenshot_2020-05-02 Spark VivoKey Cryptobionic Identity] But I fixed it for you…

Entry 2

Best responses for skeptics?

We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile. Then I stare at them for a moment before finally turning around and walking away intently while never making any movement with any part of my body from the waist up… then probably have more pints, because, well, pints

Entry 3

Options for Extra Senses?

The blue ringed octopus lives in rock pools, not in the open ocean. Sharks are adorable, pools kill more people than sharks . Also surfing in a pool is even more boring than scuba in a pool. And anyway your not safe on land either: [image]

Entry 4

xEM access controller for garage door question

No… don’t do this. I’ve explained this elsewhere, but basically you are going to burn shit out. A button is a simple device. It shorts two contacts. That’s all. It’s literally just a piece of metal that you physically press down that shorts two conductors together. Typically speaking, the circuit designed to detect user interface button presses (basically all low voltage digital devices) has it’s own ideas about the electrons it wants to push down one of those conductors, and detect coming bac…

Entry 5

flexEM available for pre-order

Entry 6

Just gotta say it!

BUT Do you like the xG3? Do you like it, between you and me? You should get one if it’s free You could get one for a fee . Would you like it here or there? You could lift things over there You could lift things anywhere Do you like the xG3? Do you like it, between you and me? Would you like it in your finger? Don’t hang around, do not linger You…

Entry 7

Titan crowdfunding campaign is announced

Entry 8

Any of you approached cosmetic surgeons for "serious" stuff?

This experimental implant case report may be of interest. It describes a set of magnetic implants affixed to ocular muscles and orbital walls, to “lock down” the gaze of a patient with nystagmus - for lack of a better ultra-short description. The interesting bits are the construction of the magnets themselves, and their attachment to the muscles: Implant Design We designed a 2-part rare-earth magnetic implant consisting of a small cylindrical ocular part designed to be sutured to an extraocul…

Looking pretty split so far. Place your bets now.

[Pilgrimsmaster]

Just wondering how that poll looks to a colour blind person…oh well, now we know maybe a bar graph would be better for next year

[NoUsersLefft]

@Pilgrimsmaster

Just wondering how that poll looks to a colour blind person

I can’t read the results if that says anything

[Pilgrimsmaster]

Thats what I thought,
you can however hover or select the pie slice and it will tell you
option:number of votes
ie. 02:3 in this example

Also starting at 12 O’clock going clockwise, the options remain in numerical order (zero votes are not visible… obviously) regardless on vote numbers, whereas the Bar graph adjusts to display highest number of votes first.

BUMP BACK TO POLL POST

[ODaily]

But… pie is delicious.

[Pilgrimsmaster]

I googled “I can’t fault that logic” to agree with your post

This was my 5th result…

Close enough!

BUMP BACK TO POLL POST

[Backpackingvet]

@Pilgrimsmaster

Just wondering how that poll looks to a colour blind person…

The same.

[ODaily]

Early voting looks evenly split. I guess that means we got a lot of top-notch posting going on in the forum

@Pilgrimsmaster

What poll?

[Pilgrimsmaster]

[ODaily]

Looks like we have a clear favorite for runner up, but if you haven’t voted yet, it’s a toss-up for THE BEST.

[anon2520759]

Submarine, c’mon. Obviously.

[ODaily]

Now that 2020 is over (thank God) I thought it’d be a good idea to announce the results.

Looks like a tie for the best post, with 5 votes each for #4 and #12.

Sadly, I must disqualify entry #12 on grounds the joke does not work with the actual correct pronunciation of my name. Therefore I crown myself winner of the best post of 2020!
