@JoelESalas why not? I have one (with an engine), it's great to stand some when doing long hours

Mark Henderson

@JoelESalas I asked for one of those desks that you can raise/lower for stand/sit. My boss saw the price and laughed at me

Scott Pack

People who study osteopathy are actual doctors. Chiropractors pop your joints.

Joel E Salas

@MarkHenderson Same here

@ScottPack Hey man, my chiropractor went to Hollywood Upstairs Medical College, he's a trained professional

Scott Pack

Had any fish tacos yet today?

Joel E Salas

I can't eat those anymore, they have gluten.

@MarkHenderson One of my co-workers built his own. Basically bolted existing desktop onto the lift-stand thingy...

Scott Pack

@Joel So you're on the free range gluten free vegan cruelty free fish tacos? Never before have you been so obviously a Las Angelean.

Truth be told that would also fit into Athena, OH pretty seamlessly.

Don't remember. I twas a kimmy kimmel skit and they re-dubbed the interviewers questions

pauska

@MarkHenderson that was the first thought for me as well, so I searched the net for a while.. can't really find any evidence that it was fake?

Mark Henderson

@pauska No; now that I've done some googling too. But it's tough because when you insert "fake" into your serach terms, it talks finds the "fake bands" which doesn't fucking help

So I tried "Dubbed" but I only found livejournal comments

So now I'm less sure; but I was quite confident at the time that it was dubbed

@MarkHenderson Those lightbulbs are so fucking cool

Mark Henderson

@JoelESalas Yeah but you know what? After the initial novelty of making my bedroom hot pink, it kind of wore off. I set it to a nice soft white, 25% brightness, and just left it

I already had dimmers for my lights so that part wasn't new

Joel E Salas

@MarkHenderson We set it to a deep stoner purple for parties

Michael Hampton

@MarkHenderson My gf wants to get those. So she can turn the bedroom lights on and off from in bed...

Joel E Salas

03:49

... Giggity?

Mark Henderson

@MichaelHampton To do that though you have to leave the mains switch on all the time

Otherwise the bulbs disconnect from the network

Which means you can only use your smartphone for the lights

Unless you get some smart soft-switches for the lights (which is what I'm currently planning in my head)

Joel E Salas

They don't work with dimmer switches which is kind of annoying

Mark Henderson

Actuall I guess, if you're already in bed, then the lights will already be on

Michael Hampton

@MarkHenderson I don't think she would have a problem with that. Personally I'd just hack a short Python script to talk to its API and nevermind the smartphone.

Mark Henderson

@MichaelHampton My wife got pissed off and uses them like normal lights

Added bonus - turn them on/off/on/off/on and they reset to their default colour, in case she comes home at 11pm after work and the bedroom lights up green

> so throwing trash away is quick, efficient, and hassle-free

Riiight because throwing away rubbish was SO FUCKING HARD before your invention

Watching the videos, it seems to make throwing your rubbish out a slower process cos you have to wait for the bin to open rather than having the lid fling open at 10,000mph as you stomp on the lever

Joel E Salas

@MarkHenderson We have one, and, yep, pretty much.

Michael Hampton

04:01

We ~~have~~ had a step can. It was nice enough, you step on the lever and the lid flies open. Until the day the lid flew off into next week.

Mark Henderson

Our kitchen rubbish bin is a bag in the small rinsing side of the sink. Just throw crap in there, no need to wait for it to open. At the end of the day, tie it up, throw it in the big bin outside.

What I'd really like is an in-sink-erator. No need for a bin for most things.
