Can we see this flashlight when all is said and done?

Thanks, I was aware of some of those obstacles. But this adds a little more detail, to the point where I don’t think it would be economical to repurpose this for this. It sounds like my idea may be possible with current off the shelf tags, but I think the dock would end up being way larger than I was initially imagining. It also seems like I am looking at like a minimum of $500 in parts for a prototype, even if I were somehow able to get the tags for $2 a piece.

You misunderstand the dock interface. The plan would be to insert the ribbon into something more durablee to bridge into the dock to be more like a cartridge. The dock will be expensive as I would plan for either all or most of the “cards” to be docked at once. It wouldn’t be a insert, wait, insert wait, instead it would be insert all the cards into their slots after play.

I also realized that the dock will need to be a little more complex then I originally thought as well. A lot of games have extensive burn and draw mechanisms leading to an extensive set of cards. What you could do is only have the amount of cards you would need in the base set for most of these games that are actually in play at any given time. The rest of the “cards” could be held in the “docks” memory, then “printed” when you draw a new card. It would add a little bit of time to the games, but you could dramatically cut the amount of physical “cards” or tags you need for many games.

Thanks I did try before, but now I had success. I stumbled upon those little price tags stores use to digitally update prices. Those could possibly work for this.

I did find some 1mm price tags on Alibaba for 3-5$ which could possibly be repurposed. The issue is I really would like to get the price driven down to $2-1, maybe even less… I want this thing to be able to mimic any kind of card game, and some of them have up to 300 cards… I think the plan would be to have 150 card sets. That would cover a lot of games, and if your playing a really nerdy game that does need 250+ cards or something there is a chance your friend might also have a set.

If you could get the price tag $300 or less you could probably get a lot of hard-core tabletop card gamers. I know thats a huge price tag, but the product isn’t meant for the masses.

That’s exactly the idea! They would have pins somewhere on the buttom, you would plug all your “cards” into a dock that would act as a carrying case. There would be an open source website where people can design different games and then you choose one of the games and it refreshes all the cards to whatever game you want to play.

That’s the idea anyway, whether it’s feasible for something people are willing to pay is a different question.

At least something where some new danger might be discovered in further study. We have enough studies to show alcohol destroys basically every aspect of the body in some way.

I think people are reading this prompt in two different ways. Some people are reading it as “what will be something we discover new dangers of” and others are reading it as “what unhealthy thing might he less socially acceptable in the future”

I am confused as what the prompt is supposed to be, by your answer. Alcohol is well known to be awful, it’s one of the most destructive things you can put in your body. It’s a literal poison that can kill you by acute excessive consumption, and destroys almost literally every part of your body over time with excessive consumption… which is easy to do, because it’s also highly addictive. In fact it’s so addictive, it’s one of the few things that you can actually die from withdrawing from. What else is there to learn?

Yes. I upvote stuff I disagree with constantly. That’s because I view the purpose to promote content that furthers discussion.

No. I only really use my phone for everything. It’s impossible to see the old website on mobile and the regular website is hot garbage, and somehow their app is even worse. There is no way for me to access Reddit and have a pleasant experience anymore.

Reddit basically forced me to go to Lemmy. I was mad at first, but now 3 weeks into it (1 week casual before the Baconreader died and then 2 weeks of redditesque addiction) I really don’t mind. There are some subs I really miss, but hopefully someone makes communities for them soon. (Malicious compliance and HobbyDrama are what immediately pop into my head)

I wanted to buy a soundbar, looked through all the prime deals and they were kind of meh. Then I checked CCC and saw there was a Sony one cheaper then normal and not even “on sale” or associated with their prime day event. So stupid, but I got my cheapish soundbar.

They offer 10% off on sign up and randomly in email. With 10% off the airpods and some of the phones are pretty good deals. Just seems hard to know how good it will be. At least with ebay you get some more info to make a decision.

What is it? It won’t load for me

Two things I learned… you can apparently see a human embryo with the naked eye and Japanese spider crabs are terrifying.

No

Rubber… I mean it’s so bad it’s good.

I pay the extra bucks for European Sensodyne because it has Novamin in it.

Novamin is like magic, and there is no reason it should have been taken off the shelves in the US (I suspect it’s heavy lobbying by the American Dental Association and the Teeth Fae People). Novamin binds and helps remineralize your teeth, very helpful for sensitivity and in conjuction with fluoride can get into the subsurface and helps actually repair the teeth.
