[Sailor Steve]

There's some really cool stuff there! :rock:

[Jimbuna]

I'll go for the detectable tiles because I'm always misplacing keys etc.

[Rockstar]

oh ya traffic lights with count down timers. I can just imagine what people will be thinking as they wait for the light to change. Seeing themselves as the next Warren Johnson or Shirly Muldowney.

Should make for more interesting accident reports...
IE: A yellow light accelerator was struck by a green light anticipator.:haha:

[August]

I like how the Germans will light the yellow traffic light just before the red turns green.

One of these in my home will make for some veeery interesting accident reports indeed!:woot::O:http://toco.distractify.com/postimage/201410/15/37e9eb8664e69ac59ed9ef68027dec21_650x.jpg

[Wolferz]

OK, who peed on the TV?

[Jimbuna]

Probably watching a load of crap anyway.

Wow, you guys have accidents three feet away from the toilet? I guess sometimes I forget how old some of Subsims members are. :o

[Buddahaid]

Ever been out late in an Irish bar? I don't know why they even have urinals since the whole floor gets covered in pee.

Most of these devices have lawsuit written all over them to my eye.

[donna52522]

Ever been out late in an Irish bar?

Nope.

I don't think the monitor on the floor is a good idea, or many of the others, I don't think I would even try the pizza from a vending machine. Some are nice though, like the bike rack, the easy clean hairbrush, pay by recycling, and coffee cup.

It's not a get one and you must get them all type deal.

[Onkel Neal]

That was fun, thanks :up:

[Gargamel]

Expanding this thread into other stuff I'd want....

http://www.gunboat.com/series/gunboat-g4/

Racer / Cruiser Foiling Catamaran. Translation: It's a sailboat that does 40ish kts, under sail only, but has multiple berths for people and is a comfortable island hopper.

Here's a nice video of her early sea trials:

An amazing watch for the sailor in any of us.

[Sailor Steve]

Cool! It's amazing what modern computer-driven technology has done to revolutionize the way things work. 40 knots is pretty much the upper limit for any kind of a ship hull, but boat design exceeds that by planing on top of the water rather than driving through it. Hydrofoils made that goal much more accessible, but this thing goes beyond even that. Wonderful. :rock:

[Wolferz]

:up::up::up:
I like that boat!

Cool how the two wine glasses were sitting there motionless because they were riding above the waves instead of in them.:yep:

[Gargamel]

I can guarantee you they were at anchor or at least not under sail when that shot was taken! All the videos I've seen of foiling cats, they jump and buck like crazy while flying

[Aktungbby]

http://www.gunboat.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_0141-1024x683.jpgLove that big spinnaker not unlike the 150% jib on the Catalina which we only partially deploy. Those guys aren't wearing their life vests ...above 20 knots???!! well that's show biz! When those hulls hit the water, it really thunders!

Split Croatia, that thing I'll try and find

[Gargamel]

Well..... I'll wait till they have all the bugs worked out :)

Precisely I grew up on Hobiecats and racing J-boats. None of these ad guys were in vests; they're lucky. One sailor died in a tipover in the America's cup In SF Bay trapped in a capsize. Imho: these are too dangerous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J45D7Cwzjrg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J45D7Cwzjrg)

New record set...obliterated:yep:: 23 hours 9 minutes 52 seconds over the 'late' Steve Fossett's: 38 hours 35 minutes 35 seconds. 635 miles from Castle Hill Lighthouse , Newport, RI to Kitchen Shoal Beacon, Bermuda. Fossett's 125 foot catamaran Playstation averaged 16 knots- respectable- his record stood for 15 years....The new record holder 105' LendingClub II averaged 27 knots exceeding speeds of 40 knots; a fair wind and a straight 'rhumb line' were crucial to the feat- no tacking required!:-? http://cdn.sailingscuttlebutt.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/lending-club-620x350.jpg:hmmm: that's not sailing! I know...this's a whole new thing! But at least they're all wearing life jackets too! :up: http://www.sailingscuttlebutt.com/2015/04/20/lending-club-shatters-newport-to-bermuda-record/ (http://www.sailingscuttlebutt.com/2015/04/20/lending-club-shatters-newport-to-bermuda-record/) Alas! I managed only a brisk 6 knots today myself ....I'll have a Nelson's Blood Rhumb to celebrate! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhumb_line (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhumb_line)
