A semi-traditional Margarita pour requires vigorous agitation in an attempt to blend the varying viscosity fluids constructing the cocktail. As an alternative, less abusive and theoretically smoother method, we affixed an Arduino Uno to an 8 channel relay controlling 8 solenoids to drip each ingredient, of any varying recipe, one drop at a time; allowing the blend to occur in real time. The glass is held in a copper wound that a coolant fluid is pumped through. Forgive the impoverished components, both mechanical and delicious.

For the extent of organized humanity, menial voices were quelled thanks to a lack of domain to preach. Our modern era has technologically unthumbed the dam of lesser wisdoms upon all and to a burden and loss to our unsullied brute order. As the voiceless were often the oppressed meek, now they sway and connect to a larger audience of theirs in similar vain, giving the appearance that emotional conjecture is validated by quantity.

Twitter is such a forum where the benign are allowed their moment in the sun. Aside the wasted breath of sentimental litter, we find a more debilitating uncivil condition of the irrational, given sanctuary. Click the image below for a @CNN tweet accompanied by quips relative to each replied pander (new window).

Professional wrestling mark? Smark? Worker? Jobber? Um...fan?
Then this bed is for you...for perverse maneuvering.

California is suffering from a debilitating drought.
When hasn't it, am I right?
Convert grass to gravel and ficus to cacti are all proposed options.
The absolute solution?
Desalinization pla--er, I mean, stop pissing away water!

Standard toilets use up to 6,500 mL (1.6 gal) of water to flush
a standard person's 400 mL of urine twice a standard day.

Hack most existing toilets with the Arduino Flush-Less
and reduce waste by up to half with out replacing a single toilet.

With just 1,825 AFL units installed, we could save 1,000,000 gallons a year, exclamation point.

Did we mention Arduino Flush-Less (Version 1.0) is BlueTooth enabled?!

Notation
Despite the plethora of HackADay logos ala our futile attempt for favoritism amidst our submission unto the HackADay Prize-contest, the Arduino Flush-Less and TV Miller are not affiliated with HackADay or their unscrupulous, dubious, down-right-under handed ways. Heathens.

Disclaimer
All claimers about HackADay are untrue, unless other wise true, to which, see?!

Formerly HLTBAL1 due to budgetary restraints, HLTSCT4X is a ground based rocket launch utilizing an experimental propulsion. It performed precisely as predicted.

What was once a novelty engineering project, today has become what will certainly be an evolution of the medium of electronic interactive adult entertainment and subsequent gratification.

Three years ago, we pitched a product design to an executive at Fleshlight d.b.a. Interactive Life Forms. Less than a year later, it manifested in to a viral sensation, pun intended. The FleshliPad was chortled in discourse on programs like Playboy Radio and featured in gadget blogs to the likes of Gizmodo. It became a hypothetical global perv-nomenon.

The highly anticipated apex of this journey now cedes. Earlier today, Fleshlight released the following advertisement on YouTube which unveils their new product, the Fleshlight LaunchPad.


We here at TV Miller applaud it's finality and tip our hat with an affable watch yer top knot.

Simplified for documentation, the upper diagram is a standard model theory of a photon transit via absorption and expulsion. The lower diagram is a two-dimensional spherical wave with oscillation disturbance transit and supplementary wave pattern representation under lay. The Resistance Model demonstrates wave field resistance nodes (particles) and subsequent containment prior to demanding frequency change, suspended in a three-dimensional compression mass.

Having scoured the internet for a visual 555 timer delay on relay or 955 timer delay on relay schematic, most did not display a fritzing'd version which for some is much more easily translatable.

Ingredients
IC1 555 Timer (955 Timer)
B1 9 Volt Battery
C1 47uf Capacitor (Electrolytic)
C2 0.1uf Capacitor (Ceramic)
R1 470K Resistor
RL1 5 Volt Relay
S1 Toggle Switch

Recipe
The fritzing displayed below operates after a 24 second delay.
To alter the delay-on time, increase or decrease C1 and R1.
The greater resistance of R1, the slower the current to fill C1.
The greater volume of C1, the longer to fill by R1 current.
IC 3 provides a positive voltage when triggered and stays high.
