Unfortunately, 'finding a partner' is really, catastrophically, unrelated to buying a Real Doll.

1) Buying or considering a doll isn't a step towards interacting with another person.

2) Interactions with a doll do not mimic real relationships.

And Youtube took down my favorite series of fail... A bunch of videos showing destructive tests on batteries for cars. Apparently most lithium-oi batteries as used in computers 2000-2008 when charged and generating turn into horrible explosive flares if penetrated by metal.

Enjoy the entirety of Full Metal Panic! Fumoffu?, all 12 episodes.

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p ... B69DA2189B

Also consider the militarised Bonta-kuns and the fact that the Miami police bought them. Someone needs to fund a spinoff series, Fumoffu: Miami

"Fuu-mo fumo fumoff... *sunglasses* ...FUU!"

YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!

One of my old girlfriends enjoyed owning dollfies. As far as I know she didn't do anything too perverted with them. Though I can't really blame her if she did--they did look pretty hot.

I remember awhile back, one of my friends was trying to create a Pandora battery for the PSP, which involves carefully cutting open the battery case with a knife so you can disable a circuit inside it.

She couldn't find an X-Acto knife so told us that a steak knife would work just as good. Rebecca told her if she was going to do something so stupid then she could at least drain the charge from the battery.

She didn't and what do you know? The damn battery caught on fire after she punctured the case a little too vigorously. And you know what the worst thing is? She's an electrician. And she's a damn good one, too, but apparently turned off her brain when it came to using her skills for a non-work application.

I know. :biggrin:

But I bet she didn't qualify her use as a relationship. My scorn is limited to those too pathetic to try and get a real girlfriend, and substitute a super sophisticated sex toy as the object of their affection. :nonono:

Ah, that reminds me of some youtube videos I enjoy, KipKay hacks!

Laptop Battery Hack

My dad recently did this only instead of with a laptop it was with a UPS whose battery had gone dead. Moar power! The best part was that he forgot to make note of which way the batteries were oriented as he took it apart so after he put it back together... to the best of his memory... he tested it out by plugging it on outside on the driveway for a while in case it exploded. Sadly no fireworks, he remembered correctly. Maybe next time though.

Here's some other fun battery hacks, and I encourage people to watch some of the other KipKay hacks as well.

9 volt hack

This one is not as distinguished as KipKay's, but good to know. Car battery hack.

12? There was like 16...well some were only a few minutes long like two in ones I think.

The mafia daughter and army of Bonta-kuns was WAY too many Sgt. Sagara wannabes.

Poor Ms Chidori almost had a heart-attack.

There is FMP: TSR but Funi got it and now the former ADV has nothing of FMP anymore, nor does the new Sentai Filmworks or Sxion23

Who knows there might be a Fumoffu 2: Bonta-kun Gone Wild
Play the game, not the rules.

I didn't know what you were talking about until part 2, where yeah, it was offensive and retarded.

To quote someone from the youtube comments regarding the serial killer interruptions "Now you're wasting my fucking time." I don't think I'll proceed with part 3+ Part 1 was a good stopping point.

Ironically, he turns it way down in the later parts. Part VII is a must-watch, because it has the scenes with Lucas trying to figure out what he did wrong.

In other news: Stylophone.

If you really want to see a good set of videos analyzing the plot of the Star Wars prequel movies and wondering what went wrong, I strongly recommend confusedmatthew's Star Wars movies.

Start with that one. It's intensely funny shit.

It was almost like he was being deliberately obtuse on the "Republic" issue and the "Slave/pilot" thing.

Then again, I took Latin in high school. The textbook's little stories were quite clear that slaves were in all kinds of jobs. The family in the stories had a teacher-slave who served at the kid's tutor. So both a slave, AND an occupation. How about that?
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Yeah, the constant harping about Republic issue hurts the review, because there are lots of actual things that are bullshit.

Trade Federation with an army.
Trade Federation that blockades a planet in response to taxes.
Trade Federation that has a really shitty blockade.
Jedi negotiators.

Those things are all dumb as shit. But I the "Why does the Republic have internal strife" thing is bullshit, since the American Civil War and Banana Republics both exist, so hypothesizing that three way Galactic Republic/Member Planet/Powerful non localized corporation relationship could exist is not very far.

I wouldn't call that THAT bad of an idea. The Star Wars universe does indicate the Jedi were supposed to be teachers as well as asskickers. Given the respect they were supposed to be shown, it's not a bad idea to send Jedi to negotiate.

Except for no apparent reason, the other side's idea of negotiation is to "Gas them".

Sure, killing the negotiators is a great stalling tactic if you can make it look like an accident, but there was no set up or any reason given. Just the Trade Federation going, "Oops. Jedi. Let's kill 'em. We're evil like that."

Watching the looks of horror on Lucas' face during the first private screening of the film as he realizes what a shitpile he created is priceless. But then he went right out and excreted a few more equally awful films and a terrible animated series, so I guess the joke's on us after all.

But as far as the reviews go: they would in fact be a great deal better if the creator stopped trying to be "funny", cut out the tasteless references to murdering women, and just stuck to delivering solid criticism.

Anything by AronRa (a biologist from the university I'm going to in January) is pure platinum rubbed on the pecs of Robert Downey Jr. and on the breasts of Kate Beckingsale, but what stands out heads and above the soldiers above the rest of his videos is his series 'Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism'.

He also has a sexy, sexy voice. Isn't that enough to convince you?
