YKS The Mag Issue #12 (Patreon)
Content
Well, I guess it’s official: I’m doing the YKS newsletter. Hello everyone. Hope you are well. Actually I don’t really care. Just playing I do! This week we had some real stinkers, but more importantly, I think we learned a lot. Please do not ask me to elaborate on what we learned! Thank you.
From the update desk we had ‘iMyK9’, “the baby monitor in your car for your pet”. Maybe one of the stupidest things we’ve had on the show in awhile (aside from Jesse, cmon!)
Who needs iMyK9?
Anyone who travels with their pet, runs errands with their pet, RVs with their pet, or travels with working dogs has times where they may need to leave their animal in the car for a short period. iMyK9 keeps you connect (sic) and keeps your pet protected.
So this thing consists of like three parts, the bluetooth thing you attach to your pet’s collar, the “cell phone monitor” that attaches to your windshield, and your personal cell phone. The idea being that the “cell phone monitor” relays a video feed and temp stats to your device so you know your pet is safe or whatever.
The “cell phone monitor” seems to be a Galaxy J7 cell phone which, unless I’m mistaken (unprecedented) you’re going to need a separate sim for this to work?
The iMyK9 Cellular Monitor
When the iMyK9 Cellular Monitor is turned on and in range of the iMyK9 Sensor tag, the iMyK9 phone app will turn on automatically, creating a secure connection between the cellular monitor and your phone.
On your iPhone or Android Phone, you will then be able to:
- See current vehicle temperature, humidity and "feels like" temperature
- See and hear your pet
- Touch a button to talk to your pet
- Get alerts if conditions become unsafe (too hot - 85 F/ too cold - 32 F) or you lose connectivity. Up to 4 rescue contacts can be setup to receive text message alerts if you don't respond within 90 seconds.
Junk junk junk. Poopy. Bad. As this guy pointed out, this is just going to encourage people to leave their dumb dogs in their cars thinking they have a safety net. What happens if the tech fails? What happens if the owner is stupid as fuck and doesnt look at their phone? You got a dead dog on your hands. And there ain’t an app for that.
“Our Story begins in the late 1980's, My brother had a vision to make a Guitar that you could change the color of it in minutes instead of the common way to do it which involves extensive labor, sanding and stripping. All of this taking numerous hours of labor to achieve. It has even been said that doing this process to an existing guitar can actually change the tone and over all sound of the guitar. ”
To me this one is mad goofy due to the sheer amount of work that it sounds like these guys poured (hey no pun intended :P ) into this goddamned thing. I don’t know shit about guitars but it seems like if you want a guitar you’re gonna do what everyone else does when they buy something, and buy the best guitar instead of a gimmick guitar. Hell I dunno maybe its cool for goofing around. And if you have like 20 guitars whats one more. Maybe you're that guy.
Did some googling and it looks like the folks at marshallforum.com had a discussion about liquid filled guitars in 2011 (by page two some guy was asking about turning a guitar into a bong) but it looks like a guitarist for White Zombie had one filled with fake blood and in 2010 Fender made a one-off guitar filled with water from the Cumberland to benefit the Nashville flood victims or whatever. So definitely not a groundbreaking idea but you gotta wonder if its worth the amount of work. I’m guessing no! But hell maybe you CAN turn the shit into a bong.
To me, that seems like something worth looking into.
This is my favourite one we’ve had in a long time. What an absolute treat. The song is a goddamned banger, gang. Coming at you from sunny Pembroke Pines, its Randy Smith with Thank You For Your Service, the anthem for “the people who are in the military, national guards, air-force, navy, police-force, healthcare workers such as doctors and nurses, truck drivers, uber and lyft drivers” Hm, no mention of podcasters but I’ll try not to let it bother me.
Copsucking aside, this guy seems absolutely looney (in a harmless way) but rats off to him for doing something he enjoys, even though it sucks total ass. We should all be so lucky!
♫ Thank youuu for your service thank you ♬
“Bastard Slayers! is an ambitious animated show project. Our primary goal is to create an awesome show full of memes. As faithful meme lovers, lack of meme-featured materials in the visual media was always been one of our biggest regrets. Yes, we had our fun on the Reddit and 9gag but what about seeing our beloved Doge on the screen? Bastard Slayers! aims to accomplish that with a completely original and powerful story and a sense of humor which we are one hundred percent sure you are going to like!”
Great campaign from our Turkish friends at the Ulaş Türkmen Animation Company. This is an incomprehensible show about meme guys or something made by some 12 year old men in Turkey.
“Four men hardened by the hassles of the life unite under the leadership of courageous and dauntless Captain Samuel Sazapola in order to give a final fight. Under his will, they want to take revenge against their dangerous enemies: the BASTARDS! They are able, clever, strong, and fearless, but will these be enough to give them victory against the never-ending forces of the BASTARDS, and perhaps, an unknown enemy.”
The campaign also has, perhaps the loftiest goals of anything we’ve ever seen:
The Movie: If we can reach 10.000.000 million dollars on Kickstarter, we want to make an RPG-STRATEGY hybrid game named as Bastard Slayers! The Phantom Company. The game's story will revolve around operations made by a friendly organization to our Slayers, The Phantom Company, and their fight against the Bastards.
The Game: Bastard Slayers! Doges Of Doggorin will tell the story of Mighty Doge's great legacy. Making an animated movie is very hard and expensive work, so we will only make it if we can hit 5.000.000 million dollars.
Best of luck to these guys on their mission to recreate some newgrounds flash animation type shit that came out 21 years ago.
Ohh! You know what it is! It’s Zippmart! Zippmart is “A simpler and more transparent way to shop for groceries online” I was doing some research into the founders of this one and I couldn’t find anything at all. The wayback machine for the url shows Zippmart used to be a site for military/tacttcal gear sometime last year but the only other thing I could find on Rene Cavazos was an article about a Rene Cavazos who was convicted of drunk driving in like 2011 so I hope that’s not him.
“On average, our competitors charged a 15% markup over store prices. To put things into prospective a bag of chips at Kroger would cost you $2.50 but the same bag of chips on our competitors apps would cost you $2.88. We don't believe in hidden fees such as price markups so we decided to get rid of it!
Zippmart is able to toss out hidden fees by completely changing the way you shop for groceries on an app. Customers will simply type or take a picture of their shopping list (It's kind of how a women would give her spouse a shopping list or vice versa) and let one of our shoppers take care of shopping and delivering!
Since there will no longer be grocery items to choose from, the 15% price markup cannot be put into place. So our customers will only be charged a 5% of subtotal service fee and a $10 delivery fee (But of course we strongly recommend tipping your tireless shopper 10% to 20%).”
I’m no “business guy” but I feel like if you cut out the fees and such you will have nothing to operate on. That’s how these companies like grubhub etc are able to survive. Jacking up prices, inserting fees and treating their employees -I mean, independent contractors like shit.
Every dickhead sees this as brilliant and groundbreaking and copies the business model. Never anything new or innovative with these people. Just the same iteration of “The Uber of xyz”. Really depressing!
Anyway dont drive drunk, I think, is the point of this one.
