Dumbass Of The Day

That's why they call him "Dookie".

 

Well Winslow has been hit with a total of nine charges, including two counts of kidnapping with the intent to commit rape and two counts of forcible rape.

 

Just read about this (his added charges). Apparently his 2005 motorcycle fiasco was just the tip of his proverbial Dumbass Of The Day iceberg.

SMH

 

PS these were actually $700 and then reduced to $400. So you mean to tell me that with taxes this thing that is a horrible substitute for hands costs me $1000 CDN after taxes!



Juicero, a Silicon Valley juicer startup that raised $120m from investors and was widely ridiculed after the $400 machines were revealed to be the equivalent of two hands squeezing a juice box, is shutting down.

The death of Juicero, announced on Friday, is the latest case of a San Francisco tech startup collapsing after raising substantial funds under the guise of innovation and disruption, but failing to build a profitable business.


America has become so anti-innovation – it's economic suicide



Juicero offered pre-sold packets of diced fruits and vegetables that users plugged into the $400 machines, which then transformed the contents into juice. The company was roundly mocked in April when Bloomberg News reported that users could easily squeeze the packets with their hands and turn the contents into juice at a faster rate than the expensive cold-press juicer machine.

The company’s founder, Doug Evans, who compared himself to Steve Jobs, had previously bragged that the juice press wielded four tons of force, and in the face of embarrassing videos of the squeezing by hand, the company noted that the machines were connected to the internet and could ensure users don’t make juice with packets that have expired. The packets, however, had expiration dates written on them.

Juicero, launched 16 months ago, announced on its website Friday that it had decided to immediately suspend the sale of the machines and produce packs after it “became clear that creating an effective manufacturing and distribution system for a nationwide customer base requires infrastructure that we cannot achieve on our own as a standalone business”.

The company, which said it was searching for a buyer “with an existing national fresh food supply chain”, is offering refunds for the next 90 days.

Before users discovered that the machines were essentially useless, the celebrated startup attracted a flattering New York Times profile and funding from high-profile firms, including Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Google Ventures.

Juicero has since become something of a symbol of the absurd Silicon Valley startup industry that raises huge sums of money for solutions to non-problems. Some also criticized Juicero and other food tech firms as male entrepreneurs in effect rebranding what women have done for decades.

With the failure of other high-profile startups that raised significant funds, some have suggested this year that the tech boom could be fizzling.

Evans has not commented on the shutdown, but he most recently posted a video of himself at the Burning Man festival.

 

I remember this "juicer" being touted on the local news when it came out and then a day or two later the videos on the internet showing what it really was. I wonder how in the hell they lasted 16 months in the first place. Are there that many lazy idiots in this world willing to shell out $400 because they're too lazy to squeeze their own Capri Sun?

 

It started at $700. That's a grand for me when it's all said and done.

 

I want to know what happened to that cat.

 

The cat was an ingrate anyways.

 

My guess, it fell into the sewer, burning yet another of its 9 lives, although I haven't been able to find the gif of that........

 

Closest thing I can find is this..........

 

In the US he's dead at the 18-second mark. But lol the girl.

And this is one reason why you should always have a partner.

 

No Joe, he's white. Stick to your script.

 

lol

But there are vids of white guys getting shot for twitching. It just doesn't hit the news because it isn't BLM.

 

LOL I watched the girl fall like 30x.

 

She had a cute butt !!!

 

Lym… you need your own show. I would watch... lol

 

My Coworker just showed me the same video lol Why didnt she just stay put when she first climbed in she might have got away. Almost as funny as when that guy tried to rob the liquor store falling through the ceiling not once but twice.
