You had me at 100db.
I could see the necessity of the PH, light and moisture monitor for people growing plants of a clandestine nature....
@strider_mt2k: you are quick indeed...
Harbor Freight has this stuff too. They also sell an "a-ooga horn".
@Git Em SteveDave: Harbor Freight is AWESOME! I need that speaker for dogs, because I always get so close to running them over.
Any guesses on the ethnicity,how "assertive",and what the voice says?
So they expect me to pay money to warn pedestrians when I break? I'd rather they be surprised.
@slowreader: He presses F5 every 5 seconds.
100 dB...can't wait to throw a rock at the kid who has that thing...I mean talk to nicely about leaving the area.
Great Dealzmodo, we need to see more cheap yet 'usefull' crap. How about a contest, the most malicious gadgets for under 40 bucks?
USB missle launcher. Some fun video on youtube.

Who let that one get through?
@EvilBit: It's been around for years. The prudes are more pre-occupied by MILF and threesome sales.

@slowreader:
yeah but who would invest in an operation important enough to go beyond 'eyeballing' it who would also be so cheap (and stupid) to trust an 8 dollar sensor?
I so wanted the Mirage Maker when I was a kid. I guess I still really want it.

Dang, I used to work on the same street as one of their retail stores, but never went in. Now it's not coming up on their site.
This place looks AWESOME.
I will be stopping at ASS on the way home
@fastm3driver:
It's unfortunate that the companies are in-- and named after-- two different countries, or I'd love to see an ASS and a FCUK next to each other.
There's also a store called A Southern Season out there, though, so you could at least line up a pair of ASSes.
COOL! the pictures remind me of those old catalogues I used to order out of when I was a kid!
@EvilBit: I've been calling it that for over 10 years. although I seem to be the only one. The Milwaukee store is about 10 minutes from me.
These things suck. I have one, save the money for a real PH pen or even some litmus strips.
Where did the backup alert go?
@Git Em SteveDave: Indeed.
My comment is out of context now, ya bastids.
I have one..... and it doesnt work.
At all.
uhhh... these have been $4.99 at the local nursery for years now... then again, I live in NorCal, so these products move VERY well... :)
