Maggie’s What is your million dollar idea?....

Some sorta key sequence ..like *38 (fu) whatever, that keeps calling back telemarketers etc for approximately 10hrs on landline and 24hrs on cell for unsolicited calls. ( And plays your preferred message whatever it may be...maybe a nice soothing ballad of: lollipop kids, barney's song or possible a comforting sounds of an lrad)

I got loads of them.

Special turrets for your scope that take the guesswork out.
Say you want to make cold bore hits at 600 with some M855. With our specialally calibrated turret it's no problem! Forget all that mil vs moa bullshit. With our turret you set it.....
"And forget it!"

It's gonna be huge.
 
An automotive repair guide showing things like:
"This oil change is a 1/2 beer job"
Or "This heater core changeover is a 2 keg, 3 buddy, 9 weekend, dog kicking and final come to Jesus job"
I do think it's an epic fail on the part of parts suppliers to not sell beer. I no longer drink, but I still think about it every time I pick up a wrench.

remember, if you expose your idea in a public forum your cant claim IP via a patent (Europe is very stringent on this criteria).
Well, we can do French Gender reveal shot shells... in pink and pink.

And a reverse azimuth compass for their army. Always points away from the enemy.

I've come up with a lot of ideas that I just didn't have the ability to make happen, just to see it happen ten years later and someone else get rich. One in particular, a small, simple idea, the 550 cord quick cutter. Attaches to gear so you can rip a tie down without fucking with a tool. Now they make 'em but it took 'em three generations to get it like mine. I got the idea in turn from a coupon cutter my mother had.

But when I was studying math, you learn about calculus and how it was discovered by two different people in two different countries at the same time. Neither met each other and Newton invented it for physics while Leibniz invented it for pure math or philosophy. They accused each other of theft until the day they died, never having met each other, one in England, the other in Germany. I might add it was done during a plague and in secret by Newton, so, no chance of theft or collusion.

Fast forward and we have Moore's Law and other understandings of how the natural world works. Turns out we all have a similar base knowledge that we all share and from that similar ideas will pop up (all publicly schooled people for example). Our population is growing so the chances increase of overlap of ideas.

The question is, "which" of the ideas that we have, are 'the ones' to propagate and focus on?
Two, how/who best to promote and/or develop that is actually "like minded" and "investing to help" as opposed to "give a pittance to steal the idea and do it with a different factory?"

So, for those who actually DO come up with things, and actually DO make prototypes and whatnot,,,, what is the deciding factor on which item(s?) to put what little funds you have towards?
 
I'll add to this as it just hit me yesterday... QD cleaning rod jags/brushes.

Such a time consuming pain in the ass to unscrew a brush so you don't drag it back through the bore. It's a novel idea, but not really practical or obtainable unfortunately from an engineering perspective.

Always wanted to get an old oil rig in the gulf and soup that bitch up with a nice restaurant, nice rooms, nice casino and some top notch hookers have clientele pay an all inclusive rate and fly in by whirly bird from a few locations in the gulf area and gamble and screw nice lookin hookers all weekend or week long then fly back out
 
I'm not sure I should be sharing this here since it's not patented or anything yet, but I guess this post will serve as documentation that it's my original concept.
It's hard to explain so I made a short video.

As punishment for falling for this I watched the entire video, and have provided proof. @Tucker301 you win this round.

A printer's ink cartridge that uses 99% of the ink instead of the 60-75% when it says you need to change the cartridge.

You'd be surprised how much ink is left in those cartridges when the printer says you can't print because you're out of ink.
It is actually worse than that.
I used to spend almost $60 a month on ink, then I got this about 4 years ago. Less than $10 spent on ink since then.

Years ago as a contractor I looked at the Angie's List business model and thought about it backwards. How many contractors have dealt with CUSTOMERS who turned out to be the assholes, impossible to please, scam artists, etc. I wanted to start a site where contractors could rate customers for other contractors. For whatever reason I thought it wouldn't fly. Few months ago I heard an ad for this very idea. Think its called badapple.com or something like that. Oh well, maybe I should've jumped on this one.
 
My wife is a teacher, and we got one of these for the very reason of saving on ink. We are over 3500 pages in, and it is still going strong.
Daughter was in high school, now college, Wife is also a teacher and I am self employed. We print quite a bit. Just checked and ours is at 5954 pages printed. Not one little hick-up, have only filled black twice and all the colors once. Model ET-4550.
 
How about devising a way to get the tires on very large aircraft spinning at a speed matching ground speed just before they land? No more burnt rubber when they first make contact, and those tires should last much much longer if they aren't getting so ripped up with each landing. Tire companies may not like it, but it should save for the rest of us in the long run.
 
to go a step or two further with that tangent,,,, what is the number of 'landings' that each tire lives (on average) and what is the cost of each tire?
Secondly, I know that the multitude of forces on the landing gear are both varied and tremendous, so comparatively then, is the tire itself not the "cheapest common denominator"?

Or IS it?

I was skiing the other day with my 5yo son in a snow storm and thought that a small, battery operated LED that flashes like a cop dome and sticks to his helmet with a strong adhesive like GoPro mounts use would be good for keeping an eye on him. Could come in a bunch of different colors to color code your kids.

^I see that the chain is no longer connecting the chainring and cassette, so you now have a stationary fuck machine. IF you used a different sprocket on the chainring that connected to the one driving the dildo, THEN the lady could ride about town while getting pussypounded. THen and ONLY then, do you have a million dollar idea.
