OK, they are not really motherboards, they are just small printed circuit boards with simple projects for kids as part of our STEM week projects.
These projects are typically under $10 and vary in scope and complexity.
We tried a clock and a musical board.
The first word I have to describe these is SMALL!
Tiny parts, hard to read and difficult to understand, but isn't that the point? To challenge young minds with projects that make them think. Projects that build on deductive reasoning and get them off their phones for a few minutes a day.
These simple projects and a less than $10 soldering iron will keep kids busy for hours.
It is a good entry project into electrical engineering, helping kids understand basic components and how the boards are assembled.
At one time back in the 70's you could walk into any Radio Shack store in any mall and get these projects, but they are now out of sight and out of mind.
We wanted to make parent aware that these kits are available online and serve as important catalysts in steering careers toward engineering.
The more your kids know, the stringer they are.
We have shown a few items in STEM week and this was Mr Dog Poop's favorite because he was personal friends with Thomas Edison back when he invented electricity.
As the comedy podcast goes... there are no fibs to big to tell.
It is important to entertain in order to educate and while educating people is not the focus of the man show, we figured what not for a few days, what can it hurt?
Chefman Deep Fryer Review Can this tiny little appliance deliver good fried food? Is it safe? Is it worth $30? The Man Show Live is determined to find out with a live review of this product. Jeff as usual, takes the easy way out with a bag of Arby's pre prepared curly fries and a can of spam he must have found on the side of the road and some potato chips. But Mr Dog Poop just goes for broke with everything in the kitchen. Fried MushroomsFried ShrimpPancake SausagesOnion RingsPotato WedgesFried Dough 3 Frying Batters, Pancake mix, beer batter and traditional flour and eggs are used along with bread crumbs, seasoning mixes as the guys look for innovations in traditional food man style. The device itself was great, very little splashing, more than adequate heat and just big enough for a plate of food without wasting a huge amount ...read more
Mountain House Adventure Meals - A LIVE prep & taste test of 4 freeze dried survival mealsIn this episode of the man show, we try some of the Mountain House Adventure meals for texture, quality and taste. What that, the guys had mixed opinions about the meals and Mr Dog Poop did not think the bacon and eggs was edible while Jeff sucked down the entire feed bad. These feed bags are very convenient for travel since the are dry, very light and last for decades in any storage condition. Of course, you still need access to clean water which might be problematic in a survival situation. But for camping, hiking or travel they are a great option at around $10-$15 per meal. The amount of food in each was surprising and likely enough to feed 2 people. The beef stew had almost no beef and was relatively tasteless. ...read more
The Bidens set the internet on fire by ordering the same dish on date night in Washington DC. The debate is fierce and people are outraged that they both ordered the same thing rather than getting 2 meals and sharing. The same meal supporters get into a heated debate with the reddit crowd and the rest is history. Over one billion down votes for Biden's choice. American are finding it harder to buy beer and seem to be drinking less. The beer companies are marketing wrong, the beer industry is in trouble and the man show may have to switch to Russian vodka if the beer runs out. The economy is failing under Biden and people are losing their extra SNAP payments right when the cost of food is highest. The guys discuss how this will increase crime, promote gang formation in Tampa as families struggle to feed their ...read more
$17 Personal Frying Pan - Is it big enough for a man size meal? Personal Frying Pan - Is it big enough for a REAL MAN? Our first impression was that it was small. But that may be the best part, portable, does not take up much space and in the end, it did cook a man size portion. One man at least. The cons were, too shallow, no temperature control and that the handle needed to be assembled from 3 parts which is something some men wont be able to do. Mr Dog Poop cooks sausage chili made with Italian sausage, onions, peppers, garlic, tomatoes and kidney beans. It is a struggle to get all the ingredients into the shallow pan but in the end, keeping in a heaping pile did work. Once that finished, he attempted a Philly cheese steak with mushrooms and Swiss cheese. Jeff cooks ...read more
