When we’re at a bar with a dartboard, it’s only a matter of time before we start pestering the bartender for ammunition. But, level of intoxication aside, we only ever approach an intermediate skill level. Seems like we’re not the only ones, although for Mark Rober, the engineering background means he has a significant advantage over us. Namely, he built a dartboard that guarantees him a bullseye with every throw. It works by compiling information sent from 6 IR cameras around the board and sending that data to a series of motors connected to the dartboard. The motors then move the board along an X and Y axis to make sure the bullseye positions itself perfectly with the path of the dart. And this works every time, so long as your throw was going to hit the dartboard in the first place. It probably won’t do much to improve your basic dart game, but all that really matters is that you feel cool playing.

Vaer’s G5 Meridian Watch Looks and Feels Better Than the Five-Times More Expensive Option It Reminds You Of
Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
