  • I can see some purpose in having a 'smart' toilet for monitoring health. Your pee and poo can have some value in seeing if there anything that needs to be dealt with medically. But even that is difficult to do. For one thing, it must still function ad a toilet first before anything. Meaning it uses the simple mechanical flushing and refilling and stopping when it is sufficiently full.

    However for this the analysis and storage of data must be 100% at the user's control. If they want it gone. It is gone. Irrecoverable. Any update must be done via USB or other connection. No wifi or internet.

    And even then the analysis can be off for obvious reasons. People need to scrub their toilets and some keep it clean by having one of those pucks in the tank that sanitize the water. All of these can interfere with any results out of a medical setting.

  • What is so fucked is that many people who experienced ww1 also lived to see ww2 and the build up to it. If there was one thing that the 90s promised was that the future was gonna be a cool and better place. I mean the internet has given me the gift of being able to acquire all the knowledge I want, but the downsides have been massive.

  • He is buying favors more than anything.

    Trump is a conman. He views his own supporters as rabble to be used and thrown away. Even dictators like Mao and Stalin actually did try to better their countries (the USSR was a major backwater before Stalin's industrialization, but he industrialized it and made it a nuclear power).

  • Whether or not you consider Hitler legit charismatic is based entirely on personal perspective. There were people who met him in the early 1930s and thought he was the most bland person ever. Orson Wells in 1970 even said that when he met Hitler when trekking through Germany as a young man he said he was the most unimpressive person he ever met and could not fathome how anyone was swayed by him.

  • That machine you described sounds a hell of a lot more practical than the juicero. I am not a fan of keruig machines because I feel they are wasteful (but that is just me. I won't argue that they are very convenient). But a keruig machine but for cocktails sounds like a decent idea.
