Use a bidet in the bathroom.

Better switch to some horror film murder compilation video before answering the phone. At least I know it’s going to be all screams and blood splattering on the walls while I’m talking on the phone.

Brave can also block YT ads, but I’m not so sure about the extensions. If all you care about is blocking ads, brave is good enough. If you care about sponsorblock and many other FF extensions, Orion is probably way better.

I’m going to show this real quick and then we’re going to move on, so pause the video if you want to take a closer look…

I would go back in time and meet the people who wrote the first ever USB standard. Then I would convince them that all USB connectors have to be reversible from day one so that nobody will ever need to struggle with the 20/80 odds of getting it right on the first try. Come on, it’s two possibilities and the probability of the wrong one is at least 80%. What’s the deal with a connector like that?

And Helen is also pulling heat from waste water. The latest heat pump was just the next logical step.

I really like to have some variety in my daily liter of tea I drink. Puerh can be steeped very many times, but oolong is pretty good too. Green and white are a completely different ballgame, but I enjoy them as well.

If you keep your daily caffeine dose very low, you can actually get a noticeable boost when you need it. I used to be like that, and next week I’ll start reducing my caffeine intake in order to get to that state again.

Speaking of copying, soon after the iMac became popular, everyone was making iThis and iThat products. That was just hilarious!

Wow, that was really something…

Apple was in serious financial trouble, and pivoted to manufacturing premium products instead. Apparently this shift in strategy worked, since the company is still here. It was a very different company back then, so looking at the old stuff really doesn’t tell you much about the current state.

Yeah, that was a bit of a disappointment. When I saw the first video from Undecided, I was really hyped that solid state batteries are actually here at last. I guess we’ll just have to wait a bit longer to see if it’s actually true.

”- - the scientists suggested this technology could be scaled up to power Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors using a small proportion of the excess radiofrequency (RF) signals they use to communicate with one another.”

So, we could get wirelessly powered sensors and scatter them everywhere. What could go wrong. Literally nothing. There can never be any privacy implications, since it’s well known that people using those sensors and IoT devices are physically incapable of having bad intentions.
