This is a job for water detectors, which I have no qualms about connecting to the internet. They have the added benefit of detecting leaky pipes as well

Personally I would much rather touch my phone with my dirty hands than a toilet handle

I have become the red shirt from my favorite SMBC comic

However, my feelings regarding smart devices remain intact

Day 3,801 of thanking God I was born a Luddite

Anyone who thought their toilet would be improved by having an internet connection deserves this

Finding new and unique ways to make parabolic mirrors more efficiently and inexpensively

Imagine being into generative AI when the moon is literally red as I type this. You could be looking at the Orion Nebula right now instead of staring at a screen playing charades with a soulless marionette dancing under the hands of billionaires who you’re giving a direct line straight into your brain, bypassing all critical thought

I’m so incredibly okay with this, no matter how the universe opts to interpret it

Ghost In The Shell, Haibane Renmei, and Gurren Lagann share the #1 spot for animated

Psych takes 1st place for live action

This is fair. Even though I didn’t create the demand for this particular flight, I contributed to the demand for the next one.

My favorite video title of all time is still “alkaline water …with lemon”

Thunderf00t is smart about physics, I liked his science videos, but I really stopped paying attention to him when he started doing gamergate stuff. Is he still whining about feminists, or has he gotten better?

A Catholic socialist, a Jewish anarchist, and a Muslim communist walk into a bar, and they make a podcast about engineering disasters: Well There’s Your Problem. It’s great for that intersection of people for whom the phrase “crimes against TERFs aren’t crimes” resonates and like listening to an engineer complain about low quality as-builts 2 hours into a 3 hour episode about 9/11
