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.

Same year here… fuck us, amirite?

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.

You’re forgetting that there are many brainwashed younger people who totally bought the bullshit. It won’t be easy.

You literally stated the story of my fucking life.

Look… just make it out of plastic! This actually only makes the problem worse. If you want to recycle, it makes it MUCH harder since they need to remove the outer paper cover. Both cannot be together in a recycling plant.

I’ve done it quite a few times. No regrets…

I never touched that file. Actually wait I did. I put in a quick script to run the Gmouse.exe. Basically to run the mouse driver which you had to do manually every time! But with it there you could automate it and not worry about it.

Ahh, gmouse…pkunzip (which I called Punk unzip). Fun times.

Much better.

I am an elder millennial who never forgot the MS-DOS commands of my childhood. So I would kick that guys arse!

Fucking vpn blocking cowards.

Just use a different vpn server…

A sleazy salesman who was built up by his dad as some kind of messiah.

This is exactly how Trump built himself up. As early as the 1970s when Trump was just starting to do his own ventures New York newspapers and editorials would jeer at him for being the biggest damn blowhard they ever saw. Someone who would promise the world and deliver nothing.

Yet this attitude worked… he managed to built a brand around himself as the successful businessman who, ironically, had no businesses successes. By the late 80s he was actively mocked by so much media it wasn’t funny. Everything from sesame street to the 87 TMNT cartoon to the infamous Back to the Future 2 portrayal. It didn’t stop there. It continued into the 90s with the villain in the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie being heavily based on Trump, as well as the villain in the 1994 movie Time Cop.

Everyone from playboy to a ton of other magazines. Despite all this he STILL managed to somehow maintain that image, and while it waned, the Apprentice somehow convinced people again that he was a business genius when he was the farthest thing from it.

He was not in isolation, of course. The libertarian movement had been growing and the idea that the US did not need a politician, but a businessman, as a president and that it needs to be run like a business and not a country had been building momentum for decades before his entry into politics.

If that movement didn’t exist Trump would still be a failed businessman and probably have been thrown in prison a long time ago.

The old school MS-DOS gaming groups on Facebook all mocked it on how it looked like it was an early 90s PC racing game car rendered in real life. Plenty of other 90s gamers also made similar claims about how it resembled clunky primitive 3D graphics of the era.

I am in Canada. I would go, but I don’t want CBP to be asking me any questions. Last time I visited the US they searched my car for no reason. I have been interrogated by them before (you can probably tell by my username I am of Lebanese descent), but I have a feeling that the Trumpian bullshit might empower them to detain me for no fucking reason.

The have been arrested white Canadians for improper documentation and holding them for months with no charge or even telling them why they have been arrested and detained.

I took a web dev boot camp. If I were to use AI I would use it as a tool and not the motherfucking builder! AI gets even basic math equations wrong!

He has enough body fat to survive until the heat death of the universe anyway.
