  • Just as an interesting point, not to make any judgement,

    You aren’t the only one who thought exactly that.

    “During the case, when asked why he chose to kill John Lennon, Chapman stated “because he was famous”. Chapman later claimed that he believed Holden Caulfied would have killed John Lennon because he was a “phony”.”









  • If society collapsed, resources required to survive have primary value. Food, water, clothes.

    But the idea of money will still exist. Precious and rare metals will be worth something in a barter economy.

    If you think it would be difficult to defend, you know it would still have value.

    The easiest way to defend it is to keep it secret.

    This is the way the world worked for a long time. That’s why the idea of a treasure map exists.



  • I don’t connect mine .

    But I wanted a washer dryer that had a heat pump drying system.

    The one I got on sale also had an auto dosing tray for detergent and softener.

    Genuinely very pleased with all the features my “smart appliance” has.

    It uses less power, less water, less detergent. And it weighs and uses humidistats to not over dry my clothes.

    The dumb ones that just work on set timers are less efficient than one measuring the load to decide how much water to use and when it’s dry.

    I suppose I used to eyeball detergent but now a 40 wash bottle lasts me 50 washes.

    Long warranty on it I hope I’ll never have to test. But it’s there.

    To get that I ended up with a WiFi enabled machine and just never put it on a network and turned its own broadcast off.

    I occasionally set a time on it. But genuinely throw in the clothes, push 2 buttons, and walk away.

    Any appliance that can now be a heat pump instead of an element, or actually measures things instead of using timers is a genuine improvement. Even if it’s fairly rudimentary still.

    Not everything is worse if it’s more complicated.
