Those Japanese researchers found someone to buy their research it looks like.

Paper out of a Japanese University had this device well described and I believe they even had a prototype.

But yes, I will continue to have the toilet that is just barely smarter than an outhouse.

Menards, I appreciate that you are trying to help people get “All the jobs” done, but I don’t think this is the multi-tool we need…

Set the of the Burton Holmes Travelogues.

Before travel blogs, tv, and channels, this is how you learned about traveling in a far away land.

When at the library I always gravitate to the older books they have on hand because they are so interesting to me.

America is spending $20B of your tax dollars to ensure Argentina continues to have free healthcare while the US government is shutdown because it can’t afford to give you a discount on healthcare premiums?

Saw this add and got really excited for a minute, then I realized they weren’t hiring people to be lighthouse keepers ☹️
