If I forget that I don't have _any_ soap, what would make me remember that I'm out of my backup soap? Also, why not just have this automated instead?

- DerfNet 9y agoI've actually semi-automated this in the past by having Amazon ship me products on a regular schedule. Pricewise, though, it makes more sense to just make a quarterly trip to Costco and load up the storage closet.
- gm-conspiracy 9y agoBecause you are not beholden to billions of dollars of infrastructure just "working".
- JoeAltmaier 9y agoLike our cell phones, or cars, or electrical grid? Silly, that's called 'civilization'.
- golergka 9y agoI'm already paying for it, either through my free will (through various services) or threat of violence (taxes).
- JoeAltmaier 9y agoAutomation means you actually have to run out to get more. A backup bottle means you never are out - if you remember any time during the 2-month period it takes to use up a bottle. Or have an automated system.
- Klathmon 9y agoAutomation could mean it analyzes your average usage, and when you will run out in (amount of time it takes product to get to you + 20% for a buffer) it will order more. Or hell, when you are at 50/25/10%, order another. And if you are uncomfortable with it ordering it for you, it could just add it to a shopping list for you.
