Around the same time, RPI university had an "Internet Coke machine", which you could check the status of using the "finger" command. Sorry, I'm wrong, it was Carnegie Mellon: https://iot.stackexchange.com

Or perhaps I would leave my Tide refillable container by the curb and some dude in a Tide truck would stop by and refill it and put it on the porch. It's like Filld but not for gas. Or maybe the Filld truck could have a bunch of diff

I like this idea. I wouldn't have a problem bringing my Tide branded reusable dispenser to my local store to refill it with Tide. I like Tide, it's a good product. We have all recently been retrained to bring reusable bags to t

>> other people’s right to have a home for less than $2 million? No one has such a right. If you want to buy a home for under $2 million, there are plenty of these in the East Bay and East San Jose. No shortage at all.

I don't like the entire concept of "pre-existing conditions". It goes against the entire concept of caring for sick people. We are all people. We all get sick sometimes. Sicknesses can last a long time, or a short time. S

Is semi-autonomous driving really that big a deal to people? Driving in the carpool lane is the "killer app" for me. The only situations where I would trust self-autonomous driving are: (a) 5mph bumper to bumper traffic and (b)
