Isn't this basically what amazon does via prime membership? Apples and oranges I guess because it isn't "just" streaming, but does anyone pay this monthly?

I think "arbitrary" gives the wrong flavor here. Math is fundamentally curated. It's easy to create something new, because you get to play with the rules - but unless it is in some sense deep, effective, and usually elegant

Sort of; so did Egypt - but these were more steam devices not engines per se. I think the limiting factor was metallurgy & pressure vessel design before you can do something like Watt did.

Butter in produced in north america seems to be mostly pretty bad. I think it has a lot to do with how milk is marketed, low price is everything. So the dairies are dominated by volume-over-quality, a ton of holstiens and whatever cheapes

That definitely works better than a timer, but still has to be adjusted for the water quality in your house. But it also assumes you go fill-to-empty. In my limited experience they are often refilled from partially empty, whenever convenie
