Oh shit, I guess that’s true, yeah. Wheelchair bathrooms are there own thing but not every place has them, at least where I live.

Also, as ever, relevant XKCD.
The funny thing is, when I talk to lawyers (of which I am not one) it’s nothing like this, because any human court will understand the intention of the question is arithmetical. It will create legal fictions to paper over affairs, rule the law inapplicable if the sister is dead, and go for lunch.
It seems law is like 90% precisely defined and 10% whatever the courts decide that day. That turns out out to be stable while still fairly immune to edge cases, so it’s stuck for centuries.
You know, I feel like management deciding what is and isn’t in scope on their own is itself asking for trouble.
The pullcord kind used to be pretty common, I think. This is just that with a pedal.
and public washrooms often use the touchless sensor types.
Now. I’m guessing you only have to go back to 2000 for that to be a futuristic new thing, though, while the history of the modern flush toilet goes back to the Victorian era.
Or maybe in a country that recently switched from the Julian calendar, adding the possibility of >12 months between birthdays as described by calendar.
Wait, why isn’t it? There’s been so many weird flush designs over the years.
Of course. My roof, my water, my rules! /s
Well, I suppose it is the kind of system where a lot of weird non-deterministic things can happen.
What kind of sensor are we thinking of here? Optical? I know it’s a real issue to find something that doesn’t foul or misread even in the simpler application of an RV septic tank.
I wonder if you could just put a window in the U-bend for manual inspection. It’s supposed to be full of “clean” water most of the time anyway.
What’s “Skynet” mode, lol?
I guess, but I’ve never heard of a toilet clogging before it’s used.
There’s other better examples, though. Smart thermostats get plenty of use from the people I know with them. A fridge that tracks how long stuff has been inside would be dope. Smart lights have uses.
Yes, I don’t hate the idea of smart-ish devices, if they’re not cloud-dependent in any way and have some kind of manual override.
It’s kind of painful to have a kitchen full of devices each implementing their own half-assed OSs separately, or even more than once in one device.
There’s nearly as much reason for those to be internet-connected.
Like 95% of the people on here do the latter, though. (Way too often I get in arguments where it seems like people don’t realise there’s other kinds of coding)
Oh shit, there might actually be a guy with that name.
I told them to leave a pamphlet and fuck off, but the pamphlet was a fixed-point combinator that put them back on my porch again.
Well, that’s maddening.
Hmm, so kinda O(n1.5) scaling? (Of the ratio between definitely required time and possibly required time, anyway, since a -110% error wouldn’t make sense)
Huh, so they do exist then.
