Occasionally I have a moment that makes me think "we're in the future!". Being able to say "100ml water, hot" to my tap would be one of those moments.

Why the fuck would they put all their nuclear waste in a cube and leave it by the sea in Marseille. Those french morons.

It's pushing me to the real world instead of Reddit, so a great success overall.
