What's crappy about it? The dated looks?
My 20 year old Saeco Vienna superautomatic just grinds, tamps, brews and foams with barely a microcontroller in there and physical buttons. No LCD, no IoT, no touch screen, no flavors, no DRM.
Until they can DRM individual coffee beans, I'm never changing.
I know... The problem I see is how the wire unspools so quickly. The firing of the rocket is trivial to me. Either a garden hose and a foot pump and use pneumatics, or a simple RF link but this might be a problem during an electrical storm...
I have a mile or so of 40ga copper wire and a few model rockets here... What can I do with these two things?
I wonder how the crema reacts in free fall. Can they foam milk?
My personal desire is to watch Hydro Quebec squirm and complain loudly as they disappear into insignificance.
We have tons of water and fantastic dams here in Quebec, but as usual, our love for French-style bureaucracy has fucked everything up.
Why do we need buildings full of civil servants, bureaucrats and nobility-class assholes when the water falls by itself and all you need is a handful of engineers and a few hundred staff to keep it working???
Die you useless cunts, if I had the money I'd put panels on the roof and gladly disconnect from you thieves!
Oh, and fuck Quebec.
Two days later the Chinese will flood the same dollar stores with one cell, one button digital receivers, don't worry about that.
So why does a company need a database guy?
They were promoting it because of the windfall of government subsidies. How many were promoting it in 1972?

Do you suppose the database guy will unload the trucks with your dinner on them? What was the connection with my post?
Why does anyone need to work harder in an era of technological efficiency? Working harder at WHAT? For WHO? WHY?
Say, I wonder how many "business owners and leaders" would have CHOSEN to go to the Moon in 1961?
Dude, it's embarrassing that in your "paper" you can't spell "principle" correctly.
