Oh good grief ... 
Not a single good or necessary idea in there. Not a one ... and $400? Plus $7 a pack for the ingredients? Which could probably be squashed by hand to get the same effect ...

A solution in search of a problem. Unfortunately, it did not pick an appropriate one.

That's old.
There were many issues with the product, most obvious that it was useless and expensive.
I'd rather be phishing!

This is probably the only reason I would subscribe to Amazon Prime - but it could be worth it. I guess I could watch the episodes from the previous seasons too. Tempting! 
Since they left Top Gear, it has, frankly, been a disaster. And on that bombshell....

Have never seen/heard before. Is this a documentary or some story in place?

You've not heard of The Grand Tour?
Remember Top Gear? Clarkson (The Orangutang), Hammond (The Hamster), and May (Captain Slow) being very daft with cars? It was sold worldwide for over twenty years!
Clarkson was thrown out of the BBC for punching a producer, and went to Amazon to make a not-a-copy-honest show called The Grand Tour with the other two, while the original Top Gear fell apart at the seams trying to do the same thing with different presenters.
Episode 1 of Season 4 came out in November 2019, and we've been waiting ever since for Episode 2 ...

I used to watch a ton of Top Gear, at least until the new, less-than-stellar replacement hosts came along. Sadly, I haven't stayed up-to-date with The Grand Tour, but I'm thinking I need to remedy that.

It took a while to get into its stride, but yeah - it's the same three doing the same stupid things!

We have these chip reading gas pumps that want a pin if you are using a debt card, a zip code if credit and curiously there is a hardware button that says bypass pin.
On all the pumps, bypass pin has been pushed so much in favor of all other zip or pin choices that it is cracking from wear.
If the pin can just be bypassed, lines and lines of code could have been eliminated and all the gymnastics that are required to tank up the old heap could be reduced.

But, but, we like pin ups over here

It's a conspiracy we can PIN on the button manufacturers.

same thing at my area in the states. Some station implemented with some agreement a rewards points system. The first question you have to answer after your card is inserted is. "Do you have reward points" the "NO" button has been pushed so many times on all those machines it does not work. The only way around now is to hit the yes button multiple times like 3. The yes button is beginning to wear out as well.
You have to answer this question before you can even hit the bypass pin or enter your pin or zipcode.
To err is human to really mess up you need a computer

Just like the 'Updates are available. View available updates?' screen I get when logging onto a remote server. It's modal and the only option is to click 'Yes'.

I bet every transaction where the person presses the bypass PIN button is recorded. That way if that person's card is breached they're on the hook for it and not the bank or the station owner. Sneaky way to avoid PCI requirements.

"Bypass pin"? How is that even a thing...? Do you have that on ATMs too? What's the point of a pin if you can just "bypass" it? Or have I misunderstood something...

It's the 3D printer and that excellent Chinese wiring again. This time the printer will not heat up anymore. Last time it was the nozzle temperature sensor, this time it's the print bed temperature sensor. Wiggling all connectors did not help this time, so I took off the print bed and looked at its underside.
Ok, the thicker red and black wires are where they belong. It should have power if the controller ever switched it on. But there are also thinner blue and green wires and one of them has been wiggled off by the movement while printing. That must be the wires for the temperature sensor. Simple to repair, but it will happen again. I think I'm going to put some kind of socket under the heatbed and a fitting plug on the wires of the sensor. And while I'm at it, I might do the same for the power wires.
I know that some people here have the same printer (Anycubic I3 Mega), so be warned that this may happen. If it does, be prepared to spend a few bucks and do a little soldering.
