I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Always with my mind in the gutter, but it seems to me more likely the dog wanted to h*mp her leg in exchange for the mike - (one of the things I dislike about dogs - fortunately, not as a victim, but witnessing said afront). The interview? Probably just "bedroom" talk.

I've noticed a few websites here and there that are not working (various excuses are given), but methinks that something happened in the internet hosting business world that caught website managers by surprise - something akin to the way that Photobucket blew up the internet a few years ago by starting to charge everyone a ransom for its use.

Microsoft removed Flash Player from all supported versions of Windows. Adobe dropped support at the end of December. I wonder how many web-sites are still using Flash.

K 5 Smart Control[^]
It's a Bluetooth pressure washer.
Yes, that's right - it's a pressure washer you control from your phone.
I'll let that sink in, shall I?
And they think this is a USP: I'm hoping the first word is the applicable one.
1) It's a pressure washer. It's designed to push water out at high pressure so it gets into everything.
2) It's only of any use when you are holding it.
So, the thing it's most likely to get very, very wet is the most expensive toy you own, and that isn't likely to be high pressure friendly, or indeed waterproof ...

Just a question to satisfy my curiosity:
The evaluations (from owners) were all in French . . . so what, exactly, is your observation if you take that into consideration?
(Hopefully, not being used as a "fountain Syringe[^]" surrogate).

Yes I wondered about that the other night when I watched the ad on TV. The image of the smiling girl/lady holding her phone face up in the palm of her hand ...

Goes nicely next to my bidet app.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

From what they described, it sounded like the phone app was for advice on how to use the washer and cleaning schedules. So for people who look up on Youtube how to use it. I might just be missing something but I didn't see anything about actually controlling the washer from your phone.
It still seems pointless to have your phone connect via bluetooth when you could just select the particular washer from the app or maybe even scan some barcode on it, but it gives another bullet point for marketing I suppose

Your car?
Which, most likely, is what you're trying to use the pressure washer with. So I don't see the problem.
