Smart faucet

A spring-loaded tap that you can't leave running; guaranteed to keep you from washing your hands in hot water again.

  1. "Can't leave running"? From the article, "If pushing against a metal bar while you rinse your hands is just too annoying, it also lets you flip it into a continuous-flow mode." And also, how clean your hands are isn't effected by the temperature of the water, just the soap. If it was hot enough to kill the bacteria it'd be hot enough to scald your hands off.

  2. Or I can come up with another way to not have to push against a little lever to get water: do not install the damned thing in the first place. I mean, seriously, I spend all my time at the office pushing against a little lever. And there I at least get food pellets.

    Mmm, food pellets!

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
