    I fucking hate motion-sensing faucets so much. We can edit the human genome, but are unable to make a motion sensor that actually fucking works?! Fuck outta here.

    I actually prefer the old-school “push-down and have limited time” type at this point.

      I just want a foot pedal to press. Public toilets should also have those just for hygienic reasons.

        I really miss these hand washing stations we had in elementary school.

        I’m not sure if this is ADA compliant. It might be the reason why we don’t see these very often. I had one of these at work though.

          ADA compliancy is such a BS hurdle sometimes.

          “Hey we made this improvement that will help 99.99% of all people!”

          “What about the remaining 0.01%?”

          “Well, no, unfortunately it won’t work for those edge cases”

          “Ewww… Well it’s not allowed then. If a blind man in a wheelchair with a service dog can’t use it, then no one can!”

      You have correctly identified that it’s not a lack of technological advancement that is holding our society back.

      Now go solve social sciences, economics, psychology, and neuroscience. Come back and we’ll talk about how to design a world where nobody happens to install a motion sensor with a wrong range.
