The whole smart home paradigm makes me hard as a rock. Lights that I can control from my smartphone? Yes. Programmable thermostat that reacts to a weather feed? Fuck yes. Presence detection and scene settings? Oh god fuck yes.
But smart fridges just make me tilt my head like a confused dog.

I don't want any of those things.
I need to invent a time machine so I can permanently live in like, 2008.
As someone who works in real estate they aren't. Not only are they mostly lies, they directly cause me to have to deal with idiots who watched one of those and then gets into my industry.
Tell me about the lies!
The prices they quote are ridiculous for one. Like they claim they can turn around a house for like double its listing cost in a month or whatever? Yeah no fucking way. Also they frequently price a house out of the neighborhood its in (not all of the flip shows do, but a lot of them do), so even if there was a buyer for the area they couldn't afford it.
Obviously some markets are different from others, but much like Storage wars when you see them pulling pie in the sky "worth" numbers, know its complete bullshit.
the best way to flip is to live in the house for 2-3 years so you don't eat the huge capital gains on selling it
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

sensors that can literally tell when you are hard as a rock and set the lights to dim, the thermostat to cool, and the music to sexy times
the fridge knows to pour you a glass of water for after

that would be awkward at times

"Look, I just... I just really like Natalie Dormer, okay?"

Wifi bulbs are amazing. We got home from a trip later than we planned last week so it was dark out, hit one button on the phone and driveway lights came on, porch light came on, all the downstairs lights came on.

I just don't want my modern conveniences to be literally indistinguishable from a poltergeist infestation.
You guys are so lucky. My town has a slightly iffy Chinese place that does Americanized Chinese food but at least is owned by a Chinese couple so the food isn't completely ruined by southern taste.
And finally we got a decent pizza place.
And that's it, the other restaurants are horrible. I have to drive into Florence just to get normally-mediocre American chain restaurant food.
huehuehuehuie
I'm so glad I dont have to go up that way anymore
Moulton is a hellhole.
Decatur wasn't much better.
then there was Chad
I don't even think its on maps
That place was actually hell.
Having lightbulbs that turn on and off to voice commands is one of the best things ever. I can be lazy and not get out of bed to turn off the lights. Or instead of fumbling with the light switch, I just say "Turn on everything" and it happens. So cool! Although the Clapper had similar functionality for a long time... then again, I've had instances where I'm carrying groceries and both my hands are occupied and I don't want to fumble for a light switch in the dark.
It was really helpful for my wife during chemo. When you barely have the strength to stand, voice activation is a godsend.
Also I don't even have a smartphone anymore. Mine stopped working and I haven't addressed it yet.
And it hasn't diminished my life noticeably. The last time I was actually like "Glad I have a cell phone" was when I was standing 10 feet from that slow car accident like 8 months ago and that was mostly because being the very first person to call 911 freed me from the obligation to comfort the slightly injured accident victims.

My last company had a branch office in Huntsville.
That office had some of the most difficult people I've ever worked with.
Totally polite and sweet, but passive-aggressive, dishonest, and lazy as fuck.

at that point is it not better to just wait til the house falls down and start over?

ehh ok the lamp can take, let's say, 5% of the awesome, with another 20% for the physics homework and the rest going to Bulgakov.
