I have two superpowers:

Mosquitoes don’t find me delicious. When everyone else is getting hammered, they generally leave me alone. When I do get bit, the bites barely swell and they don’t usually itch.

Rock star parking- Anywhere I go, I always check out immediately in front of the place I need to be. There’s almost always an empty spot, and if there isn’t there’s someone just leaving that I pull into. I dunno how that helps me fight crime, but it sure would be useful if I were a bank heist getaway driver.

That was a very compelling speech that Representative Howell gave. That there were 40 that still voted in favourite after having the obviously dangerous language in the bill is kinda frightening.

Now all I can visualize is Kirk beaming down random bottles of Saurian brandy to unsuspecting civilizations.

Everyone knows that it’s a bottle of coke you need to leave anyways. I saw it in an 80s documentary.

> That being said, electronics in our devices do tend to reduce the amount of water and power that appliances use. Dumb devices are extremely inefficient, even though there are fewer points of failure.

I fail to see how electronics in these (unpowered) devices in any way reduce the amount of power that they use.
