inMy $40 'smart' plant sensor just told me my cactus needs more water, which is how I know it's completely broken.
Honestly I have to disagree here. My phone has led me wrong way more than my own sense of touch. Numbers on a screen don't mean much if the recipe itself is off. My finger learns from mistakes, but my gadget just gives the same bad info every time. I'd rather trust the feel of things than some random number. What good is a precise measurement if the result still tastes bad?

inFound a way to get my group to actually finish a game of Twilight Imperium in under 6 hours.
Our last game hit the six hour mark before someone's pizza delivery arrived and we all just quit. The chess clock feels like the next logical step before we just start mailing each other our moves. Honestly, I respect the commitment to actually finishing a game.
