Isn't this pretty much what Ruv has been building for like two years?

The main problem with restaurants is the shitty vegetable oils they use. It's horrible for you. Unless they're a REALLY high end restaurant, they're using junk industrial seed oils for all of their cooking. That stuff is what causes obesity and heart disease. At home you can cook with butter, olive oil, etc. But I guarantee, most restaurants do not cook with high quality fats.

The inside of pipes doesn't get exposed to the outside air like a shower head does. Less likely to grow the same kind of gunk.
Re:What’s Lurking in Your Showerhead on Friday December 09, 2016 @12:11PM (#13139969)
It's probably the fact that shower heads have so much more surface area for stuff to grow on and live in. One minute it's wet, and then it's drying for the rest of the day. A water faucet is less hospitable to growing gunk.

If you feel bad for the sherpas, don't go climb Mt Everest. Or, pay them what you think they're worth. Tip them big time if you feel they aren't getting paid enough.

Tesla pays for charging at any of their Tesla SuperCharger stations. So free to the Tesla owner.
The first DockerCon is off to a great start in San Francisco today. So proud to help kick it off as the first keynote this morning. We look forward to a great relationship with the Docker team.

This is one of the reasons why Rackspace simplified pricing of Cloud Files from the start. No fees for PUT, POST, LIST, HEAD, GET, DELETE...no extra fees for Akamai CDN requests. Very simple with no hidden fees that surprise you at the end of the month.
Duplicity also works with Rackspace Cloud files as detailed here: http://gsusmonzon.blogspot.com/2013/07/backup-with-duplicity...

Would be interesting to install OpenStack Swift on top of Backblaze storage and see how it works.
