Is that different from smart tube for the phone, 'cause that app looks weird.

They should be the default for solar installations and grid-level storage What ever happened to flow batteries? They were supposed to be the really cheap low density option for grid storage.

Which would make sense if those Italians were from the Aosta Valley, since food and other culture doesn’t stop hard at the border. But I’m betting they’re not.

Since we’re talking sci-fi, this is Asimov in 1980:

The cheese slicer is a great Norwegian invention and much used in all the Nordics. And The Netherlands. And Germany? I think it mostly boils down to “what is cheese” to you. If you think you can even have an argument about whether you should cut “cheese” with a cheese slicer, then you come from a place where they make sense. In my fridge I’ve got parmigiano, gorgonzola dolce and I just finished a rare piece of emmenthal. A slicer would have been useful only with the last one of those. But my sandwiches!
