Spelunking on Hulu one afternoon I found a show that was basically a Mythbusters clone based on household poo poo, one of their team was literally a pyrotechnic expert. I remember they blew up a septic tank, and burned up a dryer with lint. The only thing I really learned was that you really don't need to put the seat down when you flush the toilet, because there's not much splash.

How does that make it less useful as a wallet?

Well I don't. I can tell you're not from the states, because very few people over here just tap their wallet on the "reader" to pay. Most use cards, some use cash, and a few will still hold everyone up writing a check. We're not an efficient country at all.

All the buses in Vancouver have used RFID smart cards for a few years now. Recently they have posted signs that you will soon (or may already) be able to tap your credit card on the scanner as well, but it's up to the rider to make sure they don't accidentally tap both, or the system will double dip. Knowing the way they operate they will probably refuse to refund the difference for a few months until they are flooded with complaints and have to change something.

Knowing the way they operate they will probably refuse to refund the difference for a few months until they are flooded with complaints and have to change something. London has had this for a while. Initially it was an issue, so TFLs solution was to just refuse to process the transaction if there was even a whiff of a second card near the reader. Then they introduced a system so the cards would end up paying the most cost efficient set of group fares at the end of each week. Which is nice. It still didn’t solve the multi card issue. One or two (London based?) leather workers have made wallets with single card rfid-permissible slots. It’d be great if you could just register all your cards with TFL and they’ll work your poo poo out.

(Even my dog, who rolls in dead worms, didn’t want to go near it.) I watched as bubbles in the energy drink seemed to literally scrub away at the surface of the chain. After a few hours, though, the liquid became too black and opaque for me to watch what was transpiring below its murky surface.

Yeah, Drinking fresh orange juice isn't really much healthier than a coke. Slightly less sugar and none of that gross Methyltheobromine, though. What kind of idiot would even drink something with that name?
