As a counterpoint, my cardiologist suggested I get an Apple watch so I could keep a better eye on things and send him any questionable ECGs. At least some doctors seem to think there are positives.

The next year, so 1999, we actually got approval to attempt to change our grades as an exercise. We actually managed to do it by sneakily copying a floppy one of the teachers used to store their grades with a program called Integrade. We took it home, reverse engineered the password protection to disable it, changed our grades on the copy, re-enable the password protection with the original password, and turned that in as our proof. Our teacher was impressed and super sketched out/nervous at the same time. I guess they never considered we'd succeed and get access to the whole class's grades...
On my electric stove I let the pan warm up on medium heat for 5 minutes or so until the edges of the pan are good and hot, then add butter, let it almost brown for 30 seconds or so (if it burns the butter, too hot), then toss in the scrambled eggs which should immediately bubble and start cooking. Some quick stirring and you're done cooking in about 1-2 minutes for 2-6 eggs.
My counterpoint is that my wife would kill me if I cashed out my 401k.
Seek out grants to start a scholarship fund to pay for people that can't afford memberships.
I got it to monitor CO2 levels in a house without central air. It's pretty amazing how quickly it rises without the air on or a window open. If the air in a room feels "stuffy", it's probably over 1000 ppm.
edit: It's just like what you'd find in any modern commercial building in the US, just with a much older form factor of toilet. When we moved in I got curious why most new homes don't have them. Found out that they don't use any more water than a normal toilet, but they do require a higher water flow rate. The high flow rate requires at least a 2" water main into the house (which we have), while most modern residential construction uses a 1" or less.
The house was built in the 20's by a commercial plumber who put in some more commercial-style amenities including some state of the art for the era tankless flush-valve toilets. I love them, wife hates them.
As an example, I always assumed that the radiators were always just full of steam while running, but the systems actually work by cycling between steam production and condensation phases. There's an alcohol filled bladder at the base of every radiator that boils and expands when the steam fills the radiator, sealing off the flow at that point, forcing the steam to route around to the next radiator. Once all the radiators seal off the pressure in the system rises, triggering the boiler to shut down. The water condenses inside the radiators as they emit their heat and cool, the bladders open, the water drains back down to the boiler, and if the home temp is still low the cycle starts again. Who knew?
For now we're actually planning on keeping it around while it's all in good working order.
