Rain Bird watering clocks are so frustrating. Noticed my drip heads were running at an unusual time. Learned there are multiple “programs,” too, in addition to stations, watering days, seasonal adjust, and more. Only five buttons and a dial to configure numerous settings to water plants I’m required to have by my #HOA. I hate it.
I will be hooking up the Rachio instead. No way I’m paying the Rainbird clowns for a separate “WiFi module.”
Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie, whose $300 million superyacht was defaced by environmental activists, has a home in L.A. so vast that it alone guzzles 2.3 million gallons of water every year, more than the annual usage of 76 American households combined.

Every Bitcoin payment 'uses a swimming pool of water'
Bitcoin consumed nearly 1,600 billion litres of water in 2021, in 2023 figure could be more than 2,200.
Bitcoin payments consume so much water to power and cool the millions of computers worldwide Bitcoin relies on. Also it requires huge amounts of electricity, almost the same as the entire country of Poland.
