      When we started letting tech-bros on social media hype up AI like it would be the savior for all humanity and in just a few short years we’ll all be sailing on our AI-powered yachts with AI-powered martinis and sacks of AI-powered cash from our AI-powered stock trades.

      Then when they started getting snippy and biting back and saying how it “democratizes art” and it lets us spend more time working so the AI can do our art and writing, we didn’t laugh and then drive them into the FUCKING SEA, instead we all politely respected their opinions and now we have at least a decade of useless, incremental “advances” to products we don’t want.

      You can love AI all you want, but the moment you go to bat for the corporate slop being pushed on us, you’re one of them.

        I know, right? Thermostats have worked since (and were invented some time in) the 1600’s, but now… no, no no… we’ve got to loop in “the whole internet” as a dependency (not to mention one’s smartphone, and probably a payment system for an ongoing monthly subscription). Even with the incentive of being continuously paid, they can’t keep it working, because it has gotten too complex and greed has gummed up the gears.

        Having slept outside in -40, in an unheated (there were attempts but the too late and too small a stove to make a difference), windy tent, when I had to open my bedroll with significant amounts of violence to even have a “bed” to sleep on — I would humbly like to disagree.

        Even though some of these summer nights I would definitely want an actually cool bed, never have I ever dreamed of having to sleep in those circumstances.

        No such thing as too cool — but definitely a thing as too cold.

    I’ve never even heard of a heated bed. Bitch, it’s called a blanket. You get under it and your body heat will keep you warm.

      I believe the problem is that it’s actively cooled, so it won’t get hotter under a blanket.

      He could always unplug it though…

    Meanwhile, I built the bed I sleep in. Literally. My bed is made from solid Douglas fir and southern yellow pine, hand made into a proper bed frame that will last multiple lifetimes if taken care of. Want the bed heated/cooled? Fill a rubber bladder with hot water or ice. There. No fucking app required.

      I might have to do this.

      I have been building stuff outside with treated lumber this spring, but working on some furniture would mean smaller projects with more attention to quality and detail.

      Sounds zen as fuck!

        It really is quite zen. While sanding is time consuming, it’s also a very tactile, embodied experience. It’s done as much by touch and feel as anything else.

      We sleep on a mattress laid on a base with no frame, and it’s perfectly fine. We took the habit while in Japan, where we used a futon. Now I can’t imagine climbing in a bed. The only problem is the giant centipedes

      Even if you use plain construction pine with a simple design, it’ll probably last longer than you do. That’s what we did.

      We had a bed frame from a “nice” furniture store, and when I saw it going in, I knew immediately it wasn’t going to last. Lots of parts with screws that were really shallow and would back out easily. They had to be shallow because the wood was so thin. Hard to tell when it’s at the store, but watching the delivery people put it together, it was obvious.

      Did a few things to keep it together, but once it broke beyond reasonable repair, I made a simple platform bed frame and called it good. Has lots more underbed storage space and you could probably build a tank on top of it.

        Yup. The bed was my first big woodworking project, and I just made it out of some construction lumber as well, though with a lot of working. I built it off one of the Ana White designs.

      Makes me recall something from years ago. My future ex-wife at the time was telling me about the drama when someone she knew’s car key’s battery had gone flat and they couldn’t get into their car, and had to call RACQ etc.

      I said ‘you can still just put the key in the lock and turn it, you know?’. That apparently hadn’t occurred to them.

      Well, I run fucking hot, so I would love a mattress cover that can cool me down, without having to blast AC on myself all night, so there is that. On the other hand for the price of Eight sleep or whatever it’s called I can buy at least 2 AC units.

      Should’ve upgraded to the Pod4, which will get a “upgrade” after the Pod5 comes out which removes features so you go buy a Pod6.
