  • omg is that the guy from the colony??!!!

  • what do you have in your house that you don't mind being automatically turned on and off whenever the power company wants/needs.

    .... nothing. correct?

    It's all very well the power company being able to schedule your washing machine, but you still have to put clothes in the damn machine, and you still need to know by what time they will be washed.

    And the washing machine is perhaps the only device they could control anyway. Do you want them to control your fridge or computer? Don't say yes.
