Do these machines ever work properly?

@georgetakei It's dispensing ice - looks like it works perfectly :)

@georgetakei Might also be caused by kids playing with it. Either way, the hotel will be paying the bill for injuries caused by a guest slipping on wet tile.

@georgetakei
It's the countermove to The Floor is Lava

@georgetakei

Star Trek replicator got infected with a virus.

@proedie @georgetakei

Nerdy fact, there are about 400 (correction: over 200) common cold viruses.
Which is why it's so difficult to produce a vaccine.

@Havant_Enviro @georgetakei Wow. I knew there were several, but I didn’t know there were THAT many. 🤯

@Havant_Enviro @georgetakei If I had had to guess, I would have said one or two dozens. So, still impressive.

@georgetakei
That one is working perfectly, although it is mounted a little low for an indoor hail generator.

Cats playing with ice machine

@weaselx86 these cats are very cute, but OMG am I happy that's not my house! 😱

@georgetakei

I stayed in a hotel where the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night. There was no fire. On investigation it turned out another guest had started filling the bathtub, laid down on the bed to wait, and then fell asleep. The water spilling over triggered sensors in the floor meant to detect if the room's fire sprinkler was spraying, and trigger the alarm.

I imagine the hotel will care once that melts.

(The front desk might be a better option, though.)

@georgetakei I don’t think I’ve ever looked up into one of those things at a hotel not found mold.
