Skynet is coming

At some point in my life I got old enough and sad enough to get excited by getting new appliances.

Our new washer and dryer showed up yesterday and I am afraid of them. They have a higher bpd ratio* than my old car. They sing when they want attention. And there is actually an app that allows you to tell it do stuff from your phone.

I don't know what the 21st-century equivalent of the VCR flashing "12:00" is going to be, but I suspect I'm fast approaching it.
