For the remote console and power controls alone with so little overhead, this is the correct answer. When you add everything else you can do with it, it’s no longer even a question.

Maybe someone can get upset by reading that word?

and by bypassing their filters with idiotic ‘censoring’, you expose them to it.

You know, it’s been so long I barely remember… and we don’t drink a lot of carbonated water outside of it, though we did once upon a time. I’m trying to even come up with a guess, and I honestly can’t. I guess I’ll have to get it on my next Costco trip and report back!

Costco has this Italian water - carbonated if I recall - 8 bottles in a pack if I recall.

It’s always been on the pricey side… I think it was $12 or so when we first started buying it occasionally, likely 7-8 years ago. Then it went up to $16 seemingly overnight - now I think it’s close to $20.

It is a luxury, no question. It’s not that we can’t afford it, just that it is a LOT of money for water, lol. We get it less than once a year now, but it is always a very nice treat when we do.

But also, why is everybody so offended by censored words here? I don’t get it.

The biggest reason seems to be that it will evade filters, which people set up very intentionally and specifically to keep these Fedi-spaces a safe place for them mentally.

So, for example, someone comes here to get away from the ‘real world’ and news and whatnot, may have a filter that blocks anything with the word “Trump”, or one I actually see censored a lot more often, “Israel”

Then someone makes a post about “Isr*el is so bad” and it sails right through their filters.
