A random question: My place was built with all the plumbing for a central-vac system that I have no intention of using ever.

@plwt @mhoye I came here to suggest that.

@brennen I've already sorted out my centralized air filtration situation, thankfully. Early in the pandemic I put a UV sterilizing light in the ductwork.

@mhoye set up an 80 gallon drum of baked beans on the roof and have gravity fed baked beans on demand in every room.

[mhoye@cosocial.ca]

@nobody Best answer so far.

[mhoye@cosocial.ca]

@grmpyprogrammer why do I need tubes for that?

[drmikepj@mastodon.social]

@mhoye I once genuinely pitched the use of pneumatic tubes to sell icecreams in supermarkets to a major multinational company. We built a prototype and everything.

[mhoye@cosocial.ca]

C'mon, y'all - "run cat6", what are you doing here in the fedi with an answer like that. The good answers so far include "rapid hamster delivery pneumatics" and "baked beans on tap".

[mhoye@cosocial.ca]

@grmpyprogrammer I concede the point.

@mhoye Surprise snake farm.

Snake rescue in cold weather?
Drop bouncy balls through and see which comes out first?

@mhoye For running cables connecting to the  switch (you did say “wrong answers”)

@paparouleur Rapid emergency popcorn distribution, solid answer.
