How will your fridge know if you have 1/2 cup of AP flour? You'll need to let the pad look up the recipe and then query the fridge and pantry over the LAN. Neither fridge nor pantry need access to the net.
I don't object to things on the LAN, I just don't see any reason they should have any access outside of the LAN.
Can't say, I don't know any more than we know about the doctor many posts above.
I notice you accepted the other hearsay without question. It must have confirmed an unfounded bias. So much so that you chose to berate me for pointing out that it didn't really tell us much of anything without substantiation.
Nonsense. It shouldn't be hard to grasp that a second hand off handed comment from someone who might or might not have a clue what's going on isn't something to take as a certainty.
Why are you assuming he has personal experience in the three areas I mentioned? That would be a bit unusual. Actually, I guessed (but didn't assume) that he probably works at a regular paid practice as well.
Mostly, I am guessing that it was an off-hand comment rather than a careful statistical study.
Likewise, I am cautioning not to put too much stock in what was an off-hand comment made by someone who may or may not have any particular qualifications but almost certainly was not making a formal statement as an expert.
Many epidemiologists are physicians, but few practice.
Looking at the other post, immigration is corelated with TB but I see nothing that claims that to be at all causal. At most, we can say that one or more of those factors probably has something to do with it (possibly one step removed).
You may be surprised to know that many police departments break the law on a regular basis and then cover it up. Very occasionally they get caught. Still less often, something is done about it. It isn't hard for them to get away with it since mostly, the people with the authority to do anything about it would rather not know.
It doesn't matter if it's legal or not. Many will do it anyway. Then they will invent a (barely) plausible legal way they 'just happened to stumble over the evidence'. It is documented to happen.
It's common enough that it's worth considering what EM may radiate from your house.
Vaccines for children is a great idea. Adults don't qualify. The CDC price if for the actual vaccine in bulk, but it costs a surprising amount to get someone to sell you a dose and shoot it into your arm. They won't let you self-administer.
Experience at a free clinic would be suggestive of issues faced by the poor and lower middle class in general. To really draw conclusions from experience, he would need to have worked in a free clinic far from immigrant populations and in a clinic (free or not) in a wealthy area.
Did you read your link? It associated TB with poverty and a high minority population ( not independent factors). If you're going to scold, make sure your ducks are in a row first. Also note that what I questioned was the liklihood that the doctor was making an authoritative statement given the context.
It is a lot more nuanced than that. There are vaccinations that work quite well. Rabies, tetanus, smallpox, and polio are examples. Flu vaccines do not work well due to our inability to predict which flu will be prevalent in a given year with accuracy (in other words, we keep vaccinating for the wrong thing).
Some such as chicken pox are questionable. They work for a time, but there is a real risk that over a lifetime, the risks are higher with it than without since the disease is a lot worse if contracted as an adult, but when contracted a a child it isn't a big deal.
Unless I want it to look up recipes. Or be able to auto-order things I'm low on. Or text me in the store to let me know I'm low on milk. Or complain that there's a dangerous form of mold growing. Or give me food usage statistics.
Wouldn't you rather look up recipes on a pad so you can have it near you when you are cooking rather than having it stuck to the fridge (which shouldn't be next to the stove)?
Auto order from where? Will it look for good deals on acceptable brands? How will it know what brands I find acceptable without a very long and tedious entry process that will inevitably miss something? What if I don't care to tell the insurance company what I eat? I don't need the same things in the fridge every week, it depends on what I plan to eat. How will the fridge know?
I have yet to see a fridge that can detect mold and mildew, much less tell if it's dangerous, but even if it can, why does it need the internet? Everyone who needs to know will be living in the house and will see a flashing alert on the local display.

That's a good thing when it's available. Some states do that, some don't.

If you didn't accept it then you agree with me but don't know it for some reason.
What in the world does that have to do with this thread? I was responding to this post.
Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
John Steinbeck.
So then, where would those other people that become the rich come from?

My Aunt's roommate's boyfriend's sister's myna bird Dr. Bob said it's bunk. There we have it, it has to be true!
So the poor people WOULD improve their chances of advancing by killing rich people.
Nonsense. It shouldn't be hard to grasp that a second hand off handed comment from someone who might or might not have a clue what's going on isn't something to take as a certainty.
Can you tell me what factor in the current atmospheric condition caused it to rain?
We know there's TB, where it is coming from is the open question here.
For the same reason chicken pox itself is increasingly dangerous as you get older, so is the vaccine.
Fortunately, I got my immunity the old fashioned way. No need for a booster.
You seem deeply invested in treating an offhanded remark you are reading second hand as the gospel. Any reason?

Nah, they're just as pissy, they just have smaller bladders.

Perhaps they can't afford it? Immunizations used to be dirt cheap but these days, not so much.
Or he might have been repeating uninformed speculation. Most practicing physicians are not epidemiologists.
Probably because you haven't had a device hacked.
