Top 5 Best Smart Toilets [Review-2023]

[lowercasebreezy]

BANG BANG BODHISATTVA releases May 9th, 2023.

Okay, I think it’s time I made a full roundup post.

An edgy, queer cyberpunk detective mystery by an exciting new trans voice from New Zealand. Someone wants trans girl hacker-for-hire Kiera Umehara in prison or dead—but for what? Failing to fix their smart toilet?   It’s 2032 and we live in the worst cyberpunk future. Kiera is gigging her ass off to keep the lights on, but her polycule’s social score is so dismal they’re about to lose their crib. That’s why she's out here chasing cheaters with Angel Herrera, a luddite P.I. who thinks this is The Big Sleep. Then the latest job cuts too deep—hired to locate Herrera’s ex-best friend (who’s also Kiera’s pro bono attorney), they find him murdered instead. Their only lead: a stick of Nag Champa incense dropped at the scene.   Next thing Kiera knows, her new crush turns up missing—sans a hand (the real one, not the cybernetic), and there’s the familiar stink of sandalwood across the apartment. Two crimes, two sticks of incense, Kiera framed for both. She told Herrera to lose her number, but now the old man might be her only way out of this bullshit... A fast-talker with a heart of gold, Bang Bang Bodhisattva is both an odd-couple buddy comedy that never knows when to shut up, and an exploration of finding yourself and your people in an ever-mutable world.

I am on Goodreads.

“I am ecstatic to be working with Rebellion Publishing, the home of JUDGE DREDD, to bring my hopelessly queer cyberpunk-buddy-comedy-noir-mystery to print. If you’re a fan of 80s anime pinup girls, Daft Punk, Robert Patrick as the T-1000, hormone replacement therapy, the Nintendo Virtual Boy, a neat whiskey or a fruit-flavored cocktail, Philip K. Dick, lo-fi hip-hop beats to chill/study to and/or the prospect of hope for humanity beyond the next seven to ten years–I hope that Bang Bang Bodhisattva will hit just right.”

---------------------------------------------

"Alright! That would conclude our rehearsal tonight. I expect to see you all here Memorized on Thursday, the 10th. Goodbye!"

I started to grab my things as my fellow cast members left the studio. As I was crouched down picking up my phone and water I felt a presence next to me.

"You did great on your song today Y/N." I look up to see my love interest, Christian. I stand up and smile. "Thank you! You did great as well." I said to him and I saw him smile even more and nod.

He had his stuff in his hand and we were about to leave before we heard the voice of our director, Stephanie.

"Hold it you two. I want to work on the song." Me and Christian turned towards her, both muttering "What song?"

"Oh you know, 'Love in New York?' Surely you two have tried it?"

Oh shit..

"Yeah a bit, I reviewed over it." Christian said to her and then looked at me. I have seen this musical so many times that I know the song like the back of my hand, what bothered me was.. the kiss scene at the end of it..

"Yeah I have." I muttered out in a monotone voice. The director nodded and flipped through her binder.

"Christian do you need to be on book?" He shook his head and muttered a "No." She smiled and we set our stuff down and went back out to the middle of the studio floor.

"Great, so we'll start with singing then work in some choreo, then we can work on the scene after, ok?" We both nodded and she grinned at us. She started the music and we got ready.

I started off first with singing and tried my best to stay and beat and tune. Christian then joined in and sang with me.

The song ended and the director did small claps. "That was great! You know I'm not worried about the singing. Ugh, I'm not feeling like running choreo this late. Let's work on the scene at the end."

Those words hit me in the face like a brick. Now my mind was fogging with the kiss.

"I have to use the ladies room, I'll be back." I quickly ran off the the restroom and locked the door. I ran my fingers through my hair and panicked.

"I can't do it! I just can't! I don't have any experience at all with kissing! He's probably gonna think I'm some virgin weirdo." I was racing around the small room talking to my self. I started chewing on my nails and picking at them while just thinking.

I didn't even notice how much time had gone past since I left and I heard a knock on the door.

"Hey, everything okay in there?"

It was Christian.

"Uhh yea! Everything is f-fine." God damnit! Why did I have to stutter?

"Okay.. Just checking up on you since you've been gone around 8 minutes."

"8 minutes?!" I yelped out loud. I heard him "Mhm" outside of the door. "I'll be out in a second." I flushed the empty toilet and washed my hands and dried them.

I unlocked the door and opened it to see Christian leaning on the wall in front of me. "Why were you waiting there you weirdo..?" He chuckled and got off the wall.

"Are you seriously ok? You seem off." He's catching on.

"How have I been off?" Please just let it go Christian.

"Ever since Stephanie mentioned Love in NYC. Do you not like that song or something?" He knows, damnit. What excuse can I use? I'm sick? No. Just having a bad day? Sure.

"Just having an off day." He gave me a look. That looks that a person gives you when they don't believe you. That 'Really?' Look.

"You may be a good actress but that wasn't very convincing. What's really wrong..?"

Oh. My. God.

What can I do now? I have no other excuses to pull out of my ass! Should I just tell him the truth? I mean he is a very smart guy..

"Look! I've never kissed a guy before and I don't wanna practice with you because I'm scared your gonna think I'm some virgin loser!.."

There. It's out.

He started chuckling and looked away. Is he actually laughing at me? I would laugh at myself but really?

"You think I'd judge you for not having your first kiss yet?! That's hilarious." He stated in between giggles.

"Well, if this is your first kiss I'd want it to be special." He moved closer to me. What's he doing? My throat got caught up when he leaned into my ear and whispered into it.

"Do you want to do this?" I just nodded. I didn't trust my words at this point. He smiled and caressed the side of my face. He licked his lips and I did the same. "Just follow what I do ok?" I nodded and he smiled.

He leaned in close. So close. Our noses were bonking each other and our lips were so close. Then, he pulled me in.

His lips were so soft and warm. I moaned into the kiss and pulled myself closer. I wrapped my arms around his neck and just went with the flow. I could feel his arms wrap around my waist. It was so magical and the butterflies in my stomach were going crazy.

Suddenly he released from it. We both needed air. "That was, amazing... Thank you so much Christian.." I held both his hands.

"Well now would be an appropriate time to ask this, do you wanna go on a date with me?" He asked me. How could I ever say no to this man. Well, at least I could give him a chance I guess.

"Sure. Just text me and I'll be there." He pulled me into a tight hug and kissed my forehead. I inhaled his scent and just relaxed. "Oh wait, Stephanie is probably waiting for us."

"Oh shit your right."

We both let go of the hug and rushed back to the studio where of course, Stephanie was there.

"Have fun? Well, we'll just continue this next rehearsal. Go home you love birds."

I blushed and Christian giggled and went over to grab our bags.

We both left the studio hand in hand out to the parking lot.

In an American high school au, Anakin is a 19yo senior who was held back as a kid when he was adopted or when his mom lost his job and he switched schools or something, and he was never moved forward again because actually he liked being held back a lot more because the review of information he struggled with helped him and he liked appearing smart in the subjects that he didn't struggle in.

Anyways, he and Ahsoka meet because he works in the math lab his senior year and she starts coming in as a freshman struggling with algebra I. And they unexpectedly become friends even though that's weird in high school. 5 years is huge at that age. But he likes having someone like a little sister because he loves being able to boss someone around and be smart to and a smarmy know-it-all. And she's funny in a snippy way and hasn't learned enough to overcome the self-consciousness that hit her at puberty. So she likes having someone confident and snarky around because it brings out those traits in her. Also, math lab is helping her grades.

And they're both super competitive and into sports/athletic activities even though Anakin has never been "one of the guys" on the sports teams and none of Ahsoka's friends joined any teams even though they like playing casually in gym class. So they like talking professional sports with each other and about the school sports teams.

Anyways, they unexpectedly become best friends through math, sports, and hijinks. They get into weird escapades a la Nickelodeon/Disney Channel preteen shows. (And of course Anakin graduates at the end of the year but doesn't leave Ahsoka behind yet because he goes to the local community college bc he doesn't know what he wants to do yet but he wants to continue school without flushing money down the toilet, and that's also where Obi-Wan works and where Padme teaches poli sci)

Genre:  sci-fi, near-future, cyberpunk, bio-punk

Publication Date: May 9 Pre-Order At This Link

The Dust Cover Copy

Someone wants trans girl hacker-for-hire Kiera Umehara in prison or dead—but for what? Failing to fix their smart toilet?

It’s 2032 and we live in the worst cyberpunk future. Kiera is gigging her ass off to keep the lights on, but her polycule’s social score is so dismal they’re about to lose their crib. That’s why she's out here chasing cheaters with Angel Herrera, a luddite P.I. who thinks this is The Big Sleep. Then the latest job cuts too deep—hired to locate Herrera’s ex-best friend (who’s also Kiera’s pro bono attorney), they find him murdered instead. Their only lead: a stick of Nag Champa incense dropped at the scene.

Next thing Kiera knows, her new crush turns up missing—sans a hand (the real one, not the cybernetic), and there’s the familiar stink of sandalwood across the apartment. Two crimes, two sticks of incense, Kiera framed for both. She told Herrera to lose her number, but now the old man might be her only way out of this bullshit...

A fast-talker with a heart of gold, Bang Bang Bodhisattva is both an odd-couple buddy comedy that never knows when to shut up, and an exploration of finding yourself and your people in an ever-mutable world.

Quick heads up: this book is in pre-release, so this is a spoiler-free review. There’s more depth I’d love to dig into, but I’m hands-off until more folks have read it!

The Scene

Worldbuilding

Hooooo BOY. Buckle up. Here we go.

A high-octane story in the cultural tradition of Snow Crash, Minority Report and Blade Runner, Bang Bang gives folks in the queer community what they’ve been waiting for: a look at the cyberpunk world through their eyes.

In worldbuilding, Wood has taken cues from all your favorite wouldn’t-live-there-if-you-paid-me futures: the tech that argues with you has shades of The Fifth Element, the use of bionics and implants is reminiscent of Repo Man. And the harsh reality of gigging for a living and running on ice? Well that, we’re living right now. Mixed together, they make for a world I really enjoyed reading, but definitely don’t want to visit.

The Crowd

Characterization

Wisecracking, fast-moving Kiera is the POV character we’ve been waiting for. She’s clever, quick-tongued, a little bit of a spaz and an absolute sweetheart. She’s the type of quick-thinking trans girl who’ll yell ‘I got a dick!’ when a skeez wolf-whistles, just to watch him walk into a wall. She’s thirty years old, sick of the grind, and sweet-natured under the armor her world impels her to wear. Her foil is Angel Hererra. No wait, sorry, he changed that name, and that face, to get the world to give him a bit less of a hard time. It sort of worked…sort of. But it cut him off from part of himself too. And that’s never a good thing. On their side are a clever assortment of allies: the android studying law, the classy dame with all the threads to the underworld in her hand, and the indentured servant who really just wanted a better life. Underpinning the story is the sweet support of Kiera’s polycule, waiting at home with snuggles and bingeable TV. Cueing up the ominous music for this piece are Detective Flynn, who gives new meaning to being a dick, and several other impressive baddies. The characters, even those who aren’t fleshed out, are well-written and interesting. The ones who get more time on the page are rounded into wonderfully whole people. Most of them don’t fit society’s definition of ‘people’ for some reason. And with every move, they prove why they should.

Writing Style

Fast paced and sometimes brutal, this work is full of bright one-liners and witty zings. Like it says on the dust cover, it definitely has echoes of The Big Sleep going on, along with Snow Crash and similar zany takes on a dark future. But the author pulls on this setting like a favorite coat and wears it with style, making it fresh. I particularly enjoyed the showcasing of authority using legalism as a weapon against people who don’t fit: it’s a nasty part of the LGBT and minority experience that needs to be addressed. But I enjoyed watching our characters find their way around it even more!

The Moves

Plot

I’ll say this up front: I was not expecting these twists and turns. And I bet you won’t see what’s coming either, not until it’s right on top of you! Or, in most cases, right on top of Kiera. Poor kid.

(cue Kiera shouting ‘I’m thirty, dammit!’ in the background) In the classic neo-noir style, you have your crime, you have your slueth, and you have your unknown criminal. But the twists and turns that take us from ‘oh crap a dead body’ to the last page are nothing like you expect, and everything you want to read.

Overall Rating

A high-octane race through Cyberpunk City, with pit stops for queer love and solidarity.

Improve Energy Efficiency

Old bathrooms can be energy hogs, with inefficient fixtures and poor insulation. Modernizing your bathroom with water-saving faucets, low-flow toilets, and energy-efficient lighting can reduce your utility bills and contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle.

Planning Your Bathroom Remodel

Before diving into the actual remodeling work, thorough planning is crucial. Understanding your needs, setting a budget, and choosing the right design will ensure a smooth and successful renovation process.

Assess Your Needs and Wants

Start by identifying what you want to achieve with your bathroom remodel. Are you looking for more storage space, better lighting, or a complete style overhaul? Make a list of your must-haves and nice-to-haves to guide your planning.

Set a Realistic Budget

Setting a budget is essential for any remodeling project. Determine how much you’re willing to spend and allocate funds for different aspects of the renovation, such as materials, labor, and unexpected expenses. Stick to your budget to avoid financial strain.

Choose a Design Style

Deciding on a design style early on will help streamline the decision-making process. Whether you prefer a modern, minimalist look or a cozy, rustic feel, having a clear vision will guide your choices for fixtures, colors, and materials.

Finding the Best Bathroom Remodelers in Manasquan

Hiring the right professionals can make all the difference in your remodeling project. Here are some tips for finding the best bathroom remodelers in Manasquan.

Research and Get Recommendations

Start by researching local remodelers online and asking for recommendations from friends, family, or neighbors who have recently completed similar projects. Check online reviews and ratings to get a sense of their reputation and quality of work.

Review Portfolios and Previous Work

Reviewing a remodeler’s portfolio and previous work can give you an idea of their style and expertise. Look for projects that align with your vision and assess the quality of craftsmanship.

Get Multiple Quotes

Obtain quotes from at least three different contractors to compare prices and services. A detailed quote should include labor, materials, and any additional costs. Don’t just go for the lowest bid; consider the overall value and credibility of each remodeler.

Design Ideas for an Affordable and Stylish Bathroom

Creating a stylish bathroom on a budget is entirely possible with the right design ideas. Here are some affordable ways to achieve a chic and functional bathroom.

Minimalist and Modern

A minimalist design focuses on simplicity and functionality. Opt for clean lines, neutral colors, and sleek fixtures. This style not only looks elegant but can also be cost-effective by reducing the need for excessive decorations and elaborate details.

Rustic Charm

If you prefer a cozier feel, a rustic design might be the way to go. Incorporate natural elements like wood and stone, and choose warm, earthy tones. Vintage fixtures and accessories can add character and charm without a hefty price tag.

Smart Storage Solutions

Maximizing storage is essential for a functional bathroom. Consider installing floating shelves, under-sink cabinets, and wall-mounted organizers. These solutions can help keep your space tidy and make the most of available room.

Selecting the Right Materials

Choosing the right materials can greatly impact the look and durability of your new bathroom. Here are some budget-friendly options that don’t compromise on style.

Durable Flooring Options

When selecting flooring, consider materials that are both stylish and durable. Vinyl, porcelain tiles, and laminate are excellent choices that can withstand moisture and heavy foot traffic while offering a variety of design options.

Affordable Countertops

For countertops, materials like laminate, quartz, and solid surface provide a range of affordable and attractive options. Each material offers different benefits, so choose one that fits your needs and budget.

Stylish Yet Cost-Effective Fixtures

Upgrading your fixtures can instantly elevate your bathroom’s appearance. Look for stylish yet affordable faucets, showerheads, and lighting fixtures that complement your overall design.

DIY vs. Hiring Professionals

Deciding whether to tackle the remodeling project yourself or hire professionals can affect both the cost and outcome. Here are some factors to consider.

DIY Advantages

Taking the DIY route can save money on labor costs and give you complete control over the project. It’s a viable option if you have the necessary skills and experience for the tasks involved.

Professional Expertise

Hiring professionals ensures that the job is done correctly and efficiently. Experienced remodelers bring valuable knowledge and skills to the table, reducing the risk of costly mistakes and ensuring high-quality results.

Combining Both Approaches

You can also opt for a hybrid approach, handling simpler tasks yourself and hiring professionals for more complex work. This can help keep costs down while still ensuring quality craftsmanship where it matters most.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Avoiding common mistakes can make your bathroom remodeling project smoother and more successful. Here are some pitfalls to watch out for.

Overlooking Ventilation

Proper ventilation is crucial for preventing mold and mildew in your bathroom. Ensure that your design includes adequate ventilation solutions, such as exhaust fans or windows.

Ignoring the Importance of Lighting

Underestimating the importance of lighting can result in a dim and uninviting space. Incorporate a mix of task, ambient, and accent lighting to create a well-lit and functional bathroom.

Neglecting Future Needs

While focusing on your current needs is important, don’t forget to consider future requirements. Plan for accessibility features and potential changes in family size or dynamics to ensure your bathroom remains functional in the long term.

Wrapping Up Your Bathroom Remodel

Once your remodeling project is complete, take the time to enjoy and maintain your new space. Here are some final steps to wrap up your bathroom remodel.

Final Inspection

Conduct a final inspection to ensure that all work has been completed to your satisfaction. Address any remaining issues with your contractor promptly.

Regular Maintenance

Regular maintenance is key to preserving the beauty and functionality of your new bathroom. Clean fixtures and surfaces regularly, and address any repairs or issues as they arise.

Share Your Experience

Sharing your remodeling experience can inspire others and provide valuable insights. Write a review for your contractor, share photos on social media, and offer tips to friends and neighbors considering similar projects.

Ensuring Smooth Drains: The Power of CCTV Drainage Inspections in Auckland

Have you ever experienced a slow-draining sink or a clogged toilet? It's a common problem that can be quite annoying. But how do you figure out what's causing the blockage deep within your pipes? In Auckland, the solution lies in drainage CCTV technology. Let's explore how CCTV drainage equipment in Auckland can help keep your plumbing in top shape and how CCTV drainage specialists in Auckland can save the day.

What is Drainage CCTV?

CCTV stands for Closed-Circuit Television. When it comes to drainage systems, CCTV involves using a small, high-resolution camera to inspect the inside of your pipes. This camera is attached to a flexible cable, allowing it to navigate through the twists and turns of your plumbing system. The camera sends live video footage to a monitor, giving specialists a clear view of what's happening inside your drains.

Why Use CCTV Drainage Equipment?

Using CCTV drainage equipment in Auckland has several benefits. First, it helps pinpoint the exact location and cause of blockages. Whether it's tree roots invading your pipes, a build-up of grease and debris, or a collapsed pipe, the camera can identify the problem accurately. This precision means that repairs can be targeted and efficient, saving time and money.

Second, CCTV inspections are non-invasive. In the past, finding a blockage might have required digging up your yard or tearing down walls. With CCTV technology, specialists can see inside your pipes without any major disruption to your property.

The Role of CCTV Drainage Specialists

CCTV drainage specialists in Auckland are trained professionals who know how to operate this sophisticated equipment. They can interpret the video footage to diagnose problems and recommend the best course of action. These specialists can also perform regular inspections to prevent issues before they become serious. Routine CCTV checks can spot potential problems early, helping you avoid costly and inconvenient repairs in the future.

How Does a CCTV Drainage Inspection Work?

When you call in a CCTV drainage specialist, they will insert the camera into your drain through an access point. As the camera moves through your pipes, it captures clear images of the interior surfaces. The specialist watches the footage in real-time, looking for signs of damage or blockages.

Once the inspection is complete, the specialist will review the footage with you and explain any issues they found. They can then suggest the best way to fix these problems, whether it involves clearing a blockage, repairing a damaged pipe, or replacing a section of the drainage system.

Conclusion

Keeping your drains clear and functioning is crucial for maintaining a comfortable and healthy home. Drainage CCTV in Auckland offers a smart and efficient way to manage your plumbing issues. By using CCTV drainage equipment in Auckland, specialists can accurately diagnose and address problems without causing unnecessary damage to your property. So, if you're facing drainage problems or simply want to ensure your pipes are in good condition, don't hesitate to contact CCTV drainage specialists in Auckland.

Budget-Friendly Bathroom Remodeling: How to Save Without Sacrificing Quality

Remodelling your bathroom can be a thrilling prospect, but it often comes with a hefty price tag. However, embarking on a bathroom renovation doesn’t have to break the bank. 

With careful planning, strategic choices, and beautiful Dandenong bathroom remodelers you can get without compromising on quality. Here are some savvy tips and tricks to help you achieve a budget-friendly bathroom renovation:

1. Set a Realistic Budget

Before you begin any remodeling project, it’s crucial to establish a budget that aligns with your financial capabilities. Take the time to research average costs for various elements of bathroom remodeling such as fixtures, tiles, labor, and accessories. Allocate your budget wisely, leaving room for unexpected expenses that may arise during the renovation process.

2. Prioritise Your Needs

Identify the most critical aspects of your bathroom that need attention. Focus on essential repairs and upgrades rather than unnecessary luxuries. For instance, if your plumbing needs updating, prioritise this over cosmetic changes like expensive lighting fixtures or high-end vanities.

3. Opt for Cost-Effective Materials

You don't have to splurge on expensive materials to achieve a stylish bathroom. Look for budget-friendly alternatives that mimic the look of pricier materials. For example, porcelain or vinyl tiles can replicate the appearance of natural stone or hardwood flooring at a fraction of the cost. Similarly, laminate countertops can imitate the look of granite or marble.

4. Consider Refinishing Instead of Replacing

Refinishing existing fixtures such as bathtubs, sinks, and cabinets can save you a significant amount of money compared to replacing them altogether. Many professional refinishing services can restore worn-out surfaces to a like-new condition at a fraction of the cost of purchasing new fixtures.

5. DIY Where Possible

If you're handy with tools and have some DIY skills, consider tackling certain aspects of the renovation yourself. Painting walls, installing shelves, or even laying tile (if you’re comfortable) can help cut down on labour costs. However, be cautious not to take on tasks that require professional expertise, such as plumbing or electrical work, to avoid costly mistakes.

6. Shop Smart for Fixtures and Fittings

Explore various retailers and online stores to find the best deals on bathroom fixtures and fittings. Look for sales, discounts, or clearance offers on items like faucets, showerheads, and toilets. Additionally, consider purchasing gently used or surplus items from renovation supply stores or online marketplaces to save even more.

7. Focus on Energy Efficiency

Investing in energy-efficient fixtures not only reduces your utility bills but can also qualify you for rebates or tax incentives. Choose low-flow toilets, water-saving faucets, and LED lighting fixtures to minimise water and electricity consumption over time.

8. Plan for the Future

When making design choices, think long-term to avoid costly updates down the road. Opt for timeless styles and neutral colours that won't quickly go out of fashion. This approach will save you money by reducing the need for frequent renovations or updates.

9. Hire a Reputable Contractor

While it may be tempting to choose the cheapest contractor available, prioritise quality and reliability. Look for experienced professionals with positive reviews and a portfolio of successful projects. A reputable contractor will ensure that the renovation is completed efficiently and up to standard, minimising the risk of costly mistakes or delays.

10. Don’t Overlook Maintenance

Finally, after completing your budget-friendly bathroom remodel, maintain your investment by implementing a regular cleaning and maintenance routine. Proper care will extend the lifespan of your fixtures and finishes, reducing the need for premature replacements.

By incorporating these budget-friendly tips into your bathroom remodelling project and with the best Dandenong bathroom remodelers, you can achieve a high-quality renovation without overspending. Remember, the key is to plan meticulously, prioritise wisely, and make informed decisions throughout the process. 

With a bit of creativity and resourcefulness, you can transform your bathroom into a stylish and functional space that reflects your taste and fits within your budget. Happy renovating!
