I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Later, Roomba. Hello Mint, the robotic mop
The Roomba is a great device, but it has an Achilles heel: it can only really clean carpets. You want to wash your wood or tile floors? You need a mop. Or, in a perfect world, a mop robot.
That's just what Mint is. This Roomba-like bot picks up dust with a dry rag then follows that up with a wet cloth to polish the floor up. It's available now for $250, although it should be noted that it lacks some of the features a Roomba has, such as bringing itself back to charge or moving itself from room to room. But still, if you hate moppin', here you go.

Oh man, I hate mopping. I would love one of those.
ETA: But doesn't Roomba have the Scooba?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Does Roomba no longer make the Scooba model?

Does the Scooba do an initial wipe-down with a dust cloth before the mop up?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, and:
I just need to go on record as saying Jesse's (and I think meara uses it too) "hrmph" posts always make me giggle they're so charming. I think I am spelling "hrmph" wrong, though.
Aw. I think maybe meara does say "hrmph." I just say "hmph."

Oh, fuck. I just realized I trusted someone else's documents without checking them, and now it's too late, and I'd better not look.

It looks like the Scooba can vacuum or sweep:
4-stage cleaning process:
1. Preps - picks up dirt, sand and crumbs
2. Washes - uses only clean solution to wash floors (mops just spread around dirty water)
3. Scrubs - powerful brush removes dirt, grime and stuck-on messes
4. Squeegees - lifts dirty water from floors

Our wings are not tired.
Aw. I think maybe meara does say "hrmph." I just say "hmph."
I adore both.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm reading a coroner's report for a male patient who died on a trial, and she says, "The external genitalia are unremarkable."
Well, that's just mean!
