Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
We rely on ads to keep the site running, but I’ll never get angry about people using ad blockers. Hell, I’ve used them too. Paid for them, even.

For specific people under specific circumstances, these health analyzing smart toilets could be a huge help. But as a generally available consumer product? I’ll pass.
