It takes a lot of processing power to mine bitcoin. It takes so much, in fact, that a bitcoin mining rig can effectively be used as a heater.
This no-touch sink at a public washroom is a nice idea, but c'mon: there'll be a mess. It's a public washroom. People always find a way.
These paving stones are all shaped like a stylized map of Texas. It's pretty clever how they've been designed to fit together.
