If you have a proper supply chain and logistics

Do they, though..? Or is it still the classic Russian “wait until the guy in front of you is killed and then pick up his rifle” sort of thing..?

Does it count if the ghost is bound to a suit of armour and the zombie is animated by some random lab animal's soul..?

A proper engineer would make the tag absorbent and use the principle of capillarity to transfer the water to the bag (and the other way round once tea flavoured) to cover this case.

Users can't avoid being stupid, but a proper engineer should be able to cover all cases.

If it can be mounted both ways it should work both ways. 🤷‍♂️

Anyone who doesn't want to share the bathroom is free to go shit in the woods, as nature intended.

I want mine to sound like the monoliths from 2001.

The brain damage probably helps.

Sir Terry Pratchett said, regarding fantasy:

“J.R.R. Tolkien has become a sort of mountain, appearing in all subsequent fantasy in the way that Mt. Fuji appears so often in Japanese prints. Sometimes it’s big and up close. Sometimes it’s a shape on the horizon. Sometimes it’s not there at all, which means that the artist either has made a deliberate decision against the mountain, which is interesting in itself, or is in fact standing on Mt. Fuji.”

I think pretty much the same can be said for Herbert (and before him Asimov) when it comes to science-fiction...

(Reading the article, though, it seems Herbert might have been a bit more of an arse about other authors being influenced by him than Tolkien or Asimov ever were...)
