Fair that you don't use it, but you don't want an errant button press to cause plastic to melt and drip into your heating element. Better to plan for the full environment you may experience, not just the environment you intend to use.

Reminds me of being on a 767 from Atlanta to Orlando. Boarding the plane took longer than the flight.

They dispose of them on non-returnable cargo vehicles like Progress and Cygnus, so just watch the ISS visiting vehicle schedule

It's pretty much just a metal can full of bags of poop. A visual inspection is all they need to decide. You don't need to spend the money outfitting it with sensors and integrating it with the ISS telemetry system so ground controllers know whether to ask the crew to change the poop can.

They don't recycle the poop and there's no telemetry on it

I did a purge valve on my wife's car last week. 30 bucks and 45 minutes of my time vs like $170 at the dealer.

when u make a silly joke on this platform
5 panel comic

Panel 1: Pink guy saying: I just made a silly joke!

Panel 2: Pink guy turns to see a door swing open, revealing a Weird Greenish Guy in the doorway

Panels 3-5: Weird greenish guy begins to walk towards Pink Guy in a very creepy manner. He says: I’m Gonna take it SERIOUSLY

By panel 5 Weird Guy has Pink Guy in a death grip. He’s going to throttle him for having the audacity to tell a silly joke on social media
