The “Five Eyes” concept has to be the dumbest, most transparent example of the “I’m not touching you” defense to charges of constitution circumvention.

I think I got my references mixed up. Thanks for setting me straight.

You’ve also watched Scrubs?

It’s not his fault. He fell on it.

I know this is probably a mundane engineering thing, but it sounds like a ramp up to a Black Mirror episode. We just need some kind of social commentary. Maybe the waste energy secretly contain MacGuff-ons, a known chrono-hazard. Only the poorest people will use it, for lack of alternative?
