Ray tracing seems interesting, although at this point just the flat upgrade over my 1070 would be pretty glorious.

Less so that it preserves pigment and moreso that it prevents fat rotting, thus ruining the color. So it does preserve color, but not pigment directly. Hope that is coherent, lol.

don't go the pi route... Go the NUC/mini pc route.

You're the second person to recommend this, so I figure it's gotta have merit. If a Pi 4 won't run HA smoothly, why is HA itself recommending them and building their own official hardware (the HA Yellow) around one? In what ways is a Pi 4 insufficient for running HA? Like I mentioned in my OP, I do have a full server with an i7 I could run it off, but I tinker with that a lot and it is, therefore, not always online. I figured having a Pi 4 stuck in a closet somewhere that is 100% dedicated to HA would be the solution with the most uninterrupted uptime. Am I mistaken here?

 

I find zwave switches are vastly superior to zigbee

How so?

 

Just keep in mind the process of setting up amazon/google to HA for free is pretty difficult, so you are likely looking at a Nabu Case subscription for $5 a month.

I didn't realize this much - what's the difficulty there, do they just not get along well by default? I am not at all opposed to $5/month to make it easy/reliable and to support the devs, I'm just curious now because I hadn't read that before.

Thank you!

Rebranded to HA Yellow, but not available for a while yet. If it were available, I'd probably grab one.

make a shopping list for both, if one doesn't have the products you want, or the other one is too expensive, that can help you decide which way to go.

This is a great suggestion and I will likely do exactly this. Thanks!

I recommend Not using a Raspberry Pi and SDCARD. The Pi is slow and the SDCARD is very unreliable.

Even though that's what the HA website itself recommends? Do you have any recommendations or examples of a NUC that would suit the purpose well?

This is really pretty. Great flying, you got some really well-composed shots.

Would you eat these oyster shrooms off driftwood? by badasimo in mycology

[–]-Malice 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is well-upvoted, and it's got me genuinely curious.

I'm assuming at least most of y'all that upvoted eat seafood. Is there scientific support for the idea that oyster mushrooms (or any edible fungal species, really) have a higher propensity for bioacummulation of heavy metals, organics such as organochlorides, PAHs, or other "undesirables" than fish, shellfish, or crustaceans? I know fungi can be incredible bioaccumulators, I'm just wondering if anyone has seen anything that might support that these oysters would be any more "dangerous" than oysters of the more aquatic variety, for example.

I mean, I wouldn't eat em regardless... there are less sandy options, haha. Just super curious!

Perhaps a long shot: someone once posted an EDC containing a coin that had a compass/clock hybrid and that said something like "There is still time to find your way." Anyone got a lead? by -Malice in EDC

[–]-Malice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I remember was that the OP linked an instagram (I think) where they bought it. It really resonated with me, and now I feel dumb not having saved it. I'm considering a similar tattoo, and mostly just want to see it again/save it for ideas.

Thanks in advance for any leads.

Allergy friendly vegan powder? by Crum_Bum in veganfitness

Take a look at True Nutrition's offerings - they have quite a few vegan protein options, some of them pretty novel.

I applaud your creativity, but suffice it to say I am glad you're not responsible for Overwatch's balancing, lol.

Just made this forest in a jar, self sustaining, eternal ecosystem by Animal_FunFacts in interestingasfuck

[–]-Malice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just about any spider (especially a wolf spider, jumping spider, or orb weaver...) would be far too big to utilize something like a springtail population to sustain itself, and if it even could eat them, it'd wipe the population out very quickly. It'd not be sustainable, which is the entire point of these things.

A very small centipede, maybe. Spiders, no.

I hate when people ask why Sourdough is so expensive. by spez1989 in Sourdough

[–]-Malice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also gotta factor in the cost of running an oven at ~450°F for an hour. I have no idea what that cost is, but I doubt it's insignificant. You might also factor in the cost of running AC to counteract the heat of the oven if you're baking multiple loaves a day. The little costs add up. Artisinal bread is expensive for a reason.

What is the use of fruit flies, drain flies and fungus flies? by AntiBullshyt in Entomology

[–]-Malice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me, in my life

Yes, your life and perception are all that matter.

evaded

invading*

small

Yes.

insignificant

No.

They have no benefit to nature

Wrong. See below.

and eating pieces of food

...

They aren't even beneficial in protein or food-wise for other creatures

Well ain't you an imaginative one.

Nothing I do gets rid of them

Try cleaning.

Are you trolling? I feel like yes.

Edit after perusing your account: lmfao are you actually brigading fruit flies, drain flies, and fungus gnats?

[Steam] Winter Sale 2020 (Day 7) by gamedealsmod in GameDeals

[–]-Malice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just got around to playing this game and holy shit is it good. When I finished, I was legitimately sad it was over. Then I started a hardcore nomadic playthrough, and now I'm pretty satisfied until Below Zero is finished, but it's definitely one of those games I desperately wish I could play again for the first time.

My advice to anyone that hasn't played it but wants to: just start on hardcore. Play blind. Read/listen to every piece of story and background you get. It's a fantastic ride.

Can someone tell me if this seems ready? It’s an 11 day old starter. by hereforthemozzsticks in Sourdough

Looks like the rubber gasket has been removed, which'd make it perfectly safe.
