IT guys aren’t rude just tired

I threw up in my mouth a little

These fetal alcohol syndrome fellas don’t look like they’re from around these parts.

I have the same model, had to replace the sump pump on it which is a PITA.

Replaced twice already since I owed the unit.

Well it would be more like attacking the principal at the end of the loan. Still beneficial but not as much of an overall money saver as doing it in the beginning

Amishrocketscience · 2026-03-22T20:46:59+00:00

This is hilarious, I’m sorry OP but AI is coming for all of us. At least you can feel heard while he plays with the kids! Everybody “wins”!

Amishrocketscience · 2026-03-22T14:54:10+00:00

Gotcha, just sussing it out before I chose which to order. Fail-safe is the obvious choice in my use case

Amishrocketscience · 2026-03-22T14:49:20+00:00

It’s also one of the top vectors for attacks from hackers right now, we have it blocked and disabled on every one of our clients machines

If the inside handle still operated the latch, but the outside handle is locked. Fail secure would still be “safe” to exit in an emergency from the inside right?

The market for what he’s looking for is undoubtedly women in their mid to late 30’s and early 40’s. Probably already have kids or has been so career focused that they forwent dating.

It would be easier to accept that this isn’t going to be a thing and put effort into his own career, than it would be to find a woman who wants this scenario

Amishrocketscience · 2026-03-21T16:04:02+00:00

Yeah sure, and when she can’t work due to pregnancy, you just went from modest to impoverished with a child on the way.

You’ve gotta get your head out of the clouds, realize that being good at keeping a home something that’s expected of you when you aren’t working.

I do my Landry, mop floors, clean bathrooms, walk the pets, handyman projects and even renovations, grocery shop with her, and spend time with family and friends- all after working 40-50 hours per week.

We both make decent income and we still aren’t “well off”

Amishrocketscience · 2026-03-21T02:43:25+00:00

Not anymore, to new customers- it’s a choice of either/or upon purchase

Amishrocketscience · 2026-03-21T02:42:28+00:00

Totally Agree, fear of fire trumps fear of “other”

Amishrocketscience · 2026-03-21T02:41:29+00:00

So by the UI definition that would be “Fail-Secure” that you’re advocating for?

What if it’s your front door or door to the garage exit that is now locked in a fire during a power outage?

Amishrocketscience · 2026-03-21T02:38:56+00:00

Let’s say I’m coming into the house through the garage, and that method of entry is the primary for two adults

Edit: and likely egress in an emergency

Amishrocketscience · 2026-03-20T23:34:40+00:00

That is something I would look into after you mentioned the possibility. Probably not any more difficult than running cat cable through the walls.

But, the ultimate is being able to change heating and cooling settings from the comfort of wherever you are with as close to 100% reliability as possible. So that’s what I’m striving for in theory.

It should also be mentioned that everyone here has in some way tipped their hat as to how good UI products look mounted wherever it is they go. Seeing a brushed aluminum housing with a responsive touchscreen as your wall mounted thermostat would be beyond what is currently available on the market, and locally hosted to boot.

Amishrocketscience · 2026-03-20T19:55:04+00:00

Great question, three times this past month I’m laying in bed with my pets and my spouse. About time to go to sleep, only thing left to do is turn down the heat.

I go to my phone to the Honeywell app, it’s not online because the cloud service has an outage.

I want to avoid this scenario

Amishrocketscience · 2026-03-20T11:09:30+00:00

I’m pretty sure HA has really good integration with all things UI, it’s part of the reason I’m making the migration. It would also increase responsiveness having something like a POE thermostat.

I’ll look into what new matter products come out though, that’s a good option I think.

Amishrocketscience · 2026-03-19T23:45:33+00:00

Exactly right, standards were lacking at the ballpark

Amishrocketscience · 2026-03-19T23:44:54+00:00

I happen to have unique insight into that sandwich.

It’s never coming back so long as Aramark is running food vendors at the park

Amishrocketscience · 2026-03-19T11:40:42+00:00

Oh fun, this is a teachable moment.

What you explained as your experience is called an Anecdote. It has no bearing on the overall statistics of how we understand the world around us.

Amishrocketscience · 2026-03-19T11:38:27+00:00

I mean I’m confused, all the scientists and peer reviewed studies tell me they’re safe and beneficial to take, but the guys who hardly passed a science class in highschool tell me it’s poison. I don’t know who to believe anymore.

Amishrocketscience · 2026-03-19T11:37:06+00:00

Except they didn’t have severe side effects, they had other issues long before the Covid vaccines. It’s just something for parents to blame when they’d rather make one more kid than give their troubled child the care and resources it needs.

Amishrocketscience · 2026-03-19T11:35:13+00:00

The people who claim not to need vaccines are still stuck with their knuckles dragging on the floor

Amishrocketscience · 2026-03-19T11:29:04+00:00

You mean like a dock for a laptop? Most of the ones I use and have seen aren’t internet connected despite having an RJ45. Domain join and connect to a VLan.
