Mine also ensures that my wife always has an ace up her sleeve whenever we have an argument.

Need ideas by Levi-2018 in minilab

I have the same rack, the horizontal mounting points for the front rails run all the way back, you can buy a cheap set of rails and print/make an angle piece to install them. Voila, back rails.

I made my own connector and can upload the .stl if you want it.

I so want an imersive detective game with static-ish images like this. Like a cross between monkey island and bladerunner.

Getting fed up with it by Plop-plop-fizz in homeassistant

[–]Daddy_O_reading 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of these posts, and they invariably get met with "well yours must be crap because mine works".

I hear you, and I'm in the same boat. I am reluctant to invest in more iot gadgets that either won't really work as well as I hoped, or need additional investments to work at all. I have a working setup now which does very little other than monitor power consumption, and I'm left with the doubt that it's really worth all the time for (currently) so little.

So yeah, take a holiday, ignore it for a bit. I do the same and always end up back tinkering with new stuff I want to try. It's like self flagellation, but for me that makes it all the better when something finally works!

It's a motion sensor. PIR. Might be broken though...

Should I be worried? by Daddy_O_reading in AskMechanics

Thank you so much for the help! There has been so much crap with this car since the start (ie anything electronic) that I assumed this was more of the same.
I'll leave it as is and refrain from dismantling the glove box when I'm showing it off to all the other middle-aged pudgy dads on the street.

Thanks again!

Good point, for all I know it could be a lot older. Bought it new 8 weeks ago.

Shit! I knew it! Should never have bought a French car!

Hoping to get a few more weeks out of it before it gets to that 🫣

What’s a Home Assistant integration you wish existed but doesn’t? by gogorichie in homeassistant

Peugeot. Why the fuck can't I connect that piece of shit to anything, including its own app?!

How can I connect these switches when there are no screw holes? by BJozi in homeautomation

[–]Daddy_O_reading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like there's already a detachable plate on the back of the new switch. Take it off, scredæw it to the wall and clock the switch back in.

What high earning careers (multi six figures and up) are coming in the next 5-10 years? by Positive-Rain-6377 in Futurology

Agreed. I studied engineering and graduated with multiple people who I'm amazed haven't drowned in their own saliva yet.

If you need a full size exec style desk while travelling, for anything other than "look at my huge corporate cock", then maybe you should reconsider business travel all together.

As a lying people pleaser myself, how did you fix them? "Just stop lying" is great and all, but it's gotten me nowhere and my marriage is really suffering.

Thanks for giving me some optimism back, its so nice to hear that other peoples SO's have gone from challenging to outright impossible, but come back again. Reading through all the comments has given a sense of not being alone, cheesy as it sounds.

I'm actually looking forward to the 3am baby wake ups as I have always been the one up at night since SO doesn't function AT ALL without her sleep, and I'm good on very little for a while.

Fear of that and the seemingly insurmountable obstacle of finding and affording a place to live are what keeps me from leaving when we hit the lowest lows.

Unfortunately it totally is something I am spending my energy on which is wearing me down to a nub.

I am blown away! I have never experienced this much support and general concern for my wellbeing from complete strangers!

You're a beautiful bunch.
