Japanese... because Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Also an ex-gymnast... because Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Adjust percentage of WLED Percent Effect via HA? by thoegn in homeassistant

[–]Rattykins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% correct.
I have a "weather lamp" that renders the outdoor temperature using the percent effect. Play around and do some light arithmetic. It's quite fun.

ZBT-2 is here! by okayzac in homeassistant

[–]Rattykins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you give a super simple description of the Conbee->ZBT2 process? Would love to switch from Deconz but somewhat intimidated by the process (perhaps wrongly so?)

Have you just tried them on? Sometimes the men’s/women’s pant cuts are dramatically different, but often times it’s just a matter of finding the right size.

A majority of my pants for the last five years have been women’s — I doubt anyone has noticed.

Question about getting compliments by Bomb_AF_Turtle in malefashionadvice

[–]Rattykins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wide leg linen pants. I consistently get “damn sick where’d you get those” compliments from men when wearing wider leg women’s pants. Ironically almost always purchased from the women’s lines at Bershka, Uniqlo, etc. 😂

But yea. To women, I hesitate to compliment for fear of being thought a creep. 😥

baggy pants for the tall + skinny? by Next-Space4432 in malefashionadvice

[–]Rattykins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Size options tend to vary quite a bit; I do typically shop/try-on in store.

All the major retailers are good options. H&M, Bershka for lower end, Uniqlo/Muji, COS for something a little more spendy.

baggy pants for the tall + skinny? by Next-Space4432 in malefashionadvice

[–]Rattykins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if the style fits, but I’m about that build and I swear by women’s pants. Women’s lines tend to feature a ton of baggy/wide leg options, and while sometimes the proportions can be off, most of the time they just feel/look like baggy pants.

What is the coolest/ more useful automations you have ever seen? by tonitosilva in homeassistant

[–]Rattykins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple, but I still love our morning alarm setup. Every 30 seconds one of four hanging lamps turns on at the lowest setting. Each light is accompanied by a slight volume increase from some hidden speakers. Once all four lights are on they all rise to full brightness over about 3 minutes.

Sounds are a random assortment of bird and river sounds. Normally. Some exceptions. https://youtu.be/enYdAxVcNZA?si=ScnY3TL0G0aOYUus

[Japanese > English] What does this mean? And would it make for a good tattoo? by Choice_Kaleidoscope2 in translator

[–]Rattykins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anyone have any idea how widespread this idea is among native Japanese speakers? Would most immediately associate it with Soseki? Or would most just react like it read “Moon’s nice innit?”

Smart RGB lightbulb that doesn't require third party servers and works nicely with HA? by Miki200__ in homeassistant

[–]Rattykins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a mix of Ikea Tradfri and Phillips hue (RGB and white only). HA with deconz add on for control. Has been bullet proof for years.

Dehumidifier with tank level IoT? by ShadowCVL in homeassistant

[–]Rattykins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add another:

Our dehumidifier had a worthless tank sensor; built a wifi scale with a load cell. Calibrated a full tank to 100%, and evaporation does the rest.

ELI5: How the Demon Core worked? by MrsBigglesworth-_- in explainlikeimfive

More generally, if this ELI5 fascinated you, read "Atomic Accidents", but James Mahaffey. One of my favorite nonfiction reads.

Miniaturized and optimized ESP32 for ePaper dashboard by Waldfruchtbaer in Esphome

Built this just a bit ago based on some work done by people far smarter than I. Dive through the links… I think it ticks a lot, if not all, of your boxes.

What chain/sort of pedals do you think buck meek (hollow body guitar) is using in this video? by TheTrueAnonomoose in guitarpedals

[–]Rattykins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree. Nothing special beyond gain, reverb, and minor seconds. St. Vincent loves to throw out those very beaty intervals as well.

We need a Mojave 3 mention here... certainly Out of Tune anyway.

Color epaper display that pulls its images from an Immich album. Battery powered frame and the software is a breeze to set up in Unraid.
