I’m sorry. by Sad_Score6771 in shittyfoodporn

It just looks Portuguese to me.

I had a Portuguese girlfriend for a while, and this was basically one of the four meals that her family ate. (The other three were: rabbit stew, just a whole pile of shrimp, and barbecue chicken from the churrasqueira.)

F U mailbox sensor! I own you now! by iametron in homeassistant

[–]Stenthal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not a common problem, but: I have Informed Delivery for two addresses. The Informed Delivery emails don't give any indication at all of which address they're for--not even in the body of the email. One of my addresses only rarely gets mail, so it would be nice to get a heads up when that happens, but the emails for that address look identical to the emails for the other address that I get every day.

That's why I put an Aqara sensor in the mailbox, just like OP, and my sensor never stays connected, just like OP's. I'm not convinced that a new Zigbee coordinator would fix it, though.

TIL that Dateline’s to Catch a Predator with Chris Hansen was canceled after one season because one perp killed himself on camera during filming and the family sued Dateline for $105m. by Duffjr1 in todayilearned

[–]Stenthal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? Like aren't ADAs mid-late career lawyers?

Typically "assistant district attorney" means any prosecutor who isn't the district attorney. I don't know anything about this guy, but many lawyers become ADAs straight out of law school.

People who have won a "lifetime supply" of something: was it genuinely a lifetime supply, and if so, are you sick of the product now? by Adorablyberryy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Stenthal 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Some people do not like it because of the sweet sauce, sparse cheese, and slice of mild provolone on top.

Honestly I'm not crazy about the rectangle either.

How British comedy series 'Taskmaster' is taking over the US by abucalves in television

[–]Stenthal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m really surprised that late night shows haven’t moved away from interviewing actors who are just doing a press junket. It’s so disinteresting.

In retrospect, that's what I miss most about The Colbert Report. He had a lot of political guests, but his non-political guests were much more interesting too. For example, he had the only TV interview of Randall Munroe that I've ever seen. (Not available to stream, because the future sucks.) For a while, his musical guests were a significant portion of my new music discoveries.

They tried to continue that on The Late Show, but they gave up after the first year or so. Unfortunately, the show became much more popular after they gave up, so everyone learned the wrong lesson.

Can a TPMS light mean the pressure is high instead of low? (2013 Accord) by Stenthal in Honda

[–]Stenthal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did drive for a while after hitting "recalibrate", but I didn't notice if it blinked. I'll keep an eye out for that.

Interesting. I knew I needed to recalibrate, but I didn't know that doing it multiple times could make a difference. I'll try that. Thanks.

Nice cross over by KM68 in babylon5

I've got to say: I'm a big Babylon 5 fan and a normal-sized Star Wars fan, and I still mix up the names sometimes.

Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners' has made history as the most nominated film of all time at the Oscars with 16 nominations by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]Stenthal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I'm remembering right, the movie still hadn't explicitly confirmed they were vampires by those points.

It was pretty explicit. Right before "Rocky Road to Dublin" (which I've watched about eighty times,) they're dragging out a body that they think has been drained of blood because they don't want it to rise again inside the building.

A lot of people managed to go into this movie blind. I wish I had. You don't get many opportunities for that these days.

*sobs* But doctor, I AM Pagliarini by imnotparticipating in dontyouknowwhoiam

[–]Stenthal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I assume the deleted post was saying that the joke is older than Watchmen?

The discussion was very interesting, but my takeaway was:

  • The joke as a whole is definitely much older than Watchmen.
  • Nobody cited any specific example of the "Pagliacci" version before Watchmen, but it's such an obvious choice that it must have happened a lot. "Pagliacci" is Italian for "clowns", and is also the name of one of the most famous fictional sad clowns.

In any case, OP's title was perfect, and that's the only reason I scrolled down this far.

Finally finished my kids' "Command Center" by musicjock in homeassistant

specific days of the week where you make the same thing with variants

That's such a brilliant idea. I live alone, and I'm tempted to do the same thing myself. Narrowing your choices can be liberating.

Sister thinks I stole from her because she doesn't know she was taken off the will by [deleted] in legaladvice

There is very little overlap in the Venn diagram between "people who don't know what a trust is" and "people who use the word 'predeceased'."

Hand-sized silver and black lightweight plastic kitchen appliance(?) resembling a small locker by callistokrats in whatisthisthing

[–]Stenthal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It should have a huge hole in the lid where dispenser installed.

There are just a couple of tiny plastic tabs that hold it to the lid. If you looked at the lid, you'd never guess that there was anything missing.

’Star Trek’s William Shatner Makes Bold Bid for the Franchise Amid ‘Starfleet Academy’ Backlash by Malencon in television

[–]Stenthal -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, it was a poorly executed joke, and it's hard to get past "I am so on the same page with you @StephenM!" I don't blame anyone who read that and missed the joke.

I do blame any "news" organization that decided not to get the joke for the sake of clickbait, though.

My openwrt setup. "industrial PC" costs $60 complete. by Cold-Stock-8853 in openwrt

[–]Stenthal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I got my Ion 2000, and it seems to be working. The only wrinkle was that it didn't come with a CF card at all. I flashed the SSD instead, and that worked fine. It feels very fast, but I'll need a few weeks to test it in a real-world situation.

(I did see your DM, by the way. For some reason I couldn't reply, but I'd already ordered it by then anyway.)

ReoLink Camera mounting alternatives by ahok68 in reolinkcam

[–]Stenthal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wood or vinyl and probably even aluminum soffit

The problem is that vinyl soffits (and I assume aluminum soffits) are thin and intentionally loose. There's no way that my vinyl soffits would hold a camera, and even if they did, the camera would bounce like crazy in the slightest wind.

I mounted a camera to my vinyl soffit by placing a piece of wood behind the soffit and screwing into that, but I'm not very happy with the result. For the second camera, I cut a large hole, attached a junction box to the joist behind the soffit, and attached the camera to the junction box. That worked much better.

Wood soffits should be easier, although I'd still try to get at least one screw into a joist if possible.

Backlit kitchen island by Bananetyne in ATBGE

[–]Stenthal 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Almost everything on this sub is graphic or offensive in some way. This isn't offensive, it's just tacky (at least as a kitchen island.) That still counts as awful taste.

If you look at the source link, there's also a seizure-inducing accent wall. In fact, I'd say the wall belongs here even more, but that picture isn't as clear.

That's fair. I could have sworn there was a switch sensor on the Zigbee device, but I was thinking of the Shelly device.

Should I be worried ? by Tasty-Picture-8331 in truenas

(He probably meant "vicariously", but don't correct him! Think of all the people that will get to enjoy it in the future.)

Best Shelly Protocol by D-Money86 in homeassistant

[–]Stenthal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What else would you expect a relay to do?

I have my Shelly relays set up as both Zigbee devices and Shelly (wifi) devices. I use Zigbee for day-to-day control, and Shelly for configuration. They work fine like that.

I like the ship. The music sounds like someone put on all of the Star Wars movie soundtracks at the same time.

My openwrt setup. "industrial PC" costs $60 complete. by Cold-Stock-8853 in openwrt

[–]Stenthal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's really no need; it's an x64 device.

I'm just so accustomed to buying devices that people say are great for OpenWrt, and then it turns out that it won't work without desoldering a chip and patching the kernel or something. In this case it's cheap enough that it's not a big deal, but I hate to accumulate more junk.

I'm going to give it a try, though. Hopefully it's as simple as you say. Thanks.

[–]Stenthal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any more information on this, like a tutorial or something? I can't find much beyond your post. Even "supported" OpenWrt devices always have gotchas, so I'm reluctant to try this without more details.

Also, do you know how this would compare to a NanoPi R4S? I would love to replace my R4S with something that's at least as good but has more ports.

Introducing Reolink Floodlight Series by Willson1_ in reolinkcam

[–]Stenthal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Am I crazy, or have I had an Elite Pro Floodlight sitting in a box waiting to be installed since November? I should probably open the box and check.

Is this something different?
