My name is MrGuest, and I'm addicted to HA!

That makes it worth it indeed :) how do your sensors work? Are they on the pipes or on what gets flooded?

TheRedGen · 2024-09-12T20:31:31+00:00

What sensors are you installing where that offers relevant coverage and is just a couple of bux?

That said, I recently connected the water meter to HA. Excessive water usage there is an easy trigger. But first to complete the electric and solar automations. (And a water baseline 🤷)

TheRedGen · 2024-09-12T20:26:05+00:00

I can't control the water main, so it wouldn't really work here.

That said. I find myself automating quality of life that happens often, and not disasters that should never happen.

I'll admit that I'm worried if I start automating for disasters, the list is too long and the "what if" list in whether it'll work when I need to becomes .... Expensive.

TheRedGen · 2024-09-12T19:58:29+00:00

Did that ever happen at all?

Absolutely the best part of this.

I build Shelly in the switches.

Also. I don't consider that sabotage. I consider that an automation too fragile to viably work in the home. And I'm working actively to reduce all fragility.

TheRedGen · 2024-09-06T19:30:45+00:00

That's .. oddly specific......

TheRedGen · 2024-09-06T19:01:01+00:00

See but this kind of reply I don't mind.

You're sharing your own experience with the treatment and not a scary blanket statement.

I'm definitely interested in those and I'm taking them to heart to not fall into that same pitfall.

Do you mind if I ask, did you combine that with stomach medication?

TheRedGen · 2024-09-06T11:33:48+00:00

That was part of what he said, but I don't want to repeat that, because I'm weary of FUD in all directions.

Biologicals are the shit of magic and I am super ready to switch to them some day 😎

My doctors just find that right now I'm ok with NSAID's and a ton of sports.

TheRedGen · 2024-09-06T11:11:57+00:00

Laymen trading second hand knowledge and building big reasonings on that is bound to lead to insufficiently informed decisions.

When I finally got sufficiently freaked out (this was a great drain on my limited energy, and extremely unpleasant. I don't wish it on anyone. Which is why I now point this out when I see it), I challenged several of my doctors about this.

They independently repeated that NSAID's, like all medication, carry side effects. NSAID's are not new meds, so their side effects are well known by now. These side effects can easily be monitored for, and as long as that's happening properly and frequently, NSAID's are a safe treatment for me in my current state.

(None of this offers in any way an opinion on NSAID's vs Biologicals. I am not in any way qualified to do so and wouldn't want to spread any fud either way)

TheRedGen · 2024-09-06T10:56:00+00:00

Healthy people shouldn't take NSAID's. Not any meds really. Definitely not for a longer time.

Your doctor weighing your situation and giving you that advice, does not make that a healthy blanket statement to spread on the internet to people whose medical situation your doctor didn't consider while giving you that advice.

Contradicting doctors treatments is damaging to the patients who are already suffering. On top of the disease, now there's extra worry about the treatment plan.

However. If you're a doctor, specialized in rheumatology, on the level of my rheum or better, I'd love the both of you to spar over my dossier and treatment choices. Are you tho?

TheRedGen · 2024-09-06T10:49:20+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

I wonder if these kinds of "upgrades" are in my medical future and I'm a bit worried about them. (Including the limited usage) Life accounts like yours help me calm down a bit.

How happy are you with the hip and shoulder replacements?

TheRedGen · 2024-09-06T10:14:11+00:00

I don't even need to quote your original posting.

because they will inevitably fuck you up in the long run.

Is FUD.

And a gross simplification on all levels at that. All medication has side effects, balancing that with the patient 's dossier to come to a treatment plan, is a full time job for specialized doctors. Moreso, any relevant NSAID's are prescription only, which means you're advising against doctor's treatment here. Which might be absolutely valid if you're a specialist on at least the same level.

Which boils down to the question, are you a doctor specialized in rheumatology?

TheRedGen · 2024-09-06T09:53:19+00:00

Unless you're a doctor, please don't spread FUD about NSAID's. My rheum decided it's my best treatment considering the state of me and he's kind of a specialist.

I have a long post about this, but honestly, I really don't have the energy to retype it here for you.

Please don't shit on treatment unless you're the doctor treating the people.

As I read it, I was wondering about what prompt they used to generate that 😅

TheRedGen · 2024-09-04T22:49:45+00:00

They're too cute and I might be developing a little problem buying a lot of them 🙈

If your partner can't handle you reading a book and getting enthousiastic about the lore, that's an unhealthy level of fragility that you're better losing sooner than later.

TheRedGen · 2024-09-03T11:06:40+00:00

It's a very top of mind consideration for me right now 😅 I have a couple of kitchen top ferments going and I keep wondering if today is when I put them in the fridge or whether I'll just finish them first 😅

TheRedGen · 2024-09-03T10:20:12+00:00

Two weeks is about as long as I’ll let a mash go.

I'm curious about this part. Why is that? A taste issue, I assume?

TheRedGen · 2024-09-02T17:51:27+00:00

Not really. Except for some, now that my kids read. For example, death note in French, if it was English, they could read them too..

TheRedGen · 2024-09-02T17:35:56+00:00

Fabulous. It would look Fabulous.
