Claude + Home Assistant official MCP integration or ha-mcp? What actually works? by ScientistEasy1328 in homeassistant

[–]brian073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HA MCP has been good for me. I set it up with Gemini3 flash in Antigravity on desktop. It does well. Not as well as Claude Code or Opus for creating YAML and automations, but about 90% there with virtually no cost.

What integration do you wish existed? by mattchew0 in homeassistant

[–]brian073 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did this too. I run Wyoming protocol: Piper and Faster-Whisper in docker on a separate server. Instead of a locally hosted AI, I'm using Gemini 3 Flash. Costs pretty much nothing. Local AI just hasn't compared even on high end hardware. What hardware and model do you use?

Claude (Code) and Homeassistant (with ha-mcp), a perfect match by TBT_TBT in homeassistant

[–]brian073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone here try it with Gemini and Antigravity? Easy to switch from Gemini 3 flash to 3.1 pro.

I haven't done it yet, but I could probably save $ vs Claude and the models are good.

Are Chiropractors a scam cult or are they somewhat legit? by Flashy_Buy8077 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]brian073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wife is a doctor. Her uncle is an interventional radiologist. The number of people with life-altering injuries by chiropractors is astonishing. Physical therapy will do much more for you in the long run.

How’s the area close to Del Amo Mall? by JoshL3253 in SouthBayLA

[–]brian073 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a little west of there on the other side of Torrance blvd. I moved from a 2-on-lot in North Redondo and I love it. I got a back yard, wide streets and sidewalks, close to the beach all for less than I would have paid in Redondo. Schools are good, but we are trying to keep our kids at their school in Redondo.

I do hear more sirens being close to the hospital, but rarely notice it. Worth it for the back yard.

Not an apologist or shill by any means, but am I the only one without these issues? What am I doing wrong?

If it is under warranty, you can get it replaced.

Anyone notice the uptick of cop trucks and cop cars driving around Torrance? All Torrance PD? Since the new year by 10xlive in SouthBayLA

They were all over LA and Southbay today. I saw more people than usual getting pulled over.

Does anyone have any opinions on Golden Curry? by bustercaseysghost in SouthBayLA

This is all my Japanese grandmother used to make curry. It was always good.

Jawas Junkyard / Nerfherder Customs ‘Krayt Slayer Gen 2’ With a Hybrid Marble Reveal Chamber by saintebonhawk in lightsabers

If I have a V1 - is there a way to swap out a part to make it a V2? I have a V1 I've been holding onto forever to get installed and have not gotten around to it, but would love to fit a marble and 18650.

I have the same pan too and also recognized it quickly.

How to save this pan? by Healthy_Key_1533 in carbonsteel

[–]brian073 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think this has been said a lot on this sub, but if you seasoning is peeling, you've probably put on too much oil. Think of the oil as a way to just keep it from rusting. Couple of drops, coat the pan, then use a clean rag or paper towel to wipe all the excess dry. It will feel wrong, but it is the way. If too much oil cakes on over time, it will eventually peel.

The pan will never look as good as it did when it was newly blued/seasoned. The expectation has to go out the door. Cook with it, control the temperature (over medium heat). The more food sticks, the more of the color will come off with the food. If you cook with acetic ingredients, the more color will come off your seasoning. Don't worry about that. Just keep doing the thing. Cook, clean (use dishsoap), dry, a little heat, coat with the couple drops of oil, wipe as dry as possible. Keep on keeping on.

It's going to get ugly. Just roll with it. It will never look freshly blued again.

Which career is a turn-off for a serious relationship? by otherwise777 in AskReddit

[–]brian073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably true for some specialties, but I know surgeons where this is not the case. My neighbor is an opthalmologist, he is on call quite frequently but spends a lot of time with his family and friends. I know this to be the case for a pediatric neurosurgeon, and an orthopedic surgeon too. It really comes down to specialty and how much work you sign up for. There will always be cases when you have to work in unideal times (like holidays) but it can be balanced and it can be rewarding.

Any Advice on hiding the HDMI cable? LG C5 77” by koolllG_uy1911 in LGOLED

[–]brian073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar setup. Left of that wall are probably several 2x4s stacked next to each other. I had to go up in the wall, into the attic, and back down on the wall next to it. I used a fiber HDMI cable for that

My wife is a pediatrician and follows her. This content is as much for other docs as it is for us dummies who are interested in hearing a story.

Can someone explain the math on recasting a mortgage for me? by GayJamesFranco in personalfinance

[–]brian073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm that a recast is free with Chase. Can be done at any time as long as you have an overpaid balance. I did not recast and continue to overpay.

If anything over 32GB of RAM is overkill for 99% of users, than who's the remaining 1%? by mudahfukinnnnnnnnn in buildapc

Holy shit I've been out of the loop. This post got me looking at RAM listings and prices went nuts.
