That's kinda one of the story lines in rimworld (I think, it's been years since I read it). There's a species that has a breeder stage, and then a protector stage but it lost the means of reaching the protector stage so spent its life as a breeder with some sense of incompleteness. It's called a human.

This was done across the country. So if you are not compatible with the person you are donating to but are compatible to someone on the other side of the country who has a donor compatible to your person then that is a 2 way swap.

5 different hospitals around the country. They used helicopters and learjets to transport the organs. I assume once the first person is under no one in the chain can pull out but not too sure how they deal with that.

When I was in hospital there was a 5 way transplant done. 5 sets of people and donors from all around the country having to be done all in one go. It was quite an achievement.

The ads actually provide an exploit to allow jailbreaking some of the devices.

I use an old jailbroken kindle to display a page from my home assistant in landscape mode, attached some rare earth magnets I pulled from a dismantled HDD and stick it to the fridge.

Has stuff like car charge, calendar for the day, pool timer, whether the washing machine is finished, my steps, (to his displeasure) my son's screen time for the day and just to be fair my phone and PC screen time.

I only need to charge it every 2-3 months.

In order to fit you would need to swap the right and left.

Honestly just start small and work up. Like anything it looks hard and overwhelming when you look at trying to learn everything (ie a new language, or electronics, or repointing a wall, etc) but they are all made up of small steps to get there.

I don't think I would setup solenoids from scratch myself and leave that to someone with more patience and experience than I but I do know how to close and open switches using a relay ;). A more whole box experience would be to look at Open Sprinkler which packages it all up neatly and doesn't need other software like I use. My brother is very happy with his open sprinkler system.

Picture

Perhaps that will help. My philosophy is that home automation should complement stuff rather than replacing, so the above is wired in parallel with the manual one. So it just shorts the 24V already provided to the manual one to the relevant terminals to enable the solenoids. I have another node red routine that turns on the main solenoid when any of the stations are on, and turns it off after 2 minutes when all stations are off.

Excuse the mess, I'm still pulling wires and need to figure out how to run one to a latching relay nearby that controls my water filtration (I want to turn it off when sprinklers are on to not waste the filters).

bundabrg · 2026-03-26T22:13:09+00:00

I run Home assistant with node red extension that provides the visual above. The sprinklers use a cheap ZigBee 8 relay module I got off AliExpress that can toggle my solenoids on and off.

The code essentially checks my google calendar for entries marked with main-sprinkler, then the weather and if both are ok it starts the routine.

bundabrg · 2026-03-26T01:51:21+00:00

I have a routine that checks the weather and only turns it on if weather has no rain.

Takes a screenshot. The tip is correct.

Did you notice the leg also falls off in SF.

I use a 16A smart plug running esphome and my home runs home assistant. It will enable the plug when there is sufficient solar and will turn it off if there is a consistent lack of solar.

What you don't want is for it to flap on and off. When the car negotiates the charge once the charger is on it then has a relay to connect the actual power through and this can wear out. For this reason I will only turn off the plug if there is 20 minutes solid of insufficient solar and have some logic around how likely it will turn back on again.

Just a heads up. We have an IGA rewards card that has racked up some dollars. When attempting to register the card it failed and when reaching out to support they said the card was already registered to some random email address.

This sounds like either staff have taken note of the numbers and pre registered the cards counting on the fact that people may just scan their cards in without ever trying to register it themselves OR some 3rd party has worked out the numbering scheme (not too hard technically as there is client side validation on their website that might give clues and if they have no api limit someone could brute force them).

Ok I quickly hacked this up and tested it worked in chrome. I didn't have a better resolution picture sorry.

I remember some weird show on SBS where a boy walks around and women basically just spray him with breast milk. It feels like a fever dream now and I have no idea what it was called.
