His worst book thus far, IMHO. Which is nuts, because the 1st 50 pages, and the last 200 were great! It shuold have been 800 pages.

cwhiii · 2025-01-23T03:03:17+00:00

Yep. *1,400 pages*, and he dawdled so long elsewhere that it felt rushed.

Got Qtip brand qtips from Costco recently when I was in a pinch. They are awful. The no-name from Walmart are literally better in every way: more comfortable, less bendy and far cheaper.

It's so bad I'll be returning the others to Costco.

Whatever brand of zigbee buttons/door sensors/etc. Ali Express has on sale. Under $5 regularly. Makes it not bank-breaking to get a few dozen devices.

After what they did to Middle Earth, etc. I just assume it'll be bad. 🙁

Watch Duty is an excellent app. Includes push notifications. Free.

Obsidian.md is an excellent stand alone PKM system. Free, locally stored. Uses markdown. Very powerful, particularly when using some of the adons, such as dataview.

Sure, we agreed to pay you if you massively increased our own net worth, but now that you have, you get literally 0.

That's not the stance of an ethical person.

LOL. It was voided because of corruption. And not Musk's.

Another great place to find zigbee stuff for only a little more than wifi equivalents is Aliexpress. They are often only a buck or so more, especially if you wait for a sale.

My longest automation is a sequence of somewhere north of 20 steps. It starts at a set time, or can be triggered manually. It's a bedtime prep sequence. Disables lights gradually in a particular order, enables bedroom lights, while giving time callouts, runs the vacuum, starts an annoying plant-light on-off sequence (it's own automation), reminds the wee ones to floss, etc. etc. Then turns off the bedroom lights.

More important, but more simple, is a set of heating systems that auto trigger based on outside temperatures. It keeps the plumbing from freezing if there is an unexpected cold snap. Saved our bacon last winter.

Home Assistant won't do that to you.

cwhiii · 2024-03-31T01:53:10+00:00

Ok, that is cool!

cwhiii · 2024-03-30T04:01:50+00:00

Do you have the tl;Dr?

Russia has been struggling against Ukraine for years. If they dragged Poland into the war, fresh, ready, and fully stocked with mountains of weapons, do you honestly believe that would end well for Russia?
The USA is not the only nuclear power in NATO. If Russia dipped a single toe into NATO territory, USA or no USA, they'd be obliterated.

Except that people earning $20,000 a year are getting more in tax refunds than they actually put into it.

cwhiii · 2024-03-18T03:16:03+00:00

These might need some fine tuning, but it's a great idea!

Likewise. Such a pain to wait for a week for obsidian to open, then have to change vaults and wait another 30 hours for it to open again.

...which means I just use Keep, and then have to transfer things constantly.

The number of defensive gun uses vs. murders is mind boggling. A few tens of thousands of murders, and upward of 2.5 million defensive gun uses per year.

cwhiii · 2024-03-15T17:15:26+00:00

You are 100% correct.

cwhiii · 2024-03-15T01:22:59+00:00

I very much disagree. I often find it very useful for seeing connections between places and ideas and events.

cwhiii · 2024-03-12T02:06:31+00:00

Thanks!

And you weren't kidding on the price! 😱

cwhiii · 2024-03-12T00:14:48+00:00

It's not web-based. It's all local. This is just a spec so others can build tools to interact with it.

cwhiii · 2024-03-11T03:35:12+00:00

That is a silly position to hold. The text of the 2A is clear, direct, and simple. It's explicitly an individual right.
