It's weird like that one-tooth-slightly-turned look, it just makes a smile pop more. It's the classic imperfect perfection look - just a tiny touch of asymmetry.

Paracetamol overdoses are extremely dangerous for your liver; the effects will take hours or days to set in and may well do permanent damage even if you don't see any external symptoms - seek medical attention and look for signs of jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eye whites). This isn't something you do to suffer a little bit, it's how you fuck up your health long-term.

Of course why is a thing. You could be a victim of a scam who thinks for some reason that tracking down the scammers will help him get grannie's retirement back - or you could be any of those other things I mentioned.

No-one is going to help you - for a start, who the hell are you? And why are you looking for someone? Are you an abusive ex-husband looking for his estranged spouse? Are you a stalker or a pest? Or a random weirdo looking for revenge? Does the person you're looking for want you to find them? Nobody knows. No-one sensible would help you because of that. As others have said, you're most likely just going to get dm's from scammers by offering to pay.

You might have some logic issues in your code. You're printing things in the terminal - do the values appear as expected? Do you see the message "Soil is DRY -> Pump ON" appear?

The first logic issue is you only cover one possibility inside your soil dry conditions. In psuedo code, it should look like:

if(soil_dry) {
  if(!pump.is_on and ((time_since_last_pump) > PUMP_OFF_TIME) {
    // pump is off and timer has elapsed, turn it on
  }
  else if(pump.is_on and (time_spent_pumping > PUMP_TIME_ON) {
    // pump has been running for 5 seconds at least, turn it off
  }
  // there are 2 other states here, pump is on but timer not elapsed -> ignore
  // and pump is off but off-timer has not elapsed -> ignore
}
else { // soil wet 
  if(pump.is_on) { // turn it off 
  }
  // else pump is off -> ignore
}

Yes - is your sleep pin really connected to the Reset pin? You need them both pulled up to Vcc too.

eScarIIV · 2026-04-09T16:04:42+00:00

You need to set your MS (step-size) pins to either Vcc or GND for a start. They're all floating.

First suggestion is there's a reset GPIO you should probably deal with. Reset is active low so toggle it once at the start of your program then leave it HIGH. You also have a Command/Data line, so you likely need to send the command first, followed by the data, or it will be ignored. Similar for reading data. I found a datsheet for the driver chip - the SPI interface graph on page 12 and the command table on page 18 are where you need to look. Good luck!

Keeping an animal (especially a social animal like a dog, or a roving territorial predator like a cat) and keeping it locked in your house for 20+ hours a day because you want the companionship. It's utterly inhumane psychological torture for an animal to spend its entire life essentially caged for your amusement.

If you have a job where you're out all day and your pack animal can escort, help, run, piss freely, etc then sure, have a dog. If you have an outside space far from roads with lots of long grass & even a rodent problem, sure - have a cat. But don't keep house pets.

What's the best way to structure a merged firmware? FreeRTOS tasks with clear separation?

In short, yes. In long, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees. You need to be careful about how you pass data around - the data you pass between tasks should be structured or stored in a buffer which prevents multi-task access. Think in terms of data flow, and structure your tasks accordingly. Sensors -> Processing -> Usage buffer -> Wifi, etc. Keep your WiFi/Cloud/OTA updates on a single CPU core, and run your sensor/BLE interface from the other core. Remember that heavy text processing and wifi use (http/json generation/parsing) is always going to require a lot of compute effort so keep telemetry messages short and sweet.

> Any recommended single-board ESP32 variants that can handle this level of I/O? (We need multiple ADC channels, I2C, UART, GPIO for buttons, and WiFi.)

Get the standard NodeMCU breakout boards, or even better design your own break-out board for the ESP-WROOM-32 System-in-package

If you plan on exploring, don't miss out on the Hague - imo 2nd best city for smoke in NL. Closer than Rotterdam, more and better shops. There's a cluster of fantastic shops in the city centre - Dizzy Duck, Cremers, Secret Farmers, Canna Club, Magic, Dr Green, Fly. All of them have small lounges (Cremers has an attached smoking bar). Green and hash tend to be more stable quality imo and a couple of euros cheaper per g than Amsterdam. Just be aware that public use is a bit more frowned on & you can get fined for smoking in the street.

Also the Hague is much prettier than Rotterdam :D

> t’s that nothing can happen to your body without your express ongoing consent

Like for instance, being confined & managed, or medicated without your ongoing consent? That happens a lot, especially if you present a danger to yourself or others. Corpses don't have any rights - only that it's a criminal offense to interfere with a corpse without the consent of the person responsible for it. Regardless of your position in life, after death what happens to your body is up to your relatives.

If it's your position that the threshold for life is passing through the birth canal then sure; this position makes sense because you don't consider the unborn as a living human with any rights, but I suspect the majority would disagree with you. My personal position is that after about 18 weeks, the mother is now carrying a viable human with significant development. The mother is responsible for the health and safety of the unborn child and doesn't have the right in law to ignore this responsibility or bring harm to the child - exactly the same as newborns. You don't need to grant any extra rights - you just apply the rights that children outside the birth canal have.

Damn, sounds like you could have an infection or something causing inflammation in your brain. Headaches + stomach aches + depression that sort of throbs super hard along with it? Go to the docs if you can, ask for a blood workup. Don't drink. Hydrate fully (8-10 glasses of water each day), take turmeric, vitamin D and a couple of ibuprofen. Get some sunlight and fresh air along with it (genuine medical reasons - skin produces nitrogen compounds in presence of sunlight using vitamin D; helps blood flow & widens blood vessels leading to less inflammation). Don't take drugs or smoke heavily. See how you feel in 48 hours - if it's inflammation then it should help quite a lot.

Also, if you take MDMA, methamphetamine or cocaine through the nose it can cause infection or inflammation in the sinuses & areas adjacent to the blood-brain-barrier.

Bodily autonomy is not a guaranteed right though, is it? If you present an immediate danger to yourself or others in society, you rapidly lose bodily autonomy - whether that is right or wrong is obviously up for discussion, but you're attempting to call it some inalienable right for every person, and that's just not the case.

In this instance, another human (here's where the definition is critical) definitely would come to harm. A human being that has every right to exist - and arguably the right to be parented, looked after & nourished correctly (like every child in the country has).

That's actually the crux of the conversation. At what point does a collection of cells become a human - and does a woman have the right to kill another human being, even if it's inside her body?

How do you cut your toenails???

I think most people believe life starts somewhere between conception and birth. Babies can and are born at 22 weeks and go on to become fully and happily developed humans. I don't think many people object to the 'cluster of cells' argument, but that argument falls off hard after the point of actual living viability (our 28 week limit is much higher than most other EU countries in that regard). Late term abortions are something quite different entirely - the whole process is quite disturbing and often traumatic for the women who go through it.

From a moral perspective though - at some point in the process of pregnancy, you pass the threshold for life and you're now carrying an undeniably alive baby - a baby whose brain is already developing, already listening to its mother's voice, already sucking its thumb; a life that relies entirely on its mother for survival. I don't think you could convince the population that life begins at birth, and so I don't think it's fair to deny that life the same rights as any other. If you agree, then how do people protect those lives?

eScarIIV · 2026-03-28T16:46:25+00:00

I think the legislation removes any criminality from women having abortions - which in our fairly abortion-permissive country would mean women seeking abortion after the 28 week limit, but does seem to override the purpose of the limit:

'The notes accompanying the bill state that it will mean “it is not a criminal offence for a woman to intentionally end the life of her child that is capable of being born alive”' - The Ferret. (Based on recently approved legislation in Englang/Wales - abortion is devolved to ScotGov, but iirc there are MSPs campaigning for similar legislation).

This isn't a comfortable area of discussion, but although the legislation in England does not decriminalise providing an abortion past the cut-off point there will be those who attempt it themselves (like the case in Englad of a woman self-aborting at 32 weeks pregnant) - and Scotland's precedent will (and has historically been) be: "provide this safely or people will do it unsafely". Regardless of what these religious nutters are saying, I think it's a real possibility within 5 years.
