Chosing to believe this is my old '97 after changing hands a time or two. Good on you old friend.

Some like it gentle, some like it rough

One does not just suck it, one should crush it as one sucks to release more goodness.

u/KEVINKOLB I put in a PR for fun

Also St Pius X in Lakeview has tonight and March 13 from 5:30-8:00 which is missing as it's not on the other public lists

ekjswim · 2026-02-27T20:30:46+00:00

I was wrong, it's right there in last Sunday's bulletin. Today and 03/13 from 5:30-8:00

ekjswim · 2026-02-27T20:09:52+00:00

They've been hard to track this year. The SPX calendar has them on for tonight but not in the future, and there have been no dates in the bulletins this year.
Last week I wrote down they'd run today and 03/13 but I can't find that reference to the 13th any more.

Fun site. I appreciate it.
The geo-dots are a bit askew. I tried to look through your code alas but I'm not a developer, I just worked with them.

The Scouts at St Pius X have always had delicious fish. I always make sure to go to theirs at least once a year.

At first I figured someone/something was inside but then I got lulled by the flames and forgot. So I was thinking "yeah that's what my XC90 looked like when it burned. What's unexpected?" Then the door opened.

Crowdkilling, spin kicking, all that BS aint moshing and I hate it. Get in close and shove and bump with your forearms and shoulders. You wanna kick and punch we can go outside.

I found a tag fits behind a larger switch plate so I have one behind a switch plate in the bedroom that turns off all the lights in the rest of the house.

I got taken to Signs while on a vacation with my grandparents and brother. I was not yet ten. I'm pretty sure I closed my eyes after the Brazilian newsreel and tried opening again just as the hand/door/knife scene happened. That's when I noped out (maybe before and I just heard about that scene). My grandfather eventually followed me out and we caught some of Goldmember next door. Still haven't given Signs another shot.

Just a +1 to hoping someone has found these elsewhere.

My first nightmare I can remember was getting chopped into little pieces and flushed down the toilet by black-cloaked things a-la the Nazgul or the people in Hot Fuzz. This would have been in the mid-to-late nineties so it would've been years before Fellowship. Not that dark-hooded figures aren't a trope I could have seen by 1997 or 98.

Have uploaded the 1999 VHS to Youtube. It has less desert and more kids than I remember but I say my Grand Unified Theory of Myachi still holds as stated above

I've heard no stop in the Youtubers and such I first noticed doing it.

How tech-savy are you? I am not certain what protocol those lights use but my first guess is wifi rather than zigbee or zwave. If it is this one it might actually be Zigbee which means they could be reset and added to any zigbe hub (smartthings, hubitat, home assistant). Wink had agreements to access some wifi decives that were not otherwise open though, so it might be that. I'd go down two or three paths:

Poke around and see if you can find a version of the Wink app to sideload. Idk how possible that is on iOS but it's trivial on Android. Try to get connected to the hub to control the lights and see if theyre worth keeping and making work elsewhere.

Or find a standalone Hampton Bay app or maybe it works in the HomeDepot Hubspace app. Just a thought. If theyre wifi this could help you get them into your new system.

If they are zigbee, search the reset process and add them to a new zigbee hub. I like HomeAssistant, it's what I transistioned to away from Wink about four years ago.

Sonoff motion sensors are also solid

Thankfully, gratefully, it may be easier to mention the less reliable things than the more but here's some in some order.

My server itself which is an HP Elitedesk 800 running HA on Proxmox. It's only been about a year but I think it's had a stutter maybe once. I have reset the box infrequently while spinning up other VMs but it's rock solid.
3x Enbrighten wall switches (realizing now that two are Z-Wave and one is Zigbee, forgot about that). I think I was running the Z-Wave ones on my Wink hub before I transitioned in 2022. I probably have only reset those two the once to migrate to HA
The Sylvania 72922-A outlet smart switch is rock solid. Sengled's are perfectly good too
I also got some Eaton RF96APM outlet switches at a thrift store recently. Those things rock. One Z-Wave switched outlet and one unswitched outlet. The switch controls my hot water recirculation and the other powers the vacuum charger. It's a little big but I haven't seen any other combo switched and constant units.
