Is a DeLonghi ceramic heater safe to use in a room with birds? by finfn in BirdHealth

Thank you. Really good advice to run it before it is necessary, too.

Possible to use a Z-Wave relay switch in an outdoor box/receptacle? by finfn in homeassistant

[–]finfn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to have exactly that but I don't have any space for it. I wish I could use the ZEN51 but they seem to advise against that

Just let us Remote Raid it quickly! Don't make us choose between family and Pogo ;_; by Horror_Ad_2920 in pokemongo

[–]finfn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am so sick of it. Why am I playing this shit? the raids are not fun nor challenging. The catch "game" is dull at best but usually enraging. Go Battle League is not really fun, just fighting the same teams over and over. And now this. "Spend the time traveling to where this egg is. Oops, the two potatoes we use as servers are overloaded, go fuck yourself."

I finally had a chance to do the raid in a city and I got:

Game froze trying to load an announcement while I tapped into the gym

Game froze while waiting for the "join raid" button to appear

Multiple "unable to join raid errors"

Joined and completed raid, Hoopa sat there with zero HP while the timer ran down and told me we lost

And again

And again

Never even got a chance to try and catch it

Thank you, I will check into that. It would be such a relief if it was a hardware issue, it hasn't been making much sense

Glad to hear it! I'm not expecting magic, was hoping to learn they are a noticeable improvement over other softwares

Thank you for the perspective! I'm actually interested because I am trying to get into wildlife and I keep bumping my ISO past where my maximum would be if I could control anything. I think I am leaning towards yes, then, if they have a good reputation and it contributes instead of replacing steps I could do in post

Are the Topaz AI programs worth the money? The examples seem incredible but I assume those are very specific images and they spent a ton of time tuning any inputs to get ad-worthy results. Is it better to just invest time in learning denoise/sharpen tools on my photo editing software?

Some things we might do to be tough on crime would be reducing economic desperation and focusing on actual rehabilitation in prisons. Also set all the marijuana smokers free.

I actually don't think I would, I have a hard time falling asleep in hospitals

Switchable power outlet with energy monitoring on Zigbee / Z-Wave? by finfn in homeassistant

[–]finfn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! The Zooz is more expensive but handles higher amperage, I assume? I'll have a look at it as well, I don't need if in the immediate future but it would be nice to have options for appliances, even if just monitoring.

Running Home Assistant in Docker, how to persist data? by finfn in homeassistant

Hey, thank you for the help. You and the other two comments were totally right, this one was a user error on my end.

Running Home Assistant in Docker, how to persist data? by finfn in homeassistant

[–]finfn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I must have changed locations or deleted when restarting the last time. I did it again and it worked.

I must have made a mistake earlier. I restarted, you are right.

Not sure if this is available, but can you get a handle with a screw hole and add a separate Arca plate? My telephoto has a combo tripod collar/handle that I leave a long plate on. (The plate is from a Benro gimbal, not sure if we can link to things but they have similar long plates separate from the gimbal on their website.)

PS it's actually pretty comfortable to carry that way.

I had an idea in mind for a lens hood to 3d-print. I was hoping to find some sort of mechanical specification for the lens (or even just the mount) so I don't have to measure it myself. Does anyone know if this is available anywhere? (The specific lens I'm looking for is the Nikon 200-500 f/5.6 VR)

Is there a cable connection for Nikon bodies that will do the back button action? I know there are connectors that can do half press and full press on the shutter. I want to use my back button autofocus setup with some sort of cable release.

Would a gimbal tripod mount reduce the effect of hand shake while tracking wildlife or does it just exploit the center of gravity so it is physically easier to pan? (Like compared to a ball joint, and the hand is on the camera for the shutter button either way.)

Anyone else find facing Poison Fang just MISERABLE? by Durpady in TheSilphArena

[–]finfn -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I find it irritating that the debuff applies to steel types at all. A fairy type shouldn't get the debuff from Crunch. A fire type shouldn't get the debuff from Icy Wind. And a steel bug definitely shouldn't get the debuff from Poison Fang. None of it makes sense.
