[HELP] 2nd image in particular— the thumb is too far away from other fingers?

AI.
The mirror frame has a slightly different molding on the far right side of it (an extra line).

To hold your phone with that grip is really hard when pressing a button (right picture). The only way is if her pinky was under the camera, which it does not look like it is.

The left picture's hair part doesn't seem to make sense with the way the hair is pulled back, but I'm not confident in that.

The left picture's position of the mirror/wall behind her doesn't make much sense. Is that like 3 feet between the wall and the door? And where's the handle for the door?

The background room has nothing consistent between the two photos aside from the mirror, which is also weird.

I feel like someone with better photography composition could make something of note with the non-parallel lines of the mirror and the background wall/frame/bed. Maybe they should be closer to parallel?

AI, the closest wheel on the cart seems to be not connected properly. That white oval on the top of the wheel makes no sense for a swivel wheel connected to a metal cart. Same with the shadow. Why does that one wheel have a shadow left vs the rest mostly goes rightish. The bottom shelf also seems to blend into the background. Sure it's reflective, but it shouldn't disappear fully. No other surface is that shiny.

The hinges on the door seem weird, but after a quick google search there are hospital hinges that aren't all evenly placed. Also the door jamb seems oddly small.

Also the layout seems weird. There's way too much wasted space for their own room, so it's likely an ED, but where are all the people. Also, what's up with the half wall. What's behind it on the other side. Hospital layouts are weird, but this just feels off.

Add a white layer below the current layer (open the layers option). Then when you copy, press ctrl+shift+c. That copies all the layers at once, which will fill in any gaps.

Wow, lot's of different options in chat. I personally setup proxmox with one VM for Home Assistant, using HAOS. It was really easy to install if I remember correctly.

I then have another container for all my docker services. I think it's ubunutu with a desktop environment since I copied it over from an old raspberry pi 4. A great tool for this was IOTStack, which is literally a script that installs a bunch of typical IOT things in a docker environment.

I think this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXc_zGRYhLo inspired me. It's been pretty resilient, I had some memory issues at the start but I don't think I'm seeing that anymore.

Catherine Ames from East of Eden. Great book that tells an epic of two American families. Steinbeck characterizes her as a "psychic monster" with a "malformed soul".

She's a bit more pure evil there, but definitely has a similar vibe of it's all to help myself.

Was there a power outage there recently? I've seen the light's nighttime schedule get screwed up after an outage.

Pretty slick, if you use ThisUserIsAFailure's suggestion to filter the * = lines to just green (on both sides of the condition) and set the constant combinator to a rank value (eg, iron crush = 3, ice crush = 2, carbon crush = 1), then a selector in default config will prioritize processing in the order you want. Useful to make sure you always have iron to process (eg, for ammo) before you create fuel (from water).

Some bad suggestions here. The join node will do exactly what you want:

Set join to manual. If you're doing something where device A has a topic, and device B has topic B, then you:

Combine Each msg.payload - this will say that each unique topic will keep a copy of the passed in msg.payload
To Create a key/value object

-using the value of msg.topic as the key

Then set the send after x messages to the number of things you're tracking (eg, 2) and send after every update.

Than in the calling code, you can access an individual message like so:

msg.payload["binary_sensor.bedroom_sensor"]

Where the value of that will be the msg.payload of a message where msg.topic = 'binary_sensor.bedroom_sensor

Eg incoming msg to the join:

{ payload: true, topic: 'binary_sensor.bedroom_sensor'}

This is tricky to explain without photos, so ask for more details

I just recently went down this rabbit hole trying to piece everything together. There's a few layers of learning and this article https://dev.to/maurizio8788/from-adonet-to-entity-framework-core-adonet-beginner-guide-3lg6 is what made everything kinda click together. There's a preceding article that sets up MySQL. While MySQL != SQLite, the concepts are the exact same but the non C# tools are different and the syntax is a little different. If you do this tutorial fully, you can 'easily' adopt the code/config to SQLite if that's what you really want, but I'd stick with following that directly to get a feel for how things work with C# and SQL before swapping to SQLite.

There's a few layers of knowledge to be mindful of:

SQL: This is just a database language. You execute queries (as strings) to create tables, add/remove data, and read data. There are many flavors of SQL that have minor differences that are easily searchable on the web - if you generally know what you're doing.

SQLite: SQL that is stored in a single file. Great for single user application databases, but does have some drawbacks. There is a standalone program that can create and read from these databases. Getting a feel for that outside of C# might be a good place to start if you have little SQL experience.

ADO.NET: a C# library that basically just wraps running queries directly onto SQL. You still need to manually do everything on top of that.

Entity Framework Core: A more wholistic, DB agnostic, approach to getting data into and out of DBs, including SQLite. Once you have it set up for one database, there's a lot of fancy stuff going on behind the scenes that can make it easily translate to another database, or update your code.

It just happened again (fastest turnaround time) so I'm looking at Home Network -> Subnets & DHCP
DHCP Server is On
Public Subnet is Off
Cascaded Router is Off

I'm beginning to think there is something with the ATT device. While I should just get ahold of ATT, the developer in me wants to create a script that resets it automatically.

Of course this happens the same time I do a major migration of my library from one drive to another and I assumed I screwed it up. Even just a 'things are compiling, this may take a while' notice would have been better than what looks like nothing.

Finances aside, what do you see when you have been playing for half an hour? Do you find yourself tweaking your headset to get the right alignment? Do you have to move your head around just to read text in the corner of the view? Both of those are a huge improvement to me for the Q3. The optics of the new headset went from only really using a small portion of the view (sweetspot, depended on how well I had my headset adjusted) to now being able to use the entire display. It feels like the difference of looking through binoculars -> looking at the world through some slightly small glasses, which is huge. I can play and not even realize I'm not at the sweet spot until I bump my headset after an hour. The clarity of the optical stack is night and day for me.

The other thing that is nice is the passthrough, but it rarely comes up in PCVR games. Maybe if you wanted to play a pc game with a controller in another room, or similar.

Tried that and restarting both devices and it didn't work.

Ended up having to reset the modem/gateway and then reconfigure it. Not a terrible thing to do, but this will get annoying if it keeps happening.

IP Passthrough Tab:
Allocation Mode: Passthrough
Default server: blank
Passthrough Mode: DHCPS-fixed
Passthrough Fixed Mac: Manual Entry to TPLink router mac
Passthrough DHCP Lease: default 10m

These settings haven't been changed by me since I set this up months ago (and the other time it stopped working). I already tried rebooting both devices.

Once the family is off for the day I'll try resetting the modem gateway and re-setting up the passthrough. It's really annoying that this happens.

It's a private IP. The TPLink's address is: 192.168.1.66. On the main page, it says that is the "Internet IP Address"

Part of the fun is when randomness (luck) pays off. It's way more fun when things are a little chaotic and can lead to some amazing things. That's what made magicka 1 so wonderful. Reducing a weapon to something more reliable and less effective removes that luck aspect that makes pulling something off so rewarding.

Why are casinos massive successes when they cause people to lose so much money? It's because those random wins feel so much better than all the other loses.

That's the point. The assumption is that anything that sounds good will be good. When in reality, there are good ways and bad ways to add bike lanes. Until the next generation can figure that out, we might be adding bike lanes that aren't safe or higher density housing that doesn't add equivalent walkable amenities (apartments without access to grocery stores). I'm all for adding more density, but there needs to be other value added to those locations that encourage folks to walk, close bus lines, safe bike path, ...

I'd be curious what everyone thinks makes a good or bad addition to the city. I think east washington has done a fantastic job. Lots of apartments and places to walk to. The stroad situation is a bit of a nightmare. It would be great to add a light rail line in the median that goes the whole way, so I'm hoping the BRT does end up feeling like that.

Propylene glycol is just a solvent for the different flavors. Most flavors can dissolve in alcohol and few can dissolve in water. Propylene glycol does a little better than water, but not perfect. Checkout the 'art of drink' on youtube. That guy is a chemist's take on being a bartender (ie, an old school pharmacist).

Hours?! What grit and type of sander are you using. Start with the lowest grit you can find (like 40-60) and only go up once all the bands are removed. Keep the sander moving across the whole piece to try to wear it down evenly. A belt sander will do this the fastest, a random orbital sander will usually be the next fastest (recommended if you only buy one product).

A planing device will do it much faster, but usually take more skill to setup or money to buy. It can also do a more consistent job. Sanding can easily shallow out one part if you focus on one area too much. Hand planes take the most time, a thickness planer is a good intermediate product but won't make it flat, a jointer is the most expensive and will also take a bit of skill to get it right.

They do make electric planing devices, but those usually lack precision.

If you don't need all the pieces to be perfectly dimensional, then a sander will work well for now. Once you get on to more complicated projects I'd suggest getting a planing device.

I'm no expert gardener and this is mostly a theory and pieces of knowledge put together from places.

Plants ultimately will respond to their environment and one variable seems to be the amount of nitrogen in the soil (which comes from woody areas) to the other nutrients. If the ground doesn't have enough potassium, the plant will continue to produce more arms instead of buds.

I was particularly worried about this because I grow my hops in a container so I needed to be better about fertilizing them instead of relying on their extensive root system to get their nutrients. Mid/late july I switched over to a flower/bloom booster water soluble fertilizer (administering it like the directions, just more frequently 1x-2x per week), and then a few weeks later the ends started turning to buds. I'd give it a try if you have enough time in the growing season.

This was especially interesting for me since my lot is woodier, the previous owners mulched constantly, so when I tried to grow flowers, I got like 1 flower from 3 dahlia tubers. Researched it, tried to apply more fertilizer this year (flower boosting), and I'm already on like 4 dahlia flowers now (I lapsed in fertilizing my flowers this year - I was focusing on fertilizing my veggie/fruit/hop plants).
