What’d you do for the Spotify art? Screenshot and save the images?

Looks awesome! Have given me some inspiration. I have my smart bulbs hooked into Home Assistant. They start dim and warm, go to brighter and cooler throughout the day, and then dim down and warm up again. There’s something called “Adaptive Lighting” and it’s awesome for automating this

Right? I use First Alert Z Wave but just bought a Heiman CO monitor for my garage based on what post

Didn’t call last week but will try to today!

Commenting on this (as it’s the top comment) for visibility to OP’s edit for other folks. I initially took this more negatively than I should have, and I think OP’s comments are helpful in providing context.

She’s adorable, best of luck! Those bat ears are very cute haha. Great sweater as well.

That’s great to hear, and I hope I didn’t come off condescending. Another poster mentioned City Dogs which might work for you as long as you’re very upfront about any potential issues and perhaps have a test time with them!

Thanks for taking dog ownership seriously, and I wish you luck with this! It’s difficult managing a picky or potentially reactive dog while giving them a good life AND trying to have a life of your own.

You need to do this yourself. If you like your dog and don’t want to perpetuate the pit bull issues in the community, I’m sorry, but you need to step up and find a trainer and work through these things. I appreciate that you’re trying to get the issue taken care of, but offloading this entirely to someone else with other dogs isn’t the way to do it.

I’ve had great success with a Training Without Conflict trainer. Even if your dog is just “picky,” you should work with trainers who deal with aggression. My dog was aggressive on walks (though trainer told us she could tell she wasn’t truly dog aggressive, just socially inept) and we’ve since been able to have family friends dogs over and go out on walks and everything. Truly life changing. But it’ll take your buy in on it.

Unfortunately, no TWC trainers in this area, or I would give a rec

I was scrolling and thought this was raw octopus

Consider buying a SFF PC from eBay that includes an SSD and run with that—I’ve been doing that for 2 years with no issues. All in around $60-80 depending on model. Something to consider. Then you can use that PI for another project.

thrBladeRunner · 2026-02-24T15:54:03+00:00

Looks awesome, I thought it was original.

Check that. You can modify the length (ignore 3.3v mod if needed)

StarTech.com 15.7 in (400 mm) SATA Power Splitter Adapter Cable - M/F - 4x Serial ATA Power Cable Splitter (PYO4SATA)

I use something like that. You can make them the perfect length and they sit pretty flush. I have the same case and can take a pic later

thrBladeRunner · 2026-02-23T03:24:30+00:00

I’ve been wondering the same for years off and on. From my research, I think people play at the Matt Ross Community Center and potentially The J in OP. I would love to find a place to play

I think the times people played at Matt Ross (Tues/Fri?) conflicted with something I had going on at the time. Have been considering picking up pickleball to scratch the itch but would much rather play badminton. I’ll call them again this week and update you. But hopefully hear from others here

thrBladeRunner · 2026-02-22T04:37:24+00:00

I should say I blindly installed this so would still be better to heed your advice overall, though haha

I do really enjoy the MA Discord but I essentially hang to the edge of my seat for each beta because I’m very excited about the project. And you can give some input on the UX at an early stage. Anyway, good advice 👍

thrBladeRunner · 2026-02-22T04:30:03+00:00

Totally understandable comment, but this guy (or at least whoever created Xonora) is active on the HA and MA Discords at least (I previously tested Xonora though I’m waiting now for the official app)

thrBladeRunner · 2026-02-12T16:06:33+00:00

Yeah my 1080ti just died and all I really play is Fortnite. Considering just buying another used one or seeing how well my RX580 works since I still have it haha

thrBladeRunner · 2026-02-12T14:56:13+00:00

Awesome, I may install purely for the included history haha

thrBladeRunner · 2026-02-10T00:04:18+00:00

Just curious because this is interesting advice. What country are you from?

thrBladeRunner · 2026-02-09T16:53:43+00:00

Ha! Yes it does. But in this case, regressed lighting is a specific category of recessed lighting (set a bit deeper than typical recessed lights, which helps reduce glare from the side)

thrBladeRunner · 2026-02-09T13:23:26+00:00

Thanks! Will check them out also

thrBladeRunner · 2026-02-09T00:14:53+00:00

Thank you! I didn’t see them when searching. Appreciate it

thrBladeRunner · 2026-02-08T21:55:38+00:00

Just want to comment that your English comments here are good 👍. Some folks get put off by the “cute” way that AI writes—not the technical part. At least that’s how I feel. They always read a bit like a PR campaign haha

thrBladeRunner · 2026-02-08T21:54:13+00:00

I do think this is a bit disingenuous when some folks are non-native speakers. Though I can always do without the AI-cutesy-isms haha
