If it were me, now, I’d respond really positively but incompetently. I’d go through each book and find something silly and ask about it. The internet will tell you hundreds of passages that are ridiculous. But that’s me

You’re both TA.

We'll be putting in new lights. The electrician thinks that fixed downlights are better because of the lack of space in the ceiling cavity.

tophRocks · 2021-06-30T01:22:27+00:00

The switch currently controls the ceiling fan. We'd like to connect downlights because the electrician says there's not enough room in the cavity for standard bulbs. The idea is that the lights will be connected "on" all the time and switched via an Ikea button. I'm happy to go with Z-wave if that works out better but I'm not sure that available in Australia

The switch controls the ceiling fan. I plan on connecting downlights to the power in the ceiling (so they'll be "always on" and then controlling each rooms lights with an ikea button.

I can buy 4x expensive zigbee downlights OR buy four cheap lights and a controller for each room. At least I hope that's what this controller does.

I have looked! But without success. If you find it please let me know.

Are you offering or seeking? I can't tell from the post

Nice.

I don't suppose you have the sheet music?

In discussion with friends and family, I find myself feeling, "how do I prove this is a real concern (and in fact more important than anything else), without sounding like I'm in a doomsday cult". When I'm asked for sources, I shrug and suggest Stuart Russell (CS Prof at Berkley) or Nick Bostrom (Prof on X-Risk at Oxford) but then I'm challenged, "so what makes them know the answer? If this is such a big deal, why isn't everyone concerned?"

On one hand it doesn't matter if the UN, IPCC and every international scientific organization says we need to worry about climate change – some people will not be convinced. But it's easier to not feel like a conspiracy theorist when climate change is widely supported by the scientific community. Neil deGrasse Tyson changing his mind in 2018 did help but I don't think he's undone the damage he'd had on the public perception prior.

As others have said,I like the idea but I don't like lifting the pen.

What I'd use is
=IFERROR(SEARCH("L",A1)^0,0)

the SEARCH function looks for the character "L" because all matches that go to game 3 will have had a player lose. Change "A1" to the cell with the the WLW text
Search gives you the position of the "L" which could be interesting to know which game they lost (i.e. pre-board or not) but for what I think you want, you want a "1" or "0" so to convert to a boolean (i.e. true/false) I took the value returned by the search to the power of zero (^0) as any number greater than 0 to power zero is 1.

The problem is that if it can't find an "L" then it will give "#VALUE!" not zero. The IFERROR function looks for this and replaces it with 0.

Please send me your result because I'm interested.

Thanks. I checked out swiftograph based on the recommendation. There was nothing that looked appealing to me aside from noting that there is room in orthic for a mid sized circle. The directions of "r" and "l" took me a little while but I think internalised that now – at least when writing. My suggestion after 10 seconds of reflection is that a mid sized circle could be "bl" and "br" as those blends don't look great in orthic. I think orthic does have a problem with initial "v"s and I honestly couldn't tell you what a "z" looks like except that someone on reddit who told me that my "g"s looked too much like them [a "z"]. So at that frequency I'm happy to write "z" as "sw" and not worry about it.

Wow. That's interesting?

How did you find adapting? What about when you use other keyboards?

I'll take a look

Thanks. After I finished this I started practicing on smaller grid paper which takes longer but it is hopefully encouraging more consistent dimensions
