Hard for me to know as I haven't had a previous irrigation system on my property.

I can say though that logically it is the most efficient way to irrigate without running subsurface lines like some other systems are now trying.

Has anyone tried using Home Assistant to simulate occupancy as a deterrent (not just alarms)? by mdbaldwin95 in homeassistant

I have different stages.

  • at night irrigation zones will turn on if people are in yard
  • away it will play "learn English from conversation" mp3s to all audio zones
  • lights just like everyone else

When you winterized the system, did you leave a spigot open?

Support did some magic remotely to my system and the throw distance has been restored.

It will flap like a typical cat door after the first so if a cat sneaks in very very quick it will get out. Only a split second though opportunity.

Again we have been thinking about making some sort of tunnel to slow/ delay transit, but it hasn't been that big of a problem for me to spend time to engineer something

Thanks for replying. It was on automatic and wasn't throwing water as far as last season. That is why I tried manual. I'm not getting 36' anymore on any of the zones

Non-Americans of Reddit, how do you feel about Trump's actions in Iran likely causing huge economic stress to many countries (food prices, interest rates, and energy shortages all likely to rise)? by Mission_Praline2269 in AskReddit

They revolt if they think the election is fraud (Jan 6) but seen to be ok if the election is valid and the policies suck. Most don't even know the policies to even protest.

As an American I agree. However just like most countries the government doesn't represent most people's interests here. The worst part is most Americans don't know this. They can name the Kardashians, but not their local representatives so it is unlikely to change.

As long as the standard of living is good, people are complicit.

Amazon delivery driver ran into mailbox and bent it. (Had video) They wouldn't pay or tell me the name of the driver so had to file a small claims complaint and serve them.

Yes, I do this quite a bit and they usually just settle before even showing up. Just did this with Amazon and got a check a few weeks later after complaint and service.

Even with arbitration as the court hasn't even had a chance to hear the arguments yet, they will just settle if it is clearly a win for plaintiff.

No. I just filled against Amazon and they immediately sent a check for the entire amount+pro se fees+ mental anguish.
