I wish any of the conspiracy theorists theories are the real theories.
They are all into pizzagate and flat earth, and not “huh, I bet the government’s app is a peice of shit that’s tracking me”

thats gotta be, what, 1% of the profit they made from this?
I always go back to Prometheus when talking about the “Idiot Ball” because it’s the gold standard. You’ve got these world-class scientists sent on a trillion-dollar mission who don’t even know what they’re doing there until they wake up from cryo, and then they immediately act like children playing in a backyard.
The second the sensors say the air is “breathable,” they’re ripping their helmets off like they’ve never heard of a space-virus or a spore. It’s insane. Then you’ve got the biologist, a literal professional, seeing a hissing, alien “space-cobra” in a clear threater posture and his first instinct is to try and pet it like a stray cat.
And don’t even get me started on the guy who literally mapped the cave with high-tech drones being the one who gets hopelessly lost in it. Or the “Prometheus School of Running Away from Things” where you run in a perfectly straight line under a falling, circular ship instead of just… stepping to the left? It’s like the script needed the plot to happen so badly that it just stripped every character of their survival instincts and professional training.
Compare that to competency porn shows, like the Martian, where they FEEL like the best of the best


Yea, I have a friend that recently moved to the states, and their rates jumped too.
They were on a local, government subsidised, $10/day program too!


God, that would be amazing. I pay $1200 CAD for my child care.
When I was doing my shopping, LG and Maytag were trading places for most reliable


That is a very, very extensive “I have no clue what I’m talking about in this subject”
Maybe take 10 minutes to educate yourself before opening your mouth.


I use Versatile Thermostat and scheduler, for a basic control loop, and then use automations to overwrite target temps to versatile thermostat
Ie: normal temp is 20, but if only I am home, house temp is 18.
Are you unfamiliar with the concept of an analogy?
you’ve had to buy ‘extra stuff’ for decades. The TV is only half the equation.
Its buying a DSLR camera, and being upset it didn’t come with the best lens. It comes with one that works, but you arn’t going to have good results.


basically confirmed what i assumed (but we know how dangerous that is)
the news breaker got it mostly wrong, but of course the goverment isnt perfect.
Found the pedo!


Beside the testimony of this one person, de we have any credible reasons to believe there is widescals fraud here?
Fraud absolutely does happen, and if it’s real it needs to be caught, but there are also anti-fraud fraudsters
crazy to see that here. Was just thinking… Find Guardian? Mind Guardian"


Not blasting my retinas at 3 a.m. when I just want to pee is a pretty solid use case. The full bathroom light is tuned for my wife doing makeup, and it hits like a flashbang.
If anything, calling someone’s $30 tinkering project “late-stage capitalism” feels more late-stage than the project itself. Criticizing people for having hobbies is a weird hill to die on.


Yea, my guess is just based on what the strip says (12+12 watts per meter)
Only wattmeter I have is an Ikea ZigBee plug, which does draw reporting. Could use that and measure it’s wattage


yea, i added costco backlit/heated mirrors.
Had to run a new wire from my light fixture, but worth it,.
Pictures a bit old, i’ve replaced the toilet since, as the old one was leaking


yea, havent decided if it will always be on, and brighten, or only turn on when someones there.
The energy cost should be nearly nill, a watt or two (it 12 watts at max, and im using it at 5% for standby!)
No, it’s slash dot dot slash, but one of them is a period, and ones a backslash
