No I’m saying you told your family to stop turning off the dehumidifier and they haven’t stopped doing that. No amount of home automation or smart devices is going to change your family turning the dehumidifier off. You don’t have a dumb system problem, you have a dumb people problem. And unfortunately a dumb people problem doesn’t get solved by a smarter system.

Dehumidifiers are already automatic. Black mold isn’t going to take over your bathroom in 10 minutes.

It sounds to me like your problem is human error, not the lack of a smarter machine. You can’t engineer your way around people being morons. The greatest engineering minds have figured that out years ago.

But dehumidification doesn’t need to be proactive, it’s entire point is to kick on when there’s too much humidity and turn off once it gets to where it’s set to. This is the kind of building a solution to a problem that doesn’t actually exist.

And you’re vastly underestimating how quickly diffusion works, especiallu for water vapor in air. When I take my shower in the morning the air very quickly saturates with humidity. I don’t have a very dry half of the room and a very humid half of the room. The entire room is humid. It doesn’t take 10 minutes for the humidity to diffuse into the dehumidifier. And then I leave the bathroom door open after which the humidity very quickly dissipates and equalizes the relatively high humidity of the very small bathroom into the comfortable humidity of the very large everywhere else that the small amount of humidity will have a negligible impact on.

I’m failing to see how putting more unnecessary stuff between the hygrometer and the cooling loop of a dehumidifier makes it better.

And how does a well designed automation system measure how much moisture in the air? There must be some kind of measuring device that measures moisture, a moisture scope! Ooh wait let’s latinize it to make it sound more impressive and sophisticated a hygro…me…ter… oh… uh… this is embarrassing.

Dehumidifiers already do that. They’re equipped with hygrometers that kick the machine on or off depending on the relative humidity. It’s old tech and it’s pretty reliable, wifi isn’t really necessary for it.

I gotta agree with Samus12345 on this one. This really does look like something conservatives would post unironically kinda like that pride month = demon meme with an ai generated rainbow Satan goat head that makes pride month look so much more badass than they were trying to show.

I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE???

But seriously though there’s something about a palm being itchy, especially the thicker pad where the hand begins to transition into the wrist that just is so much more persistent than anywhere else.

I understand Crayola is usually the preferred brand amongst marines.

I’d imagine closer to cop unions than worker unions. They’re still a flavor of law enforcement and get a loooot of unilateral power to detain people.

I’m an American so take what I say with a hefty grain of salt but in multi-party systems you have a wider array of political parties to align with that are typically distinct on various issues that sometimes overlap with other parties. Coalitions allow for flexibility in party choice despite some parties having policy preference overlaps and avoid devolving into a 2 party system.

Let’s borrow the major alignments of the political compass just for an example and assume that the parties ideally represent the stereotypes of the political compass, let’s say we have the LibLeft party, and AuthRight party each making up about 25% of the legislative body after elections (they almost never work together), and the AuthLeft and LibRight party making up about 20% each (they also almost never work together) and a true centrist party with 10% (they’ll work with anyone provided its not too extreme). In order to pass a bill, you need to collect an arbitrary majority of votes to pass a piece of legislation, let’s call it at 55% for our fictional parliamentary congress.

None of the parties alone have enough votes to pass legislation, they need to work with other parties to get legislation passed. So someone in LibRight (20%) has a bill they want passed they need help from other parties to make that happen. Rather than just guess what other parties want in a bill, the LibRight rep, might meet up with a Centrist (10%), a LibLeft (25%) and an AuthRight (25%l rep to try and write a bill that will satisfy each party, now you’ve formed a coalition. You work together to draft a bill that will include something each party wants. It won’t be easy because LibLeft and AuthRight rarely align on policy. Then you bring your bill to the floor to vote and if you crafted it well enough the combined votes of LibRight, LibLeft, AuthRight and Centrists will be enough to cross that 55% requirement to pass legislation by a wide margin, assuming the entire party will vote as a united bloc (if they don’t vote as a united bloc then the margin will be much closer but still likely reaching that 55%).

Technically the only 100% necessary qualifications to be pope are:

1. Be a man
2. Be (specifically) Catholic

And a third extremely common but not strictly necessary qualification of: Be a Cardinal.

I’m pretty sure Trump is some flavor of Baptist, which does in theory prevent his rise to the papacy, unless he specifically converts from whatever flavor of Baptist to Catholicism. But that risks alienating the evangelical protestants that fucking hate Catholics and think the papacy is the satanic antichist.

2 parties is the inevitable outcome of FPTP, there’s no legalistic enforcement of 2 parties, it’s simply the most viable strategy in this voting system. They very quickly became the biggest and out-competed all the others except when*… (see how the Whigs fell, the conservative Democrats split in north and south and the progressive Republicans rose to prominence) Washington was right to deride the 2 party system but the framers were building an electoral system long before we had some extremely serious mathematics done about making voting systems more fair, and also proving that no voting system can be perfectly fair and satisfy all fairness criteria.

And they also weren’t one homogeneous group either, they all wanted different things and came to compromise about how to go about doing it, some wanted a centralized army to stand up to outside forces, others saw that as a risk, capable of waging war internally. They were working off of the collective knowledge of the Greeks, Romans, and more contemporary writers like Voltaire, Hobbes, and Rousseau. They didn’t have the next 250 years of political philosophy that would develop that we know today.

The 5 stars of ratatouille might have been an anachronistic shorthand of good quality based more on how so much of what the average person is familiar with is a 5 star rating system (think product reviews on Amazon, app reviews on Google play/app store, driver ratings on Uber etc)

Like, I imagine people have an understanding that Michelin stars are a thing but don’t know what those stars mean other than more stars is more gooder. And to muddle it up even more in the present day a single chef can have more than 3 stars because that chef owns multiple restaurants. (See British shouty chef’s 17 Michelin stars)

Michelin wanted people to drive more, because people driving wore out their tires meaning more tire sales for Michelin. They created a travel guide that included a star system for restaurants that were worth travelling to, eventually settling on the 3 star system where 1 star was worth a stop along your route, 2 stars was worth a detour along your route and 3 stars is worth a dedicated trip to eat at.

Holds up spork

AI bs aside, Teslas actually do fall for the roadrunner gag because they use cameras instead of lidar for navigation.

Mark Rober actually put it to the test and… well… it failed horribly.

Oh yeah I’m saying it’s technically viable, not that it’s actually any good. Also if the fish is wrapped properly then it shouldn’t be leaking fish juices onto the plates.

If it’s held at a slightly lower temp for longer it can achieve the same bacterial reduction the 145F the usda recommends, its the instant bacterial death time. Inctheory if held at temp for long enough it would be safe to eat. It’s still a stupid method but technically viable.

And it’s not even a good search engine either. It just spits out sarcastic jokes from barely up voted reddit posts.
