That may be the most incredible thing I’ve seen. My condolences.

Sounds like a great chance to teach the child, they got to see the consequences of a bad decision directly and it will likely be memorable. Perhaps:

• How to forgive someone who makes a mistake
• Making a bad choice doesn’t make you a bad person (and a good lesson for you to remember too)
• How to avoid repeating a past mistake
• How to try and make things right

Also, maybe grab a suction cup toy, vinyl sticker, or other device to mark the highest the shower should be filled. A visual will help them know the limit.

Make a bunch and freeze it, now you have premade meals of the good shit whenever you want.

Ah yes, my favorite “If your fever dream made music” artist!

Unsurprising

Yes, and one with unrestricted internet access. Can you elaborate on how someone underage would abuse this system? They can’t buy one at the store, can’t reuse one that has expired so finding one won’t help, and if theft is a concern they would just need to be secured like any other restricted good. I would say it’s at least as secure alcohol, tobacco, or firearms.

You know how there are stores that sell restricted substances and verify your age by checking a provided ID? Have those same stores sell a cheap, sealed card with a confirmation code on it. You can enter that code online to verify any service. The code expires after a set period of time after it’s first use to prevent sharing and misuse.

This system would be as secure as the restrictions on the restricted substance, such as alcohol, so it should be fine for “protecting the children”

The opening scene involves the two of them locked in an apartment slowly starving to death while their neighbor attempts to summon a demon and dies leaving behind piles of edible meat.

If you go out again there’s a chance you could catch a magnet!

I tell people it’s my super power or computers just find me very intimidating.

You know how starring directly into the sun for too long leads to pain, damage, and blindness? Even just being exposed to it directly for too long can lead to burns, dehydration, and delirium. Best wear sunglasses, move into the shade, avoid spending too much time exposed, and drink more water.

This has been a metaphor, thanks for reading!

Good will and user happiness are both resources that companies earn and spend. I doubt lessons being learned.

I had a similar situation with a cabin with terrible switch placement and maybe a single switched outlet for a lamp that just wasn’t positioned very well.

I used the wall switch to turn on the switched outlet and that triggered three other lamps to turn on. I also configured it to dim them all from that same switch, a Tapo S505D. It worked well until someone else plugged a space heater into the outlet and killed the dimmer.

I also put a ZBT-2 to add ZigBee to the system, as I had a bunch of IKEA smart, wireless remotes that just didn’t work well through their hub and matter integration. With the ZBT-2, I added the remotes directly and had full control over the triggers, so I created an automation to act as a light switch that could be mounted anywhere and control anything.

When said person killed the dimmer, they just grabbed a wireless switch and stuck it on the wall above the switch and now the lights can be controlled while I order a replacement. I’ve got a bunch more remotes coming this week to add switches to every entrance to the room that previously had nothing.

Then you would fit in in the red areas.

When you walk into a house, do you remove your shoes?

Depends on the demographic you are interacting with. When networking with other professionals it is probably easier to just scan a QR code to a file of contact information. A quick import and you’re already in my contracts.

In terms of being able to leave the information somewhere, cards work well. Attaching to a project portfolio, handing to someone so they can pass it on, leaving as a support contract after a project is complete, etc.

I’ve been don’t similar and it’s so worth the setup time. I through a few helpers together to track who in the house is doing laundry and getting notifications, and that’s been fantastic. I also made helpers to track the status as running or not, which felt better than displaying the wattage.

At one time I worked a block from home, but frequently needed to drive around town, so I would drive into the office. At the same time I was trying to drink more water and was using the propylene-glycol additive Mio for flavor. This has a… loosening effect in sufficient doses.

So, in the one block drive between work and home on a lunch break, I gambled and lost. Skipped lunch and showered instead.

I like the idea of this. Perhaps not on a laptop, but small hexagon badges that show some sort is relation to something. Favorite media, projects, software you’re good with, coding languages you a comfortable with, etc. A simple snapshot into someone that can be identified easily, what a great conversation starter.

Well my wife still misses me, but her aim is getting better.
