I printed an enclosure for a few sensors that fit into a 1 gang slot (I basically copied the dimensions of a TP-Link switch), including the AC/DC converter. The thing is only drawing a watt or two, so I’m not super concerned about it shorting out. But, I probably need to use a UL certified power supply.

But, that particular project is tabled until I can finish converting an old oven into a heated build chamber to print with fire resistant polycarbonate.

Just take the extra step and buy a 3D printer and some ESP chips to make your own! I’m working on a full HAL9000 setup for my house.

How else am I going to control the music that’s playing on the vent fan speaker?

I bring my phone into the shower, but it’s for music control.

Because the IRS says so? Did you not read the quoted passage?

An employee can also use Form W-4 to tell you not to withhold any federal income tax. To qualify for this exempt status, the employee must have had no tax liability for the previous year and must expect to have no tax liability for the current year.

I’m not sure why you thought I was making this up.

Yes, but you have to have had none the previous year to claim the tax exempt status that lets you avoid any withholding.

You can only do that if you had no tax liability the previous year. If you try, your employer will likely kick it back for you to fix, or the IRS will send them a letter telling them to fix it.

It doesn’t take anywhere close to 90%. Disney lost 1.3% of their subscribers before reversing their decision on Kimmel.

The key is getting media attention that survives one 24h cycle.

Unironically, touching grass is how you can do this.

Going camping for several days without screen time can help reset your circadian rhythm to normal.

The key factor is that only the homophobes experienced arousal when shown gay porn.

Also, a small sample size doesn’t instantly invalidate a study.

No, my half assed start to a horror trilogy was lost forever when I got the floppy too close to a magnet.

I think mine is partially because the vision in my right eye is worse than my left, because I shoot left handed too (clay pigeons)

Swinging with your left doesn’t necessarily mean you’re left handed.

I’m right handed, but I play sports like baseball and golf left handed.

Those highways are often very congested too. It can take like 2 hours just to drive through Houston, even using the loops/beltways

You’re assuming no traffic in major cities. I’ve gone from close to the Louisiana border to new Mexico and it took about 16 hours.

Yeah, people are fucking stupid. I empirically proved they’d never get a lower price, but they passed because they thought the capitalism knew more than me.

Guess what? Those fuckers didn’t get to deep fry a turkey because they’re stupid. Which I guess is a net positive for turkeys

I’d call it fraud myself. But retailers have been doing this shit for forever. But the thing is that people love this shit.

JCPenny almost went under when they stopped deceptive pricing tactics like 20 years ago and just offered a really low price.

Shit, I worked at a major sports and outdoors retailer and we had tags that said “Everyday Low Price.” Items tagged with that would never go on sale because they were loss leaders (just barely above wholesale to get people to buy overpriced accessories).

I had customers with the items in their cart ask me if it was on sale, I told them it was the lowest price they were going to find and even price checked other retailers whose sale price was higher than ours, and they put it back every time.

People are really fucking stupid.

Hmm, I wonder if I can use this on my Synology to manage things until I get around to finishing my proxmox setup.
