  • that make

    that made.

    Our foray into automation is:

    • meross light bulbs about 50%
    • maybe 4 amazon echo flex

    We like that we can turn off the lights, dim them or change colour, with a request. But beyond power blinds and tile tracking and dogs and cat, our eventual switch is gonna be shallow.

    I need a replacement for the Echo Flex units that’ll work with HAss – voice interaction, music and calls, etc. I’d like to AnyLocate the cats’ Tiles and show where they are in the house. We run airlock protocol for the patio access to ensure that cats never get out, but confirming they’re not hiding under the bed would really reduce the anxiety around that.














  • I mean, I get it. Anarchy looks so great sometimes. But I like roads and schools and hospitals and firemen; and we need to.elect someone who ensure those persist.

    And then it’s down to choosing the least-worst bunch to do that. And that’s how it’s been for decades.

    So, ask yourself: is changing out this regime and losing a bit of healthcare and a bit of infrastructure and a bit of other things that make life livable here, is that a reasonable exchange?

    If you say yes, I respect you. If you say no, I respect you. But we can’t vote single-issue: we have a choice between leadership packages, and we need to evaluate them as a whole. The yanks lost their election by voting single-issue, and ended up allowing the worst choice ever to win.

    So vote carefully.







  • I’m starting to think that Paramount. Like every entity Mr Trump has touched, really just wants to get through the next 3.5 years without ageing too much nor going bankrupt.

    TV doesn’t do much actual news, now, what with the pursuit of cheap eyeballs and ratings, so I can predict they’ll do whatever the hell Mr Trump wants just to be done with him , like every divorce litigant ever: “just tell me what has to happen for you to go away.”

    But I’d LOVE to see them stipulate either X 30-min spots are the entirety of the settlement … or CBS gets to put out a completely alt-factual spot read completely seriously by an anchor who looks like the joker and another guy in a cheesy horse mascot costume.
