Standing = bad
Water = bad
Hot water = also bad for different reasons
Soap: stingsYeah idgi either. I understand why women make the assumption, because at least they have the showerhead, but I’m surprised to see so much support for the shower wank. Different strokes, I guess.

Great, so you’re already halfway there! You may be right on the temp sensor and the gas detector would probably be spotty too. I was thinking you could glue some magnets to the knobs and use a hall effects sensor nearby to map their position, but that would take some tinkering and I personally haven’t done anything like that.
But you mentioned you already have a camera pointed at it, you could add Frigate to Home Assistant and use object detection to notify you about events such as ‘knob turned’ or ‘panel glowing’ for flame detection or even just have it compare snapshots every x minutes and notify you of any change at all. Then you still always have the camera for visual backup as well.

Definitely don’t have to take anything apart. If you can’t use a smart plug on the outlet, A zigbee temperature sensor mounted above or near the range would do the trick. There’s also methane/gas detectors.
If you’ve never used Home Assistant, it’s super easy to get going and you can automate nearly everything, so getting phone notifications or persistent temp reminders would be a breeze. Let me know if you have questions about that part. I’m by no means an expert, but I’ve been slowly automating everything in my house and it’s been great. - Comment on I rember! 2 weeks ago:
Every confession is a confession too, and they’ve come out and said it multiple times.
- Comment on Coffee ☕ 2 weeks ago:
Maybe someone mentioned this, but I’m sure there’s a million ways to tackle this task through Home Assistant and a cheap sensor. That way you get passive notifications instead of having to actively check.

Been feeling this lately. Not so worried about if my comment in the work chat would be considered weird. They all know I’m weird already, may as well say what my weird little brain wants to say.

I don’t agree that tech companies need to put up walled gardens to protect people from themselves, but ‘what scams’ is insanely disingenuous. Obviously the scams where people, usually elderly, are walked through the process of enabling third party apps so the scammer, posing as a bank or other trusted institution, can then install malicious apps. If you’ve really never heard of that then I think you need to step outside of your bubble a bit more.
- Comment on This is Android's new 'advanced flow' for sideloading apps without verification, includes one-day waiting period 3 weeks ago:
One day wait period to enable installing third party apps. Afterwards no extra wait time or verification.
- Comment on This is Android's new 'advanced flow' for sideloading apps without verification, includes one-day waiting period 3 weeks ago:
Headline is a little misleading. There is a One day waiting period when you enable installing third party applications. After that you can install them indefinitely. It’s to stop active scams. I agree it’s BS, but it’s a lot less BS than I was expecting and what the headline/comments are making it out to be.

I actually haven’t seen the remake/continuation (though I hear it was good and cancelled too soon), but the original with Scott Bakula was a great sci-fi series with a full run. It’s episodic, as all TV was then, so beyond the first and last episodes you can really watch them in any order. I believe the clip is from one of the first few episodes though.

- Comment on The "unhackable" Xbox One has been hacked — and Microsoft can’t patch it 3 weeks ago:
I feel like allowing users to access dev mode played a large part in this as well. Without the option surely it would have been cracked sooner.
Which is a great lesson in and of itself for tech companies willing to listen. - Comment on The "unhackable" Xbox One has been hacked — and Microsoft can’t patch it 3 weeks ago:
I thought it was only the release version of the console that was vulnerable. Was there a breakthrough in the last two days?

I made the mistake of buying 7. “It’s Civ, how bad can it be?” I literally forgot it existed until reading your comment. When I want to play Civ I pull out 6.
- Comment on Which faction you expect to be antagonist in some next Star Trek story? 4 weeks ago:
This is interesting, even without the benevolent AI, though that could be interesting as well. But what happens when The Federation runs into essentially another Federation? Do they combine and double their knowledge and territory or do they clash over differing ideals? There’s no way humans were the first species to say “hey, let’s work together,” but if they ran into, say, space capitalists, we could wind up being the USSR of a new galactic Cold War.

Which of your instincts was to read my reply before responding because I don’t see how anything you’ve said is relevant to anything I’ve said.
- Comment on the two party system is just one big party 5 weeks ago:
What is going on here? Can’t be an LLM because at least the LLMs responses are based somewhat on what they’re responding to. This reads more like a script. I’m getting deja vu to 2015.

Your skirting of my question and the demonstrably untrue claims you’ve made aside, yeah of course there are Dems that absolutely need to GTFO. Bad faith content like this is what keeps people from bothering to vote those people out.
