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.

If you have walls, it’s “finished” space and may be taxed higher.

Well damn, today I learned it has a name!

Enable hidden characters, find any odd breaks or empty paragraphs, remove them.

How does a life-threatening situation work? If in about to get hit by a car, does the moment expansion allow me to avoid death or does it instantly use to the second I have left and just kills me faster?

And to answer the main question, I would rather chase new moments than prolong existing ones.

And now you know what’s going to happen, even the break isn’t restful!

Wonder how many years less he would have gotten without it.

Aye, targeting is the best solution. Short-form, easily digestible content? Post it during lunch breaks. Long-form podcast that can be listen to in the background? Saturday morning.
