Fuck, why would anyone throw away clothes to not do laundry??
Goddamn, just be a lazy ass like me and throw the socks in a drawer and play Where's Waldo every time you need a pair.
Heh, the one time (or that series of times) I got "caught pirating" was at university, and the IT dept was super chill about it. They "didn't know what I was doing", but we're concerned about my data usage (managed a couple TBs in a month in the mid 00s) and they slapped my hands for it. Was really fun going 'I must have gotten a virus' 5-6 times in a couple months as I dialed in the throttle speeds to a level they were chill with.
Amazing how the tech students always struggled with viruses 🤔
Capacitive touch controls around anything with the potential to generate steam or condensation is an awful idea. At best they just don't work with damp fingers, at worst the buttons short or randomly activate because of the water that builds up.
Switchbot (hardware) and home assistant (controlling server) might fit your needs. It still would require an app, but home assistant is self hosted and is a fantastic automation platform. It won't be as smooth as an all in one setup, but I find the tinkering is half the fun.
I've installed so many hardware items that are either "appless" and are controlled by home assistant or home assistant is compatible and replaced the app. Absolutely worth it IMO. I have been able to make a full self hosted/controlled and offline functional smart house.
Don't threaten me with a good time!
Yeah, but 'line go up' is just as compelling to those with lines already high up.
ALL ~~LIVES MATTER~~ PEOPLE ARE AWESOME
How is grandparents helping raise your kid an "unadvertised feature of marrying an Indian woman"? I thought that was called "having a loving family", so I guess I can see why that's an "unadvertised feature", but of marrying into a family that isn't full of shit bags, not of a particular race.
I spend more time ripping thistles than anything, but at least I don't have to water them!
On a serious note, I am working on overseeding clover in half of my yard, and it's worked well in patches so far. Will probably take a couple seasons to get full results, just time consuming. Almost as much as my war against those goddamned thistles.
Omfg, one of my banks did this to me and was infuriating. I was able to call in to fix it and made a bug report, but goddamn, what idiot silently truncates the sign up password but not also the login form?!?
No crabbing here. My kid is entering school and I got my house a couple years ago, but anyone going through that needs the help. It's a shit process in either case.
