I was 75% that... I was just dumb and my parents heard the sink running at the same time and opened the door and confronted me lol.

Looks like Shelly. If so, if you set up home assistant and get Shelly added do you get all the features you want? I would think so.

HA has gotten a lot better in the last year if you haven't used it in a while. I honestly don't feel it's cumbersome. Gone are the days of needing to use YAML code.

I made a solar powered wifi enabled weather station and moisture meter for my garden. The first attempt was my only and it lasted a couple weeks before I noticed the ants liked the heat of the electronics, created a little farm around the box sitting on the ground and then my wife became unhappy about it.

That said I will eventually make another that is elevated from the ground, just haven't gotten to it yet.

Sync was only released within the last week to the public, it's going to take a little more time to finish working out the bugs. I am excited for sync because it was my preferred Reddit app and I'm hopeful it'll be as good here. As for the ads... I use adguard dns and I haven't seen any ads yet... Hopefully that continues. I agree $20 is steep but I thought I read somewhere that was one time payment. Someone else will have to confirm.

Try going to a different culver's? That won't fix the price, but all fast food is expensive now days. Literally just there last night and the custard was perfect.

The most useful profile I use Tasker for is controlling ringer volume at specific times. I always run it on vibrate at home and away from work (I have a watch for important notifications). So if I'm at work and in the office I set the ringer to lowest level 1 so I hear it but it doesn't go off super loud in a meeting or whatever. If I'm at work and out of the office (in the plant or outside on site) the ringer is at full volume. Automatically goes back to vibrate when I leave the property. Next step to this is when I'm on call. I need to hear my phone ring when I'm on call so when my Google calendar event called weekend duty is occuring I have a profile that keeps my phone on vibrate but when a call is incoming it says sets it to the loudest setting before it starts ringing. This prevents me wife and I from hearing notification dings and beeps from daily use.

This is my favorite use for Tasker but I have others that are almost as good. Maybe this sparked a little inspiration for you.

The biggest hurdle that needs to be overcome in my own eyes is how we source the precious metals for the batteries. Look up Lithium and Cobalt mines in Africa. Of course this applies to all lithium batteries (phones and cars being the biggest players).

Don't worry everyone, I'm just an idiot. One would think the ground clamp would go on - but it actually goes on +. You all know that I'm sure but for some machines it's electric positive and others electrode negative. Regardless they even color code it and show you in the manual which I also read a few times. Finally got it though. Maybe this helps someone else.

This is my first post on Lemmy!

I don't know much about a lot of this but what caught my eye was the first sentence saying "Diesel additive" when you're really talking about Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). DEF is not added to diesel fuel in vehicles but is burned in the exhaust process to reduce particulate matter.

Good luck with your experiment!

Sure, I did try npm I stall after cloning to the modules folder per the installation instructions. I did get an error when doing so, which is probably something to post over on the MM forums. I think it has to do with the module not supporting newer versions of something.

I'm really not experienced with raspberry pi but I can copy paste instructions and codes as requested lol.

What if you made a pin switch in combination with the magnetic switch? Any magnet should work, the magnet from the magnet switch can be replaced with any magnet. Maybe you need a stronger one is all?

Definitely being nit-picky, I agree, but I might say that "Diesel Exhaust Fluid" is more "catchy" than "Diesel Additive" but to each their own. If you're looking for accuracy in what appears to be a technical subject, using the correct terminology only gives you more credit. I know nothing about mushroom cultivation but I question your knowledge in it more now knowing you're going to intentionally use false information in the first sentence of your post after being informed.

Because there was another floor for the same business but perhaps the business went under (I'm thinking of Sears around here) and the mall building owners are leasing it to two different businesses.

I second Tasker as the best paid app I've used.

I responded to another user here but I put this together. It appears to be the same cost and probably significantly better? Any thoughts on this or suggestions? Is it overkill? Will it be able to play games for 7+ years? Thank you.

I've been using tasker to manage my ringer profiles for so long I didn't even realize this. When at work (within radius) and connected to the office WiFi the ringer is set to 1 out of 7 level. When out in the manufacturing facility it's disconnected from WiFi and I'm still inside the radius so the ringer goes to 7 out of 7 level. Works like a charm!
