From New England but I lived in Texas for awhile in the early 2000s and to me Tex-Mex is Mexican food made by gringos for gringos and Mexican restaurants were Meixcan food made by Abuelas.

I really don’t understand the esp32 Lora radios, they use so much power they’re useless for anything battery powered. I only use one as my home gateway since it has WiFi and I keep it plugged in. It hops through my low power tree node as a proxy.

Live in MA and pay a nanny about $55k a year. Its brutal and pushing our finances to their limits but we tell ourselves its temporary pain (2 years) to ensure the long term wellness of our child.

Faux feudal lord

That was my first thought, dude looked coked up…

Something I do which I’ve come to find is unusual is a Mexican-ish side dish. Soak and cook black beans. Then cook some onions in another pot, when soft add some cumin seeds and bloom then, deglaze with tequila, add the black beans and orange juice. Smash some of the beans to make it thicker. Cover and simmer for an hour. Its a magnificent side.

Dont be so rigid in your perspective. First off, when you are towing anything big your range always gets cut in half, it just matters more for electric. Still, my next vehicle will be the electric 150. I have solar panels for free electricity, the truck can also work as a whole house backup power station. It can plow, it can tow well for most of what I need to do, I can commute to work on solar and my whole family fits in it. Its a great truck, its not for everyone but it most certainly has its place.

I was an American large T-shirt for most my life but for the last 10 years I have to get a medium. Americans are just getting too fat and companies dont want to upset them.

All fair points, assuming you write all your code yourself. But WiFi is still a pig even with optimization, coin cell is impossible which is what he/she asked to use.

If you want this to be powered by a coincell battery or any battery you need to figure out a power budget and pick a wireless protocol. WiFi is incredibly power hungry and won’t happen with a battery unless you like charging it every few days. If you are willing to make it a powered setup it will open many options otherwise youre stuck with zwave, ZigBee, BLE and LoRA. If you want to mix this project with other fun stuff like LoRa/meshtastic look into these. They snap into a main board and you can add a temp and humidity sensor and collect the data over BLE, add a screen and communicate over LoRa for miles. I can get these to run on a 18650 battery for about 3 weeks.

Esp32 will demolish a full sized battery, never mind a coincell.

Sigh. 20 years ago. Thanks for that…

Greek American’s take: from left to right it gets more progressive, pointing out that even progressive Americans are still conservative in Scandinavia.

My install is bare metal, all SSD, redis and php-fpm optimization and I’m extremely happy with the performance. Also use transcoding from an Intel a380 and use Memories for the whole family. Works snappy and flawless. You need to tweak the php settings.

“I’ve amassed all this wealth and now that I’m retiring I no longer want to fund the system responsible for my success. Also, fuck welfare. But not Medicare. Dont you care touch my Medicare.”

Rabbits are popular in Greece for this reason. My grandmother always made Stifado with rabbit. Its wonderful.

Everyone is over thinking the hell out of this. Almost all thermostats use a cheap NTC resistor, just change the resistance so the hardware thinks its at the whacky temperature. Or you could figure out the bias voltage the system uses through the NTC then apply your own external voltage to trick the system.

I bailed on rocketchat a few years ago for Mattermost and never looked back. Rocketchats update cycle was insane, sometimes two releases in a week but often several a month. A few pdates required full database dumps and manual tweaking. It just wasn’t for me.

Why can’t I prep all the things? I have bullets, beans and bytes, oh my.

Way better to use your old junk. I like that youre make your own home battery, ive considered it. I have solar installed and would love to not consume grid power at night. I’m thinking of installing a bank of lead acid batteries under my ground mount solar that would dump power into my home at night.
