I have no feedback that hasn't already been mentioned elsewhere. I just want to say that I love this. Your son is developing a passion for programming very similar to how I did so at his age. Seeing it happen as an adult is fascinating

Do you know of anywhere I could learn more about this? Googling "old sparky" just yields articles about electric chairs, even when including keywords such as "rheostat" and "theatre"

I've been wondering about things like this for a while. I run hot and sleep much better in cold temperatures (looking forward to cold winter nights). A weighted blanket helps, but I'll definitely look into the chili pad and bed je

In case anyone else was wondering why in the world anyone needs a smart mattress; it has both heating and cooling capability, as well as vibration (for alarms). Presumably it is programmable via an app and, of course, collects usage data. S

This is an interesting explanation, but wouldn't `I` influence `T` rather than the other way around? Since the type of ice cream determines the amount of time taken in the store.
