Yeah, not worth it in most cases, but when things line up, it is the best. I've built 3 houses and got a bid on ground source heat for each one. I finally pulled the trigger on the 3rd house because we: 1) Moved where it was quite a bi

I drive by an old Scout that just sits there and wish I had time to update it. It could be a fin project.

Multi region AWS is the flavor of the quarter or half - for projects that were not terra formed.

Another copy/paste reason - I can't count the number of times I've written up something for work on my own google account by mistake, then paste it into a new doc on the work account so I can share it.

I'm in Northwest Montana. My ground source heat pump doesn't struggle until the highs outside are -20F (actual, not wind-chill). I have the backup heat strip, but the breaker is off. I don't know when it would turn on, I just

I feel lucky. Rather than cut workers because AI is making our jobs easier and faster, we are just doing more work, more projects that we wouldn't have had the bandwidth to do. I'm solo on something we we would have assigned a sma

I'm sick of Cloudflare making me prove I'm not a bot - just because I run Ubuntu. I have a static IP. I visit my bank website regularly, can they not figure out that I'm legit? No, they can not. Can't wait for them to ge

Exactly this. Is my Awair Element perfectly accurate? No, but VOC at 200 or less when the windows have been open (on a good air day) looks very different than 3,000 when we finish cooking something on the stove. Maybe my numbers should be 1

I've been using the Awair Element for years. It helped me decide to install an air exchanger an to swap the gas range with induction. Bonus, it has a local API for pulling data. I have a purple air sensor outside. One day I'll get

Jury is still out on my new lightweight tent vs my 34 year old Eureka that still gets used when weight doesn't matter. My Big Agnes is treated as if it is tissue paper where the Eureka somehow survived containing teens wrestling inside

When I was in school I had to do some stuff with prolog. I got my wife interested enough that she added some rooms and items to a game like this. Good times!

When traveling by vehicle (pickup truck for me) I've thrown in a 5 gallon cooler of water from home. It was so nice to want to drink water because it was my own good well water that tastes like I'm used to. When I had to fly to NY

I haven't used TCL in a few decades and I don't miss it, but that is likely due to running it on storyserver. Worst web platform ever.

It might be awhile before I can touch grass. There is quite a bit of snow on the ground!

Any excavator beats a shovel! I'm just a homeowner with a decent size piece of land and lots of trees. The ground is glacial till/drumlin, so rocks vary from gravel, to bowling balls and table size boulders. I have a 7,000 lb exca

Yes, insulation works both ways. My garage is unheated and insulated. If I go out there to work on something in the winter I always compare the temperature outside. On a sunny day it might be pleasant outside and freezing in my garage - so

I've built three houses in the USA. I don't use conduit everywhere, but have always installed some in places where I think I might want something in the future. I've never regretted it. Most useful was from my attic (not liva

"It's also why houses typically don't have attics anymore." As someone who framed houses as a job and designed and built three of my own I disagree with your take on attics. It is common for houses not to have an attic b

I've been eyeing the R6 mark ii, which is u understand correctly will connect to a computer and present itself as a video device so you don't need any additional software. I only run Linux, so that sounds great! I haven't pul

I'm in the USA, but run Linux. I am getting tired of proving I'm not a bot. I'm on a static IP and they still can't figure out that I'm not a bot.

That is kinda crazy to think about. I see the milky way and a lot of trees where I'm at. How big does the tree have to be to be counted as a tree? In spring we had a carpet of Douglas fir trees starting. I could put my hand down and co

Only somewhat related, but I was just complaining about search in Gmail. I normally use Thunderbird and didn't have it, so I used the web. Basic searches on the subject were so bad! I even put quotes around it and tried all of my Googl

Yeah, location matters a ton. I have 2 Awair Elements and we ran them in different places until we knew what "normal" looked like, then move them on. Because of what I saw in my house we switched from a gas stove/oven to elec

I was really hoping that this was about Claude remembering that it has already crawled every page we have and downloaded every image many times over!

We recently had a bot from Taiwan downloading all of our images, over and over and over - similar to the author. By the time we noticed they had downloaded them many times over and showed no signs of stopping! Bots these days are our of con

Things have definitely gotten better. I remember the painful years. My most recent Ubuntu install on a new laptop was about 3 years ago. As someone who has used Linux as the daily driver for more than a decade (and dual booted as a second O

I really loved my Series 5. That keyboard was awesome! I still have it, but the ribbon cable is broken. I'd take a computer with a color screen, Bluetooth, running Linux and that keyboard - it could be fun for ham radio stuff.

I used turtle in middle school. I think that was my first experience where I got to tell a computer what to do and make something. We had a very limited amount of time in the lab, but I loved every bit if it!

Yes, what is kinda fun is I can tell what time my kids are out of bed (really it if their room) just by the changes in co2. Everyone was gone today at the same time (rare with WFH and home school). I can see within about a minute when we ar

Ha, if only it were that sensitize. I have an air exchanger, so I don't think the plants will change it enough to matter. I expect that normal air infiltration would cycle more air than plants.
