It’s like my university campus removing all ashtrays to stop people from smoking.

There will be no end of the term. Fascism doesn’t just step aside when it’s term ends.

I think the existing telecoms tied them up in mountains of legal bullshit.

It’s kind of cheating, but [Popplagið] by Sigur Rós. I’d argue that the vocals in it are instrumental, since they’re in a made-up language consisting of gibberish words.

Unless you’re redlining your systems 24/7, the load really shouldn’t be that bad.

My first gen i7 would still be going strong if the mobo hadn’t started dying. Especially running Linux.

Do you have any statistics regarding how likely a water eruption is? Because I microwaved water daily for nearly a decade without issue.

The turnstile removes most of the risk because super heating is a lot more difficult with moving water. Plus, most glasses aren’t perfectly smooth and have plenty of imperfections to provide nucleation points.

I think explosions were more common with microwaves that don’t have turnstiles. The movement of the water helps prevent super heating to that point.

It’s because the microwave gets the water a bit hotter than boiling. Just give it like 15 seconds and it shouldn’t foam.

While I own one, it’s another appliance that takes up space.

But boiling a tea bag is wrong no matter what your heat source is.

You know you can wait like 15 seconds before opening the microwave and putting something in, right? Even with my electric kettle I give it a few seconds before doing anything.

I’m not sure why the hate for microwaves exist. It’s literally just another method for making water move fast. It has absolutely no impact on the final product, as hot water is hot water no matter the heat source.

There is a hat for the raspberry pi that does local voice recognition that you can use with Rhasspy or another setup.

But, I haven’t really messed with it since they started rolling out voice recognition within HA. My plans for a HAL9000 system are on pause until I finish my microchip pet feeding enclosures project.

Yeah, the smaller bottle uses about 50% less volume per load.

For sure. I’d volunteer to be the first person on Venus knowing it would be a death sentence.

Yeah, ODROID partnered with them to create an off the shelf product. It’s pretty pricy, though, but honestly you could run it on a pi 3b+ for pretty cheap.

Sounds like you should check out Homeassistant.

We have a very active king snake, and they’re super interesting to watch move around

I hope it is for their sake. Some guy just got 10 years for a script he left that caused an outage.
