I want to piggyback on this: canon is super important, but if it isn't published or in the pipeline, it isn't canon.

I love Brandon Sanderson books, but I hated reading the authors notes for Warbreaker. A char does something inexplicable in the book and it is explained by a "fun fact" about their lives that was never written anywhere and the reader could never have known and it wasnt even relevant. It is deus ex machina. It's all made up, I know, but this is like, double made up. Fan fiction isn't canon even of the author comes up with it until and unless it's relevant and published.

It is not canon that rand al'thor puts baked beans in his shoes on cold days to warm up. It's just shit you made up lol.

There ARE two "R"s in strawberry.

There's also a third one, but you can't have three without having two.

It is basically always worth having the conversation. My gripe is with people who think the news should just be happier or who check out and want a pat on the back for it.

It is everyone's job to be informed. As fully as is reasonably possible. At least that's my perspective.

The physical button on the 4 is great. If I recall correctly, the issue with the 4 was the plastic for the clasps for attaching the bands. Mine broke in such a way that I couldn't get a band back on it.

Im sure you have sources right? Would you share them so we can all spread the word?

Ah dammit. I replied to the wrong comment, sorry.

I was looking for the one that says men mostly love hitting girls for sexual reasons and girls have a much higher pain tolerance. Or something to that tune.

I have been using the Kasa (TP-Link) branded smart switches around my house, but now that I have a few third reality zigbee sensors for my doors and so on, I am seeing the value of using more outlets/switches that act as zigbee repeaters. Do any of you have pretty reasonable (and cheapish) smart light switches or outlets I can invest in? The Amazon offerings are in the $50 each one which is pretty steep, though I guess I could just do one each room and do the rest with Kasa stuff.

I would like to expand the zigbee mesh network so I can use the devices where I actually want them without using smart outlet devices plugged into real outlets all over the place. If there was something that was $20 or less each item that would be super excellent. The wife and I plan to move in the not too distant future and I'd like to replace the "in the wall" stuff so that HA works throughout the house and I don't have plugs / dongles / wall warts all over the place.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

 

Really enjoying nvim-dap-ui lately, but I always have to adjust the sizes of the windows. The docs have left me high and dry so far, but maybe one of you have a good solution for a consistent layout when you first attach to a file?

 

I saw a post of the guy doing NFC to get various disney+ and Netflix shows. I've installed an integration with ADB... and have no idea how to proceed. Any of you have yaml snippets I can steal to that end?

I really want to be able to turn on the lights, turn on the TV, and start cocomelon for my daughter on Netflix in the basement as a one stop script, but I apparently am not smart enough.

The other guy link is in Reddit so I'm not going to link it but it is really easy to find on Google: an NFC card system for Netflix.

Thanks!
