I was thinking about posting this same thing last night...

Hell, I might could sell him one of my P1S. I want to upgrade one to an X2D
Pretty sure they are recreating this and its perfect

Thats a shitty chart. Right Y axis should be 0-100 scale. But then it would be as provocative.

Do any of you have one of those vacuum cleaners for your pool that you don’t have to hook up to a hose?


I've had this one for a year. No complaints, works well enough.

Magnesium glycinate before bed time.

A lot depends on your routine, though. Any caffeine in the afternoon? when are you administering the test?

I say that because the last time I saw my cardiologist for a checkup post cardioversion, he poo-pooed the idea of creatine being beneficial. He said that it breaks down too rapidly after ingestion to be of any use and suggested BCAAs instead. FWIW, he raced MTBs at one time and still may.


I'd find a new doctor for healthy living consultations. I'm not going to my cardiologist for fitness advice.
Maybe could set up a notification that allows you to press a button to trigger the song/lights to avoid spoilers.

We have a bell hanging outside our door, and my girls like to ring the bell when we score. I want to set up a sensor that triggers the fight song and lights when they ring the bell.
Some people have used teamtracker in HACS to trigger automations based on scoring, etc. but it's not likely going to be perfectly in time with the game on tv.
HA is not great for light shows. It can trigger something you have set up on an associated device but isn't really great for quick changes, etc. You would want ina light show.

I use HA to trigger Sound-reactive WLED devices or XLights shows.

I don't use govee, but if it natively reacts to sound you should be able to trigger a scene that starts the lights and music you want.
I buy them refurbished on Amazon, usually a generation or 2 older. I currently have a watch 6 and watch 6 classic for which I paid $120 each last year. Both still work perfectly.

The only issue with them is bloatware, but its easy enough to ignore/move out of sight.

How far do y'all think we are away from a printer that just has white/black/R/G/B pla and can mix/melt an infinite number of colors?


There is a kickstarter for something like that. Only $10k.

Can anyone give me an idea of what it costs to actually actively create things consistently? I don’t know anything about these things.


Filament is super cheap and the good printers require minimal maintenance. A penny to a couple bucks (for huge items) per print. If you get into fancy filament and huge models, that cost will go up, of course.

That's badass. Did you post the model anywhere?
My advice: Spend the extra money and get the p2s.

I have 2 P1S (and an old ender 3 in parts). I've been printing pretty steadily since 2020ish. I plan to sell one of the P1S soon and get an H2C.

Garage organization, drawer systems, enclosures for low voltage electronics, LED channel, Mardi gras throws, parts for the pool, beach toys/accessories, replacement parts and accessories for chairs, cars, bikes, etc.

Not too mention all the fidget tchotchkes and decorations for holidays.

re: Any way to tweak Google algorhythms?

Have you tried AI search engines like perplexity? I like them for comparing multiple companies or products since it will pull reviews and data from a crapton of sources. Also, perplexity includes links to the data source so you can verify or dig deeper on your own.
This sounds very similar to me at this time last year.

Regarding muskuloskeletal... Have they mentioned costochondritis? This was my eventual diagnosis along high blood pressure.

Exactly!!!

And then who gets cut in the RIF? low level mangement and front-line workers. I've never seen anyone above "manager" let go, and they sure as shite aren't going to stop contstruction on anything.
