Even an overripe banana is better than most things people might reach for instead. Don't stress about banana ripeness - pass on the cookie and eat whatever banana you like.

I don't think this is that unpopular. But it's probably better to be radically honest with yourself. Notice and accept your flaws, yes, but also notice and accept your value and strengths. And if some of your flaws are reasonable to put some work into then you may wish to choose to do that. For example - I'm trying to be more kind this month.

Looks cozy! If you'll forgive a bit of unsolicited advice: use tacks instead of tape where possible. Tacks leave behind a tiny hole that can easily be completely erased with a tiny bit of touch up paint whereas tape can pull off large sections of paint and really mess up the sheetrock when removed.

Love the laptop stickers!

Ironically AI would probably work ok here whereas excel is using a human-designed pattern matching heuristic that apparently either has a bug or didn't take into account your locale properly. I say that as someone with a relatively negative opinion of ai

This is a task ai would do well at whereas most of the Excel workflow it would not.

It's actually because January is also misspelled. Or possibly because Excel's language/region isn't set up right (I see your month abbreviations aren't us-eng... If excel is in us-eng it likely isn't going to identify them properly.

Many houseplants you buy from the hardware store or similar have been terribly mistreated by the store and transport process so they'll show signs of stress within days of bringing them home usually.

New plant owners often assume they're doing something wrong, but you have to remember the plant just went through some major trauma so it's going to have issues for a little bit.

Just water and care for it as prescribed and it'll usually get better eventually.

Bonus tip: buy a plant from a locally nursery and it'll likely be healthy when you get it :)

If this was real they'd definitely say 0 fat, 0 sodium, 0 sugar. Companies are allowed to round down under a certain amount un the US

Paprika. To see the parade for the first time again... Wow.

 

Figured you guys might enjoy my little winter project. I have an always-on server + my gaming PC in my office set up with xmrig. I have electric baseboard heaters in my apartment (PNW, USA) so as long as I'm not heating my office past my normal setpoint the electricity is essentially free.

How I set this up:

  • ESP32 flashed with ESPHome + MCP9808 temperature sensor takes a reading of the ambient temperature every minute and sends it to homeassistant
  • Homeassistant feeds that temperature (as well as a controllable setpoint) to a python script
  • Python runs a PID controller based on the room temp and setpoint
  • I use the XMRIG http API to pause/resume and dynamically control the number of threads used for mining

Here's the result: image

Keeping my room +/- 0.5 degrees from the setpoint while mining

If you guys are interested I can post more details. I've had my baseboards off for over a month now with outside temps below freezing.

 

I feel like I used to see a lot of women with super long nails struggling to use their touchscreen phones. I'm sure at least some of them have chosen slightly shorter nails to make it easier.
