If this bothers you, you can short an amount equivalent to your index fund’s holding. But you’d have to track and maintain parity against the proportional allocation of the index fund as Tesla’s market cap changed and you invested more into the index.

I gave up on cute or clever names a while ago; now I go with “storage0”, “router0”, “wap00”, “vmhost0”. Always with a numeric suffix because there will be a -1, -2 some day.

Zigbee or Zwave temperature/humidity sensors are common. Add a 3-circuit relay box and you can simulate the behavior of pretty much any thermostat with a few rules.

HA or any other system that can toggle outputs based on sensor thresholds would work just fine.

there are some subtleties with real HVAC thermostats, like running your AC compressor at least five minutes and ensuring that it stays off for at least 5 minutes when it’s turned off.

Both my Google and At&t gigabit fiber plans have been symmetric and post about 850-900mbit both ways.

Cable (DOCSIS) customers will always have lower UL because of the limited shared upload channel compared to multiple bonded download channels.

ADSL customers are in a similar situation, with the modems configured to allocate 90% of the channel to downstream (which makes sense for the vast majority of users).

Cellular customers will always have lower UL because of handset power/antenna limitations and transmit power ranging.

Do you know what the “Nuclear Football” is? Go check it out

there’s this bizarre contingent of very vocal users who go nuts, pushing back against any actually achievable non right wing stance, and go on and on about how “liberals“ are evil and not “left”. I believe they are plants who’ve been given the job of dividing the left.

weird how it’s resulted in a higher standard of living for more people than literally any other economic system

very creative thinking, Please write more

be aware that most fridges have a defrost heater that runs perhaps daily to melt the ice off of the coils in the freezer. You’ll need to measure the power consumption with this heater on to know the peak power draw.

under 200 W sounds correct for the compressor

Never good to intentionally pollute.

I came to the opposite conclusion after living in Atlanta for a few years.

My experience was that Atlanta drivers are very accustomed to high traffic, so will do things like drive closely packed af 85mph on the freeway, assertively take advantage of gaps or entry opportunities, and not wait around for you to turn and will swerve around you.

But they have the experience to do it fairly adeptly, and once you get used to it, there is very little friction outside of congestion. People use signals, anticipate movements and coordinate to ensure flow, and seem to generally get the “game theory” aspect of making traffic work better.

They also aren’t assholes like in the northeast - if you put your blinker on they’ll let you into the fast lane, instead of speeding up to block you. There’s very little honking or aggressive behavior. I’ve rarely witnessed road rage.

Of course some people suck, but it’s a minority.

are these packaged thermometer devices, such as the DS18B20, or a bare thermistor bead?

If it’s just a bead, you probably need to calibrate them.

And O-circumflex “ô” in French indicates an elided “s”. hô = hos

Usenet or Fidonet would be a more apt comparison

faze, not phase

vinyls

FYI it’s called a “record”, or music could be “on vinyl”. They were never referred to as “vinyls”.

Also VCRs were never called “VHS’s”

how about “I appreciate you waiting”

you have to go all the way down below the dirt to prep a site for residential units. With a toilet, shower, and sink per unit, the density of sewer and water plumbing is much higher than commercial. Fire codes also demand egress points (a.k.a. windows) for every bedroom - hard to do Inside a big box retail space.
