  • My kids screamed his head off two days ago. There’s ants in the house. I’m like yeah whatever. I go to check it out. There were thousands of ants in the house. They came in through a little spot near the garage went all the way down one wall along another wall straight through the kitchen under the fridge to a single crunchy snack thing that fell onto the floor.

    I’m not too worried about this fly or two or an and or two and I leave spiders alone If they’ve picked a nice quiet corner. But I can’t have thousands of ants in my kitchen.

    This is the around the long way method, but it’ll start you on a crippling hobby to instrument your entire life.

    Raspberry Pi home assistant zigbee USB zigbee water sensor.

    you could stop here at notifications.

    or

    Descend into madness, put a small ac submersible pump into your dehumidifier tray with a smart outlet. When the sensor trips full, have it run the submersible pump for x minutes.



  • We report excessive emissions of toxic metallic elements in aerosols from flavored and “clear” versions of three popular products (Esco Bar, Flum Pebble, and ELF Bar), orders of magnitude higher in concentration than traditional cigarettes and other e-cigarettes.

    So they tested more than three but found these for three in particular had problems.

    They also don’t compare cancer risks to the rest of the tars versus heavy metal this is metal vs metal.



  • Some of the jokes ARE targeted at adults. For the writers are perfectly aware that people like you will be watching it with little kids, at least on occasion. Throwing an occasional bone to an adult may be the difference between the child getting to watch the show and the adult ushering them off to something else.

    As far as the who gets to be sentient and who doesn’t question: there’s probably not that much thought put into it. The writers sit around and spitball ideas at each other. They make a list of things that would be engaging for kids yet not too expensive to animate and not too long or complicated too make them lose interest. Someone probably said what about a trip to the zoo. When it came time to do the one for the zoo they said what animal should be in the zoo. What things interest children? Penguins, what do kids see them do with the penguins well they feed them. So now you need non-sentient penguins and non-sentient fish. I’m fairly certain they’re just trying to make it up as they go along and make sure they don’t alienate kids or parents too badly.


  • Not OP, and I don’t particularly hate PHP but I certainly understand why everyone else does. It had a ton of horrible issues that didn’t get fixed until 8. Just really awful stuff like a23+n7=30 , inconsistent syntax, It’s just had a lot of holes over the years. Post perl, It had the next greatest number of plugins and was reasonably rapid so it took off with the inexperienced crowd, But we ended up with a lot of code written by a lot of inexperienced people and a lot of best practices were eschewed. Most of the big software names that run PHP have had a constant stream of really bad vulnerabilities, more so than a lot of other languages. (WordPress, PHPBB, vbulletin, a million horribly written WordPress plugins)

    Personally, in a pinch I’ll still do something in PHP. It’s so incredibly rapid and gives you marginally decent debug right out of the gate with nothing installed.


  • All her food comes from chewy and I’ve tried this.

    You know we should try auto order.

    Orders food

    Comes in just fine, But we’ve misguessed on the reorder date.

    We’ll just single order a second bag so that we’ve got one in stock. It’s kind of ridiculous to have 68 lb of dog food around but it won’t go bad that soon.

    Single bag comes in, 3 days later reorder bag comes in…

    Dog: btw I hate this dog food and I’m not eating it anymore

    O.O

    Add some crumbles in: nope

    Add some wet food in: nope

    Gravy, chicken, start doing food theater.

    Dog: The dry food is now poison

    In the middle of trying to solve this we get another reorder.

    Chewy lets us cancel and donate that bag to the local animal shelter.

    We change over from a duck version to a salmon version, dogs been eating it fine now for 2 years.

    I love chewy to death but between our own incompetence and our dogs fickle eating habits…

    I’ve started baking chicken thighs from Costco. $1.79 a pound, They are easy to debone and a $20 package fills four tall deli containers. The dry food is now a condiment for teeth health. And if it runs out she can Make it just fine on meat for a couple of days.
