Nifty! I built something similar for my university graduation project. Did a PCB, ESP8266 based as well. Temperature, humidity, sound, vibration, airborne particulate sensor, and some other stuff.

Wrapped a server up in docker for receiving the data, basic dashboard in JS for minor reactivity in components. Never ended up actually doing it cause I didn’t have a consistent host, but maybe I should spin it up again now that I have a home server.

Cool project, looks neat! Anything you were caught off guard by when doing this?

Right?

Like I’m not out here claiming Kamala was a particularly exciting candidate, but it’s not like this was remotely a difficult choice to make. This is absolutely reflective of a fundamentally incompetent electorate.

Even if you wanted to make that argument, 70ish million people actively voted for Trump. He wants to remove fluoride from water. I don’t know what to tell you about those 70 million people lol.

Oh I know, the whole communication space is cooked. I don’t know if it was just bad PR or intentional manipulation but the concrete positive impacts of the Biden admin are so unknown its sad.

Don’t forget the 10 prescription meds Biden negotiated MUCH lower prices for.

But hey, “Biden didn’t do anything”

What’s really funny about Trump winning Latino votes in Florida is that when surveyed, they went Trump for “the economy”. So… my comment stands.

But yes as a Canadian, the results of the US election and the performance of the Democratic party are things I’ll personally need to “look in the mirror” about.

Alternatively, I can appreciate how dumb American voters are, as 70 million of them vote to actively make their lives much worse. <3

The “this is extremely dangerous to our democracy” wasn’t a jab at the Sinclair Media Group’s “this is extremely dangerous to our democracy” campaign some years ago? Which was definitely a media conspiracy to push a narrative.

If that wasn’t a reference and just accidentally the exact phrase, oops. If it was, then the implication that the democratic party’s media machine was manipulating consistent messaging was pretty clear.

Berkshire Hathaway had built up $300B in cash reserves - maybe Warren decided it was time to buy?

Guy making $8/hr: the economy is better now

When multiple people quote somebody’s statement, having each quote say the same thing isn’t a conspiracy…

Eh… I’m sure that’s the case for some people, but a lot of left and right wing people seem to think democracy=my ideas winning. Those people seem to think Trump winning is not reflective of the (very shitty) will of the people.

Yeah uh, I really really hate to say it, but… democracy worked this time. The voice of the people is “Trump please”. Democracy just means you get what most people want, not what the best option is.

But that’s also not Arnold - he’s publicly said that he arrived with like $20 in his pocket but he is not a self made man, he’s a community made man. He’s not a “bootstrap” believer, he’s very vocally against that mentality too.

He’s true old school Republican, where they have some misguided beliefs about national debt but aren’t absolute loons.

E: quick Google gives this https://youtu.be/DOldEbWxgdQ?si=uJ8_CsHzoUBHTbH4

Theres better vids of it, but still - Arnold has been pretty consistently a level headed guy politically, even if he’s not right all the time.

Approval voting is also good. Really any of the alternatives create more representative outcomes.

Not to mention this is essentially the same line of reasoning Repubs keep using to make voting worse for everyone. Can’t give out water in line to vote because you might be “buying votes”, so you gotta wait in line 6 hours in the hot sun if you’re in a poor district.

But hey, totally cool when it’s ol Musky doin it for cash not for health!

If the average case is 20 minutes and you saved 21 minutes doing a less good solution that still worked, you made the right choice.

Wanna make a difference? Get some of these stickers and slap em up everywhere. I’ve still got a few left over to put places.

Go to your city “public opinion” sessions on zoning and highway design. One of our new circumferential highways has the first inverted diamond because some radical urbanists sandbagged the public hearing. Showing up to these things can make a big impact.

Both. 1980s Era civil/traffic engineers in NA were all trained for car=future=build road. Nowadays most traffic engineering/city planning schools teach multimodal transportation as The Way, but decades of car washing our cities has resulted in an almost total collapse of public support for anything except another lane. Luckily, most people sub-30 are aware of this and are slowly becoming politically active. Public opinion will shift slowly over the next decade or two and eventually the traffic engineers will be allowed to do the right thing.

Most of the EU has missed the target GDP spend by a significant margin for decades. The failure to penalize the annexation of Crimea and the EU’s almost wholesale inability to provide material to Ukraine without compromising their own defensive postures can be traced heavily to this funding failure.

Obama’s soft stance on Russia was certainly a large part of our current situation, but Merkel and the overly pacified EU were major contributors as well.

My sisters tongue swells up pretty badly if she has any mustard. Validated it with ground mustard seed. I had never heard of it either before that, but we did some googling and it’s a thing.
