Back in my day we called that Programming by Coincidence.

That's not correct. The expression refers to the shards of broken glass after the Nazis destroyed the windows of Jewish stores and homes; among many other atrocities, like killing over a hundred Jewish people.

Which is why we don't use the expression any more and refer to these events as the November pogroms instead, because that better conveys the scope.

I agree. I recently re-watched the four seasons of Lower Decks after having seen the whole series only once before and thus having forgotten many details and episodes. That Peanut Hamper episode was the only one I skipped immediately as soon as I realised which episode it was. Just awful and boring, both the episode and the character.

Have you checked the air quality in your room during the night? If the CO2 level is too high you will not sleep well and may wake up with headaches or otherwise feeling unwell.

Best to sleep with a window open to ensure some fresh air can get in.

In case you didn't know, Münecat recently uploaded a three-hour video debunking evolutionary psychology: https://youtu.be/31e0RcImReY

I figure the overlap between hbomberguy and münecat viewers in the Venn diagram is basically a circle, so that should help if you have an hbomberguy craving.

I believe it was because it was such a weird and dramatic shift in tone from the regular CAD content, which was not all that great to begin with. You probably had to be there (I wasn't).

Hbomberguy did a video on it that explains it well I think: https://youtu.be/TebCHHCw9rY

This is bewildering. Are you really subject to regulations that forbid you from storing and using rain water as you see fit? Because you must buy water from a third party?

Is there a reason behind this other than capitalism?

But what can it do more easily than an mid 20th century home can do?

One word: Automations. Everything from lights to irrigation, HVAC to surveillance cameras, fishtanks to plant monitoring, managed by a single, extensible open source platform, hosted locally in your own home.

Of course that is not trivial. If you don't see your smart home as a hobby you enjoy putting time and effort into then the smart home scene is not for you, especially not Home Assistant.

Sounds like you are in a fine place with your home, so you are probably not the target audience here.

With plugins you mean add-ons like Z2M, Mosquitto or VSCode Server, right?
