I agree. Ukraine did a great job in preparing for an inevitable invasion. Zelensky is the reason the preparations succeeded.

You have to know how to operate the oven to reheat store bought pie. Generative LLMs are machines like ovens, and turning the knobs is not creativity. Not operating the oven correctly gets you Sharon Weiss results.

I was buying from ebay because I didn’t want to support Amazon. Now what?

Russia and Iran stirred some shit up in Israel knowing how predictable the global response would be. Suddenly out of ‘nowhere’ Hamas has North Korean weapons and state level intelligence information.

Elon Musk is a pro-Russian muppet.

100% Everything going on right now is to diminish focus and support for Ukraine.

I’m just some guy who can maybe read minds?

I don’t know about the microwave. Heat actually breaks the bond for these kinds of adhesives, so if it isn’t poisonous, it probably wouldn’t work well for that anyway.

Super glue.

Cyanocrylate adhesives were accidently discovered in WW2 while trying to develop a clear plastic. Later Eastman-Kodak held the patent and then sold it to Loctite on the 1960s.

Loctite 404 is so much better than anything else available on the market. It bonds better, it’s stronger, it lasts longer and the bottle applicator is more controlled and easier to use. If you want it to last years, you can actually store in in the refrigerator when not being used.

You can definitely have all the gear and not need it. I’ve set mine up a little at a time to do specific tasks. Some examples:

Alert me if my side gate is unlocked at night, because that is the access to my business.

Check if there is water in the chicken house reservoir, as that means the chickens have dropped a pebble in the valve again.

Anything new I buy has the ability to directly talk to homeassistant without a third party. Zigbee, zwave, ip. If its cloud it can fuck right off, I don’t need it.

Many brand names are using these protocols to talk to their bullshit hubs that then send your data out of your network. I’ve got a hodgepodge of stuff like samsung sensors, Ikea switches, ip cameras and all kinds of stuff.

It isn’t even that hard to set them up. HA can detect most devices on the network and recognise them.

Nearly 320K in the normalest units.
