I do like a fancier coffee from time to time.


One cup at a time usually doesn’t do it for me. I will typically make a 1.5L French press in the morning (for about 3 mugs worth). One gets drunk immediately and the other two go in a vacuum flask for later in the day.


Yes! I’m useless without coffee :) I feel its effects within 30 minutes or drinking a cup. Neither prescribed drug had the effect that coffee has on me. Maybe old-school caffeine pills are what I should be taking :)


It’s really interesting to see the different effects that these ADHD drugs have on different people.
I’m a recently diagnosed 49-year-old and I went through test rounds of increasing dosages of both methylphenidate and lisdexamfetamine. I maxed out both dosages and it the effects were so minimal that I couldn’t even tell I had taken anything. I’m not taking anything now., I just manage the best I can with non-medicinal methods.


Less accountability sure seems like it’ll prevent scandals. Because there will be no way to find out that someone in government dropped $5K on hookers and blow…assuming that hookers and drug dealers provide receipts.


Points for imagination! That’s somebody’s next album cover.

What this article didn’t say was that Tod Maffin (the organizer) used to work for the CBC (where the article was written). He was a technology columnist for CBC radio. I actually met him a couple of times when he was on my side of the country (Nova Scotia).


Damn it. This is one of my favourite bands. What’s the protocol here, am I still allowed to like them? What if they get a new drummer?


The elephant in the room…


I’m no international law expert but I don’t think that follows the Geneva convention.


Weird. Do you think, and I’m just going to throw this out there, that there might be some correlation between the rate of vaccinations within a population and that population’s resistance to disease?
Exactly my feelings when I heard “Smells Like Teen Spirit” called “classic rock” a few years ago.
Create a docker container without explicitly naming it. Job done.


Has anyone here installed friendica? I tried to give it a go yesterday with the the docker image. The login page is showing up, but it is giving me HTTP 500 errors when I click sign up I also get no errors in any logs.
A person’s state becomes the name of the zone when they’re in them.
In the current version of Home Assistant, if a person is in two overlapping zones, what happens? It’s possible to be in that state today.
I suppose it doesn’t really matter though. I’ve named all my home zones similarly: home1, home2, etc. It would be easy enough to check for a zone where the object_id starts with “home”
I…honestly thought I just did that. I want to have an irregularly-shaped zone. I don’t see why they couldn’t logically be grouped, you just aren’t able to do it right now.
Anyway, thanks for reading what I typed.
I am pretty sure I’m not confused. I want to group zones together so they can be used in automation triggers and I can change the group’s membership and not have to change every automation trigger. The group’s state should indicate the number of person entities that were in any zone in the group.
I’m not talking about areas at all.
Just to be clear, I don’t believe grouping zones is currently possible. It’s just a want I have.
You don’t get the choice to use more than one zone as your official “home” zone though, do you?
Like when you create a zone, it’s a circle. It has a radius. I want a zone that is an arbitrary shape, so I compose it out of several smaller zones. I want to formally make it a single zone in Home Assistant by grouping them. Currently you can’t add zones to groups or create a zone with type: group or anything like that.
Yeah, I bring it to work with me.
