@Fluttershy Do you have any other way short of showing up to contact them? Maybe just say hi or whatever first, I dunno

Fluttershy

@Ash I could send a Facebook message. But even that is proving difficult.

@Fluttershy, a potential way to do it is to write out what you want to on Facebook, then have someone else send it

Q: skyrim console command to disable menu controls without making them invisible?

i was speed leveling enchanting with incpcs so i could make some op amulets and then revert my level back down afterwards, and i wanted to keep the skill screen open underneath the console menu so i can easily see when it maxes out, but every time i press up+enter to resubmit the previous command...

Recruiter emailed me yesterday about a job working for the city.

I go, "Hey, yeah, that sounds like something I can do! Here's my resume."

Recruiter responds with, "The client has some questions that you need to fill out", and sends back the job description with some of the requirements highlighted.

There were no questions.

So I just sent an email elaborating on the bolded things.

We'll see if he responds. But if this is the limit of his interaction, he might as well just get out of the way and let me talk to them directly.

What are you planning for your RasPi?

I built a Streetpass relay out of mine.

SaintWacko

Home automation

Starting out with replacing the thermostat

Then having a network of temperature sensors

MadMAxJr

Sweet. So you're going to play with extension boards / GPIO pin stuff.

SaintWacko

And in the slightly longer term, having the RasPi control the vents in the house

Yep

I'm going to have the RasPi as the base station

And then a scattering of other microcontrollers around the house

One in each room

GodEmperorDune

9:29 PM

@SaintWacko wait you can do that with raspi?

SaintWacko

Haven't decided whether I'm going to use ESP8266s, arduinos, or Pi0s

GodEmperorDune

i thought you had to buy expensive stuff for it to work

Mad Scientist

temperature sensors with the pi is easy

SaintWacko

The whole thing is probably going to run me a few hundred dollars

But it's going to be really cool

And the house temperature will be so much better

GodEmperorDune

a single nest unit is a couple hundred dollars

@MadMAxJr Madeon is great

He was at Escapade, but not the day I was there

SaintWacko

And a Nest won't be able to to anything close to what I plan to do

All the vents in the house will be able to open and close themselves in order to precisely control the temperature

Mad Scientist

A single DS18S20 costs 2-3 EUR, so the sensors themselves are really cheap

SaintWacko

Yep!

GodEmperorDune

9:31 PM

that sounds amazing but i know if i started that i would end up with a stack of microcontrollers on my desk that never went anywhere

SaintWacko

I'm going to start out with just a single microcontroller

Figure out how to get everything set up in one room

Then I'll know how to set up the rest of the house

Plus, it's going to be a great project

I'm going to be doing the whole thing in Python

arda

@SaintWacko dont use esps imho

Mad Scientist

Do you want to use microcontrollers with Wifi?

SaintWacko

@arda Why's that?

the heat sensors for it are usually worse - ioft.pw

@SaintWacko Correction: don't use dht11

man I'm sleepy

GodEmperorDune

but python is a huge step up

SaintWacko

@arda Ohh, okay

Yeah, I'd definitely use the 22 instead

I like them because they have humidity sensors as well, unlike the DS18S20

I also discovered I have an arduino from back in college

But no wifi shield

Mad Scientist

9:35 PM

The DS18S20 work pretty well in my experience. They also seem to go lower in temperature than their spec (~-70°C), but I'm not sure how accurate they're then.

SaintWacko

What I think I'm going to do is use a Pi0

They don't have wifi either, but I've seen tutorials on how to extract the board from a little usb wifi adapter and wire it onto the pi0

Adds wifi to it with out any real increase in footprint

I just wish I could find someplace to buy a pi0 without paying more for shipping than I do for the 0

Not a big deal if I'm buying a bunch, but when I'm just buying one to figure out how it works...

I support people's dietary choices, but you can't force it on your kids

murgatroid99

@arda People always serve their kids the same things they eat

GnomeSlice

> Some say better public health education rather than punitive measures would be more effective at improving children's nutrition.

This

I don't think passing legislation that basically says you can't raise your kids a certain way is a good step

That said, being vegan is really dumb

murgatroid99

And "Some vegans don't feed their kids well" is not actually the same as "A vegan diet is inherently unhealthy"

GnomeSlice

but it is

arda

10:14 PM

@murgatroid99 yes, but as that article says, the limits of being a vegan is too risky for young children

GodEmperorDune

@GnomeSlice we already have legislation that punishes people for raising their kids in an unsafe way

murgatroid99

@arda If you don't have a sufficient variety of foods

arda

>
No meat, fish, animal fats or gelatine
No dairy products such as cow's milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, goat's or sheep's milk
No eggs, nor foods containing eggs, such as most Quorn products
No honey

@murgatroid99 you have a point

Dragonrage

@GnomeSlice It's not, though. You can get all of the nutrients you need without animal products. It takes more work than if you don't have the restrictions, but it's not impossible

arda

10:17 PM

2 people said stuff against being vegan. I'm not against it, but as I said, it is risky for children's growth if you don't have tons of stuff

> "There is no objection if the person making this choice is an informed adult. The problem arises when children are involved... The vegetarian or vegan diet is, in fact, deficient in zinc, iron, vitamin D, vitamin B12 and omega-3".

user15026

You can take supplements for most of that iirc

this would be a better step imho

murgatroid99

It would be more accurate to say that some people don't eat healthy vegan diets. Some people don't eat healthy carnivorous diets either, but that doesn't mean we should ban people from eating only meat.

The quote mentions omega-3, which primarily comes from fish. Should we arrest people who don't feed their kids fish?

Dragonrage

not feeding your kids meat is basically torture.

like do you know how delicious it is?

user15026

That's the thing people forget - diets like this aren't inherently bad as long as you do the work to get what you need. The fact that people don't do that is completely separate from the diet itself.

Yuuki

The punishable offense in this case already exists. There are plenty of people who feed their children healthy vegan diets.

arda

@murgatroid99 I'm not supporting arrests for not feeding well, but some monetary action if the child gets sick because of it (it being not limited to veganism, but proper feeding).
