My friend’s uncle lived this life but swap ~~globe~~ to “Lake Travis in Austin, TX” and swap ~~friend or family member~~ to “random babe”

One time, she (my friend), invited us out for a full day on her uncle’s boat and whenever we stopped to gas up, one babe would depart and another would hop on. He also had some kinda magical ice chest that never ran out of beer. Good times.

They’re gonna put their foot on the scales for this vote just like they did in the US presidential election.

Nope. Outside of the shower, I generally don’t wash my face unless it got messy somehow.

One of the closest things to a “free lunch” we get on this planet and these morons are against it.

Dear Alien Overlords who are running this simulation: please grant me admin privileges or at least do a PORNTIPSGIZZARDO on my bank account?? I promise it will make for good TV!

Woah where’d they get 10 billion? Oh that’s right, we give them almost 4 billion every year. What a great way to spend tax payer money!

It just keeps coming..

I’m an atheist, but god, if you’re up there, do me a favor and put an end to this madness?

I worked for a company that made sport betting “soft gambling” apps, which isn’t something I really enjoy doing on my phone. I actually have one downloaded, but just as a weird kind of souvenir I guess. Another dev and I nearly killed ourselves getting it out on a deadline and the push lead us both to leave the company. He quit and was fired for being out of fucks to give. Haven’t launched the app in years, though.

That’s really cool. Now I just need to embed them in all the annoying things in my life so I can dismiss said annoyances with a wave of my hand.

Very true! But I live in a part of the world that is hot and dry, and this article is about a variety of coffee plant that grows in hot, dry climates!

 

Hello, and thank you in advance.

I'm making a privacy friendly "ring" cam/doorbell following this guide: https://tristam.ie/2023/758/ which has been great, but requires running a micro-usb cable down to the doorbell for power. I'm hoping to improve on this by using the existing doorbell power instead.

The problem is that I'm a DIY electronics noob and I can't create a mental model for how it should all work. The picture I attached is my existing doorbell wiring scheme, which is as simple as it comes. I totally get how this works. Pressing the doorbell completes the circuit and makes the bingbongs. But this will have to change so the new door cam gets power full time. Ideally without the chime bingbonging full time.

In addition to the ESP-32CAM, button, ring lights, etc., I also bought these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079FJSYGY which I thought might be needed to complete the circuit?

I measured the voltage after the transformer and it was around 18 volts, but maybe this is AC and I want DC?

Generally I don't know where in "the loop" to put things. Also, all the existing components are very far apart from each other, so I would love a solution that doesn't involve running any new wires through the walls.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!!
