Art imitates life, right?

/I'm sad now

This is more like Obiwan being cut down by Vader as Han & Luke escape with Leia. Obiwan sacrificed himself to distract Vader long enough for the others to make their escape. We're just getting started.

Don't worry... Plenty of time still to blow up the Death Star. And then the Empire strikes back.

This just in, scientists unveil "a loop of wire"

I keed, I keed. Glad to see materials science improving technologies we have for new applications.

That ... That's baller. I'm "doughy" at best, and its all I'll ever be.

People are more buoyant in salt water because it has higher molar mass. Humans on average are about 90% density of water by mass so about 10% of your frame would float above the surface, which is generally enough to expose your nose. Of course you can articulate your neck, float on your back, tread water...

Salinity also matters. Salty water you might be up to 3% or 5% more buoyant, pound for pound, compared to fresh water.

Really, it depends on how fat and how salty, but generally the difference is less than 5% by mass.

Swim.

Not get splashed or crowded by kids, mostly.

edit: lol, sorry. misinterpreted the question

Public pools have a shallow end and a deep end. It's difficult (but not impossible!) to drown in the shallow end because you can just stand up, but you can still swim.

Most humans, especially fat Western humans, are naturally buoyant. Completely inert, most (fat) Western people will float above the bottom of their nose (because we're fat.) Very lean or muscular people tend to be more neutrally buoyant or even negatively buoyant (sink), YMMV.

Most important thing to remember as an Aquatic Mammal is you WILL get water in your nose, and sometimes down your windpipe. DO NOT PANIC. It burns, you will want to cough. Resist that urge. If you are under water or do not have free air passage, DO NOT COUGH. Control the urge and break the surface, then you can go ham coughing and sputtering.

The most important thing about being in and around water is to be comfortable. If you're not comfortable, you're too deep. Get shallow.

Need help from the Internet? Make a statement.

Yeah.

I don't make the rules. Sorry.

The governor will appoint a replacement to fill the seat until.a special election in 2026. The winner will occupy the seat until the next regular cycle for that seat.

The governor of Arizona happens to be Democratic.

I think it's because he looks like DT Junior, but slightly better looking

📢 THE QUIET PARTS

I can't speak to the quality of actual locksets or recommended any products, but LockPickingLawyer on YouTube has a number of short videos discussing smart locks. My impression is most of them are trash at just being a lock. The ones made by traditional lockset manufacturers probably aren't generally good at being smart, but I've been wrong about major brands' commitment to open standards before.

Assuming you can find a decent lock that talks Z-Wave, I think you're on the right track with Zwave2MQTT and a USB dongle. I'd be squeamish about using a Pi specifically in a mission critical security control system for a couple of reasons (reliability, complexity, WiFi interference), but as long as you have keyed backup, it'll probably be OK.

I'll leave it to others to recommend the locks, but as I mentioned in another post her, most battery operated Z-Wave devices, in my experience, report their battery life. Most of mine seem to go from 100% to 70% to dead in about a day though, so accuracy might be hit & miss.

Maybe just leave one door with an old school keyed lockset as a plan B.
