That graph looks a lot like coal mine s the source with the biggest decrease

At that stage of my life, my cooking was rudimentary. While my parents made sure we could cook, it was limited to grilling and baking

AI suffers from bandwagoning

Someone’s got to pay for your posts about beans.

Hah, I bought a car that will leave your rustang in the dust! More power, but enough tr toon control that I won’t put it in the ditch

… for example

Clearly you’re not Fidelity

…. Nor my tree guy, nor my doctor

Do those ever work? I’ve tried them a few times but always have to try again the next day when it never happens

Definitely music, no matter how bad. I know call centers are intentionally understaffed so I will be waiting a long time (and they hope I’ll give up). Ill be putting my phone down and on speaker: I need something that reminds me the call is still there but is audibly distinct from a voice so I notice when they pick up

Hunting is meh. Some hunters are bad, careless or dangerous

I grew up listening to the sound of rifles from my bedroom and being warned not to go into the woods during the season. Whoever y’all are, you should be in jail for hunting in a populated area.

Then after the season was over, we had to haul trash out of the woods. Whoever y’all are, you need to got back to Scouts to relearn “leave no trace”

I have to admit to using Amazon pretty heavily so I rarely need to shop anywhere beyond my local grocery.

But I more focus on buying less, buying choices that last, rather than where it comes from.

Seems like a fun experiment. Especially with a kid who likes gross stuff

Outstanding, thanks

I saw reviews where the clamps measured as much as 40% high. If my heat pump is 75% of my usage and it read that high, then when I look as a percentage of total use, it will be over 100% and my “untracked” usage will be invisible

I agree it’s expensive, but the emporia one someone else mentioned has more meters on one device. I do have smart switches which directly measure power consumption so lights are covered. I know there are outlets so I could probably cover things like a freezer if I wanted to. But there’s really only a handful of devices which use noticeable power

That’s an interesting idea - is there a guide for newbies? I’ve never done anything with esphome.

I had been expecting to use the total power from my utility but perhaps that’s a better idea: measure total power with the same tool as individual.

Right, a big part of the goal is to identify whether untracked is significant.

Maybe accuracy is not the right word: I see your point that it’s likely accurate enough. My concern was consistency.

The total power usage as reported by my utility is measured one way and these measure a different way. Any error compounds, and the goal is to graph them against each other. Is it enough to make an impact?

That specific product has two sensors. That means only one 240v circuit, right?

Do you need to cut the outer insulation off? How else do you get to both legs?

Edit: I see, it mounts in the panel. Actually brings up a different challenge since my electrical has evolved over the years into multiple sub panels

Aside from tech billionaire being an asshole ……

Let me play devils advocate a bit here. Consider a voice assistant device. They’re cheap thing, basically only a microphone and network card, with minimal compute and memory, yet leverage cloud resources to do far more than such a cheap device could by itself.

Of course the real reason is he wants to hoard all the memory plus monetize your activities and track your every thought, but the point remains that voice assistandt devices can do far more with cloud than they could on their own

Both of the injunction cases have some legal problems. They purport to restrict the feds from doing certain subpoenas or certain indictments before they actually do them

In normal times, it’s a good idea for someone to be harmed before you try to redress that harm. But this is one of the things that must change in today’s dysfunctional government, where people don’t hesitate to illegally demolish things first in order to say “now you have to let me build a gold plated ballroom for my 900 closest friends”. What good is a justice system that can’t stop injustice?

That’s crazy! Why did it take until its eulogy to finally see what made it unique?

I don’t know what you include in convenience pricing but I probably don’t do it.

I am outraged over grocery/food delivery prices. My mom is mobility impaired so delivery is a lot more than merely a convenience, yet she can’t afford to spend huge amounts
