Depending on the wall switch you have, you might be able to add a spring that makes it always return to the previous position when released. At least the switches I have in my house have a special little socket for adding a spring.
So in your Zigbee control panel you would configure the "power on behaviour" of the smart light/socket to "toggle".
Then I you would add the spring inside your physical switch.
Now when you press the switch it would cut the power to the light/socket briefly, and as soon as you release the switch the power would be restored.
If the light/socket is on, you press and release the switch, which cuts the power and the light/socket stays off due to the "toggle" behaviour.
If the light/socket is off, the light/socket is still powered, soo you can still turn it on via Zigbee, and if you pres the switch, it momentarily cuts the power and the toggle behaviour would now make if turn on.
This gives you basically the same behaviour as if you installed a relay, but if you use smart bulbs you gain the benefit of being able to control the brightness, color temperature, and hue, if it has those controls
Sonoff makes a bunch of Zigbee smart relays, that can take input from a normal switch.
It's basically just a Zigbee relay that can connect and disconnect regular wires, just like a switch does. But it also has terminals for connecting a regular switch, which then just functions as a button that controls the relay.
If you're on a first date, and "love is around the corner", that would kind of imply that the date you're currently on isn't the "love", because then love would be "right in front of you", not "around the corner"
A white hat hacker (also called penetration testers) has permission from the target to hack them. And if they succeed in hacking them, they write a report about how they did it, this allows the target to fix the security vulnerability, and therefore avoid getting hacked in the future. The white hat hacker of course gets paid for this service. Because they have permission, this is completely legal. Some companies also offer "bug bounties", this is essentially the company offering an open invitation for anyone to hack them, as long as they promise not to break or steal anything, and to also report their findings to the company.
A black hat hacker does not have permission from the target, they break in and steal data, break things, or sometimes just gather information. They can then black mail the target, sell the data or try to monetize their services in many other ways. This is of course illegal.
Fiinally there are grey hat hackers. These people blend the above two. These are people with noble intentions, but they don't have permission from the targets, but they still report their findings anyway, or in some cases even fix the security issues themselves. This is still illegal, because they don't have permission, but in many cases the target doesn't want to press charges, because the grey hat hacker tried to help without expecting to get paid. There was a case many years ago where some regular printers has a massive security vulnerability, which allowed hackers to break into the network the printer was on, and use the printer to hack other things. And since no one ever patches their printers, they were left vulnerable. A grey hat hacker took it upon themselves to break into all the printers and force the printers to update, fixing the vulnerability. And since the people who had the printers didn't have any idea about the vulnerability or the hack, they didn't press charges... Needless to say, grey hat hacking is very dangerous, because your good intentions, and benevolent actions might still land you in jail if the company or person you are trying to help doesn't like it.
The initial position come with the statement "she would shave her head". Starting her out at a rather crazy but not very hot combination.
Then, "she'd lose 10 pounds" where Barney draws a horizontal line to the left, which would mean that she became less crazy, but stayed equally not very hot.
Then "stab me with a fork", drawing a diagonal line up and to the right, which would mean that this turned her both hotter and crazier (but a bit more crazy than hot)
Then "get a boob job", again drawing a horizontal line to the left, meaning the stayed exactly as hot as after the fork stabbing, but somehow became much less crazy...
So apparently:
losing weight makes you less crazy but doesn't change hotness
stabbing people with forks is hot, but also quite crazy
and getting boob jobs, also makes you less crazy, but also doesn't affect your hotness...
I'm not here to judge anymore for thinking boob jobs make you saner... But it doesn't quite align with the rest of Barneys views...
I have no idea how rare it is to find women that fit your description... But my gut feeling says that it is not as uncommon as you have been led to believe. A very common stereotype for women is to be nurturing and warm... There has got to be a reason why that stereotype exists in the first place.
But for what it's worth, my wife is exactly like this, except for the "baby talk" and diminutive names... Those are the two items from your list that I also don't really enjoy, so that might just be a case of us adapting to each other's preferences and needs. I actually also don't like my hair being stroked... But that's because I have psoriasis in my scalp, and stroking my hair causes it to tickle and itch.
When I stumbled upon your post we were actually already lying in bed and I had only woken up some 10-20 minutes before, and my wife had just rolled over and wrapped herself around me as the big spoon.
My parents were also somewhat emotionally distant. They preferred to bottle up any hard emotions instead of dealing with them. They were never abusive though.
In the early parts of the relationship with my wife, I didn't appreciate the affection as much, I still liked it, but couldn't fully surrender to the feeling. However my wife started therapy to deal with her own childhood trauma and PTSD, and asked me to join to help her... This was of course a smart ploy, because she knew I also needed the therapy. Participating in the therapy made me realise how much I actually needed the therapy, and it taught me to open up to my emotions, and both receiving and giving affection. Which of course taught me to appreciate and enjoy much more of my wife's affection.
Every human is different, some are extremely affectionate, and some are not. Some people need a lot of affection and some need very little.
Being honest with your self and any potential partner is absolutely a super power. You do not want to trap a person that doesn't want to be affectionate in a relationship where they have to be. You want to find someone who either is affectionate already, or is open to being affectionate.
And this is completely normal to expect in a good relationship, but as you say, many men have been taught that they have to hide away their emotions... But to me it seems like this stereotype is rapidly changing to allowing men to be softer, and open up about their emotions.
Only 27 containers? That rookie numbers... You gotta pump those up!
I'm currently sitting at 131 containers across 3 Kubernetes nodes, all bare-metal though, no virtualization.
Coathanger? Isn't that a paperclip?
Somehow a paperclip seems even more impressive
Yeah, and making those bridges would come at a very steep environmental cost
A bit of searching makes me think it's a game called "Tales of Maj'Eyal"... Never heard of it though.
Ubuntu -> Debian -> Linux Mint -> Fedora -> Arch -> Manjaro -> EndeavourOS -> SuSE Linux -> NixOS
I'm pretty happy on NixOS now...
Their CEO praised Trump and the Republicans on Twitter/X

One awesome feature is that it looks up each game on isthereanydeal.com, so you can immediately see whether there's a cheaper price somewhere else

But I would imagine that most other countries with unified tax paid healthcare would be the same.

I would argue that Tunic and probably most soulslikes would fit your description.

I hope...
