I have PineTime setup with the heart rate tracker and always-on screen, the battery lasts all day if I charge it every night. In the latest update you can set the heart rate tracker to only poll every 1/5/10/30min if you're concerned about the power. The always-on screen uses much more power than the heart rate tracker.

If you have a zigbee/z-wave/thread network, you could get a temperature sensor and setup HA to use that to control the AC. There's a built in "generic thermostat" that would do most of the work for you.

Am I missing something or is Recto still inherently linear? Flow control still goes one direction through the rectangles, where as the other 2D languages he points out, Befunge, Fish, and Piet, flow control can change directions. In later versions of Befunge it isn't even limited to 2D or moving in cardinal directions.

This may be just a glitch, but the sections that are missing are alarming, they are all things Trump has sought to undermine. Everyone call your Congressmen now, make them aware of this issue so they can make sure it gets fixed.

I assume you mean having a USB-C port on the side of the watch. Having that port would allow water to get in to the case, the cradle-style charges used by smart watches allow the case to be sealed to prevent water damage. Even if you are careful about not wearing the watch when bathing, or in the rain, or in a pool, its unlikely you remove you watch every time you wash your hands or wash dishes.

One tax break doesn't make up for wanting to shut down the Department of Education which sponsors special ed programs, or repeal the ACA and reduce medicaid that help people with disabilities get health care.

The economy is recovering, inflation is back down to normal levels, unemployment is low, GDP is continuing to grow. High tariffs and deporting migrants is only going to make prices go up.

I got the enbrighten switches set up on the bathroom fan. After a few months of observing the humidity changes I settled on triggering the fan based on the derivative of the humidity. I found that 2%/s with 2min of averaging works well, no false positives so far.

There was, but the tradition is that an incumbent president seeking reelection rarely gets challenged during the primary. Joe Biden was the only serious candidate during the Democratic primary. When he withdrew from the race after the primary, and only a few weeks before the DNC, where the nomination would be made official, there wasn't time to organize a second primary. It takes time to generate a list of candidates, get those to each of the states, have the states print ballots and organize a special election. The DNC was forced to pick a new candidate without going through another primary because they had to finalize their choice in time for the states to organize the actual election. Many states even have laws with deadlines for nominations that the DNC had to work within.

It was going to take decades to recover from how badly Trump fucked up the government last time he was in power, and the economy was only just starting to recover. With another term, its unlikely we'll be able to recover within my lifetime, my children will be left worse off than me.
