I think I figured it out. Grand Solar Maximum/Minimum.I assumed Giant Spaghetti Monster
Oh stop playing dumb. I’ll bring heirloom seeds!I’m still trying to figure out what GSM means and I’m fairly redpilled.
If one is a suspicious observer, GSM takes on a whole new meaning.I think I figured it out. Grand Solar Maximum/Minimum.
Me also???I’m still trying to figure out what GSM means and I’m fairly redpilled.
Do you have a spare room?
Grand Solar Minimum. I recommend researching it. The setup for a GSM is in full play, now we have to see if it is continuing next 11 year solar cycle. GSM's can really suck. Last one was around 1819.I’m still trying to figure out what GSM means and I’m fairly redpilled.
Sorry to burst your bubble, I've been a successful business owner for 36 years, multiple businesses too which I continue to operate. I'm certainly not jealous, just a long time business perspective.You’re flogging people who rolled the dice, took some risk, and are getting some award from that risk. Maybe stop being jealous and figure out something other than being the assistant manager at Wendy’s?

That’s something I keep in mind for mine. My mother and grandparents are easily intimidated by technology and unwilling to learn. Even simple controls and basic interfaces confuse them. Not that they can’t, they won’t. It’s frustrating so I have to design it as simple as possible and automatic.Bad idea! His poor wife must be terrified!
If anything ever happened to him (or even if he just gets the flu for a week) she'd have to take over and there's a lot of moving parts.
Mebbe I'm just a minimalist at heart but life woulda been so much simpler if they'd just stayed in Kelowna.
And I don't get how he's free when his family is totally dependent on this overly-complicated Rube Goldberg system. Sure it's a fun hobby and keeps him busy and gives him lots to talk about but Sheesh! There are limits!
I agree.That’s something I keep in mind for mine. My mother and grandparents are easily intimidated by technology and unwilling to learn. Even simple controls and basic interfaces confuse them.

But only if they are willing/capable of understanding it will it make their lives better.Automation is better for everyone involved.
I recently got a few smart plugs and lights to play with as a new hobby to see what all the fuss is about.Automation is better for everyone involved.
Watching Linus (LTT) on YouTube has convinced me to use very little home automation. KISS. I know how to use a light switch and it usually works.
Sporadic and limited use? sure. Bolting stuff to every outlet, faucet, climate control device, etc? Unneeded and involves unnecessary complications IMHO.
