The Bored Vape Yacht Club makes no sense

You are thinking of your barn again old man

#

no my barn is much cleaner than that

I should buy a small farmland with a barn or two

So many guitars omg

And that peavey cab

That isn't even all @last cedar

#

I have more

You will have to show me pics later, I have to sleep!

clear ferry
#

5 electric 3 acoustic 6 strings, one acoustic 12 string, one lap steel, two bass guitars, that is a VOX AC50 with original tubes from 1967, a Hughes And Kettner SS, plus it's a 4x12" peavey that I've split into 2x2x12

#

original black widow cones

#

plus I have a korg Triton LE, some midi controllers and around 30 guitar pedals

#

plus some pedal boards

#

I'm probably forgetting something

#

I was gonna build two guitar pedals into the Telecaster I built, but I haven't gotten around to it yet

#

and rebuild one of my basses as a fretless

#

Might just buy another bass that is fretless

#

I still want to buy a Yamaha TRB6p, I've been dreaming about that one for 22 years

#

I should get around to buy a mandolin at some point too

I do have a ballalaika here somewhere

@unkempt mist

#

😎

unkempt mist
#

Hey

meager flume
#

hey man

unkempt mist
#

Yeah so.. basically I have ADD and have a hard time getting stuff done

meager flume
#

Likewise

unkempt mist
#

I always forget to do things, get down on myself for not doing them.and stressed out for falling behind..

#

simple stuff like checking my work email (i'm currently on leave but have to check in).. or checking my voicemail (i'm HORRIBLE at that)....

#

taking my vitamins.. doing my rehab yoga.. you know.. day to day

#

doing dishes, making bed.

#

all that stuff that I would have learned if I was actually diciplined

low harness
unkempt mist
#

Yassssss.. thats basically what I'm doing but with Home assistant toggle switches

meager flume
#

Oh damn i see your list

unkempt mist
#

it resets every day

meager flume
#

I struggle with phone calendars and reminders because it's a huge chore to actually create activities

#

And even if i create them, i legit forget to check it

unkempt mist
#

oh. well. that exactly what I'm solving with Home Assistant, Android phone w/ google calendar/tasks, and MagicMirror

meager flume
#

It's to the extent where i've got a shared calendar with my girlfriend where she takes care of our social obligations lol

#

mmm

unkempt mist
#

I can show you the system I came up with if you want

meager flume
#

Sure! Is it more like a to-do list for you, or does HA start chasing you down if you DONT do stuff?

low harness
meager flume
#

I dont meditate, yet. But my apple watch did teach me the habit of taking a minute breather of mindfulness every day

#

When its buzzing your wrist every now and then you cant exactly forget it

meager flume
#

physical!!

low harness
#

Yes!

unkempt mist
#

woooow thats an aswesome calendar

low harness
#

I don't understand why she removed the best feature for the kickstarter.

meager flume
#

yeah what the heck, i saw the first shot with mechanical switches which looked soooo good

unkempt mist
#

my deal is that, i can remind myself that I have to do something.. that's easy, but when I think "what should I do" i never know what to do.. so.. now when I think "what should i do" or "i should do something" i just goto my home assistant chore tracker and llook at my wallmounted magicmirror

#

do you know magicmirror @meager flume ?

#

@low harness I would build a light board fofr my wall and have it automatically light up when I push the button OR when I toggle it in HA.

meager flume
unkempt mist
#

ok so basically i have a 40 inch tv mounted in my hallway that displays this

unknown.png
#

its pulling that from my google calendar and my google calendar tasks

#

as soon as i add something from my phone or computer it shows up within a few minutes

#

so I can see it when I'm at home really easily without having to do much

meager flume
#

that is so clean

unkempt mist
#

thats one part of it. that alone has helped me a lot likein the morning I can wake up and walk to the bathroom and be instantly reminded whaht I gotta do

#

yeah I updated the CSS so it looks nice.

meager flume
#

so you just repurposed an older tv?

unkempt mist
#

i found one on buy and sell yea

meager flume
#

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

#

i could have a 3d printed case with a pi and display in it to kinda do the same

#

or a bigger display but i'd really only do that if i could mount a motion sensor to toggle it on and off

unkempt mist
#

I got it hanging in my office actually

unknown.png
#

but I"m going to add a second display in my kitchen area so I can see it no matter where I'm at. I haven't figured out the motion sensor part yet but I'll do that at some point too

meager flume
#

Offtopic - what is that camera on your monitor?

unkempt mist
#

oh. its a microsoft lifecam

meager flume
unkempt mist
#

So that's part 1. that's helped me a lot stay organized being able to see my stuff like a part of my decor.

meager flume
#

its smaller for sure

unkempt mist
#

yeah it would I haven't thought about options I was going to make it the screensaver of a TV in my kitchen so It would double as a recipe station / terminal for grocy / web browser / email station

#

I want a stand computer station in my kitchen that I can do everything on and it will default to this screen when i'm not using it.

#

i'll check the google nest thing though I hadn't thought of that

meager flume
#

i had to google grocy and now im intrigued

unkempt mist
#

its an addon for home assistatn

#

so basically. one of the toggles on my HA list is to follow up on pending items off the todo list.

meager flume
#

the nest hub is fairly limited but i know HA can cast a dashboard to it, not sure about other applications.

unkempt mist
#

so every day it pushes me towards my list.

meager flume
#

i already use smaller google nest voice assistants so it integrates nicely

unkempt mist
#

all I have to remember is.. "goto the HA chores list" and it kind of feeds me towards everything else

meager flume
#

are they just regular switches or what does it do when you flick one

unkempt mist
#

when you flick it it changes the chore counter guage on the right. when you flick enough it goes from red, to yellow to green

#

its like reward. I want to get it out of the red ASAP everyday. like a game. see how fast I can get it out of the red

#

its very rewarding for me.

meager flume
#

interesting concept, i like it

unkempt mist
#

i've gotten so good at doing the dishes its insane

#

lol

#

its like I go in the kitchen to get a drink or something and the dishes are done like magic.

#

its like I'm slowly being possesed by the spirit of an adult

meager flume
#

My main issue is that i can build and design my system to my liking, but actually updating and keeping up my NEW activities or to-dos - im horrible at that

#

time to invest in a roborock btw 😂

unknown.png
unkempt mist
#

lol

#

naaa..

#

I have to actually move things around

#

Like organize, clean out drawers

meager flume
#

I love your system though, im writing this down to see what i can do with it

unkempt mist
#

I have never organized my stuff consistently. I have this huge task of trying to compartmentalize all of my stuff..

meager flume
unkempt mist
#

well if you ever want to chat about it DM me and I'll talk with you about it

meager flume
unkempt mist
#

Let me tell you. my life has gotten a lot more organized since I have been at home.

meager flume
#

i think it was 2 or 3 months ago when i suddenly was booted in an organizing mood for the entire weekend

unkempt mist
#

I feel like I might actually get ontop of my life. as a person with ADHD or whatever my problem is. its soul crushing to not be ontop of my stuff

meager flume
#

i started on a room, ripped everything out. all drawers, whatever i could find

#

trashbag in hand

#

crate in the other

unkempt mist
#

Thats how you do it

#

I have to do a little bit of that everyday. that's what that list item means...

#

once I dont have any more of that to do. then I'll just be doing quick vacuums and wipe downs

meager flume
#

sorted out the trash first, then little crates to organize, and then items back to a good spot

unkempt mist
#

then eventually my parents will come to my house and be like. .... "what have you done with our son"

#

my dad will probably be like "why the h311 couldn't you have been like this when you lived with us"

meager flume
unkempt mist
#

NO!

#

thats the thing man!

#

there is light at the end of the tunnel

#

did you know that ADHD people are known to make good surgeons

#

do you think that a surgeon would live the way you and me have been? nope. they figured out how to tame and harness their situation

#

I'm telling you because I'm starting to tame my lifestyle and its like. .. i'm stepping through a fog i've never been out of . There is hope if you keep working at it

#

you just need to be really clever about how to manage everything

meager flume
#

i used to think that, until i realized most therapists are a mental mess themselves

unkempt mist
#

therapist/surgeon not the same thing

meager flume
#

Nah i know

#

But a comparison

unkempt mist
#

there is hope dont give up

#

i promise you

meager flume
#

Oh no dont get me wrong! I am 100% doing great atm and it feels great, which is why i have time to focus on HA stuff a lot

#

all my huge demons have been dealt with

#

Now its the smaller ones

#

It's a bliss honestly

unkempt mist
#

your ADHD gives you the capability to achieve incredible things, if you can learn how to harness it. It's like being a mutant superhero

#

Ah thats good to hear

#

like.. whats that movie.. xmen? when the kids goto that school because they can't control their superpowers. ADHD is a superpower

#

dont forget that!

meager flume
#

Its been great for college

unkempt mist
#

if you can prevent yourself from falling into traps that you create for yourself.. it takes dicipline and focus. but if you can do that you will find yourself in a weirdly available capable state

meager flume
#

My 2nd super power is my girlfriend luckily. After 6 years she's been through my manual countless times and knows how to get me to do stuff properly hehe

#

have you ever checked ADD/ADHD forums or groups or whatever?

#

My main gripe with those is that there's people in there blaming all their stuff on ADD/ADHD

unkempt mist
#

I haven't but I have watched a bunch of therapists talk about ADHD on ticktock odddly that was incredibly helpful

meager flume
#

'oh i overslept, i hate my ADHD' - dear god...

#

even if there is correlation to adhd, it feels so wrong to blame anything on it

unkempt mist
#

oh geez I stay away from that

meager flume
#

yeah, i expected to find solid advice but instead i found gigantic pity parties

unkempt mist
#

these ticktock therapists talking about adhd were so helpful to get me to understand that .... wlel. that understanding ADHD and how it works can change my life and it did

#

search ADHD on tiktok and look for therapists talking abot it. Maybe it'll be lame.. but it really helped me a lot.

#

explaining how to work with it, how to understand how it works that kind of stuff

meager flume
#

i avoid tiktok but have been through the same accounts with my gf together and they were great honestly

unkempt mist
#

they might not be correct about stuff completely but it taught me a lot in a really short period of time that kind of projected me into a really positive behavior

#

well. onward and upward man!

#

I told my wife that the only thing I ever expected of her is that she will always try to get better in some way.. that she will never give up and that we will always look towards building a better future.

meager flume
#

i appreciate it man, good to see you get so fired up talking about it. not seeing a lot of that positive vibes to people suffering the same fate as you and i around me - exactly why i avoid the topic normally

unkempt mist
#

Well I'm fired up because i'm growing wings and its an incredible feeling after a life of hopelessness... this HA automation stuff is really helping me so much

meager flume
#

You know what has been the most powerful glorious automation for me so far?

unkempt mist
#

Try this: google "Emmerson AI" and download the app. chat with it for free (its limited so dont burn it up on stupid stuff).. ask it anything. like anything.

unkempt mist
meager flume
#

Sending me reminders about the trash can

unkempt mist
#

lol!

#

I forgot about the trashcan!

meager flume
#

Plugged it into my local trash calendar

#

Its so great

unkempt mist
#

thats awesome

meager flume
#

Sends me 2 messages the day before - morning and night

unkempt mist

Perks of being dutch!

unkempt mist

strange how all the smart people are hey

lol j/k.. or am i

#

I am. a canuck

meager flume
#

😂

#

Surely the fact that most lead devs are dutch/belgian helps

unkempt mist
#

ahh.. well i have to say the dutch IT guys I worked with over the years were always among the brightest

#

mostly busines owners, problem solvers.. excellent thinkers.

#

Never really noticed that until now

#

wonders if there is a dutch invasion happening slowly

meager flume
#

its the VOC era all over again

#

just digitally now

#

and bits instead of spices 😉

unkempt mist
#

lol

#

oh man.

#

al onze bits zijn van Nederland

#

It was nice chatting but I gotta get back to this automation thing.. The script caused my counter to go nuts lol

meager flume
#

is that a google translate result, or your dutch knowledge? smart

unkempt mist
#

google translate lol

#

did it translate lol

meager flume
#

Good, don't bother learning the language!

#

Hahaha yes it made sense

unkempt mist

excellent. well maybe I could learn dutch then

meager flume
#

YEah, thanks for the chat. I'll probably hit you up in the near future

so apparently sweden is ranked higher than norway in wealth and happiness. that must really burn someone's chaps

clear ferry
#

Not really, they have a lot of other issues

#

Like integration of immigrants

forest edge
#

I thought their only issue was tall hot blondes lol

trim hollow
#

As an immigrant living in Sweden, I would say it’s not all doom and gloom here.

#

But yes there are definitely challenges, can’t really compare to how things are in Norway though.

forest edge
#

pretty easy, the people are shorter and more disillusioned with reality

clear ferry
#

We are actually average 7cm taller than the Swedes

forest edge
#

the spikey metal hair doesn't count

clear ferry
#

Like I even have hair

forest edge
#

yea but width isn't the same as height

clear ferry
#

Hey, my BMI is still lower than the 95 percentile of the US

forest edge
#

you may wanna relook up that average. oddly enough it seems most our fat people have died off

#

sorry, obese people

clear ferry
#

Median BMI appears to be 29 for 34-39 in the us

#

I'm 35

#

Norwegian median appears to be 26

forest edge
#

pretty sure our cdc site lists the average being 26 for us as well

#

oh no, atx can no longer tease american's about weight.. whatever shall he do?!

clear ferry
#

26.6 for all age groups according to cdc

forest edge
#

like i said, i think all the obese people actually died off dramatically shifting the average

#

maybe they didn't survive covid, dunno

clear ferry
#

Makes sense

#

The Venn diagram for anti government, anti vax and poor education/high obesity probably overlaps well

forest edge
#

maybe that's why norway is around the same average

clear ferry
#

Probably not, we have a functioning education system, quite high trust in government, very high vaccination rate, albeit rising obesity due to standard of living rather than low quality diet

glacial knot
#

are you sure you aren't just lazy?

#

that's where my weight comes from at least D:

I'll keep my debt free education thank you dogwink

well currently education is debt free here too lol

clear ferry
#

At what institution?

finite atlas
#

home schooling

clear ferry
forest edge
#

college

#

infact many already had thier debt wiped

#

they are considering wiping the slate for everyone else but currently all payments and loans etc are on hold

clear ferry
#

I'll believe it when I see it

finite atlas
#

even in germany you collect a small debt when going to college

glacial knot
finite atlas
#

the majority does

#

you get money from the gov for housing, food and such , if you need it, but you have to repay 50% of it up to 10 000€

glacial knot
#

Off the people around me only a single person had a loan

clear ferry
#

What is the definition of debt? We can ask for student loans, where most of it is forgiven if we pass exams, but you can finish a full masters for €250

forest edge
# clear ferry I'll believe it when I see it

if your country could ever receive anything other than 60 minute reruns and old black and white movies you would already seen it since this has been going on on since covid began lol

#

Well, 2 used Bafög, but If you manage it well, it pay’s itself of

clear ferry
#

I had £12k in debt after 4 years of school and 3 years of apprenticeship, but it is zero interest and paid over 50 years

forest edge
#

that was the idea of college here but the sad thing was, unless you became a top surgeon the shit was a pain to pay off lol

clear ferry
#

And i only had that much because I didn't bother finishing my bachelor's

glacial knot
#

My main trick to save money: I went to buy clothes when I visited my parents. To outsource the cost 😄

finite atlas
glacial knot
#

12k isn't exactly a little for quite a large sum of people

forest edge
#

although these days with wages being as high as they are and the ability to work from home etc, i would imagine it would be a lot easier to pay off studen loans if they weren't frozen

atx education status? A Levels? 😂

clear ferry
#

I have barely any education

forest edge
glacial knot
#

do you technically have a trade job certification?

clear ferry
#

I have a top paying job though

#

I have two trade certificates

forest edge
#

so atx is infact up to his eyeballs in educational loan debt.. the truth comes out

clear ferry
#

Oh no

#

1/14th of my yearly income in debt that doesn't cost me anything but gives me tax deductible

forest edge
# clear ferry Oh no

considering your cost of living is average 30% higher than ours.. you just might be in trouble lol

glacial knot
clear ferry
#

It is? I currently have a $100k house loan, that costs me $700 a month

#

I've paid down 55% of it already

forest edge
#

that usd?

#

or wooden kor?

clear ferry
#

Usd

forest edge
#

700 a month for 100k is kind of steep

#

what your interest rate?

clear ferry
#

1.92%

forest edge
#

that's pretty good

clear ferry
#

I used to have 1.7

forest edge
#

ours is climbing, was down to 2%

glacial knot
#

Why so high?

forest edge
#

think it's like 4% now

#

When do you ahve to re-finance atx?

#

or are you planing to pay off while on current fixed interest?

clear ferry
#

I've already done it twice, both cars on my house loan

forest edge

ew

clear ferry
#

I pay $1300 a month for the two cars

what is that

can't even recall the last time i ever heard of such cave man lingo

My wife has had 9 years of education, she didn't do any loans for her 5 year master, so that was $250 total

#

Think she has a $15k loan total

#

That she used to pay for housing and food while doing the four years of education

forest edge
#

can you really count trying to put a square peg into a round hole as education though?

clear ferry
#

Eh, her starting pay was $70k a year with no experience

forest edge
#

listing off salary is a mute. col determines everything and is diffrent everywhere

#

Ok then, keep your $9 minimum wage then

forest edge
#

depending where you live that 15 not 9

#

over 11 here in my state

clear ferry
#

Goodness me

#

We don't have any properly defined minimum wage, when I worked part time in a grocery store 22 years ago I had $14 per hour

#

Plus extras

forest edge
#

yea but your whole country is like the size of one of our counties

#

a little easier to just say fuck it and not assign anything lol

clear ferry
#

Don't need to set minimum wage when everyone pays fairly

forest edge
#

fairly is a subjective term lol

#

quite frankly i think qol was better before they went fucking with the min wage

#

yea some people were struggling but that was the col issue not the wage

clear ferry
#

Might be directly tied

forest edge
#

no because just as logic dictated before they raised the wages, col went up to compensate

#

which in turn clumped in more people who weren't struggling before, but are now

It was a different time. If you had internet you'd learn about cool sites from magazines, and they you'd bookmark them.

#

But that turned me off steam for years because it was such an idiotic problem to manufacture.

I'd say you're showing your age, but I date from a time when magazines would have simple games in them, that you'd type in yourself

I've had internet at home since 1991

#

So I can't be bothered with these peasant jokes

#

I'm currently concerned with the fact that I cannot find a single USB stick in my stuff

#

I've moved my office, but pretty sure all my USB sticks were in my drawer

#

they, however appear to have left the building

APPARENTLY

#

Not that there was anything interesting on any of them, I just wanted to use one to create a bootable media

#

Wife had one she had used to transfer malware and viruses for analysis

#

I was hesitant to take it

#

dont you also have one of those fancy ssd usb adapters which provide iso support?

clear ferry
#

I do

#

A zalman with an SSD inside

#

That however is in one of the boxes I haven't unpacked yet

#

I don't know which box it is

and I have five boxes

Oh, did you move out into the garage?

#

And if so, are you keeping your computer on a board on top of a stack of tires?

Nice

We've moved the "maker" stuff into the garage. 3d printer and freakin laser and stuff. Put some laminate flooring down and it got really cozy.

your past projects look like you're more than capable of building a complete man cave

#

I have a man cave. Dedicated games console shelf, Brittish-gentlemens-club-green walls and everything. But the kids are growing. I'm slowly preparing to give it up so they can have separate rooms 😦

#

eventually they'll want that man cave back 🙂

I even put a map of Vvardenfell on the wall recently.

#

On canvas. It's really nice!

I put down wooden flooring in my fathers old garage

and lived there for two years

Me too, I think. But you still had to connect to steam to install it.

I believe I had my AMD X2 3200+ system, 1GB RAM and a 6800GT

#

AMD64 chip I mean

#

Socket 939

I skipped 754

HL2 is still a great game, graphics wise

#

Tbf so is Doom (the reboot)

#

And gameplay wise. It's just a really good game.

Got it to work with a Ikea Tradfri 5 Button Remote, I click two times and then hold until it connects 🙂 Tried with just holding but didn't work this way, so I kinda wild clicked and hold and it worked 😄

#

Guess it must be some button device with touch link..

Hello any expert in Node Red ?

I got too annoyed about the lighting in Doom to play it.
I get that it's supposed to be a horror game, but the lights are not out. The lights are not there.
This is supposed to be a work place.

#

There we go, I decided to replace my core switches since I've moved into the garage

#

replaced 2x5900AF with 1x 2970 for the moment

#

that lowered the ambient noise level in my new office by 12dB

#

which is quite good
