Just to ask one more question, did Israel stop its genocide in Gaza?

In my timesheets, when I work is logged and automatically calculated. If I put in 8am to 12pm. Then enter 1pm to 5pm, with a 1 hour gap for lunch it calculates 8 hours, if I put in 8am to 4pm, and have "lunch" at the end of the day, it still calculates 8 hours.

He will take accountability at the same moment the Austrian mustache man too accountability for the holocaust. That is, he will go to the grave never taking accountability.

No I'm saying you told your family to stop turning off the dehumidifier and they haven't stopped doing that. No amount of home automation or smart devices is going to change your family turning the dehumidifier off. You don't have a dumb system problem, you have a dumb people problem. And unfortunately a dumb people problem doesn't get solved by a smarter system.

Dehumidifiers are already automatic. Black mold isn't going to take over your bathroom in 10 minutes.

It sounds to me like your problem is human error, not the lack of a smarter machine. You can't engineer your way around people being morons. The greatest engineering minds have figured that out years ago.

But dehumidification doesn't need to be proactive, it's entire point is to kick on when there's too much humidity and turn off once it gets to where it's set to. This is the kind of building a solution to a problem that doesn't actually exist.

And you're vastly underestimating how quickly diffusion works, especiallu for water vapor in air. When I take my shower in the morning the air very quickly saturates with humidity. I don't have a very dry half of the room and a very humid half of the room. The entire room is humid. It doesn't take 10 minutes for the humidity to diffuse into the dehumidifier. And then I leave the bathroom door open after which the humidity very quickly dissipates and equalizes the relatively high humidity of the very small bathroom into the comfortable humidity of the very large everywhere else that the small amount of humidity will have a negligible impact on.

I'm failing to see how putting more unnecessary stuff between the hygrometer and the cooling loop of a dehumidifier makes it better.

And how does a well designed automation system measure how much moisture in the air? There must be some kind of measuring device that measures moisture, a moisture scope! Ooh wait let's latinize it to make it sound more impressive and sophisticated a hygro...me...ter... oh... uh... this is embarrassing.

Authoritarians gonna authoritarian regardless of economic model.

Dehumidifiers already do that. They're equipped with hygrometers that kick the machine on or off depending on the relative humidity. It's old tech and it's pretty reliable, wifi isn't really necessary for it.

I gotta agree with Samus12345 on this one. This really does look like something conservatives would post unironically kinda like that pride month = demon meme with an ai generated rainbow Satan goat head that makes pride month look so much more badass than they were trying to show.

So the earliest we have of this kind of saying is from Don Quixote where it is about deflecting hypocritical criticism from the 1600s. The shiny kettle/black pot version is more recent one gaining prominence in the late 1800s.

I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE???

But seriously though there's something about a palm being itchy, especially the thicker pad where the hand begins to transition into the wrist that just is so much more persistent than anywhere else.
