After a few days of data, the pattern was obvious - every time I smelled smoke, PM2.5 would spike. So I pulled 6 months of historical data.

Absolute vindication. I wasn't being a "difficult tenant" - my neighbor was creating EPA-level air pollution in my living space daily for MONTHS!

I am curious if the data had anything to do with your neighbor moving or just a vindication that it was not just minor issue.

Well it would need to communicate reliably to be hackable :grin:

Actually it had no security. I had to put a filter on my electrical panel to keep out neighbors setup signals from messing with my stuff.

If it has a remote control it might be able to be controlled by the LinknLink

Yeah I am so disappointed in my Nest/Google Home stuff. I think LinknLink makes some inexpensive stuff that works to control air conditioners locally with Home Assistant via MQTT.

Welcome to the rabbit hole!

Sorry to hear about this. I so miss Fred Meyers since I moved to Colorado.

I agree. I love my Home Assistant Yellow with a large NVMe because it is super reliable and simple. I screw up my setups enough that I don’t need hardware issues adding to it 😂

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

I got to work with Citizens Climate Lobby lobby day 2025. I greatly appreciate our meeting with the @hickenlooper.senate.gov staff talking about the Fix Our Forests Act and other environmental and energy issues facing Colorado and the Nation. #CCL2025 #GrassrootsClimate

For #ClimateAction, I really enjoyed our @cclusa.org meeting with my @repdexteror.bsky.social , M.D. last Tuesday in Washington D.C. to talk about ways we can find common ground to #ActOnClimate. #GrassrootsClimate #CCL2025

A painting that's a bit abstract, with a blue background fading to yellow on the right in the foreground is, well an LSD version of Crow from Mystery Science Theater 3000. Two eyes blended into one stare out from under a curved yellow head with green cheek like things on the side. I mean this is really hard to explain except that it looks like Crow.

The plaque for the painting. It's by Arthur Dove in 1941 and I think it's called 1941. It's wax emulsion on canvas.

At the Phillips Collection today I saw this painting. My first thought was, that's Crow T. Robot. My wife walks up behind me and says, "That's Crow T. Robot!"

Household battery rebate smashes forecasts, could deliver twice the energy of Snowy Hydro by 2030 The uptake of household batteries under the new rebate scheme is beating all forecasts. If this continues, it will be delivering twice as much energy as Snowy Hydro by 2030.
