I'll tell you where you can put your freakin' sodie too.

My guess for the downvotes would be that it's just not feasible to vote for policies unless your views align with one of the two major parties, but as it is we're all basically stuck with voting tactically. Had the Alternate Vote gone through in 2011 then this site would no doubt be invaluable.

I've tried a few "third party" smart bulbs as it were but, expensive as they are, nothing comes close to Hue for colour accuracy and general responsiveness. As you didn't specify "cheap", Hue will always be my recommendation.

That said, if you do want "cheap" and want to avoid WiFi then the Innr bulbs are fairly decent for the price. I've got about 15 of their spotlight style bulbs and they were half the price of the Hue alternatives.

Also in the UK but needed no clues. I guess I've been exposed to enough American media to at least be aware of these things.

Had that in a game last night, and then another bulk spawned later in the mission. Only thing is we were playing on Xbox so we don't even have the new season yet.

I have my dock plugged into a smart plug and the laptop set in the BIOS to turn on when it receives power. I have an NFC tag on my coffee machine that I bloop while I'm making my morning brew, and that turns the dock on so that everything's ready when I move into the office.

For turning things off I have HASS.Agent installed and sending state updates (locked, unlocked, etc, which is useful for other automations) and when that sensor goes unavailable for 15 minutes it turns the plug off. I find that's long enough to allow it to reboot for updates and what not.

The sensor does report shutdown, reboot, and sleep states but I found that it often happens too quickly to get the change sent, so the unavailable state is more reliable.

I loved this game. The sequels all went in-engine for their cutscenes and lost a lot of the charm that came with real actors hamming it up in front of a green screen.

Not being from the US/Canada, it took until my late 30s to figure out what this line even meant.

Chop, chop, dig, dig. I hear digging but I don't hear chopping!

It's the one where he and Ned go to Vegas and marry waitresses.

Yeah honestly Eternal should've been a Quake reboot using the new engine rather than a Doom sequel. Everything about it felt like Quake.
