I'm a zigbee fan, mostly because there's such a wide variety of devices.

I almost exlusively use zigbee2mqtt [0] reference to find devices that suit me. Searching for `meter` gives a lot of options, you'd have to do more investigation to find something that supported 40A, but my guess would be that a clamp meter is likely your best option.

It's also possible that you could use one of the DIN rail options in your fusebox, but I haven't looked at the current ratings.

And this will almost certainly be more expensive than plain old cellular. TV manufacturers would be covering a very niche market of people who have a TV in a location with no cellular coverage.

Thank you, this looks ideal. I've wanted a way to do this for a long time.

The Economist did a nice video around some of the issues facing Argentina at the moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18RTtDVghfw

Is this real? Sounds like a very fake Amazon review

I believe the alerts from FEMA cannot be blocked on the device [0]

> Devices may offer the capability to disable most CMAS messages, but end-users must not be able to disable alerts issued by the President or Administrator of FEMA ("National Alert"), as prohibited by the Warning, Alert, and Response Network Act.

I think GP is referring to the dust generated by brake pads. Since EVs can use regenerative braking, there should be less use of the brake pads, and therefore less brake dust.

I would assume that the tyre dust will remain the same

OP is mentioning Postgres as a counterpoint.

There's definitely differences between countries and regions, and I don't have data for it, but the stereotype of Latin American Spanish being slower than Spain has by and large been true in my experience.

Do you think on average Latin American Spanish is spoken at the same speed as Spain?

Edit: And regardless of regional variations I am certain that there are Latin American regions which have a generally slower speed of speech than regions in Spain. So the thing that interests me is whether in that case the Spain Spanish has more pauses etc.

Yes, I agree, Spanish is generally more verbose.

The weird one is that Latin American Spanish is spoken much slower, but with the same information per syllable (presumably). I always wondered if the information rate would actually be the same for Spanish (LATAM) and Spanish (Spain) - my suspicion is that it's lower in LATAM. Perhaps pauses and connective words could account for the difference though?

Mostly unrelated, but there was a study [0] some time ago which said that the information rate of all languages was roughly the same. So if a language had more data conveyed per syllable, then it might be spoken slower for instance.

Yes, I think similarly in Spanish would be `se despidió demasiado` or `se despidió demasiadas veces` if you want `too many times` rather than `too much`. Disclaimer: Spanish is not my first language.

Does demais in portuguese mean too much, or too many times?

Bulbs normally burn out open, breaking the circuit. And in the unusual case that they don't, I would imagine the thin wires leading to the filament will melt, also breaking the circuit.

And if all else fails you your circuit breaker should flip.

If bulbs normally failed short, then you'd have circuit breaker's flipping a lot more often.

Ah but isn't the third party doctrine predicated on the data being voluntarily given to a third party? "a person has no legitimate expectation of privacy in information he voluntarily turns over to third parties."

The 5th amendment protects you from being a witness against yourself [0]. So to me it seems pretty clear that in the US this would not be allowed.

But then again, it seems as though being forced to reveal your password is not necessarily a violation of the 5th amendment [1]. I can't quite understand why the supreme court hasn't made a decision on this one yet. There are a lot of conflicting decisions now.

Do you mean prismatic lenses? I had awful headaches at one point and the optician added prism to my prescription, I don't think the cost changed at all (UK optician).

I believe prismatic lenses are normally used to correct muscle weakness which may cause eye strain (and double vision in severe cases). My prescription was changed back to no prism after a few years.

Edit: siblings are likely correct after reading your comment again. It's likely astigmatism which I also have. But $600 is still ridiculous.

No, but it does take externalities into account, i.e. road tax is based on CO2 emissions.

Regarding car accidents, the US does have a higher rate of deaths per 100k inhabitants [0] than most other countries of similar development. I imagine that's largely because of the lack of public transport and therefore increased number of miles driven by US inhabitants (as well as lower population density perhaps).

OSRS is old school runescape for anyone unfamiliar.

Does anyone know if old accounts would still work? From around 2000 ish.

Isn't it the opposite? I was under the impression that warm water from the Caribbean / equitorial zones was currently brought over to Western Europe and the UK.

If the AMOC collapses, that heat will presumably stay in the tropics, and North Western Europe will cool.

I'm guessing the 4chan board?

The author, David Seddon, is also the author of the package [0]. So I'm guessing Kraken was an initial user.

There's an app called indrive [0] which does exactly this. You submit a bid, drivers can accept or propose a different price.

Works well in my experience, though I think largely only popular in Latin America at the moment.

Yes, unfortunate naming collision.

Could be! I imagine I also notice the difference because I usually use UHT when I've run out of fresh milk. So the taste of coffee with fresh milk is pretty recent, vs travelling to another country.

I'm sure if I was using UHT every day I'd start to forget the difference.

I also looked into this and couldn't find any reliable information on what pasteurisation method was actually used in the UK.

I did find that US allows the use of hormones to increase milk production. Possibly that's a factor? But very difficult to tell.

I'm surprised you can't tell the difference between UHT and regular milk. I've tried a few brands in the UK, and there's a clear difference in tea / coffee, and it's particularly marked if you're drinking milk on its own.

Maybe the UK is lagging behind on UHT? Or I'm just buying the wrong brand.
