I would just use the old "Home changes to 0" state, and add a conditional for night (not night) and another for a triggered timer. I call my timer "Nanny mode", and it just blocks 'away from home' automations while it's running. I just need to remember to hit a button on my dashboard once a day or so, starting the 16h timer.

Here's my "set the alarm and lower the blinds when we leave, and put them back when we get home" auto:

You just stumbled onto one of the great hacks of Indian cooking: Onion Masala base. https://myheartbeets.com/indian-onion-masala/ try the butter paneer in this series - so easy, so good.

Fill the reservoir in the bottom to just below the pressure valve with good water. Put the grinds basket/funnel thing on, and full it just barely below full with medium grind beans. Screw on the top, put it on the stove on whatever burner is closest in size, open the lid. Turn on the heat and wait until it finishes and you hear it spurt air, then take it off and pour. Time on the heat should be around 3 min total, so start with a low-mid temp, and adjust up each attempt until you know where that heat level is for your stove. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

These are the best. The Flex Firehose ones may not be super repairable, but they straight up last forever. I wore a rotation of 3 of these for 3 years straight before I saw the first fray.

I'm just waiting for the black hole to form just from the mass of the infinite people between 0-1 on the Reals track.

Cory Booker. I could see him saying it back, and that'd be nice.

Reacher and Baldurs Gate 3. So, either a normal chaotic good BG3 playthrough with a fighter main, and all points in str con, and wis, none in charisma - or another season of Reacher but with mindflayers. Win-win.

On one hand, it would be nice for us to drop the smart plug here, but at least those can be entirely local-only. I highly doubt any device API would be local.

I'm maintenance and building worker, and my profession is much higher on the danger list than cops, so does that mean I'm also a hero (...)?

Yes. Thank you for your service.

I mean, the main character, Westley, is literally The Dread Pirate Roberts. And there's swashbuckling, sailing, and a ragtag group of outlaws who come together despite all odds to fight the crown and take it's treasure (Buttercup).

That's a pirate movie.

I hope someone told you it was a fuchsia by now. Because it's a fuchsia. And a biggun at that. Something like Black Cherry from the looks of it. https://www.portlandnursery.com/perennials/fuchsia
