We had two of the dumb versions in the kitchen and I was forbidden to install anything smart in there until I found something similar. Then a year later, they made the smart version.

10/10 would recommend, it's expensive since you'll also need a hub, but I've had less issues with them than my Hue's at this point.

I've got a z-wave dimmer and every now and then it'll just flip out and start dimming the light for no reason (goes to 1% and then rises to 100%) and needs to be power cycled to fix.
I've got my Kasa dimmers, but they just feel cheap. I've started hiding those away for locations they're not really needed to be touched (attic lights, closet lights, etc...)

OP -- I would whole heartedly second @lemming741 's recommendation. They're very good and very intuitive to use in a non-smart fashion as well.

ETA: I've had internet die and they continued working as well.

Same, but the Vue 1.

Works very well by my panel looks a fuckin' mess because of it!

OP, it's not 'money is no object' because it's actually pretty cheap, but it's actually very easy to flash and install, so, if I were to do it again, I'd probably choose the same hardware since it went pretty smoothly.

Forgejo: for when you really don't want to have to sanitize your scripts and don't want to leak passwords, but want version control and a nice webui

Right‽ The fight for 15 is like 20 fucking years old now and we're still not actually there!

Might as well go for 50 at this rate since it'll take fucking forever before we get anywhere

Right?! I was way more conservative in my teens and have gone way further to the left and less conservative as I've aged.

"When you buy a house you'll understand" ... yeah, nope, maybe it's the fact that it took 3 of us to buy the house instead of ONE salary being able to, but, nope - still not a crazy jackass who has no empathy just to keep my property taxes low.

ETA: Gen Z is great. I love the no fucks given attitude in the workplace and they're a fucking inspiration.

In a right to work stste

Some cities and counties have additional protections, but at the state level, the only one that's not at-will is Montana and the entire population of that state would fit in a single decently sized city. So, I think that's a distinction that wasn't really necessary, but you do you.

Aw man! I thought they raced the owls!

No wonder I lost my bet!

I'd say support, whether it be official or unofficial is a thing you didn't mention.

Try googling any printer you're looking at + any random common error (not sticking to bed, not heating up, slicer options, etc...) and see what kind of results pop up and if they look helpful.
Look up parts costs and see how they look and if they're proprietary or not.
See if there are official maintenance recommendations, etc..,

One of my printers is one that has ZERO support from the community and what you can get from the manufacturer is limited and it kind of sucks when I have problems with it.

Enders for all their faults at least have an insane community support (note: in 2024 I would never recommend an Ender 3/5 as a first printer).

My most reliable printer is a Qidi Smart-3 ... vendor support has been great and the Facebook groups for it have been good too. The downsides: z-offset is manual & it's 185x185 which is pretty tiny and it's a bit of a pain to change the filament.
Upsides: core xy, fast, reliable, klipper
From what I've seen though, quality control is hit or miss, but the manufacturer seems to take care of you, so YMMV, mine hasn't had problems that weren't self induced.

Meh, I assumed the same until I read the article lol, Science Minister too, so about as far from a religious one as you can get!

Governmental Minister, not a religious one.

To add to what herrcaptain said, her saying that being a Republican in Hollywood was like being a Jew during the Holocost seemed to have been the breaking point.

Before that she also made a lot of tweets making fun of pronouns and such too, but nothing overtly hateful, so she had managed to skate by until she upped the stupidity.

I think aliens would be horrified by so many things we do (or don't do!) that wearing an entertainment device on your face wouldn't even break the top 100.

ETA: The guy in the cyber truck though. That might get shown as an example in some of the other items in their list.
