I'm a dorky inflatable latex coyote! Linux nerd, baker, some 3D things as I learn. Also love latex. The material, not the typography thing.

Pride month

Oh good, a trans erasure post in pride month, excellent.

I knew dyspraxia was a potential one, but I've met shockingly few ADHD folks with it, at least the same flavors of very-fine motor impact I have with it.

It doesn't help that it's not a mental disorder, but a biological one, largely neurological, that we understand a lot about one of the brain-structure causes now.

The problem is that doom scrolling and repeated exposure to bursts of endorphins creates a physiological syndrome that mimics some of the symptoms of ADHD due to slightly similar reasons, but not all of them.

United flight forced to turn around because of a Bluetooth speaker name

The real reason is because some jackass turned their Bluetooth speaker on during a flight.

Flashbacks to his first presidential win. X.x

In the 2016 US presidential election aftermath, a false but repeated claim stated Harambe received over 15,000 write-in votes.

While there's a super small possibility this is thanking those 'voters' (when has fact checking ever mattered there), it's probably just working off the same meme idea that powered that rumor to begin with.

SBA #119 maths

The real answer is "what's the fucking context for how these numbers are being used?"

If it's "just as written on a test" I think asking for clarification on order would be accepted.

If it's an actual context of some kind then that alone dictactes the way you solve it.

Can't quickly come up with a word problem for this one though.

Whisper turning a number into a word fucked my next water bill

Yes, I'm aware that ML is a field of computer math artificial intelligence. But purposefully trotting that out is tantamount to doing unpaid work for Sam Altman at this point since in parlance nearly everyone uses "AI" as shorthand for modern generative AI systems as well as the hype itself.

Which thus...no, it wasn't called AI before, it was generally referred to as machine learning or neural networks with that implying it was AI (math) before it became labeled as AI (hype).

This feels like really unnecessary pedantry.

Yep. In the fix I linked I set it up to default to a word if it fails the template instead, so it'll then check for a match to that word ("fail") and if so it just falls back to 5 minutes and will tell me as much.

Going to be a hell of a lot better about that in the future though. Was definitely a rookie mistake on my part to assume that just because it'd worked every time I'd tested it, used it, and with timers and all thus far that it would always work 100% of the time. Why assume when you can validate? I do in code I write... Guess I don't think about it in the same way with HA as much, oops.
