Howdy folks,

I'm in search of a game cam type set up for monitoring chicken laying habits. Basically a motion activated camera that takes pictures or video when a chicken goes into a nesting box.

I've done some research, but it's kind of a SEO shitshow on Google, with 10,000 different options. I want something real simple that just takes an SD card, no wireless network crap.

Ideally not crazy expensive.

Thanks in advance.

Definition: "gay music video night" is a friendgroup activity wherein you and your friends rotate in choosing music videos to show one another. This often emerges organically as opposed to being planned, and as a subset of a larger hangout, e.g. as a pregame activity or winding down. The reason that it's called "gay music video night" is that this activity/ritual is often partaken by queer male friendgroups, and for the veneration of their favourite female pop idols (though no music video is excluded here; please share whatever you wish!)

Ok now that everyone has been briefed: Chrissy Chlapecka truly continues to gag me. Like her cunt level is just so powerful.

She started off with Brat, which was admittedly a studio space and a dream, and still ate down

And now she's putting out incredible videos like Andromeda (which had an insane production turnaround time???)

We need to be including her in the conversation. Her strap stays down my throat and her pleaser on my neck, and I thank her. Chrissanie Chlapenotta You Will Always Be Famous 😍😍😍

Newcomb's problem is a thought experiment where you're presented with two boxes, and the option to take one or both. One box is transparent and always contains $1000. The second is a mystery box.

Before making the choice, a supercomputer (or team of psychologists, etc) predicted whether you would take one box or both. If it predicted you would take both, the mystery box is empty. If it predicted you'd take just the mystery box, then it contains $1,000,000. The predictor rarely makes mistakes.

This problem tends to split people 50-50 with each side thinking the answer is obvious.

An argument for two-boxing is that, once the prediction has been made, your choice no longer influences the outcome. The mystery box already has whatever it has, so there's no reason to leave the $1000 sitting there.

An argument for one-boxing is that, statistically, one-boxers tend to walk away with more money than two-boxers. It's unlikely that the computer guessed wrong, so rather than hoping that you can be the rare case where it did, you should assume that whatever you choose is what it predicted.

In theory of course. And please refrain from telling me why a global revolution would not work.

Hello,

yes, I use Instagram even though I don’t like it because well all of my friends does and I can’t convince them to use something else. it’s really sad how hard it is to convince people to join open networks specially in fascist country like India where people are just boot lickers of politicians and rich people. but I digress.

I found the other day that google analytics can be easily tricked since it doesn’t verify the input. you can just open network tab and watch for any request going to https://www.google-analytics.com/ and just copy that request as curl command now you can tweak the parameters of the query and it will just accept it. ig, you can say I have 1920x1080 monitor and google will just accept it. it’s an effective way to fill up google analytics with garbage data to the point that it’s harder to separate real data from the garbage data.

now I want to know if there is something similar to poison data of Instagram/Facebook/Meta. I opened network tab on instagram.com but couldn’t find anything interesting.

any help would be appreciated! :)

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a device to install Home Assistant on to manage a smart thermostat, a programmable light bulb (on and off), and another lamp in my house. Since I'll be doing other work in the future, I want to use Home Assistant to be ready for the future.

That said, I'm looking for a device (a Mini PC, a Pi, etc.) that consumes very little power, as I'll be using it exclusively for this purpose. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

I need new low beam bulbs for my 2007 Toyota Tundra SR5 Double Cab 4.7L. Low beam is H11. No fog lights. I drive rural Maine roads so it is truly dark, but I am in town too. Oncoming headlights are brutal for my vision, so I care about clean beam pattern and glare control, not just something that looks bright.

My headlight lenses are hazed and yellow. I am leaning toward a restore kit, but I keep seeing advice to replace the whole headlight assemblies. I want to avoid cheap aftermarket housings that scatter light, leak, or haze again rapidly.

For anyone who has dealt with this, what H11 low beam bulb recommendations do you have that work well in the stock housings? Halogen options welcome. LED options only if they keep a clean pattern and do not throw glare everywhere.

And, should I restore, or do the full housing replacement? If you replaced, which brand was actually decent and held up through winter?

Beam pattern pics against a garage door or real road shots would be awesome!

I've heard this before, but haven't found it the case personally. I started work in manual jobs and messing around with computers was my evening hobby. Many years later, I now do IT as a job (partly from gaining skills from that hobby) but also have continued it as my primary thing to do when I'm not working. I was worried when I changed into this career that my hobby would become too much like work to be enjoyable, but I've not found that.

Is this the same for other people, or am I unusual in doing something in my off hours that's so close to my career? I'm genuinely curious to know if others have found the same or whether they found another hobby.

Water usage is probably my biggest. Living in a high desert, my wife and MIL see no problem with filling one side of the sink with hot soapy water to wash a few dishes because “that’s just how I’ve always done it”, to watering the grass and plants for hours. All of this makes me mental.

I'm kind of sick of being a dev. I hate AI with a passion.

I hate the hallucinations, I hate slop, I hate megacrops, I hate the environmental impacts, I hate the massive costs. I could go on but you get the picture.

At work I often times have to review vibe code slop from people who clock in 9 to 5 and don't give a fuck (I respect that, I just wish your fucking code wasn't slop)

I'm sick of it, I'm sick of hearing about AI tooling or new models or bro agentic actions bro based on your documentation bro.

I want to switch careers, so which career is not ruined by AI?

In Michigan, we have a 10¢ deposit on cans and bottles. They're refunded by feeding empties into a machine that counts them up. But there are never enough machines, so a line forms. And right now I'm watching 7 dopes inspect each container individually before feeding it into the machine.

So I was wondering, is it possible to hypnotize a person who has Aphantasia. Now, before you get into a debate that a human cannot just make another human to run on commands. I'm no talking about this kind of hypnotism.

Where an expert in this field guide his/her patient/client to close their eyes and imagine a bunch of scenarios to calm their mind, I'm talking about this kind.

What will happen if a client turned out to have aphantasia?

Will the expert be successful in his/her method?

Governments will change, people on the top might change. The question is whether they will face any consequences for their actions. Will the US as a whole face any consequence of its actions. Like the consequences other countries face when they do the stuff America is doing right now.

Or will it be back to normal as soon as the regime changes.

Will there be any lasting effects in how the world deals with US?

What is the best way to react, if someone calls you a degenerate? Just leave them, remembering the insult?

This type of insult targets disabled people specifically?

I'm getting back into MtG - Really I never left, but all my friends who played have moved + I lost all my good decks in a move myself. Now some of my other friends have started playing, and though I hate universes beyond, I enjoy the game.

I don't want to spend a bajillion on cards however, but I also don't want to play with paper cutouts or proxies. It's silly, but I like the cardboard for some reason. And I'd really like to regain some of my old decks, which were from Return to Ravnica/Original Innistraad era.

So I'm looking for a good printshop that prints good-looking Magic cards. I hear some shops in China have gotten better than WOTC at printing.
I'm in the EU.

Anyway, I'd love to get some recommendations. Please help me out.

-Hi, I've been looking for help with my mod for a long time. I've searched in Facebook groups, Discord, and Twitter, but no one has helped me. I'm not offering money; the only thing I can offer is commissioned artwork in exchange. I never wanted to ask here, but I don't know where else to look, and I really want to finish this personal project that's been stuck in limbo for over a year. If you're interested, it's about the game Onmyoji adapted to FnF.

I take a 2 hour commute to school every day. My Stanley thermos, which was gifted to me by my very consumerist aunt, doesn't keep my moka pot coffee hot for 2 hours.

Although it is a pretty good thermos it seems to be leaking a lot of heat from the metal section near the cap.

Is there any thermos that has every section of it isolated? Like, I shouldn't even be able to tell if there is a hot liquid inside
