I'm hoping that you can revive some of the fitness tracking features of the Basis B1/Peak smart watches. I especially loved the galvanic skin response and skin temperature monitoring with the air temperature sensing. It was amazing to be able to identify stress by comparing these values.

I could literally identify when I was in an job interview or going dancing without just relying on my heart rate. My heart rate during the interview was relatively flat but elevated; however, my galvanic skin response spiked hard (sweating) and my skin temperature dipped without a similar air temperature change. On the other hand while dancing, I had reactive heart rate, varying galvanic, and rising skin/air temperature (lots of warm bodies).

Jonathan Katz Moses, Stumpy Nubs, and The Wood Whisperer all have different videos like that. And then there's all kinds of channels that do pro, journeyman, novice builds of the same idea, sometimes as competition.

Her Kickstarter does have tiers with brackets/shelves, so yeah, that's already there too.

Too much trial and error and throwing everything they know at it until it gets close enough to the desired look. I have one co-worker that has taken off after I showed him how to use dev tools and another that's still trying to guess their way through the problem after showing them how to use dev tools.

It's common enough that you recognize that you need to use a chromium browser, that's entirely too common. As a recent example, UPS tracking was/is broken on Firefox.

18W CPU peak power, 10W is their power efficiency comparison point.

For reference, 50 hectares (123 acres) is a small farm for an ag community/family. It's not the least bit surprising that they are low profit. Several members of my extended family farm at and above that acreage and a majority of my grandfather's farmland is leased out to a larger family operation since he's retired. Those family members mostly have regular 40/week jobs, since they're just hobby farms.

> In a true capitalistic society government should not be involved in transactions or take important decisions about this.

Even under a purely capitalist system, if there is a suspicion of malfeasance in such a transaction, it is reasonable for the government or others to ask for more clarity. Blackmail, bribery, embezzlement, or other bad faith agreements can introduce legal proceedings, none of those things are permissible under capitalism.

Is there any study data comparing these kinds of thermometer boxes? They look like mini hotboxes that can heat up like a car left in the sun.

edit: someone posted a wiki link for Stevenson screen below just after I asked.

A 75% or compact format is more inline with how I think I want to use something like this. Then this would be an easy upgrade from my WASD.

It seems very similar to McCarthyism and the anti-communist messages from the late '40s and early '50s like the "loyalty review boards", just with wider media available in the modern world. McCarthyism also adopted similar conspiracy theories concerning vaccinations, mental health care, and fluoridation.
