> A rational company

I've never worked at a rational company. I'm not sure that's a thing.

One might argue (successfully, I'm not sure) that the influencer referral link program was a form of Ponzi scheme.

Volvo's Epic Split comes to mind.

I thought they used Starshield and not Starlink now? Doesn't USAF control that?

Three words: glue on pizza.

If that's your best argument, billionaires are in trouble.

I am not sure I'm OK with the fact that people like this are allowed to set the stage, much less roam free.

Something is wrong somewhere, because I've had ~15 of those and battery life is 16-20 months for me (I use Battery Notes in HA which keeps a timestamp since you last changed the battery so I have a pretty good view into battery life). I have not adjusted reporting thresholds/intervals in zigbee2mqtt.

They're really annoying to pair though, so I've replaced most of them with Sonoff SNZB-02P which runs a CR2477 battery and I expect the battery life to be at least 3 years; with some luck maybe 4? Not as slim however, but the built-in magnet makes up for it.

I really don't get this meme. AAA batteries are terrible for most (not all) sensors because it makes the sensors enormous. Like the newer door/window contact sensors. Coin cells aren't expensive, which people often claim. Maybe if you buy them 1 by 1 at the grocery store. If you get the right sensors, battery life can be 2-3 years.

Like, IKEA's Zigbee water leak sensor (BADRING?) with 2 AAAs (1.2V; they don't like 1.5V) has a battery life of 9-12 months. My Aqara water leak sensors (CR2032) have been going strong for at least 3 years. They predate me starting to track it with Battery Notes and that has to be 3 years ago (and yeah I test their functionality every 6 months or so).

No human will read that though.

The US also has insane stuff, yes. Romex stapled to studs, impossible to change, fix or renovate without tearing up the walls.

Balloon framing itself isn't crazy though: look at Scandinavia (maybe excluding Norway since their electrical system is a bit... special) for the same type of home construction (Western Framing Construction or whatever it's called), but with in-wall conduit and star system like in continental Europe.

Cute optimism.

Attractive people: shipped off to Epstein islands

The rest: medical experiments, weapons testing and biomass

Cool, can I get my right Ctrl key back? Didn't find a solution to un-Copilot it for my HP laptop on Linux since its keyboard firmware immediately sends a keyup after 3 ms even when the key is held down.

Harsh but true. It's the same phenomenon as defending the BS 1363 power plug that needed an embedded fuse because their domestic postwar electrical wiring was Not Great -- to save on copper.

But we all do this with our own stanky poop.

If they truly, truly believed that, would they be speeding towards building it? If yes, that would make them truly insane, right? Not as in a quaint "off their rocker" but more "non compos mentis".
