  • I would really recommend fixing the wiring before investing any money in home automation.

    Don’t build advanced sensitive low voltage systems on top of shaky high voltage systems that can melt and destroy them. Not having enough outlets because of old shoddy wiring is inconvenient when you can’t plug stuff in and waste time running extension cords, it’s expensive because you end up buying that much copper to run extension cords, it’s expensive because shoddy wiring can easily fry electronics, and it’s tragic and expensive when it burns your house down.






  • And your point is wrong because you keep boiling it down to simple black and white.

    The Nobel prize is not purely political and is not devoid of merit.

    The world is not full of binary systems. It’s made of multi variable systems where multiple influences can be true at the same time.

    If you want to make a point about why accurately predicting the structure of hundreds of thousands of proteins doesn’t deserve the Nobel in chemistry then I’m all ears. Please tell us all exactly why you think their prize was political and not meritocratic, and why predicting protein structures automatically is not important?

    Because if you can’t answer that very specific question, then you weren’t making a point relevant to the conversation, you were making a snide generalization to hear yourself speak.



  • Lmao, it’s binary cause you say it’s binary.

    Bro grow up. The world is not black and white. Literally not a single award on the planet is meritocratic if you insist on dealing in absolutes. Every award is awarded by some committee and there is some room left for human judgement, which leaves room for human bias, which makes it not perfectly meritocratic.

    If you want to go an unhinged rant that no one wants to listen to then email the nobel association directly, don’t waste federated server time.
