Looks like it is less than half the price at AliExpress if you don’t mind waiting a couple of weeks for it. Controlling a light would be trivial with a computer or microcontroller. If you use a Particle Proton, ESP32, or ESP8266 (at $20, ~$10, ~$5 respectively) you can control it wirelessly. I wouldn’t use a Pi as it

Might be a case for “why not both”. I do find Echo more useful because I have Prime and Audible. I’m tempted to install the “ask Google” skill and ditch my Google Home. Google does handle strange questions a lot better though.

Don’t forget to also run in circles. It helps attract attention.

I’d also like to know that, in addition to how well the microphone array on these perform compared to the Echo Dot. It’s more important than quality of speakers, especially since the only thing we know for sure about this one is that it is louder.

Dude, I don’t know if that’s enough to get you on the Secret Service’s shit list, but regardless, being on some fictional character’s list is not going to make any difference. Cheetos need to be humiliated at the polls. Hit him where it hurts - in the ego.

“Google Fit says you’re gaining weight again, Ironzey. I’m not heating up that slice of pizza. I’m turning off the heat to encourage you to get out of the house and get some exercise. If you don’t leave, I’m going to start playing Nickelback.”

I didn’t realize it is possible for someone to make Sean Spicer look good by comparison. Of course, I also didn’t realize that it is possible for someone to make George W. look good by comparison, so it goes to show how little imagination I have.

Scientists knew something strange happened when they heard reports of a raft of floating rock near New Zealand back in 2012

The one that Adam Savage unboxed is much larger, but appears unpainted. This one is 4.7 inches in diameter.

I want to see Moonbase Alpha, Eagle transporters flying around, and especially the explosion at the nuclear waste site.

How does this excuse the rest of his “bein’ an asshole in Japan” series?

You may want to check the weight of this guy before you hit the Buy button. Lead acid cells are not known for being lightweight, and I doubt you could do this with the Duracell.

An order of magnitude is 10x difference. Other than that quibble, agree with what you said.

Quick googling says iPhone X has a 2716 mAh battery. At 3.7V that would be about 10 Wh. This battery is 660 Wh, which is 66x larger, but factoring in loss from inefficiency, etc., 48 times sounds reasonable.

Yes, but I don’t want my $200 sleeve to get dirty or scratched, so I put it in a sleeve.

I had a sleeve that had some measure of impact resistance - won’t really protect against a drop greater than 1 ft though. OK, how about a sleeve to keep it from getting scratched and dirty?

Looks like the Heaven’s Gate folks picked the wrong comet?

Dude, whatever you’re smoking, can you share?

You are comparing $28k in 1997 with $29k in 2023. Adjusted for inflation, your $28k in 1997 is ~$43k today. The minimum wage in California today is $11. Using your numbers, they’re making $21.5k, or half of what you did as an Ensign. And you got way better benefits.
