Or a dull knife lol

Agreed, I'd take a square and a story stick of sorts over a tape measure

Sadly it's more common than I'd like everywhere I've worked too

I'll be honest, I'm a bit jealous of his confidence.

My journey into it started as I was getting out of religion. Listening to debates about religion had several general philosophy references, so I read about those topics. I had some conversations with a buddy claiming "that's Marxist, that's Socialist" whatevers, and I wanted to learn what those things actually meant and why they scared so many people etc. Basically me not meshing with the ideological beliefs of my peers sent me down some deep rabbit holes lol.

No doubt, but (as a new "convert") most places aren't really set up for a proper plant based meal around me. There are a few options, but if I go out with the family or something I'm delgated to a plate of plain veggies or a pointless salad lol. I hope at least some day that a plant based chicken is as ubiquitous as the impossible/beyond patty

That's pretty cool, I'm just hoping more plant based "chicken" options come to north America. I missed the window to try the McPlant, and it's a little annoying there's only really "beef" options.

I can see it being a new idea being greenlit, but based on what it turned out to be, I would agree lol

I had no idea it even got a second season tbh

[–] Nednarb44@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Well that was anticlimactic, but I appreciate the information

I'm probably missing something, but what are the two bumps in December and Feb from?

Against some better judgement, I did direct burial. I did consider walkie talkies, but heard doesn't work well in a metal barn (I confirmed I basically have zero cell reception). I could look at adding the antenna though, thats not a bad idea.

 

I'm looking for a better, more private solution to an intercom I have between the house and my barn. I have Ethernet run out there, and I currently use the "drop-in" feature on some Amazon echo devices. I'm looking to get away from the Amazon devices entirely (maybe implementing the pine speaker they announced?)

I don't have a lot of requirements, though VoIP would be preferred over a radio style, since it's a metal barn and blocks a lot of signals. I'm good with some self hosted solution, and ideally there's a dedicated device, as I don't want to use my phone or computer for it all the time. I'm probably missing some obvious solution, but figured I'd try to get some ideas together.

Thoughts?
