So it looks like the cool kids over in Melbourne have a daily thread bot. Should we make one of our own or leave it up chance?
The eternal dilemma of staying in bed or making a coffee continues.
Let’s get this party started!
My morning ritual:
Weekends: stay in bed as long as possible, if it’s cold use home assistant to turn on my heater from bed. Get up, have coffee.
Workdays: alarm goes off, turn on heater using home assistant from bed, get out of bed after 10-15 minutes, coffee, shower/etc, go to work.
As for the daily threads, I say yes, automate them. Hopefully it can help make the community more active.
In the past, I’ve configured the heater to turn on automatically (disabling when away or in warmer weather).
It often gets coldest around 5am, so I used to schedule it to come on around 4am and then off at 6:30am.
These days I’ve got different setup (later work start + WFH) and don’t need it, but that method made it so much easier to get out of bed for my early commute for a couple of winters.
Me1: Get out of bed and make a coffee.
Me2: But it’s warm and i have lemmy working on multiple apps now, I can scroll aimlessly for hours still.
Me1: Yes but the sooner you get up and make a coffee the sooner you’ll be drinking coffee. You really want that coffee.
Me2: Yeah but if I get up I’ll have to make the bed, have a shower, put the kettle on, wash a few dishes, hang out the clothes I forgot to hang out yesterday and there’s so much to scroll and see. It’s cold out there.
Me1: You’ll be warm in no time now get up and stop whining. Coffee, coffee, coffee. We needs it.
Me1: Sleep in, go back to sleep you need it.
Me2: Coffee, put wood on the fire the house is fucking freezing.
Me1: fine, you win, bastard.
Me2:fire, coffee, browse Lemmystuff, procrastinate, pre-emptive dread of post procrastination existential crisis, coffeex4.
Coffee is good, caffeine increases the effect of painkillers like paracetamol and ibuprofen
(I’m displeasedly rugged up at home with the worst cold I’ve ever gotten, it’s almost as unpleasant as the plague but isn’t)
Going to Bunnings, anyone need anything?
I had a good long think about it and there’s nothing I need, that I know of. Will I regret this? Are you an agent of Big Hardware? Is this a psyop?
