You mean like going to the super market without having a shopping list, buying everything that attracts your attention which all goes out of date in your fridge

You mean like going to the super market without having a shopping list, buying everything that attracts your attention which all goes out of date in your fridge because you forgot you had all that food and not having any time to plan your house hold duties?
- inlined 10y agoI think that's overly harsh. It's closer to wanting to learn how to make cocktails, taking advice from a friend on how to stock a basic bar, but not really feeling comfortable enough with the domain to experiment beyond fixed recipes.
- biot 10y agoNot harsh; it's little different than having a stack of books you bought with great intentions but never got around to reading them.
- function_seven 10y agoSibling comment to mine thinks you're harsh, but I think you nailed it. I have an Arduino and a Raspberry Pi both just sitting around because I never came up with interesting things to do with them. I also have a lot of food in the fridge and pantry that's expired or near-expiring because of the promises I made myself at the supermarket that I've totally reneged on. So, harsh or not, I think you're dead on.
- rthille 10y agoI'm in the same boat wrt hardware, but I've got lots of interesting ideas about things to do with all the devices, just epsilon time to do it in...
