I've been doing home automation for a long time. I just got a house that I own that I'm excited to jazz out. That said, I built up an ideology that any automation added should never replace physical items. All automation should ha

Tabloids are not different than much of the shitposting some people do on the internet. They'll take one small truth and extrapolate it into an entire learned lesson based on smoke and mirrors. The gossip end is just kind of gross to m

I can't imagine there being a solution to rats in sewers. NYC is a sprawling city and the sewers are necessarily large and must be put in place where they can be dug up and replaced. I feel like the more sustainable option is above gro
