Ahh, makes sense. Multizone is something I’ll probably end up doing in my house soon, thankfully all my ductwork is exposed in the basement which makes it easy. Thanks appreciate it, I’m going to try to get a prototype board spun in the next week or two, test it out for a bit, and then see if other people are interested in them too. Appreciate the info, I should consider being able to control dampers also.

Cool, I’ve come across this before. I have been looking for a more open thermostat, preferably esp32 based, that I can have good local control over. I have started to do the board layout for one with some air quality sensors built in.

If you don’t mind me asking whats more complicated about your hvac setup? Multistage? Heat pump? Multizone?

They do work pretty well, I’m phasing out the Google homes in my house trying to go completely local, and the voice PEs are pretty good for voice control.

Which one would you recommend?

I agree with this. Along with being open to changing your opinion is understanding that in topics you aren’t an expert in, you don’t even know how much you don’t understand.

I had pretty bad knee pain for a long time. Yoga relieved the pain a ton and ended up helping me identify that my IT band being tight was whats causing the knee pain. It also just generally helps me feel less stiff.

I’ve done a fair bit of yoga in my life, you really have to find an instructor that teaches what you are looking for. Some are more woo woo, some are more about meditation, some are more about strength or flexibility. I found really good instructors at a climbing gym, not a yoga studio.

USB-C. We are clearly progressing. I never want to go back to the world where every phone had a proprietary power brick and connector.

It was AP European history, but, ya, wtf this has been wild

Do you like and get along with him? Would you hang out with him outside of work if you didn’t work with him? I think that’s pretty telling. Adults can be friends, but it is important to separate work life and personal life. Enjoying sometimes time and also depending on them to eat can be messy.

If you wouldn’t want to hang out with him outside of work if you didn’t work with him, I would keep some distance/buffer. If you actually enjoy hanging out outside of work, then just be cautious but it’s probably worth getting to know them.

Hanging out with older generations, especially around people who just have a lot of life experience, is super enriching. Might learn a lot.
