Alchemy

Stellaris. I was getting destroyed by an empire that wanted to terminate me. So not good 😂

Funnily enough I was just about to upgrade devices, thanks for this!

Can confirm these are very sensitive. Mine is the other side of the house and picks up when we’re cooking

Smart Home Scene is great!

Absolutely this. Sadly these days hard work is very rarely rewarded!

Just be aware you do lose some of the nice features the hue bridge has. They can be replicated in home assistant. But it’s a bit more hassle!

Yep! With zigbee2mqtt you even get bulb firmware updates too 😎

Shout out for Bean that isn’t even on that poll 👀

I settled on using Bean. Great app!

I’m looking forward to trying template entity helpers.

Having to do them in YAML is frustrating to say the least…

Definitely not procrastinating at work, honest

Yeah I think this is a big one for me.

I come back after a major patch or every 6 months and its all changed again! Which is good as it keeps it fresh, but the tutorial is very lacking on the changes.

I’ve only really used them when theres a 0% offer and I’ve been making a big purchase. I use my debit card day-to-day.

This I agree with. Stellaris is very confusing starting out and such a huge learning curve the tutorial just doesn’t cover.

I would definitely tie both shoes again!

We eat out about once every 2 weeks. We used to eat out quite a bit as I got really bored of the food at home.

I do really enjoy cooking, but its hard to come up with meal ideas. We then started getting meal kits (Gousto) and now we’re really happy to eat at home as the meals are fresh, easy to cook and always different. I could get the ingredients cheaper, but its very convenient as a meal kit and theres no waste.

Because the meal kits are very tasty, it does mean however when we do go out we find cheaper places are now poor quality, so will go somewhere nicer to eat. Still cheaper than eating out as much as we did before though!

Yep, not used it since Apollo died.

Saying that I do miss some communities, but I’ve resisted going back so far!
