I worked for a small “mom and pop” style roofing company for a few years while going to school, and when the owner decided to retire he just gave me the pickup I’d used. That was 10 years ago or so. Still got it, and still love it. It’s a 2000 Mazda B3000 with extended cab and a toolbox. The paint is peeled and the windows/locks/everything are manual but it starts, runs, hauls like a champ. I’ve got a little piece of land and it’s the VIP around here. Boy I tell you whut.

I got auto-banned after commenting on a reddit post because the bot searched my entire post history and found I had commented on NSFW threads in the past! The extra fun part was that I really hadn’t. The NSFW threads were from subs that had turned that flag on for all posts out of protest for Reddit’s closed API debacle. In short, exactly as you describe. Intending to quash the revolution.

But if there is some sort of breathing technique that works

The purpose of this post was to try to find an answer to this question

Can someone please explain the meaning of the last panel?

Hmph. I spend ten minutes making a stupid meme using this ridiculously opaque phone markup app, only to be immediately downvoted. This is what I get for trying to elevate the quality of political discourse.

Wow, thank you! This is by far the most helpful answer. I will take a stab at grokking this paper.

Because I don’t always have an N95 mask on my person? Because I can’t always 100% control my environment, but I can almost always exercise some control over how I breathe?

 

Hello, and thank you in advance.

I'm making a privacy friendly "ring" cam/doorbell following this guide: https://tristam.ie/2023/758/ which has been great, but requires running a micro-usb cable down to the doorbell for power. I'm hoping to improve on this by using the existing doorbell power instead.

The problem is that I'm a DIY electronics noob and I can't create a mental model for how it should all work. The picture I attached is my existing doorbell wiring scheme, which is as simple as it comes. I totally get how this works. Pressing the doorbell completes the circuit and makes the bingbongs. But this will have to change so the new door cam gets power full time. Ideally without the chime bingbonging full time.

In addition to the ESP-32CAM, button, ring lights, etc., I also bought these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079FJSYGY which I thought might be needed to complete the circuit?

I measured the voltage after the transformer and it was around 18 volts, but maybe this is AC and I want DC?

Generally I don't know where in "the loop" to put things. Also, all the existing components are very far apart from each other, so I would love a solution that doesn't involve running any new wires through the walls.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!!
