Not only does this happen with TV/movies I get it with everything. Whether or not I’m trying to pay attention.

The worst is being unable to process a word or two when someone is talking. I’ve tried all sorts of strategies, almost always the person talking restarts from the beginning and I cannot process the exact same bit. I’ve asked a speech pathologist I was seeing about it. She had not heard of it and said she couldn’t find anything the next week either.

To be slightly absurd: Every day is a day you are one year older than the same day the previous year

Like others in the thread my smart devices only talk to locally hosted home assistant. I use a few automations to make things easier. My favourite is being able to run open garage door while approaching my house. It opens the garage door and unlocks the door from the garage to the house. I could manually do these steps but it is nice to be able to carry whatever directly from the car to the house without needing to unlock the door.

The other nice one is automating the holiday lights. I would forget to turn them on or off regularly. Since adding the automation they turned on every evening and off around bedtime every night. I have used one of those light sensor units in the past, but it would often get covered in snow and stop working until I remembered to brush it off.

A game of battleshits would have had the potential to improve the mood.

You’ll still need dual monitors if you want to read the whole class names.

I hate that spoon too

Mine would be but unfortunately my sent box is just /dev/null
