I said something similar to my wife just a few days ago. She amazes me every day. I may not know you, but your clearly partner sees you like I see my wife, and I am so damn proud of her. I'm proud of you, too.

I, too, installed an open source garage door opener, and I’m loving it

I feel like this is the journey of all automation enthusiasts. We start with a giant dream plan and then reel it into reality. Don't automate everything...just the stuff that makes sense for you. Not that I don't appreciate the dedication involved in complex automation, but our family favorites are the simple ones like opening curtains at sunrise, or dimly turning on the kitchen lights when we walk in for a late night snack. Small things that take away mundane tasks.

A home run: Special needs man becomes bat boy for Evansville baseball team

Reply in thread

The article is poorly written, but refers to a kids team. Evansville does have a pro baseball team, though. The Evansville Otters. They play in the Frontier league, and have been champions twice since starting the team in 1995. They play at Bosse Field, one of the oldest baseball parks in the country. They shot "A League of Their Own" there, actually. Last time I was there (late 90s), it was still decorated as it was in the movie, as the park would have been in the 40s/50s. Amazing place to see a game!

Looking for a new dry herb

Reply in thread

I bought a Solo 2 just last week and have been very impressed. Great battery life, great performance, looks good, and easy to use. Seems to be built like a tank, too. Very solid. I'd recommend based on my limited experience with it.

Married men, how do you and your wife handle personal purchases?

We have a 100% shared income and budget, and each of us has a "Fun Money" category within the budget. We can save and spend from that category with no discussion or judgment. If we spend anything over $500 from a "family" budget category (like Home Improvement), we generally discuss it first.

We work from a $0 budget, so every dollar is assigned a job (category) before it's spent. We meet every couple of weeks to discuss the budget and make adjustments as needed. Has worked incredibly well for us for the last 10 years. I can't remember the last time we argued over finances.

Why don;t more presidents put stuff to a national referendum like Clinton did a couple times? A person would get time off work to vote, show what americans actually want and so on.

Americans do get time off to vote in 28 states. Sounds like yours is not one of them? Don't disagree with your sentiment, but there is law that clearly states employers cannot deny the request or retaliate.
