Does anyone get the idea that technology has gone way too far?

Actually, my mistake, it was a ceiling mounted PIR sensor that isn't working reliably. Getting a new one installed. :whistle:

Okay, I'm getting sucked into this whole Alexa thing.

I setup a few dimmer lights for some color tests in my lab. As opposed to making LED arrays and using various transistors and microcontrollers, I bought a whole mess of wifi dimmers and use Alexa to control some commercially available LED lights with all different colors and assorted white ones with different color temperatures.

This way I can change the setting hands free, and take measurements.

Other than Alexa not understanding some of my co-workers commands and him giving her the finger calling her a b**ch, I was able to teach her all the lighting levels I needed.

I'm currently writing a Python code hack of the light controllers originally written by some Russian or Latvian dude, so I can control them from within my program.

Okay, technology hasn't gone too far, yet. . . :whistle:

    • Just curious about people's thoughts on approach shots.  Now, I'm talking about a clear view of the green, not behind a bunker or other obstruction where you have to get the ball really high, and drop like a cat. When out 125,100, 75, 50 yards and less, do you prefer: using a single club like 9i or PW, and feeling the distance to get on the green in your swing using different clubs (9i, PW, GW, etc.) with the same swing part of me thinks that if I can get really comfortable with my favorite club, I can adapt my swing to get it on the green from those distances, especially a light pitch with a 9i from 50 yards, as opposed of hitting a really good full swing with a SW.  
    • I've had fun every time I've gotten together with any of the SandTrap folks, I'm definitely interested in doing it again if its within reasonable driving distance.
    • I listened to Dr. Norton's interview/podcast last year on IIRC, Huberman. Worth listening and yes, demonizing HFCS or sugars in general as independent agents of obesity is at best misinformed. But from a dependent risk perspective the easiest thing for me to remember as a good reason to control sugar intake is that those who tend to have high sugar intake also tend to have high caloric intake.  Outside of genetic factors and type of calories to an extent, in general, caloric surplus continues to be a singularly consistent factor in determining how overweight you are going to. I don't care if you fast for 16-18 hours. or any other time-managed eating. You can only eat so much before you start storing more than you will ever use.
