My wage doesn’t have a cost of goods sold line item. If I take in $5b and make $5.5b in revenue, $300m is > 1/2 of my net profit

Watching Kimbo Slice beat the shit out of people in random back yards was peak. Beat the hell out of needing to download the whole thing before watching it like you had to do with Red vs Blue

It’s 5 volts no matter where you are because you charge it via USB.

I’ll ship one to you if you want

Not multistage, but it’s a heat pump with auxiliary heat. I have multiple zones controlled by dampers, too, soni have two of these thermostats.

I bought a Honeywell Z-Wave thermostat because I have a more complicated HVAC setup than the typical American home.

If Google assistant ends up dying this is the way I’ll be going with. I’ve already got HA up, I’m just using stuff that predates my HA setup.
