This is probably silly for the #homeassistant geeks, but being a n00b of #homeautomation, I find it cool...
We use a #sterilizer for our #daughter #babybottles . Once sterilized, can be used in 24 hours, otherwise must be sterilized again, as per OMS guidelines.
We always forget when the bottles have been sterilized, so I connected the sterilizer to a #smartplug that can monitor power and created an homeassistant sensor based on the power usage, so we know when the last sterilization run has finished! Spouse-approved!

"Tossing and turning."

One of our daughters currently has problems sleeping --- she finds it hard to fall asleep, and she wakes up easily and then panics. We do what we can to re-assure her and give her stability, hopefully it's temporary.

When she talks about it, she keeps using the phrase

"I'm tossing and turning and can't sleep."

I find that so sweet. My wife and I never use this idiom, ever, and when she is awake she just lies there and neither tosses nor turns. But the phrase is in the air and saying it somehow seems to anchor her. I love her so much.

Google-Backed Chatbot Platform Caught Hosting AI Impersonations of 14-Year-Old User Who Died by Suicide

Google continues to cause harm by funding garbage AI. The only way to stop them is through #legislation and #litigation.

💔 They continue to allow myself and my family to be harmed by not protecting my #daughter after promising they had done so. THEY ARE LIARS.

Have you been harmed by them yet? Have your friends? Your students?

❓Who will Google and CharacterAI harm next?

These #techbro ghouls CANNOT be trusted. Help us stop them.

Futurism · Google-Backed Chatbot Platform Caught Hosting AI Impersonations of 14-Year-Old User Who Died by SuicideBy Maggie Harrison Dupré

Good morning tooting friends. It’s nearly 17c already but it feels quite chilly as there’s a cool breeze, we’re heading for 30c today & it looks like it’ll be in the 30’s for the next week at least. #Weather.
I think I’m going to head to the pool 🏊🏼‍♀️ again this morning. Due to school swim carnivals the time for lone swimmers is difficult to find & today is the last day there is no carnival. Plus I like swimming & there won’t be too many weeks left before it starts getting a lot cooler. #Exercise #Swimming.
Thirty four years ago today my beautiful daughter was born, it was another 2wks until I actually met & held her & another 3wks after that before she was officially declared as my daughter. It was quite a stressful time as it all happened in another country with a language I didn’t understand but it’s been the best thing I have ever done. My daughter has grown to be an incredibly loving, caring woman & mother in her own right. She hold my heart ❤️ #Family #Daughter #Adoption.
Wishing all a wonderful #Thursday. Enjoy your day as I’ll enjoy mine.
