I’d caution against getting into this career field right this moment. They are already working on replacing humans in this space.

True, but the FDA gained the power to regulate tobacco products in 2009.

It makes me sick to say it, but Trump is right on this one. If the FDA hadn’t cracked down so hard on open systems, sketchy disposable vapes wouldn’t be as prolific as they are now.

The FDA implemented the PMTA (Premarket Tobacco product Application) process. This means that anything vaping related must get their approval before it can be sold in the US.

This sounds good on the surface, but it’s not for two reasons: products without nicotine are considered tobacco products, and literally every SKU has to go through the process.

A single application costs over $250,000. This means if you are an eliquid manufacturer and have 5 flavors with 4 different strengths each, you have to submit 20 applications. That money is gone if you don’t get approved, and the FDA has only approved a handful of them.

This caused nearly every reputable manufacturer to close shop and left the sketchy companies who will just rebrand after getting shut down.

All of this for a product that legitimate studies show is 95% safer than smoking.

You could position the sensor/switch on one of the cardinal directions so it wouldn’t be in the way of the mechanism.

No, but that should be enough.

I want more about how he’s the only president to advocate for a complete gun ban.

I can’t believe Harris’s campaign isn’t pressing harder on that point.

Trump can’t cut a 6-figure check.

I’d love it if it wouldn’t cause me to get hate crimed.

It would be nice if they posted the language the movie is in.

About 80% of the time when I find an interesting looking horror movie on Netflix, it’s not in English, and the trailer doesn’t give that fact away, so you start the movie and fuck up the algorithm because it now thinks you only want non-english films.

Why the fuck is voter proof of citizenship involved in budgetary discussions in the first place?

Kilts are the way to go if you have a penis.

Yeah, I misread the comment.

Hall sensor or a switch that gets pressed when the lock is locked.

It wouldn’t be hard to do if I got a hall sensor, I just didn’t want to have to mess with 3D modeling and printing a housing for it.

Fields of Mysteria is looking pretty promising as a stardew replacement

I wish someone made a smart door lock status indicator. I don’t want my doors to unlock for me; I just want to know if I remembered to lock them.

Build your own! All you need is an esp32 or pi pico, stepper motor, and driver.

That’s next on my list of projects after I finish my smart microchip keyed pet feeding stalls.

But Meg is relentlessly bullied by Peter. And he’s the one who gave her the name!

I don’t think I’ve had a printer come with a cord in like 20 years.

Tech worker here. My house is largely smart, but it’s all controlled by a local server.
