  • I’ve tried the old spring one’s too, and the spring quality determines the accuracy, but again, not over time. Turns out the Inkbirds are equally as accurate as the Protmex showed, all the TermoPro’s were junk, and after a brief chat with ThermoPro customer service they refunded my entire purchased which was over 6 months ago, so that was nice. I think my body has been conditioned by bad Hygrometers to misjudge waht 40% rh should feel like, but the inkbirds were a good find, am gonna keep the protmex to do spotchecks on the inkbirds every nowa and again




  • “It is now run and predominantly owned by chief executive Jay Graber as a US public benefit corporation.”

    It’s that predominantly that’s the tell. The Guardian has no more idea who owns which and how many shares as anyone else, because it’s a privately held corporation. Yeah, i’m pretty sure, and when they go public, we’ll all be positive of it. If Dorsey wasn’t the largest shareholder, they would have been feeding THAT out to the press, instead of the incessant every present PR line “stepped down from the board” and “closed his account” lol

    jack dorsey is the largest shareholder in bluesky because he founded it and has never transferred or given up his shares in it




  • ThermoPro TP39 and Inkbird ITH-10 After this thread the other day I bought some Inkbird’s on sale from Amazon to test them out, have had some ThermoPro TP39 around (and outside) of the house, and one of the Inkbirds was about 5% above on a salt test in a bag, out of the bag, they are all, seemingly reading LOW. Little sick of this, so I bought a Protmex HT607 to test out to see if my feeling is right, that the only one of the hygrometers in the photo that’s near correct (3%+/-) is the center ThermoPro. If my feeling is right, I’m going to return all the Inkbirds, and give ThermoPro some shit, make a warranty claim, where I’m sure they’ll send me 3 more junk hygormeters. I’m not prepared to spend $800 on a scientific hygrometer that can only do push button spot readings, can continue to be amazed that the market hasn’t produced an ADJUSTABLE always on moisture/humidity monitor. It’s pretty maddening.







  • “Voters” don’t understand how the intricacies of foreign dependence on the worlds only Superpower work, or that the European bankers and captains of industry will go to every length to protect where the majority of their revenue comes from. So the man on the street will keep calling to ignore the United States under Trump, and the world’s economy will continue to jump through hoops to do business with it, because as it’s central engine, if you’re not doing business with, under the auspices of, or with the tacit approval, you aren’t doing business.

    Let’s talk in two years, after Trump’s had some time to destroy a whole lot of people, and a whole lot of places, that aren’t in The United States, and take a tally of who has decided to cut the US off from trade. It’s going to be equal parts sobering and disappointing.
