    My boss has come by my desk, every half hour since 8:00 this morning, asking me where a quote is. Every half hour I ask the purchasing group in another state (who hate me now) and they say "we're at (x) process" like that fucking dominos delivery tracker.

    I'm going insane.

    So I'm annoyed.

    I came home during lunch and caught some of my neighbor's kids going through my mailbox. They're just mailboxes on the front of our apartments next to our front door, but, they don't lock either because that'd cost the company money! These kids have been shits in the past 2 years, and they've done similar things. The neighbors already are actively combatant because I asked them to clean up after their shitty dog after it shit all over my front step and their 8 year old kid didn't have a bag to pick it up, and then got even worse after I let the complex manager know about it. They also walk their dog without a leash, which is a huge no no to begin with.

    At this point I just want to throw the book at these douches but I have a feeling my tires are going to get slashed and my car is going to get fucked up. Messing with mail isn't a slap on the wrist like the other shit was either. I guess I should invest in a camera so I can catch them in the act too, when the inevitably fuck up my car.

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    All are possibilities because he's an overrated dingus who is up his own ass.
    Is his American accent "I'm swallowing gravel" Batman? It's totally Batman, isn't it?

    He actually has a few American accents he can do

    But he will do whichever accent that is when he does interviews about that movie which is beyond stupid

    They're not interviews with the character, Christian

    I hate method actors.
    I like many of his movies. He's a prat but his movies are fun to watch...Well most of them.

    I don't think it's that unusual for brit actors to cultivate either an American or a mid Atlantic accent for media purposes

    I just bought an arduino kit and a Bluetooth Low Energy Module

    I'm either going to make a bed remote or be the star of Watchdogs 3

    Did it include opto isolated IO? That's what need for making a programmatically controlled connection from one wire to another. You'll also want a voltmeter to determine signal polarity.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D8KOZF4/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    @Ludious this kit only comes with one 5v relay, which is only enough to replicate a single button and a relay isn't quite what you want. It's a bit slow and has a physical component not meant for this type of usage. You'll want a bank of 5 opto-isolators to translate the arduino's output voltages into wire connections or disconnections in order to interface with your bed.

    https://www.amazon.com/Channel-Shield-Opto-couple-Arduino-MEGA2560/dp/B015AI64I8

    That might be overkill, since all you need to bridge is some signal wires, but this is the class of product you will need. It also has screw terminals so no soldering.

    ok cool but then why does it come with an IR remote with a bunch of buttons?

    Those are inputs to the arduino. Like, you click a button on the remote and the arduino, in the software you write, can see that button press. You then need to write some code that reacts to the button press by changing an output or doing a thing, anything. In your case you want to bridge the wires corresponding to one of the 4 bed buttons. You'd do that by connecting two bed wires to an opto, connecting the opto to an arduino digital output, then setting an arduino digital output high to effectively "hotwire" the bed. Then when the button on the remote is released, your code sets the output back low, to disconnect the wires.

    ah ok. I thought I could just connect the wires to the breadbox and the breadbox to the arduino and then use one of the BLE apps on the appstore to make buttons

    Well this is fucking stupid.

    House Joint Resolution 41, to eliminate a costly regulation that threatened to put American mining and energy companies and their employees at an unfair disadvantage.

    Next up Sony and Microsoft will be sanctioned to avoid putting Nintendo at an unfair advantage.

    *squints*

    That already happened, I think.
    FEBRUARY 24, 2017 AT 10:16 AM ET BY THE WHITE HOUSE
    Since day one, President Donald J. Trump has been cutting regulatory red tape in Washington in order to help the American people and increase efficiency. Costly regulations and job-stifling bureaucratic red tape have held back the American economy for far too long, and the President is committed to addressing this challenge directly.

    On Friday, President Trump signed an Executive Order aimed at reforming Government regulation by requiring every agency to establish a Regulatory Reform Task Force to eliminate red tape.

    Nope, today the EO was signed.

    Idk. He is the expert but I kind of want to change doctors. What I'm doing now is not a winning strategy.

    There's other anti-depressants that aren't SSRIs, are those not on the table for some reason?

    He has so far only talked about ssri's. I just figured they were the most effective. I could try and advocate for something else.

    They are first-line stuff, but there are a lot of other antidepressants with different mechanisms of action.

    If the bed and arduino shared a power supply, and the bed's signals were 5 volts, maybe. But as is, you'll need a relay or opto for each "button" you want to press. Once you have optos or relays hooked to your arduino digital outs, and the bed wires hooked to the optos, then you have a viable hardware setup electrically. From there you might be able to cobble the thing together with arduino apps, I am not sure though. I've never used one.
