I literally just did this over the past few weeks. I bought four ESP32-C3 minis on expansion boards (The expansion boards come with PH2.0mm connectors and built in battery charging management, so that I can add battery power next - already ordered the LiPo batteries. At the moment they're plugged into USB-C phone chargers) and four SHT-41 temperature and humidity meters. I then installed the espressif development environment and (don't shoot me, I was under time pressure) vibe-coded the setup for the ESP boards: they broadcast the readings every 10 seconds via mosquitto.

I also bought a barebones raspberry pi and made it subscribe to the mosquitto feeds and write the data to a sqlite database, and created a basic flask website that reads the data from sqlite and shows the graphs and the temperature readings to anyone on my local wifi.

My code is on codeberg - I'd be happy to share the link if any of this is relevant to you.

To "effect" something is to make it happen. "Effecting change" is the typical usage.

To modify something is to "affect" it. So children are affecting their environment.

Endocrine disruptors are an important topic in environmental biology. They certainly have effects on wildlife, but Jones clearly didn't understand it very well. There's a pretty good overview on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocrine_disruptor

Shattered is good, but the original pixel dungeon was absolutely brilliantly done in the sense that it was kept so small and with such tight gameplay that there was no grinding, just a fun mixture between puzzle game and roguelike.

I recently had to uninstall Angband because I was spending too much time on it. I had never thought it would work on mobile, but it's an amazingly faithful representation of the desktop version.

It's a weird business where everyone is offering an environmentally unsupportable service at below cost, hoping to outlive the competition.

Market share of a negative profit market.

They should offer them a Music Dance Experience with Defiant Jazz.

There's a big difference between moral and morale.

Diese Zeitung ist ein Organ der Niedertracht. Es ist falsch, sie zu lesen. Jemand, der zu dieser Zeitung beiträgt, ist gesellschaftlich absolut inakzeptabel. Es wäre verfehlt, zu einem ihrer Redakteure freundlich oder auch nur höflich zu sein. Man muss so unfreundlich zu ihnen sein, wie es das Gesetz gerade noch zulässt. Es sind schlechte Menschen, die Falsches tun.

[This newspaper is an organ of malice. It is wrong to read it. Anyone who contributes to this newspaper is socially absolutely unacceptable. It would be a mistake to be friendly or even polite to one of its editors. One must be as unfriendly to them as the law allows. They are bad people doing wrong things.]

Is there any info on the artist, or did it get stripped out of the comic by beep?

In French, you count from 69 to 72 like "sixty-nine, sixty-ten, sixty-eleven, sixty-twelve". Then from 79 to 81 it goes "sixty-nineteen, four twenties, four twenties and one". Then from 89 to 91 it goes "four twenties and nine, four twenties and ten, four twenties and eleven".

It's not consistently vigesimal, though. Twenty is "vingt"*, thirty is "trente", forty is "quarante", fifty is "cinquante" and sixty is "soixante" - so far all normal. The only ones where they go all vigesimal on us are 70 (soixante-dix), 80 (quatre-vingts) and 90 (quatre-vingt-dix).

*etymologically "two-tens", if you go back beyond Latin: it's from Proto-Indo-European *dwi(h₁)dḱm̥ti
