mystes posted:I'm not sure why you're in the bathroom with them but if it bothers you that much maybe you should just cover up that light switch with something? Hey I've considered it. But I know I'm just being weird, and you really gotta choose how much weirdness you inflict on other people. Also I'm not in the bathroom with them but it's a 600 sq ft apartment and nothing can happen here without all present parties knowing about it

I just navigated my way out of the study with a candle because the light switch is on the wrong side of the room. Thanks for reading, lightailures.

artsy fartsy posted:My apartment has a drop ceiling and harsh retail-style panel lighting (and every single bulb is a different temperature, somehow) and I pretend it doesn't exist, I have lamps for days. It's way more pleasant and also de-emphasizes the terrible concrete floor that looks like it came out of somebody's lovely old garage. The only time I keep my overhead lights on in my apartment is if I'm cooking or cleaning. At all other times, the overhead lights are OFF.

My dream is to live in a house where I keep all the lights off all the time except for salt lamps. They don't have magic powers but I like that they are naturally dimmed, by the salt. So I'd just live in a pink salt light cave permanently. All the windows would be blocked completely, get the sun out of here. Part of the dream is sleeping whenever I feel like it. So light is always the same intensity and color (low, and warm) and I never know if it's night or day and I never leave that house and never turn on a computer again. I probably have depression though.

I have occasionally considered getting smart light bulbs for my bedroom overhead light, ideally with a physical remote switch so I could turn them on/off from bed, but I would need to get three bulbs and set them up to work together or something. Is that easy to do?

Is that easy to do? Yeah, I use Philips Wiz bulbs because they’re relatively cheap (about $10-ish each) and don’t need a centralized hub device. They’re primarily app-controlled, but you can add remotes into the system or set default behavior for when they get turned off at the switch, group lights together, etc.

It's kind of iffy at that age. My 10-year-old is currently in the kitchen making himself some ramen on the stovetop (they all have a second dinner after I cook dinner, goddamn growing children!). All three (10, 11, and 14) know how to use the stove and microwave, but are still a little wary of the regular oven. They can for sure heat up soup or SpaghettiOs, boil noodles, make grilled cheese sandwiches, or use the microwave for just about anything that can be microwaved. Those kids should be able to make microwave mac & cheese or a hot pocket or something. Then again, this same 10-y.o. using the stove almost caught the microwave on fire one day because he forgot to add water to his instant ramen and the package burst into flame. I was in the other room and averted a crisis but it freaked him out bad. So I guess you have to make sure they know what they're doing, but they're kids, they'll still probably gently caress something up every now and then.

It looks like there's a slightly better deal on the similar kasa bulbs with 4 color changing bulbs for $23 on amazon right now but there doesn't seem to be a remote for those (there's a switch but it has to be wired).

Get the RGB Wiz ones IMO, they’ll only be a few bucks more and it’s surprisingly nice to have full color range.

+1 for having them gradually turn on to wake you up. It's so much easier to wake up when a light has been slowly getting brighter for 20 minutes.

I also use the Wiz bulbs and the fact that they rely on WiFi is why I exclusively plug them into outlets controlled by lightswitches, even if that means some ridiculous extension cord situations; if your WiFi is down for whatever reason, they behave just like normal warm-white lightbulbs when controlled by a lightswitch

AITA for telling my wife I don't believe her when she says she'd be okay with us calling our daughter by different names?quote:My (30m) wife (29f) is pregnant with our first child, our daughter. She's just about a month away from giving birth and we do not have a name picked out yet. At one point we had two potential names on a list but my wife told me she really didn't want to give either name to our daughter so that was gone. Looking forward to when one of the parents hears which name the kid introduces herself by at the playground and disowns her for picking the wrong one.

mystes posted:Yeah actually 2x 2 rgb bulbs is only like $6 more than 3 white bulbs and it's probably good to have a spare anyway so I might get rgb ones. I guess maybe I would consider changing the color temperature to be more reddish at night since I guess you can have multiple presets saved? Yes, you can set as many presets as you want, and even set schedules for those presets to kick in at a given time. You can also set different colors/brightness for each bulb if you want Seriously, smart bulbs loving own

Is there some kind of TikTok challenge for brides to come up with some of the weirdest wedding demands possible? AITA for not wanting to attend my brother’s wedding because and for calling my SIL rules stupid? quote:Im 27F dentist and my brother 32M and his soon wife 27F are getting married in less than 2 months. Let’s call my SIL Abby. Abby and I never had a relationship of our own. We definitely don’t hate each other but we are not besties. We just exist in each others presence. I noticed that in the invitation to their weeding that Abby requested the dress code to be all women in the wedding to wear off the shoulder dresses, suits or anything just off the shoulder. Doesn’t matter the color or the sequence unless it is off the shoulder. Something I wondered myself was addressed in the top comment: quote:NTA. So are all the 90yo grannies going to be wearing off the shoulder outfits????????? As a granny myself, this is freaking horrifying. quote:OP:
