Chill out, I explicitly said that bars should be appropriately cutting people off. That would be long before they are drunk. If they can’t do that, they lose their licencing and ability to sell alcohol.
Fortunately, drunks at home have never hurt themselves or their families. /s
I dont drink at all, so you can keep your assumptions about my social life to yourself.
And no one is talking about peer pressuring others to drink, where did you get that idea from?


Unfortunately, FireRetardant is the opposite :( But I guess there was never gonna be a one-size-fits all answer here.


I’m Australian, we go with 0.05, I think commercial is zero though.


You can get breathalysers that use straws for mouth pieces. I think they are used in workplaces (mines etc)?
But ideally, much better to have proper infrastructure alternatives. 0.05 is the legal limit, its not the same as the “safe” level.


Good point. No easy answers :(


Tbh, I’m in the same boat. But government inflicted alcohol price rises are already happening in many places, so maybe it could be tweaked to help.


No arguments there. My intent with the proposal was more centered around making alcohol consumption actually social. Balancing it against the obvious harms of alcohol is non-trivial.


Bars could be required to have cheap booze in order to keep their licences. But heinekin owning the establishment is a bit of a conflict of interest there.


If allowing problem drinking could cause the alcohol service licence to be revoked (therefore no more cheap booze), perhaps pubs would be incentivised to prevent problem drinking. Requires a working regulatory environment though.


Very true. I’d like to beleive establishments are cutting people off and taking active steps to prevent drink driving, but thats definitely naive.


Im not proposing full prohibition, just that bar alcohol should be cheaper than home.
Alcoholics are already being financial punished by price hikes. I’d be happy for the price hikes to also fund treatment.


Here is a thought, feel free to shoot it down:
Many governments are jacking up prices on alcohol, for the obvious health detriments. Instead of doing it across the board, they could make take home alcohol cost significantly more, but bar/pub/restaurant alcohol significantly cheaper, on the understanding that its a lot harder to problem drink in a public place with a bartender who will cut you off.
It would encourage moderated drinking in social places, discourage excessive home drinking. Doesnt completely solve the health issues though.


You can rename them later no? I name them after the sensor, and rely on the location field. But in esphome they are named location-sensor.


Show us the JPEGs, I want to feel second hand financial instability


Does tapping it with a hammer help? Your probably right, and there is a pressure sensor getting stuck. Maybe try find it and tap it with a hammer to see if dislodges?


For what its worth, you can sit in on most if not all lectures, without paying. Tutorials, exams and the fancy robe and paper cost, but to sit and listen to the lectures is free at all unis. Some caveats apply regarding crowding, but generally you can acquire knowledge for free.


That makes sense, hopefully the scales suggestion pans out. I’d look for one with a big range of weights (up to 5-10kg), and physical buttons instead of touch. I have touch buttons and they suck. They trigger if a metal bowl gets close, and dont work well when I do try use them.
Look for the additional storage section under the app settings:
