Why are people asking the same questions over and over again? (Or the Regulars' Chatroom) 🤷

There’s a joke about cookbook recipes here somewhere, but I can’t quite…

[Sir_Goodenough ((SG) WhatAreWeFixing.Today)]

That’s true
It would be beneath your level to even comment here.
I suggest there’s nothing for you to see here.
Unless you can help build a Cookbook WIKI for social skills or something.

there used to be Shoutboxes in the old days [phpbb forum engines :D]

Chilli con carne cookbook recipe, with Maalox shooters for dessert (if you’re fast enough)

You know what, this thread is popping up to my unread threads simply because I sometime probably click on it.
I really don’t understand why you and other people are replaying to my posts.
I just want to say that this is waist of time, talking to be heard, nothing to say, blabla and it goes on and on and on.
The point is… well there is no point. Just talking, developing social skills, whatever that mean.
And thanks for the heads up… there is really nothing to see here.
Unless you want to see bunch of people talking about nothing.

[Sir_Goodenough ((SG) WhatAreWeFixing.Today)]

Exactly. Completely agree with you.
If I were you I’d definitely click muted for this one.
Then I can click block on you and we shall never speak again.

[ShadowFist]

Just follow his advice:

@ddaniel

How does they say… don’t feed the troll.

[Sir_Goodenough ((SG) WhatAreWeFixing.Today)]

Funny, When people are blocked, you see nothing. It’s awesome.
Click the person, then click ignore and pick a time frame. Is forever too long?

[ShadowFist]

It’s never too long, but I don’t block people as a matter of principle*.

*Figured it’s free entertainment, so better than a Netflix subscription.

You’re showing your age hahaha (damn I do miss phpbb though lol)

[code-in-progress (Bill - I write code.)]

Cheaper too

[nickrout]

Another pet peeve. People say in an esphome thread that they have everything wired correctly. 20 posts later they say they fixed their problem by changing the wiring. Sigh

@ddaniel

I don’t have social skills and don’t socialize its a waist of time.

Of all the things you could print that on a t-shirt…

[ShadowFist]

Free is always cheaper

[code-in-progress (Bill - I write code.)]

I avoid the ESPHome threads like the Black Plague pretty much for that reason. Bad configs, bad wiring, etc. All sorts of nope from me.

Ehh, or saying they bought, waited for delivery, and wired a resistor and it fixed it.

pullup: true would have gotten you there in 2 minutes.

Add bad ai to that.

[code-in-progress (Bill - I write code.)]

Eh, that one was on me… I fed the troll… Bad Bill… bad. hahaha

[ShadowFist]

Gotta love that little flag icon, and the post which finally pushed me to click it!

[Sir_Goodenough ((SG) WhatAreWeFixing.Today)]

If enough regulars push it, they also disappear. Without a mod. I can’t see them or I would push it as well.

I wanted to test the block thing out on someone. I’m glad I found a worthy candidate.
