“If we wish to establish racial equality or gender equality, or equality in any social structure — acknowledge that we can’t pick and choose who gets to be a part of the equality equation. As a humanitarian, before any label that I associate with myself; I hope we recognize that we can only resolve our issues through respect and humility. Through recognizing that it’s not okay to simply “demand” respect whilst belittling an entire culture.” medium.com/in-defence-of-white-people

NodeMCU ESP8266 Wi-Fi SoC
NodeMCU Status: Our air conditioner is limping with a oil logged evaporator until we replace the unit on 13 October. The thermostat is also limping along because of leaking batteries. I’m using these NodeMCU’s to measure the temperature and humidity throughout the house and turn on / off the power to the thermostat.
A new challenge, two thermostats and the one NodeMCU. Looks like this is easier than I thought. The thermostats *8 wires are “Open” except for the Red wire (Power),the Blue wire (Common) and there’s something about the Orange wire (Reversing Valve) it appears to be normally closed to the Red wire. That means is that I can parallel all the wires between the two thermostats except for (Red) and (Orange). Two relays for red, two relays for Orange, Four relays for Cool, High, Fan and Fresh Air.
Feelings: As Christians we are compelled to look after the Widows and the poor. Just how we do that in this climate when there is so much energy fighting the democracy I don’t know.
