It's always interesting spotting the UKCA symbol, and going "ah, this is 2020 or later"
Also, regarding not getting a straight answer out of anywhere...Honestly, if you got 4 builders to make plans, you wouldn't get a consensus.
Unless you go down the path of putting down extension grade foundations (taking into account nearby trees, slope, clay type), filling a nice wide trench with MOT and concrete is going to be fine for a greenhouse.
What are the greenhouse plans, out of curiosity? I've always fancied building a wooden one.
Imo, it's always worth making the right mix for the job.
Am I correct in assuming that you want to do foundations around the outside, then have the middle be bare soil to plant into?
Rather than having a slab, and raised beds on top?
Around the outside, maybe dig 400mm down, put in 200mm of compacted MOT, and 200mm of C10 concrete mix.
And put some rebar in if you're feeling extra (it's not that expensive). Just remember that if you put rebar in, it is an absolute arseache to rip the concrete up afterwards.
Though tbh, unless you're really keen for the plants to root into the ground, I'd do a slab!
Honestly, it's because it went in early days.
When ML generated art was a novelty, and people hadn't had a chance to sit down and go "wait, actually, no".
And it's an absolute arsepain to replace, because you'll get 1001 prompt engineers defending slop.
feddit.uk banned generative AI content to make this process easier, and still needs to sweep through and commission new art for a few communities.
I thought I'd pop this up here, as I've now had mine almost a year.
I've had sonoff zigbee sensors for a while, and wanted to try this slightly updated one with a display.
To cut a long story short:
Battery use should obviously be taken with a pinch of salt, but I would not be surprised if it's still trucking after 2 years.
Accuracy is fine for consumer level gear
I also discovered (after updating to HA latest) that temperature and humidity thresholds can be set on the device.
And that it will show symbols on the display when these limits are breached. By default, it shows a snowflake when it's under 19'C.
So, yeah. For areas where people are likely to want to check the temperature quickly, they're neat little dooberies.
And at the other extreme, the guy with a 10 year old photo who never logs in, listed as "software engineer".
Who has enough experience and knowledge to rebuild a social network.
Or from the sounds of it, doing things more efficiently.
Fewer cycles required, less hardware required.
Maybe this was an inevitability, if you cut off access to the fast hardware, you create a natural advantage for more efficient systems.
I love Mint for this reason.
When my OS works well enough that I don't even have to think about it day to day, it's doing its job.
The way to tell so often seems to be if someone has called it AI or Machine Learning.
AI? "I put this through chatgpt" (or "The media department has us by the balls")
ML? "I crunched a huge amount of data in a huge amount of ways, and found something interesting"
This is from the Woolworth's sit-in, where people sat at the segregated lunch counter in protest.
Other people who did not like this verbally and physically abused them.

The workload that's starting now, is spotting bad code written by colleagues using AI, and persuading them to re-write it.
"But it works!"
'It pulls in 15 libraries, 2 of which you need to manually install beforehand, to achieve something you can do in 5 lines using this default library'
The traditional "british teeth" was the UK's dental industry focussing on healthy rather than pretty.
Nowadays, it's caused by underfunded patient slots at dentists.
You can find a private dentist pretty easily, but it's quite hard to get taken on as an NHS patient (which means when you need treatment for something, you're not in the capped NHS bands). Which is especially bad if you're eligible for completely free treatment, as you're blocked by available dentists.
The dentists are generally given funding (or access to funding) for a set amount of NHS patients to make up the difference between NHS capped costs and their true costs. And unfortunately, there often aren't enough slots.
I was lucky with my current dentist that they happened to have slots when I signed up. And a few years later, they let me know when slots were opening so I could add the rest of the household.
A structural engineer would want to box my ears for this, but honestly...If it's a freebie like that I'd be tempted to just put down a couple of courses of concrete blocks, then mount it on that!
Though I guess a trench, MOT, and C10 is only a weekend's worth with a spade and a mixer.
