Protip: If something is sounding an alarm and flashing, don't turn it off because it's annoying, especially if you don't know what it's doing.
In this case, some fuckwit turned off the sump pumps in the basement and it flooded. I guess it was probably broken and sounding the siren, but.. turning it off is not a solution, especially when it's currently raining a shitload.

Thank you everyone for tolerating my coding whinging over the past few months. To reward your patience, I present this humble offering.
If you genuinely like using this, I'd appreciate a 5★ on the App Store too.
Weather data costs money, so Sunshine does too. It's about 1/2 a coffee in Darling Harbour per month, or 2 pints of beer in Melbourne's inner north per year.
I nerdsniped myself into checking the claimed specs of Thermaltake's GM5 motion platform before I installed it on my rig:
* figured out serial commands to control actuators
* recorded motion at 120fps, loaded into Tracker (open source video analysis for physics experiments)
* exported time/position data to CSV
* gave it to Claude
It exceeds the claimed 250mm/s speed by hitting 300mm/s mid-stroke, but fails the claimed 0.4g acceleration (measured 0.36g)
