    In Strange new worlds it was a hyper advanced thing, in TNG it was Scotty.

  • I use esphome & a 4 channel relay to engage the HVAC stages. I built a virtual thermostat in home assistant and tied it to a Shelly e-paper temperature sensor. I can move it to other sensors in the home if/when needed or carry the sensor around the house. It's not a huge place though.

    I have the old school thermostat still on the original mount point in case of catastrophic failure and for aesthetic.

  • You mentioned that you're an irritated person, this conversation has run its course.

    I've provided a direct source from the U.S. Senate and made a few points that have been overlooked. It feels like the irritation is now driving the discussion more than the facts are.

    Let's ignore that the cited historians have a clear bias against competing civilizations and entire swaths of native american history have been destroyed or ignored, as we have and continue to do. Are you sure you're a leftist?

    There's no productive way forward from here.

    Have a day.

  • You argued that it's settled pop history myth.

    The government stated in U.S. Senate Concurrent Resolution 331, passed in 1988: This non-binding resolution officially acknowledged the historical debt of the United States Constitution to the Iroquois Confederacy. It states that "the confederation of the original Thirteen Colonies into one republic was influenced by the political system developed by the Iroquois Confederacy as were many of the democratic principles which were incorporated into the Constitution itself."

    Your own wikipedia page cites the fact that women weren't primarily accounted for in the new government as something special. That was largely a 'feature' of european society.

    I'm glad the evidence is settled 100% and all the historical record is settled according to you and the sources you've cited. Hint:It's not.

    Guess it is done then.

  • Wikipedia is a reliable single source in academic circles now? I spent more time than college professors will on the wikipedia article.

    As you didn't read the blog post or its sources here's another excerpt:

    Many say that the United States, one of the oldest continuous democracies in the world drew influence for its constitution and governmental structure from an even older democracy, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.

    The very next paragraph which you might be able to scroll to reads:

    "The Senate recognized the influence of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy on the construction of the Constitution in a resolution read on September 16, 1987, that noted, “the original framers of the Constitution, including most notably, George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, are known to have greatly admired the concepts, principles and governmental practices of the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. Whereas the confederation of the original Thirteen Colonies into one republic was explicitly modeled upon the Iroquois Confederacy as were many of the democratic principles which were incorporated into the Constitution itself (3-4).”"

    It's ok to update your opinion.

  • No, it's just that you made a few claims without any backing sources. Since you asserted a claim against the influence altogether and are a self confessed irritated person, i felt some backings sources would be useful.

    As it's easier to spout off a full paste from an article instead of actually reading - here's a part I'd like to call your attention to: https://blogs.loc.gov/law/2023/09/the-haudenosaunee-confederacy-and-the-constitution/

    Constitutional convention members such as Benjamin Franklin were very familiar with the Haudenosaunee Confederacy nations and their founding principles. He reviewed Cadwallader’s The history of the five Indian nations depending on the province of New-York in America, and he wrote the article, “Short Hints Towards a Scheme for Uniting the Northern Colonies.” Franklin wrote to his printing partner, James Parker, “It would be a very strange Thing, if [the] Six Nations… should be capable of forming a Scheme for such an Union, and be able to execute it in such a Manner, as that it has subsisted Ages, and appears indissoluble; and yet that a like Union should be impracticable for ten or a Dozen English Colonies, to whom it is more necessary, and must be more advantageous.” He worked on the Albany Plan of Union and members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy attended the Albany Congress, where members of northern colonies discussed forming a general council for their common defense.

    I apologize that you would have had to click that and go offsite to review.

    It might be difficult for someone who is actively engaging their irritated side.

  • This is a pop history myth.

    Since you relied on your 'trust me because I post a lot' position in responding (you are making it up off the cuff);

    Here's some additional details about what you allege is a myth:

    Library of Congress Blog Post: https://blogs.loc.gov/law/2023/09/the-haudenosaunee-confederacy-and-the-constitution/

    Britannica post regarding the Confederacy: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Haudenosaunee-Confederacy

    Do click in there if you doubt that there's a plethora of backing information.

    Why lie or feign ignorance? Is this to further the point? Doesn't it function without the lies?

    The current nation's founding is rooted in several theories of antiquity and the ground they occupy had centuries of similar government.

  • Seems you're skipping forward to the current founding of the united states, which was ~1776.

    The us constitution was modeled after the local Haudenosaunee Confederacy population's government.

    They were finally ousted by white (terrorist) settlers during the Sullivan-clinton campaign.

  • Totalitarian states may project an image of stability and order, but this is achieved through force and propaganda, not through the consent or well-being of the populace.
