COVID was easy mode and we (Americans at the very least) failed. If we can’t handle something that’s highly infectious with a pretty low death rate we’re definitely not going to handle highly infectious + high mortality rate without a lot of people dying first and even then, it’ll still be “left wing propaganda”, I’m sure
Lisa needs measles!
A lot of people don’t have a fully offline setup and still have at least some devices that talk to the cloud. If that’s the case, if they make any changes, HA has to also update in response to those changes, so they really can’t treat it as an ‘appliance’ that can just sit there.
HA devs are also pretty frequently updating HA to make it better (better dashboards, better methods to create automations, etc…) and if you update at least every couple of months you’ll be able to adapt pretty easily.
Mine will largely function without internet, at least it will for anything needed, but does still need WiFi, but, I still keep it up to date. They’re also constantly updating and adding services that it can tie into, so, keeping up to date adds a lot of features you may not have even known you needed/wanted.
2.1.4 is fixing things in 2.1.3 and when those broken things effect you because you decided to install a known buggy version, then you’ll shift the complaint that it shouldn’t have let you install the broken one that would have effected you.
Pay attention to the update notes and let the system take backups, that’ll cover you 99% of the time.
I had something similar happen with a Node-Red update a few years ago and I stopped allowing automatic updates and started reading the notes and being proactive about my updates and have had zero issues since because I ensure my system is ready for the updates first.
Realistically, the banks will start offering longer loans, would be my expectation.
If you thought 6 year loans were already too long, wait til you start seeing 8-10 year long ones for new vehicles!
An Amendment takes 2/3 of Congress to approve though, not just a majority.
I can imagine plenty of Dems in Congress would say “fuck it, let’s try Obama again” though and roll the dice on approving it :-/
Especially because Iran HAD a nuclear deal with the US that they were adhering to and Trump broke that deal in his first term!
Why would they ever risk entering an agreement like that with the US ever again‽
In my experience, Zoomers largely lack a lot of computer skills (specifically in troubleshooting), but, for me the huge difference between them and the older folks has been that the older folks will say things like “I’m just not a computer person ::laugh::” and refuse to be shown how to do anything whereas the Zoomer just doesn’t know, yet, but are more than willing to learn.
ETA: NOTE: that’s just the generalized trend … some of the most knowledgeable technical people I’ve met are Boomers and some of the best computer techs I’ve worked with have been Zoomers.
No, Republicans definitely had this in the bag. Had there been a chance it wouldn’t have gone through, at least a couple of them would have dissented and sided with the Republicans.
Yeah, my problem with it is that it’s always something. I’ve been giving it a go about once a year since they forked from Emby and everytime something has made me drop it.
If I’m having problems with it the handful of times I go to watch something using it, the people I share with DEFINITELY would and now I have to handle their auth crap myself as well.
I’ll probably prioritize just keeping a server going side by side now for a lot longer than a month or two at a time and try to find solutions to my problems. it’s never really been a priority before since Plex worked, but the writing has been on the wall for a while now that the enshittification is in full swing and now I need to make sure I’m ahead of it.
Blah, this sucks.
It’ll still be the fault of Democrats and the Trans/DEI agenda for burning all the money.
If their supporters were capable of logical thought they wouldn’t be their supporters (not saying they’d be Dems, but they definitely wouldn’t be supporting these fucks).
The onion editors felt bad for making Biden seem more likable than he is, so, it doesn’t seem completely implausible that someone could intentionally do something similar for Vance.
A child dying is going to make them double down, honestly. At this point they will REALLY refuse to acknowledge that the kids death was 100% their fault since taking accountability is not something these people are willing to do
Same, 2/3 of my most recent jobs came this way … doesn’t mean it’s not a potential red flag though
Have they tried yelling BLUE NO MATTER WHO or saying NOTHING WILL FUNDAEMNTALLY CHANGE if they’re elected? I’m led to believe that voters love that!
+1, definitely recommend VaultWarden and a VPN
He can only pardon federal crimes. In most states, governor’s can pardon state crimes … some states have different processes and some don’t allow it at all.
Pardoning is typically also an admission of guilt…ie you’re guilty of the crime, but your sentence is completed, so you still have it on your record.
With that said, I have absolutely zero clue how all that works with these blanket pardons where they’re just given out to thousands of people at once.
Prabhakar Raghavan. This is a really good listen if you want to learn more.
I wasn’t a TikTok user, but, from what people tell me, by their third swipe the algorithm already knew enough about them that almost everything they get recommended was stuff they were interested in.
How is it that Google with raw access to SO MUCH MORE information than just a few swipes can’t manage to zero in on what I’m actually interested in and instead I see so much garbage that I don’t bother looking at.
Yeah, DE + the process that typically goes with it (brush, shave soap, lathering it up, etc…) can do wonders to reduce the irritation.
With that said, I even found that shaving in the shower with normal hair conditioner and a DE was a better experience than the 5 bladed razors with the shave gel
OP - The blades are so cheap you can use a new one every time if you wanted (you don’t need to, but you can)
