Right, the surprise was that Texas honored an arrest warrant. We’ll see if they allow extradition m: that’s the last place before it’s totally in stste

Unfortunately it’s legal

I thought I would change it with marriage

Then do it. Pick your celebrity crush, then get together with friends and family for a fake wedding and name change

I used to think so as well, until apparently there’s another me in Chicago. He’s a bit older and a college professor

Never actually made a benny of any variation. I should

 

Substituted farfalle for soba noodles

Good luck with that. I just lost an argument with my HR because apparently they provide insurance under federal laws, not under the laws of my state

Yeah it all depends on the wording and how honest they are. Sometimes I’m frustrated enough to get all sorts of dark thought to inflict on them. But I have impulse control.

One of the reasons we need better gun control is too many people don’t. Or maybe too many people live in fear enough to escalate to deadly violence

No salary, and the stock value is contingent on the company meeting some ambitious goals over 10 years.

Unfortunately the article doesn’t say what happens if they don’t nor is it comparing to anything: are those goals as ambitious as they look when we’re talking 10 years? I don’t know

If you argue that musk’s talent is a reality distortion field creating bubbles, it has historically panned out pretty well. The original Tesla bubble was the reason they were able to grow fast enough to be where they are today

…. Personally I’m skeptical of most ai businesses surviving when that bubble pops, and I’m very skeptical of their being a market for a million humanoid robots that cost as much as a car

Moving to Nebraska is a pretty high cost for trying to improve the life expectancy of people who don’t want that

I’m not sure what entirely trying to say here …. At least then the dog would take the idiot out of the gene pool?

But seriously, this is exactly the reason people shouldn’t be allowed to carry weapons. They are more likely to harm or kill innocent people, more likely to escalate violence, than they are to defend themselves from inescapable violence. I get that many people claim the right, and have a foundational document to support it, but what about the victims?

My kids elementary school used something like “Community Resource Officer”

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (7 children)

It’s excessive even in college. A few years after I graduated, they renamed “campus security” to “campus police” to support increased training, equipment and certifications. It also results in more heavy handed responses

Trmnl experiences? (lemmy.world)
submitted 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) by AA5B@lemmy.world to c/homeassistant@lemmy.world
 

Did anyone here get one of those Trmnl dashboards? I’ve been wanting to build an e-ink dashboard for years but it keeps not happening, so I ordered a Trmnl X as soon as I read about it.

There’s a bit of a delay on shipping, and early adopters on Reddit were negative, but I’m excited!

— apparently one of the issues was magnets not sufficient to hold it to a fridge. THE CASE HAS MAGNETS! AND THEY'RE UPDATING THEM!

There is a big list of plugins, including apple calendar and HA dashboard, which I’m most interested in

Anyhow, if you got one, please share your experience

 

Probably limit to the us for feasibility: i want to find out about regional products but also have a chance of getting interesting ones.

For example I recently found about two flavors of soda available in parts of the us but not where I am (Peach Crush, Cactus Cooler). I was able to order online to try them!

What else is regional to you that someone may like? Any communities? Links? Online resources to help?

 

I just got an Airthings Radon monitor, and the integration with HA went smoothly. As a starting dashboard I have a simple card displaying sensor values.

But I let myself get carried away and got the one with the most sensors. So expected to see history graphs so I can look at trends or events, but it never occurred to me they were all different units and scales. HA wants to create many charts, which is less easy to read.

Does anyone have dashboard ideas on how to display these?

I’m considering joining a CSA for summer produce …….

But getting produce this way can be expensive so not everyone can do it, but this one place also spends part of our shares to offer

  • “Food For All” where they offer half price food shares on request, no paperwork or shame involved!
  • you can buy shares with SNAP at subsidized prices so it’s at least comparable to grocery stores, but then put money back on your SNAP card!
 

Can anyone help with pointers for automatable garage heaters? So far my searches aren’t finding anything. My requirements are:

  • remotely preheat when I want to work out
  • alert if it’s left on, or automatically turn off

I’m in the US, looking for 240v maybe 5,000w electric heater. The basic item is cheap and readily available at home centers or online. I even see variations with Bluetooth remote and/or controlled by app.

I’m looking for something locally automatable. Matter/Thread would be ideal but I’m fine with Zigbee or z-wave. But I’m not finding anything like that, and getting stuck on some vendors portal is not ok. Any leads?

Or something that can use an external thermostat - I actually have an extra Ecobee - that can be locally automatable. Any leads? Any search tips that might find such a thing?

I briefly thought of automating an outlet, however even if smart outlets are available for those loads, that wouldn’t work because all these heaters have a safety feature to run the fan until the unit is cool

 

One of the environmental regulations we benefit from here in the us, is eu common charger rules! Basically all computer like devices now use usb-c. Thanks.

But it would be even better to be common to essentially every portable device. I’ve seen flashlights that charge over usb-c.

While I was travelling this past weekend, my toothbrush battery died and I didn’t have the proprietary charging base. I sure wish that took usb-c also. Looking online I see a couple but most electronic toothbrushes still use proprietary chargers

Which brings up: what are you guys seeing, where common charger rules are actually required? Looking across non-computer devices that are not required to be usb-c, are they?

Edit: proprietary

 

It’s coming down to the final deadline. I’m running out of time and need to decide ….

Kids are at college so buying in bulk is less important but I love Costco. My membership expired in May, but I’m down to three rolls of toilet paper, LoL

Do I renew Costco and continue to buy in bulk at the potential of wasting money, or do I give up on Costco and buy all supplies from the grocery?

 

May be interesting here because walkable cities and transit directly reduce unnecessary deaths

Massachusetts consistently ranks as the safest state for drivers in terms of fatality rate, with only 4.9 deaths per 100,000 people. Its success is largely credited to stringent DUI laws … Urban density also plays a role – Boston’s congested streets and statewide lower speed limits in urban areas reduce the opportunity for high-speed crashes. The state also has a strong public transportation network, which decreases total vehicle miles traveled.

 

wtf, Texas

Is even this politicized?

It may never be known exactly how many Texas women have died as a result of the state’s abortion restrictions … And the state is not trying to find out. The Texas Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee, the body responsible for investigating maternal deaths, has announced it is not investigating cases from 2022 and 2023, including the immediate aftermath of the state’s almost-total abortion ban.

 

This is a stupid question mostly because I don’t know where to ask it. Also it seems like an obvious thing but I’ve never read any news mentioning ……

I was just reading an article going over recent flooding catastrophes and one thing that stood out was a dam adding to the high water by having to release water while the flooding was still happening.

But can’t dam operators see a storm forecast and start drinking, er draining, ahead of time? It’s seems like you could make a big difference in controlling flooding with just a day or two pregaming. That can’t be profound, so why does it never seem to be mentioned? It could be a significant factor on many floods, a critical use for NWS data, forecasts, warnings, so where are the news mentions?

 

So many toddler toys and sporting goods on the curb in front of our house! Got my now college age kid to help.

We put up a huge “free” sign, and at least some things found a new home. Three bicycles, two portable soccer nets, and a pair of roller blades definitely gone but there’s just so much stuff that I really couldn’t say what’s no longer there

I’m disappointed the snow blower didn’t go. Yeah it’s older and needs service but it’s a nice two stage, self-propelled, auto-start model where bringing it back to life would be a fraction of the cost of buying something like that
