It’s clearly a conflict of interest, by definition.
Maybe you could argue it wasn’t a quid pro quo or a bribe since there is no proof, but it’s awfully suspicious

Wow, I can’t believe how many women in Joshua Tree were attacked by four pit bulls on that one day in January
It’s sort of a plus … obviously not in your scenario …. I believe pitbull breeds tend to be one of the protective and loyal breeds, and they do have a very strong bite. I have no worries about my pit bull with my kids but if you frighten her around them you’ll see her instantly change from a cuddle bug to on guard against hell and its minions
Unfortunately they’re sometimes loyal and protective to people who don’t deserve them
I also feel like I need to add that many breeds of dog are very loyal and protective. In the same situation a German shepherd is equally dangerous. Even little dogs are likely to come after you for attacking their human although obviously they can’t do as much damage. I feel like your situation was a general dog issue: many/most dogs are protective and loyal. You really can’t attack their human without them helping (and yes it doesn’t matter who started it or if he was a dick, to the dog you were attacking his human
Same experience here, dogs of all sizes, shapes, breeds. The only dogs that ever bit me for real were mini poodles, two of them.
Well technically I suppose my pitbull - I stuck my fingers in her mouth to pull out whatever she had picked up off the street to eat, but one time she didn’t see and accidentally bit down a bit. She immediately released and was mortified she may have hurt me
Yea. I’ve been tempted to this many times over the years. I’ve always had one dog at a time because that works for me, but I know they’ve suffered from lack of companionship when I’m not around. Getting a buddy would likely make my dog’s life better.
In particular my last dog never really adjusted to our family. Way too high energy level, way more need for attention than we were able to give. I specifically considered getting him a buddy but couldn’t risk one buddy’s life as the last ditch effort to save another. We did end up having to rehome that dog but at least didn’t affect another
Pit bull breeds are commonly available as rescues and they tend to become very attached to their family, very affectionate. They can be extremely smart and loyal. Also they look cool, somewhat distinct from the everyday golden retriever ilk. I trust my pitbull with my kids more than any other dog I’ve owned.
Personally I find them the right size: big enough to play rough or to cuddle without worrying about squishing them, small enough to be easy to feed and clean up after
They also seem like a great physical level for family life. They can have intense play but endurance is not their strong point. It’s not like they need to run all day
Ai is here to stay. There will be winners
Many companies will take huge losses but the real losses will be communities with huge dead buildings and unrewarded tax incentives. Power companies with wasted investments trying to feed datacenters that no longer exist and the rate payers that have to pay for it
I think there will continue to be a free tier: Apple is a great example of using small local ai to do useful things for their customers. However the latest models will be have to be much more expensive to cover the business case. Scale matters, so there’s a good chance the winners won’t just dominate in a country but globally
Nope. Just small. There is no single threshold that fits everyone: it varies by age, weight, gender
As far as I knew they are mainly to tell a seeing impaired person where not to walk into the street.
They also seem effective at encouraging everyone else to step back a little
But the dot version is standard where I’ve seen.
I’m sure they’re getting compensation. The question is always whether it’s fair compensation. I’m sure they’re claiming they’re just using an easement on the back of the property while they’re saying our entire lives are here and we don’t want to live under power lines
FOMO. In addition to the below, AI is a huge bubble and the only way to win is to have the biggest and the most datacenters. So companies are in a rush to grow the fastest.
When the bubble pops, each hopes to remain on top, dominating a new industry and reaping untold wealth. However most of those companies will lose. Most of those datacenters will shut down. It will be “dead malls” all over again. It will be society impacted the losses of business excess again
Meanwhile a huge part of the problems they cause is we are way behind in infrastructure spending. We already weren’t able to get sufficient power everywhere needed. We already couldn’t easily support new power generation or large power users. Now we’re suddenly tripling projected power growth?
And infrastructure spending from the 2022 bill was mostly cancelled in the current political chaos. And we’re still not talking about being so far behind on infrastructure spending. We don’t seem to care that infrastructure in good repair would be much more resilient to sudden needs like this, much more able to support innovation

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?

While I hate being cold to peoples suffering, didn’t most of them vote for the face eating leopard party. They asked for their corporate overlords personal profit to be protected from their lungs, their environment, any consideration. They asked for billionaires to be above the law.
They are clearly being wronged here, there should be heavy fines, shutdowns and even jail time but my empathy is in short supply
