I mean it's worth saying that the new bots are kind of a different league to the old bots.

Keep crypto scams going! Also trump doesn't know policy anyway, he just signs what his handlers ask him to.

Wouldn't you expect, a second missing aircraft then? I mean it's not like we didn't just piss off a major nation near by, could they just have been caught with their pants down.

Why do you think some of the most advertised things are... predatory loans and gambling.

Honestly for me the worse of it is, basically on linkedin and similar, people pretending to be recruiters, opening with a fake job posting and asking for your resume, then to follow it up with "Hey you know I don't think this resume is going to get by, can I put you in contact with my resume company, they will sharpen up your resume for $300. Umm... so yeah, don't know if you guessed this, but I have no clue when my next paycheck is coming in, this isn't the time to ask me to drop a large amount of money on something that may not do anything.

Would say overall the point is... they aren't more expensive than regular food, depending on your situation etc... Key thing is crab legs and lobster tails, aren't generally a huge price point beyond other things... and the joke, is of course that someone using their 200 a month and getting something moderately paletable, while a small group of cabinet members are literally spending more than.. well more than a states worth of food stamp recipients get total.

Sure, but did you think about the fact that food stamp recepiants could legally buy frozen lobster tail if they hoose to use all of their food stamps on it?, there's at least one documented case of someone actually doing it too so, it's a serious problem and justified cutting off half the country from food stamps to keep the epstien files from releasing.

You know, I wonder if half of the reason for the rename, aside from being more on the nose.

Is so even when the stock market tanks they can say "The DOW is up 100,000!"

What about the other though.

I'm against US imperialism.

So I believe the only truth must be either the perfect opposite of what they are saying, or the propaganda of their adversaries.

eventually I'm sure it will. at least within windows I think it's safe to assume if it's on the screen, it's a candidate for AI control.

Well I think Schumer may be more UNIVERSALLY hated, because he sucks for both sides. If you think tax cuts for the rich are great, that Isreal should be able to do whatever the hell it wants, that wars are a good thing, you'll love McConnel, Schumer on the other hand sometimes says words to pretend to oppose those things.

So in short, if you are pro-fascist you hate schumer a little, if you are anti-fascist you hate schumer a lot... but at the end of the day, no one likes him, except for maybe the people that support his role as the person hired to lose.

Doubly so factoring in it's right now at a time when, hardware costs are skyrocketing. Getting a PC with the same specs as the one I bought in 2023, is almost double the price today. Even steam machines and consoles are delaying themselves because they can't find a way to release at a reasonable price point.

Everyone has basically been told "3 months ago was the last time to buy a computer for a while until either the AI bubble pops, or some magical huge increase in manufacturing happens to keep up with demand". Point is this is literally the worse time in history to tell people to go buy a new PC.

I think both are pretty equally awful, I think much like military capabilities, Putin's rhetoric is restrained by his need to have allies. Just like weapons cover, isreal is emboldened by allies that will back them no matter what they say or do. Putin still walks the line to the maximum amount of evil he's allowed to be without triggering ww3.

 

Hey everyone.

I have my homeassistant setup. Something I'm looking to do is a simple alarm clock, slowly turning up my LED strip, and gradually say turning on music in 1% increments. But I really haven't had much luck coming up with a not silly $100 + system to, just have a music player that hass can control. I have a basic bottom line tablet in our bedroom set up as a home assistant dashboard. we have a paid spotify account.

But I'm kind of losing my head trying to wrap around exactly what or how to actually get a controllable system. that can be set up in my bedroom without any costly additions to my bedroom. We have plenty of bluetooth speakers, but to my knowledge all of them require actually turning them on manually if they weren't playing music before. Which kind of negates their value for an alarm clock.
