I run, but I used ridewithgps to do routing back when I was running with a group and they sent out routes for the long runs

I am not using any water sensors, so can't speak to that

The gift thst keeps on giving :)

I opted out about the time they were releasing their second gen hub, so it's been a while now. I'm on my second iteration of HA hardware (rpi5) now. Still have old iris window sensors I bought way back when I had ST. (From lowes). Their biggest issue is the battery life on them kinda sucks.

Which is why very shortly after I found homassistant, I moved all my sensors/devices over and decommissioned my smartthings bridge and never looked back.

It's funny, not funny how much these people (the vast majority of politicians on both sides) have forgotten that. And that's because money rules. Until it is no longer lucrative to be in politics nothing will change. Reduce the financial wins of becoming a politician and the people gravitating towards that career will change.

And maybe that's a little harsh, some of them probably started out with good intentions to fix something local to them or their community, but power corrupts all. (power = money here). Reduce the money, and reduce the functional lifetime appointments (term limits) things would get better.

I do not think the medical diagnosis of ADHD is gonna come from short videos, probably should have said ADD not adhd

'I was dumb as a rock': Hardcore MAGA couple ditches Trump after getting 'kick in teeth' in c/politics@lemmy.world

Not sure I believe that's true. They were NEVER going to change but were slapped in the face and directly impacted, They will not ever naturally care about other people. They don't like trump because he hurt THEM. I bet they're still perfectly ok with Alligator Alcatraz, because those people are getting what they deserve.

They're not awake, they're blindly voting 'blue' because 'red' hurt them.

McDonald's Experience by non McDonald's patron. (infosec.pub)
 

So, I never visit McDonald's. Oddly, I have managed to visit them twice this year. Once a month ago while traveling and it just worked out that it made the most sense when we stopped for fuel while traveling.

And second last night. We were at the lake late and coming home just before 9pm. Most non chain places were closing, and the only local spot open was McDonald's. Had the whole family including my visiting parents.

The experience was pretty awful. First, they had 3 employees in the building, and the expectation was that you use the Kiosk. I didn't have 'strong' opinions of having to use it vs. speaking to a human. However after ordering 4 meals on it, it is quite the nightmare for the casual visitor. Probably took 4x as long to order our food.

My parents took their order on a second Kiosk and were not even able to complete their order (Parents are in their mid 70s). Not sure what happened, I wasn't watching them. My dad was quite irritated at this point.

After asking one of the humans multiple times for help, he took their order at the register.

<insert 30 minute wait for food>

Our food was placed in their pickup area in bags with napkins (store napkin holder empty). Nearly every burger was overcooked and quite dry. Both my buns were hard. The fry's were luke warm and not very fresh. The meal for 2 adults and 2 14yos was $40 bux.

I saw a story on Lemmy last week about how McDonald's profits were down and the general consensus was that it was the over priced food. While I'm sure that has an impact I believe the Kiosk, slow 'fast food' and overall experience has to be a huge negative.

My parents were PISSED, and they are historically huge McD Patrons. At least in their case, the price will not be why they do not return. Its the awful experience.

Pixel 8 Pro - studdery scrolling and moving back to main feed (infosec.pub)
 

Was hoping this would sort itself out, but after a couple weeks it's still there. Scrolling not always smooth, and swiping back from a post is always very studdery.

Wondering if others are experiencing this? Phone is 2 weeks old, came from a Pixel 7 Pro which didn't have this problem.
