It's a good thing a bunch of Dems folded to reopen the government so people wouldn't go hungry.

Good job guys, you got played, again.

As a friend of mine says: "The American Bar Association is a very agree-to-disagree organization. If the ABA is warning about an imminent collapse of the rule of law, we are down to studs and wires."

One thing I like about Z-Wave and Zigbee devices is that they can't connect to the internet no matter what, because they don't have the hardware for it.

  • This means you don't need to worry about them phoning home with usage data. (privacy)
  • It means you don't need to worry about them being used by a hacker to penetrate your network. (security)
  • It means you don't need to worry about them being a node in some botnet mining crypto for someone else with your electricity. (resource usage)

You've already got HomeAssistant to connect them to your Google Home or HomeKit account, so you can still turn on your closet light from the bar or whatever. You're not losing anything by them not being connected to the internet directly. You just never have to worry about that stuff. Instead of having to keep 40 devices that were sold by some company that no longer exists up to date on their firmware, you just need to keep HA up to date.

All it costs is one $30 usb dongle.

Just like Facebook's search "accidentally" suppressing Democrat searches. Firstly, why would you have that ready to "accidentally" deploy? Secondly, There's no way something like that gets enabled without multiple levels of manager approval. Facebook isn't some startup where anyone can push code to production.

They would have literally set the White House on fire using pipe bombs.

Maybe some of those people who he's not popular with should have fucking voted.

My neighbor is a neurologist and told me that an astoundingly high number of people who come to the ER due to a stroke had recently had a rapid neck adjustment by a chiropractor.

I will never go to a chiropractor after what she told me.

My brother, a right winger, brought his kids up to visit me last summer.

It was at the end of the week that he told me that I hardly work at all. I'm like: Yeah, I have fucking guests in my house. I was still at my desk when I wasn't trying to keep 2 teenaged girls entertained.

He moved his family 1000 miles away and 20 years later is lamenting that they have no relationship with the people he moved away from. (I'm sure it's just a coincidence that this lines up with the rise of "Family" talk from right wingers.) This same guy calls other people "Sheeple".

The word they're avoiding is "suppress". It needs to be suppressed because they don't want anymore CEOs getting what they deserve.
