And he made an absolute killing’ off of that song too by initially making the song popular before they just contracted services for distribution instead of the normal record deal which entirely favors the record companies. He is talented and very smart.

I love this. This is how we all learn and grow. Good on both of you.

I’m pretty sure they all swap ideas on how best to fascistize. Maybe contributing to some global fascist playbook.

Yeah I have built little wireless sensors using ESPHome. I figured this way I could just make it work with software since it was essentially for a joke and not really important.

The only thing I really use the connectivity for is to let me know when someone left the fridge door open. Which unfortunately happens a lot.

If we get through this administration as a country, I just wanna stay alive long enough to see all the documentaries making fun of this bat shit crazy stuff. My fear is this is now the baseline as we hurl to the more prophetic future of Idiocracy.

It’s like he’s bathing in beet juice or something.

He sorta looks like a radish.

I think it’s cute you think the AI sites are paying attention to robots.txt. 🤣

I mean I can sorta understand some convenience functions but it oughta have some default setting it falls back to. Especially temperature settings.

I do have a Samsung fridge but nothing that fancy. I mean I tried to get it to trigger an Alexa routine to play a message when the door opened but that didn’t work. Alexa saying “Close the door fatty, you’re not really hungry” could have been motivational.

One could argue that allowing it to happen helped to fabricate it.

All I found was 15 year old documentation, broken hard drives, and bulldog clips when I did mine.

Google has done good things. Google has also done shitty things. To me the problem is the good things aren’t frequent enough and the bad things seem to be the default recently.

I’m guessing within Microsoft, it’s probably was a pain in the ass to get whatever department in MS that controls the microsoft.com domain to set up a subdomain.

I’ve had to deal with shit like this personally so I guarantee that was at least one reason. The departments that control the domain treat it like some sort of power trip and make it hard to do the smart thing.

It’s gotten to the point if the GOP wants it, there is some underlying nefarious reason so I should hate it. I mean if they suddenly wanted UBI, universal health care, and 3 day work weeks I’d start to wonder what’s up.

I bet the Monsters Manual was written by a paladin.

I’m loathe to admit how long this took me to get.

TIHI.

Not sure I’d call NC uneducated. Nationally it’s pretty average (22nd) but 2 of the top 10 most educated metro areas in the country are Raleigh/Cary and Durham/Chapel Hill. Most of the folks that go to the major universities just don’t leave, so the population is very educated in these regions.

But there are lots of rural areas that have lots of Trump signs for sure.

The only thing he’ll annihilate is one of the white house bathrooms.

I had to fix this….
