Because you only get a short term to get anything done before you might get the boot.

What’s the point of getting 3 or so years into a 20 year project if the next election cycle is going to install a government that’s will kill the whole project. Wasting money and time and public goodwill?

Act in the now to get elected next time.

Yesser, but then you wouldn’t be able to create a public version of the same community.

Can communities be private and hidden maybe?

My partner is fully and completely done with smarthome connectivity. So she’s fine with this.

I like the ability to ask the robot to turn off lights and such. So now I have to figure out if the juice is worth the squeeze around new thermostat or some kind of HomeAssistant shenanigans.

Don’t forget the masterstroke of turning the frogs gay.

A bit dramatic. The deprecated devices are like 15 years old.

Sure, it sucks. I just moved into a house with a first gen Nest learning thermostat. So I am a little annoyed.

But this post goes way into editorialising the whole thing.

It was. It was crazy fast and lightweight at the time.

It gained massive market share.

It became the default development target for websites.

Other browsers started getting left behind.

Each step syphons users from other browsers, compounding issues.

Then: “Why are all those girls trying to spend so much time with Tenchi?”

Now: “Oh. “

Something something “corpse handling gloves”

They have a funeral every time, for fun and closure before they resurrect him.

Don’t even need that. She’s protected by the 1st Amendment. Big lawsuit incoming.

That schoolbus is about to get heated, reclining seats and a Freestyle Coca-Cola machine.

If you can’t afford time to protest, that’s intentional

We’re not voting our way back to reasonable

Maybe grab some snacks and an extra chair if someone wants to talk with you. Bring a lot of water and have a bathroom picked out nearby.

If you’re not driving, maybe leave ID at home. If the cops come a knocking, be sure you know the ID laws for your area.

I’m making this up, but hopefully something helps.

Corvid, specifically.

Now’s the time, I guess?

Write down your current minimum, stick to it. You can review after a few days if there’s no interest.

Be up front, show pictures of flaws or damage on the items.

Respect people’s time. Keep the listing up to date. Try to learn from failed interactions and update the listing accordingly.

Have an idea of how the item is getting to the buyer and how much that would cost. Prefer to meet in person in a well trafficked area when others will be around and there are cameras nearby that you can rely on in case of robbery. Inside a Starbucks, for example. If someone is resistant to meeting in a public place, reconsider doing business with them.

Cash is king. Everything else can be clawed back if they scream “fraud!” Having flaws on the listing will give you a lot of power when someone tries to get the money back.

Celibate.

Honestly, if the claims are true, other driver is a danger and should be caught.

What’s up with your feet I’m that pic, bro?

You a good boy?
