I just farted and waved it in the general direction of the US. Enjoy.

Oh, did she finally get tired of gaslighting everyone about Elon's bullshit? Apparently they paid enough for her to look like a toadying liar for enough years to get her rich enough to fuck off.

generated $7 million in fines

That's the only thing that matters to the city. A speed camera slows down the 5% of people that actually see it for about 100', and the rest blithely speed on by until they get a ticket 3 weeks later. And no demerits are issued.

Build calming measures but that doesn't generate revenue, so they won't. They'll just keep putting up cameras, or rather subletting the fines to a camera company that takes a cut and pays for the cameras.

I was the 3-year-old ring bearer.

I'm in literally the middle of nowhere, the next nearest house is 4 miles away and I'm not even connected to the grid. If there's a wifi signal detectable, it'll be mine. So I've shifted frequencies around trying to get it to stabilize, with little luck. I've primarily been using Sonoff, Aqara, Ikea and SMLight, and hubs from each of them.

Honestly, I've been migrating to zwave since I don't seem to have issue with anything I use on that protocol.

Things are bad when I consider being kidnapped by the Chinese government as less likely than the US.

It makes sense. Hopefully it's more reliable than my Zigbee devices. I constantly have to power cycle devices made by a variety of manufacturers to get them to register again. And I've tried more than a few zigbee hubs. Can't say I'm a fan.

It's... scared

Every show and movie has become a preachy soapbox. It's fucking tiring and you just want to turn it off because you suddenly get slapped in the face with irrelevant "causes" instead of just zoning out and being entertained. The suspension of disbelief gets exhausted at yet another 110lb hottie thrashing a 6'-4 steroid monster that could backhand her across the room in real life.

Thing like this are why there's a million settings in KDE; every dev is prepared for the inevitable "but I hate it, make it go away" complaint. Granted, this complainer was pretty respectful and threw in a donation to soften the blow. Most people just act entitled, like the dev personally affronted them with their update.

 

Since I upgraded, I have one screen of my 4 that won't go to sleep with the other 3, and my tiling setup gets reset on reboot. 6.4.1 on Fedora.

 

My 77 CJ7 has run for years without any attention, not that I put any great miles on it. This summer it decided it was going to be difficult, so now I have to remember how a carb works, with very small success.

I took it all apart and cleaned it, and blew out the jets. Put it all back together and tried it, no dice. When I come off of throttle, it dies unless I very carefully feather it down to idle. I'm clueless about what's wrong, and have run out of dead chickens to wave over the necromantic device.

I think it would be less trouble to pull the engine and put in a spare 4.0L I have on the shelf.

The pre-charged kits are fairly inexpensive and surprisingly easy to put in, but you'll need about $400 in extra shit.

My extra shit list:

Disconnect box

Surge suppressor

Liquid-tight whip

Lineset chase

20A breaker

Various holesaws

12/3 wire

Caulking

Duct seal

Extra insulation

Wall mount or concrete paving block
