Damnit, i thought i checked the date. Oh, well. Its cute anyway.

I think maybe Tom Brady, and the other Boston sports stars who also beat your teams, encouraged more people to live here. Or maybe it was the ritual sacrifices I made to the Traffic Demon Lord of Sports Betting.

I just hope it was one of those high paying, once in a lifetime jobs.

A 3.5 hr commute is not acceptable for any life. Also, a 4am wakeup is horrible too. What could your friend possibly need so bad in New York?

I never got to go there before it closed and I was bummed. Somehow I don’t think the rebuild will have any of the old school charm of the original.

While the whole thing was pretty ridiculous, I think it showed the value of the emergency broadcast system. I felt informed and up to date.

I need someone to force me to use them, because I always forget. Hopefully if the only option is to buy reusable ones each time, I will eventually remember.

Thank you, I felt the premise of the article was too black and white. I think independent journalism is critical to a functioning society as is government. Therefore, government needs to encourage independent journalism somehow. It’s easy to find examples of state sponsored media that is obviously propaganda, but there has to be an middle ground. If public funded journalism was the ideal balancer, for example, maybe government could have a system of helping news outlets setup public funding infrastructure? I just hate the idea of saying “government bad”.

Yeah, was she remorseful because she was tricked or because she did something atrocious?

Agreed. It is harder to explain, but better in every other way. Not much of a down side in my book.

I think what is hard to explain is how you determine who wins. Most people understand that in “old school” voting the one with the most votes wins. With ranked choice, how does it handle multiple people with very different rankings. Its easy to say “the one that most people preferred” or “instant runoff” but explaining how that is calculated is not easy. I am very much for ranked choice, and I was devastated when it lost the vote, but it’s biggest hurdle is comprehension, and that is something for FUD’lers to prey on.

She is looking a bit world weary. Real estate is expensive in Boston.

Glad I could help.

Create a template sensor that is the opposite value of the door sensor and include that one in your auto entities instead of the door one.

Did you steal our kitties?

I did some testing on my phone, Samsung S22, and it looks like 1:1 uses the most of the sensor. Any other aspect ratio was zooming in. This is particularly upsetting to me since I was using the “full” setting which cropped the most but I thought I was using the most of the sensor.

Awesome! Glad I could help.

I don’t fully understand why them having access to your home assistant is necessary. Do you want them to be able to create automations triggered from your data? If so, you could set up automations that send web hook calls to their instance which they can use to trigger automations. To make this easier since you both have UniFi you should be able to join the networks through a VPN. That way you don’t have to worry about the cloud service.

I use the aqara motion sensors and the battery sensors plummet almost immediately to 70% but then stay there for months. I’ve had them for over a year now and they haven’t been a problem.

I think we are going to have to develop moderator bots in an ever escalating war. I am not kidding.
