...and we're back to it being woke

Sorry, I didn't mean to insinuate you were being insulting!

"Don't feel crazy/bad/dumb, I've had the same thing happen to me!" is a pretty common phrasing in my region to show sympathy and understanding and I thought that's what you had meant (and it sounds like for your area, 'pregnant' serves the same general purpose!).

It's always crazy how that happens sometimes and after weeks of banging your head, everything just 'clicks' when you're exposed to the information in the way that works best for you!

Dude, don't feel pregnant.

Context clues, I assumed this autocorrect was some variation of crazy/bad/dumb? :-D

Weirdness: My Authentik instance had a PostgreSQL upgrade prerequisite in order to update it.

I'd followed instructions 3-4 times completely unsuccessfully and had to keep reverting to backup.

So, I gave up for a couple weeks and left it be in order to get over my frustration.

Yesterday, I followed the instructions again. As far as I can tell, I did nothing different than I'd tried previously and it worked first try and then I was also able to upgrade Authentik.

NOTE: The instructions aren't exactly difficult! So, I don't see how I'd have gotten it wrong!

It made kids afraid to swim in swimming pools!

Jaws and those notes hit something primal

I don't like marijuana at all for myself (tried it twice with different methods of delivery) and found it to be extremely unpleasant.

I don't see why that should affect other people's ability to choose for themselves to enjoy it or not though. Why should they go through rehab just for enjoying something that's not negatively affecting them?

If I've had pineapples personally negatively impact my life, should I get to say you can't have any?

Yeah, DE + the process that typically goes with it (brush, shave soap, lathering it up, etc...) can do wonders to reduce the irritation.

With that said, I even found that shaving in the shower with normal hair conditioner and a DE was a better experience than the 5 bladed razors with the shave gel

OP - The blades are so cheap you can use a new one every time if you wanted (you don't need to, but you can)

They won't fucking read it though, "I'm just not a computer person! tee-hee!"

For me, that's been the major differentiator. The Boomers that don't know basic shit in 2025 are proud of it; the Zoomers that don't know have at least been willing to be shown. The Boomers that ASK to be shown though, ::chefs kiss::, now there is a passion to learn

COVID was easy mode and we (Americans at the very least) failed. If we can't handle something that's highly infectious with a pretty low death rate we're definitely not going to handle highly infectious + high mortality rate without a lot of people dying first and even then, it'll still be "left wing propaganda", I'm sure

Lisa needs measles!

A lot of people don't have a fully offline setup and still have at least some devices that talk to the cloud. If that's the case, if they make any changes, HA has to also update in response to those changes, so they really can't treat it as an 'appliance' that can just sit there.

HA devs are also pretty frequently updating HA to make it better (better dashboards, better methods to create automations, etc...) and if you update at least every couple of months you'll be able to adapt pretty easily.

Mine will largely function without internet, at least it will for anything needed, but does still need WiFi, but, I still keep it up to date. They're also constantly updating and adding services that it can tie into, so, keeping up to date adds a lot of features you may not have even known you needed/wanted.

2.1.4 is fixing things in 2.1.3 and when those broken things effect you because you decided to install a known buggy version, then you'll shift the complaint that it shouldn't have let you install the broken one that would have effected you.

Pay attention to the update notes and let the system take backups, that'll cover you 99% of the time.

I had something similar happen with a Node-Red update a few years ago and I stopped allowing automatic updates and started reading the notes and being proactive about my updates and have had zero issues since because I ensure my system is ready for the updates first.
