If you buy this property you're going to be sitting there waiting for the day they send you a letter to tell you they're expanding their mine onto your property.

That's a level of uncertainty that I would not be comfortable with for my home. If it's "recreation" property, like hunting land, then maybe I would feel differently.

I have a homeassistant instance connected to a no-name Z-wave thermostat. It's been flawless for almost 10 years.

Well, that's horrifying yet unsurprising.

I don't get the left's insistence on arguing against the entirety of right winger's arguments. There's no evidence that the 2020 election was stolen, but that doesn't mean they should have argued that there's nothing to be concerned about with regard to election security. When you take a standpoint like that you end up with no credibility when something like this is revealed.

It happens on so many other topics:
Pastors may rape more children than drag queens, but that doesn't mean there are no predators in our big tent.
Most people wouldn't spike halloween candy with drugs, but I've met plenty of people who really get off on getting other people drunk/high beyond the point of reason.

A lot of people don't actually share the ideals of the group they identify as part of, and the sooner we realize that the better off we'll be.

Sure they will.

Does anyone believe this jackass' promises anymore?

I'm just going to assume he was confirmed on party lines.

Yeah, that was my point.

I agree that there is genocide happening. I also understand that the guy who got elected is actively in favor of it and wouldn't lift a finger to stop it if everyone in the country begged him, while the person who lost was trying to balance millions of conflicting priorities (and sadly those dying are not the top priorities) and the result isn't what I want. There are other things to consider after you realize you're not going to get what you want.

He also had a "750-milliliter bottle of 100-proof vodka and a gray sweatshirt with cloth cut off the sleeves" in his car.

Fucking pathetic "arsenal" if you're going to firebomb anything, really.

Trump's officials also removed from the Pentagon a portrait depicting Gen Milley's as chair of the joint chiefs of staff.

Hmmm…

Maybe some of those people who he's not popular with should have fucking voted.

Fuck the "echo chamber" discourse. I reject it entirely.I am not here to wear an ascetic's hair shirt because you think that surrounding myself with dickheads builds character.

They said that the President is immune from prosecution for "official acts." That means he can't go to jail for crimes he commits so long as they are official acts. Official acts is undefined, so it means whatever the Supreme Court wants it to.

This is a civil lawsuit.
