Check out OpenHAB. They already have containers available right on their downloads page.

It's so easy to parse what they say if you use 1984 rules. Reverse everything.

"Democrats are cheating the vote!" => "We are"

"Democrats are trafficking children and drinking their blood!" => "We are"

"Democrats are letting gangs into the country!" => "We are"

As a consumer, I'm almost glad. China was abusing that loophole to firehose so much half-assed garbage into the country. There were entire business models around people buying items from China and then reselling them on Amazon at 4x+ markup.

Reality is, once the grifters refocus, the same half-assed garbage will keep coming, it'll just come in bulk, cost more, and still be junk, and still be cheaper than if it were to be manufactured in the USA.

Parsing commas is hard, right? No, not really.

Did some research a while back.

Mango Mussolini failed businesses:

  • At least four failed building ventures
  • Had a failed “university”
  • Failed vodka business (how hard is that, right?)
  • Failed steak business
  • Failed airline
  • Failed board game
  • Failed casinos in Atlantic City (how do you fail at running multiple businesses that only exist to hoover up money?)
  • Failed magazine
  • Failed luxury travel organization
  • Failed mortgage company
  • Failed presidency that took Pres. Biden’s administration most of their entire term to fix. We’re talking documents that are gone, departments that are deleted, abject chaos that had to be rebuilt from scratch in some cases.

Successes:

  • Had mommy’s money to get him going
  • Had 5 successful buildings built, mostly in the 1980s
    • At least three of them had fraudulent financial statements, inflated valuations, and inflated tax losses

On Mac at least, you can rename the app back to Remote Desktop. Microsoft sure is dumb as a bag of bricks these days.

Probably the LARPer subcategory. The smart ones know cops aren't to be trusted due to low IQ requirements, among other problems.

Law in the US ceased to exist on January 20, 2025. The rest of us are just going through the motions until the reality catches up. (So, while in the past, something might have happened, now, they will get medals.)

Silicon Valley “needs to stop and think and impose guardrails before it launches products to market.”

Why would they? They've had unlimited freedom to do whatever they want for 30+ years. The only place ever doing anything to reign them in is the EU. The US thinks what they are doing is "capitalism", while they recklessly rewrite the fabric of society.

They use laminate glass on the side windows as well as windshield on some models for noise reduction. Traditional window breaking tools don't work on them. It's basically a tombmobile.

BNPL over-extension and collapse was one of the things that led to the 1929 stock market crash. Back then, people were BNPLing things like RCA radios. Today it's cell phones and groceries.

Too bad we can't learn from history.

All I ever see is most people using (whatever system cloud provider comes with their computer/phone/tablet) and forking over $3, 5, $10, $20 a month to make the "your cloud is full!" alert to go away.

Somewhere in the middle is the way, and in countries like the US, that something in the middle should probably not be a US cloud provider anymore.

 

The Dinosaur Fire near NCAR coincided with a heat wave and severe drought in Boulder County. ‘We don’t have a ton of concern for public safety at this time,’ said Jennifer Ciplet, public information officer with the City of Boulder, around 1:30 p.m. However, officials are urging nearby residents to have a ‘go bag’ ready in case conditions change.
