1 year agoI use PIA because it was the cheapest on their 3.3 year plan, and it has a good node geographically close to me with port forwarding. I only use it for torrenting, so I don’t care if it’s a CIA Honeypot or whatever.

You usually need to grab most reality shows on the day they air because nobody seeds them after a few days. I recommend using some kind of rss feed setup, either through sonarr or with your torrent app.
Showrss.info is pretty good for beginners. It allows you to make a customized rss feed that has the shows you want in the formats you prefer. I checked and they have house hunters. This won’t help with back episodes, but at least you can start accumulating the new ones
I think the only way it will work is if you connect via Bluetooth(if the echo dot can do that). Casting basically just sends a URL to the device and it fetches the audio feed itself. Since xmanager isn’t on the echo, it can’t block the ads.
I have the same issue when playing through my Google Home’s. I tried looking for a domain to block through my router, but I couldn’t find one that wouldn’t also block the music.
12·1 year agoAll of the other arguments are good, but I want to add one thought I have.
One aspect of UBI that worries me is that most plans want to eliminate all current welfare policies and replace them with UBI. That makes it really easy for some future government to neuter what small benefits people currently have.
If they want to cut all welfare programs now, they have to pass tons of legislation to eliminate food banks, EBT, Social security, SSI, Section 8, HUD public housing, fuel assistance, etc. They would be putting a ton of the federal and state employees that administer these programs out of work. Most of the public has accepted that these programs are the status quo and would be against eliminating them. There are reasons these things haven’t been taken completely away during previous austerity movements.
If it’s just UBI, it’s just one number that can be adjusted down or left to dwindle due to inflation.
It’s all bandaids for the real problem, but those bandaids are currently keeping some people alive and I don’t want to trade them away for some tech bro plan that can be easily fucked with when the public starts thinking UBI is the cause of inflation or higher taxes or whatever.
That’s exactly what the shopkeepers privilege is, an immunity to false arrest claims when they have suspicion you’ve stolen something.
The two cases I found, the judges decided that refusing to show the receipt was enough to provide that suspicion
The customer sued the store civilly for false arrest after security held them.
If you called a cop they would say, “it’s a civil issue” because cops don’t do shit when businesses do crime to consumers.
I was at BJ’s wholesale, where they always check every receipt. Usually it’s just a cursory glance, but one day they had some cop wannabe checking off every item on the receipt, causing a huge backup. I pushed my cart past the line and left. The guy chased me out into the parking lot, took my plate number and told me he was calling the cops. Nothing came of it, but it embarrassed the shit out of my partner.
I went home and did a bunch of research. From what I found, there aren’t a lot of cases that addressed the issue, but I found a two civil cases where people were physically detained after refusing to show their receipt. They sued for false arrest and their cases were both dismissed. I’m not a lawyer and there may be newer case law on this.
I hate the checks, but it isn’t worth it to me to risk dealing with cops when I’m not getting anything from it and making someone else’s job harder.
Checking receipts when you leave a store. They have cameras everywhere and they can access my receipt through their computer system. I already paid, this is my stuff, they shouldn’t be able to detain me without suspicion I stole something.
I don’t raise a stink with the poor person checking receipts, though, because I am not an asshole.
10·1 year agoI remember being in 4th grade and my teacher taught us about the formation of Israel. That night I mentioned to my dad about how Israel was made by taking the land of other nations. My dad was like, “How do you think America was made? It was made by stealing other people’s land”.
To this day I have no idea if my dad was being based or justifying the existence of Israel. Probably the latter, knowing my father, but I’m choosing to believe it was the former.
3·1 year agoIt appears to be a browser plugin that bypasses those countdowns that paying link shorteners use to force you to look at ads. Sites like adf.ly
1·1 year agoFor my Honda Accord you needed to buy a dealer installed addon(called home link IIRC) to get the garage door buttons.
Home Assistant works pretty well with Android Auto. If I had a garage door I’d connect it to HA with esphome and access it that way.
1·1 year agoMost of the tubs I’ve had in america are too small for me to actually use. Both too shallow and too short. Half my body would be out of the water.
My last bath was also around 10 years ago in a hotel that had a nice deep tub.

The best part is how the OP never admits being wrong and still gets it wrong in the last post before closing the thread
1·1 year agoI’m using amcrest cameras with frigate. They work offline, but their doorbell cameras are wireless only, IIRC.
Frigate records and does object detection, so you can get notifications(with photos in the notification) only when there is a certain object in a certain area(like only people in one area, cars and people in another, cats in a third area).
It’s a cheap setup if you already have a server running 24/7. It takes quite a bit of setup, but has been trouble free since.

One of the billionaires who owns Clarence Thomas did have business before the court and he didn’t recuse himself.
One of his clerks received 7 payments for thousands of dollars via venmo labelled “Clarence Thomas Christmas party” from conservative lawyers who have argued cases before the court.
The lawyers who made the Venmo transactions were: Patrick Strawbridge, a partner at Consovoy McCarthy who recently successfully argued that affirmative action violated the US constitution; Kate Todd, who served as White House deputy counsel under Donald Trump at the time of the payment and is now a managing party of Ellis George Cipollone’s law office; Elbert Lin, the former solicitor general of West Virginia who played a key role in a supreme court case that limited the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions; and Brian Schmalzbach, a partner at McGuire Woods who has argued multiple cases before the supreme court.
I don’t have AC and haven’t really needed it this year. I’m way north in New Hampshire.
We keep the heat at 63-65f(about 17c) in the winter, but occasionally go up to 67 when it’s warmer out and the furnace doesn’t have to work as hard to keep it there.
These posts always make me question myself because I’ve basically never worn deodorant or antiperspirant.
I’ve had jobs where you can’t be stinky(sales,office jobs, at a hospital), and nobody has ever said anything. I’ve lived with partners for 16 years, none have ever complained about my smell(besides times when anyone would smell, like after a long run on a hot day).
I’m guessing I just have lucky personal body chemistry, but I’m sure there will be some people telling themselves I’m just smelly and don’t know it.
