They were always going to win this game

He was right, I'm tired of 'winning'

[–] dmtalon@infosec.pub 1 points 2 days ago

Yep, I didn't get my dedicated room, it just didn't work out but I'm maximizing the space I have to work with.

TV is supposed to be delivered/installed today, hoping that goes smooth. Not something I would normally do, but these things are gigantic.

in our case the primary seating position is about 13 ft from the screen making the larger screen a little more important due to the layout. The couch is aligned with the side speakers where they can be and that's where the seating is

For me, for my use case it's primarily because of the size TV I want. Mine is going in the basement on a wall where I want the biggest TV I can afford. That means I could get an 83" screen in OLED or a 98-100" QLED. 15" difference is pretty dramatic.

The overall cost per vehicle is likely covering that market cap making them similarly profitable likely, at least IMHO since crar prices are fn stupid

The irony in that quote is thick

Combined over 20% last November, great times!!

Combined means we have:

first 1k kwh rate Above 1k kwh rate

And the above 1k kwh changes seasonally.

They lost me a while ago when they first started moving existing features behind paywalls.

Going public just means they'll need to find ways to grow 20% a year or be failing... Seems like subscription increases incoming! They no longer get my engagement or data so it won't impact me.

The article was interesting, and they are trying to say there's a chance that people who genetically have a lower HR, may tend to end up being more athletic which might lower it even more (and also put them at the higher scale of performance abilities) it's a lot of guessing.

And the last paragraph of the article was kinda stupid. Ain't nobody cruising around at 34bpm or 40bpm. I assume they mean to say if your training partners RHR is 34 to your mid 40's don't lose any sleep over it, but as worded using 'cruise around' and 'same mileage' makes it sound, to me, like they're referring to while exercising.

So if your training partner can cruise around with a 34 bpm heart rate while you sit in the mid-40s on the same mileage, that may reflect genetics as much as grit. That may be a frustrating or reassuring conclusion, and it may depend on which side of that heart rate threshold you sit on.

Indiana price increase in 2025 ~20% (I believe the new rates went into effect in November, and this does not include a base increase for having your house connected to the grid. I believe it was $10/mo increase making that % even larger.

100% this I do everything I can to ignore shorts

 

Who's playing? Bought it last Sunday and have been playing it quite a bit since.

 

There's this...

 

Outside of Cincinnati and noticed I had no service around 11am. Started checking around ant it seems it's pretty widespread.

Sunset (infosec.pub)

Unexpected huge sunset while driving home tonight.

The sun didn't look real in person!

 

Anyone here have a new 9? I wanted to listen to some music on my Pixel Buds Pro 1s and noticed the volume was quite low.

Looked around at various settings, but nothing weird. Swapping to my 8 and I get normal volume. Switching back, low again.

 

So, I never visit McDonald's. Oddly, I have managed to visit them twice this year. Once a month ago while traveling and it just worked out that it made the most sense when we stopped for fuel while traveling.

And second last night. We were at the lake late and coming home just before 9pm. Most non chain places were closing, and the only local spot open was McDonald's. Had the whole family including my visiting parents.

The experience was pretty awful. First, they had 3 employees in the building, and the expectation was that you use the Kiosk. I didn't have 'strong' opinions of having to use it vs. speaking to a human. However after ordering 4 meals on it, it is quite the nightmare for the casual visitor. Probably took 4x as long to order our food.

My parents took their order on a second Kiosk and were not even able to complete their order (Parents are in their mid 70s). Not sure what happened, I wasn't watching them. My dad was quite irritated at this point.

After asking one of the humans multiple times for help, he took their order at the register.

<insert 30 minute wait for food>

Our food was placed in their pickup area in bags with napkins (store napkin holder empty). Nearly every burger was overcooked and quite dry. Both my buns were hard. The fry's were luke warm and not very fresh. The meal for 2 adults and 2 14yos was $40 bux.

I saw a story on Lemmy last week about how McDonald's profits were down and the general consensus was that it was the over priced food. While I'm sure that has an impact I believe the Kiosk, slow 'fast food' and overall experience has to be a huge negative.

My parents were PISSED, and they are historically huge McD Patrons. At least in their case, the price will not be why they do not return. Its the awful experience.

 

That was a joke, way to switch to college basketball in the middle of our game

 

Just got this email from Haier (US) who seems to be distancing themselves from the EU division's decision to block Home Assistance.

Hello , (I changed this)

Thank you for reaching out with your concern.

The Haier brand in the U.S. is independent of Haier Europe and operates separately. hOn is the connected IOT platform for Haier Europe. In the U.S., consumers can use our open IOT platform, SmartHQ. SmartHQ does not prevent integrations with Home Assistant.

We appreciate you reaching out.

Kindest regards,

Digital Engagement Team Haier Appliances

 

Noticed when we got home last night our outside lights were not on, but we have an automation to turn them on if we're gone after dark. Meant to check why, but forgot.

Logged into the companion app this morning to manually toggle a switch and saw Life360 integration was not connected and "requires reconfiguration"

reentering my password and trying to log in is not working. I tried removing and re-adding the integration but the problem remains. Now I cannot re-add the integration as it will not sign in.

Anyone else experiencing this?

 

We seemed a bit quick to want to start fights tonight. I believe while the ref was a bit quick to yellow card a couple of our players, others got lucky.

Moreno could have easily been carded early on. Badji could have gotten a red for his punch.

Otherwise a great game for us, but I hope those yellows don't come back and bite us.

 

Was hoping this would sort itself out, but after a couple weeks it's still there. Scrolling not always smooth, and swiping back from a post is always very studdery.

Wondering if others are experiencing this? Phone is 2 weeks old, came from a Pixel 7 Pro which didn't have this problem.
