Blink. Winks are asymmetrical.

If you leave a preacher hanging, you’re leaving god hanging.

My mom also used ours to hold dough during rising.

I had so many of those as a child. In hindsight, having a drawer full of (sometimes damp) animal shaped sponges was weird.

The link text goes in the square brackets, then the full url goes in the parenthesis. And if you put an exclamation point in front of the first bracket, it’ll display the image instead of link to it.

The Grimace birthday shake, the one at the McD that still has the Grimace jail, and Grimace.

I use Proxmox because its handy to be able to use both LXC containers and full VMs. I installed it as an ISO so its built on top of Debian. There are helper scripts specific to installing Home Assistant on a VM (as well as a number of other things). And the proxmox UI comes in handy.

I have Home Assistant in a VM so I can run it on top of HAOS. Then the rest of the box is set up as an unprivileged LXC where I installed docker. I run all my *ARR apps straight on my Synology (via docker) so they have fast access to my Library volume, and everything else running on the setup I just described. Then I use Portainer to maintain my containers so I can manage both the syno and proxmox docker installs from one page.

Not true at all. If you want to run Home Assistant on top of Home Assistant OS then it needs to be on bare metal or a full VM because its an OS. Running on HAOS is easy mode, but not required.

A few hosts offer alternative frontends, that’s how I found Alexandrite in the first place. A few will alternatively offer Proton. And I’ve seen a couple that have an old. subdomain where they run mlmym

A locally hosted instance of Alexandrite. I’m almost always viewing on a laptop.

Modern generations will never know what’s been lost.

When I was a kid we had an electric piano with a degauss button. It was more fun than learning to play.

It’s an LG dryer.

I’d have to go look up the window unit. Its almost certainly a white labeled OEM who’s advertised brand no longer exists, though.

Neither mentioned a network connection was required. The AC unit didn’t mention it at all, and consumer reports mentioned the dryer had “smart features” and an app but never said basic controls were locked behind a network connection

How close are you to a starlink constellations orbital path, now that they can be connected to via cellular modems?

Pictures are far from the only thing to worry about.

I can’t set my dryer to medium heat unless I do so with an app over the internet even though the controls exist to do it on the unit. I bought a window AC unit and the only remote control is an app - thankfully I was able to put that on a subnet with no internet gateway and it still works.

Coming soon (if not already): TVs with utility cellular connections or corpo network (like Amazon sidewalk) access that your neighbor may have not opted out of.

Sure, Linus and Richard get praised for making GNU Linux. But when I tried to make by own, the zoo kicked me out of the water buffalo enclosure.

• Laughing burns about 1 calorie per minute.
• I may have 10 extra pounds of fat stored on my fucking ass (probably a bit less, but round numbers are nice)
• Fat is 4100 calories per pound
• 41,000 minutes is roughly 1 lunar month of nonstop laughing

Now you just need to convert units of funny into lunar months of laughing. I’m not doing all your homework for you.

Giving an ultimatum to choose between the US and China at a time when the dollar’s value is dropping and BRICS nations are pushing to unseat it as the world reserve currency. That seems like smart, long term thinking right there.
