Probably the “Big Beautiful Ugly Bill”, which is very unpopular, so they are trying to ram it through the house as quickly as possible.

I have a rule that “Nothing will be automated that cannot be manually overridden.”

Well, actually it’s my wife’s rule but it’s a good rule nonetheless. As a result, there’s a big panel full of relays in the basement that is the “last mile” for anything climate control or security related.

There have been a few times when it’s been handy. Like when the exhaust fan isn’t working and I don’t want to debug the ESP32 controller today so I just flip it over to “Manual”.

And Hamas.

High school/college grads during the great recession:

“First time?”

I believe those are supposed to be pumps/high heels.

My wife can spend all day in the sun and turn a nice shade of brown.

Not me. There is no “tan” for me. It’s either pasty white or lobster with no middle ground whatsoever.

Lol same. It was an emotional roller coaster. I felt sad and then confused until I reread it.

Thanks for clarifying that it’s your plushies that you keep locked up. Otherwise, I would have a lot more questions.

“Well it’s not MY fault they shot some Vietnamese kid in the face and now have nightmares and a paralyzing fear of fireworks. Guess they should have thought about that before getting drafted.”
