Magical accidents. Potions. Demon summoning accidents.

Another narrative: employment was up and workers were gaining power. Out of nowhere, JP Morgan Chase chairperson started going to meetings and talking about a recession, over and over. Other businesses took his lead and started raising prices. After a while we're no closer to a recession, but we have lost a lot in standard of living.

Mush didn't found Tesla. He bought it later and put in the contract that he was able to call himself a founder

Motorcycle emissions standards are incredibly lax by today's standards when compared to cars. That Prius just might be releasing less toxic substances than your motorcycle - while being able to cart around more people and stuff.

Makes me realize how important curating media is for her. She's going to think any bad thing that happens to a kid is happening to her.

So, it's more interesting than this. The trees are playing the squirrels. There's a normal amount of acorns that can support a normal amount of squirrels. But once every few years, the trees make a bunch more acorns. More than the normal amount of squirrels can eat. But not frequent enough that the number of squirrels increase. So the squirrels go crazy and hide em everywhere that year, but there's no way they can eat them all, so there are a bunch of acorns planted.
Tldr: trees manipulate # of acorns to get squirrels to plant more.

Reminder that farmers can spend something like a dollar per cow per year to allow their cattle to roam through public lands to cause erosion, shit in streams, spread giardia, and give farmers reasons to kill coyotes and wolves.

Steps:

  1. Schedule races in only Trump counties
  2. Heavily publicize it via monster truck style ads
  3. Have people asking and recording mildly leading questions about gender and sexuality to audiences waiting to get in.
  4. At halfway through the race, inform audience that all drivers are current/former contestants on Ru Paul's drag race
  5. Profit off of video compilation of rednecks questioning their sexuality

I might not know what I'm talking about, but if they were cached on my browser I'd see them load instantly after loading once, right? But they take a bit to load each time when viewed on opera mobile.
Seems like a good way to reduce server costs?

Someone would make a killing of they created an easy to use home dashboard with an eink display. Low power, 8x11, customizable with Android apps. Refreshes once a minute. Has weather and traffic and calendar in the morning, and displays photos in the afternoon.
LCDs are terrible in terms of power consumption. But a big, slow eink would be great.

Cameras not being allowed is actually really good in this case. Using a court hearing as a campaign event isn't how things should be done

Air at EV charging (kbin.social)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I had a tire that needed air in my tire, so I went to the gas station with my EV and got some in there.
That's great for now, but what happens in several years when the number of Gas stations declines? Gas stations have been great resources for air, bathrooms, and snacks on road trips. What is going to replace it?

With Surveillance Station, you can set up push notifications to send an email, text, or notification on mobile via DS Cam app.

I get the email service - you're authenticating yourself as the email account holder and sending an email. Do images transmit to Synology controlled servers before getting to your email inbox?

With push notifications to DS Cam, the same question. Are any images transmitted to any other servers before arriving on my phone?

These may be straightforward - but I was burned on the Eufy scandal and don't want a similar situation here.

Apologies if I'm off base here, but I have two issues I'm trying to solve and unsure where I should start - whether these are two separate issues to solve or if I should get something that can do both.

Needs:

  1. backup and safely store photos and videos from Android phones (in a raid array so it's redundant storage).
  2. monitor a set of 2 exterior cameras and a) throw a notification onto a phone when there's movement b) without giving footage or thumbnails to an external server.

About me:
I'm tech literate enough to Google things and copy/paste or troubleshoot based on what worked for others, but I'd like to avoid having to learn to code or run command lines. I have young kids and don't really want to have to spend a whole lot of time on this to get it to work or walk my spouse through how to use it.

Options considered:
1a) a Synology product seems like the lowest barrier to entry, but the risk seems to be less ability to fix and potentially more risk of unrecoverable data (GN did videos about this). 1b) multiple hard drives on a PC - works but would suck if my PC fries. 1c) multiple external drives - seems wonky and easier for something to fail. 1d) all of the above and hope it somehow works.
2a) Eufy looked like a good option (local storage and push notifications), until the recent scandal. I am not interested in having pics of little girls on a server somewhere, even if it is only outside pictures. 2b) a wired camera connection - however I'm not going to know if anyone is doing something sketchy unless I know to review the footage. 2c) Synology has an option - however there are the issues mentioned above and I'd also need to drop $400 for the cameras, $200 for the station, and a couple hundred for the drives. 2d) make my own mini comp - however more likely for wonky stuff and higher power draw over the long term.

Any suggestions on where to go from here?

I need to either replace my office chair or replace it's wheels - they're killing my wood floors when the chair moves off the mat.
Amazon is now an abyss of sponsored listings and fake reviews and algorithms - so I'm unable to get good feedback on a solution.
I've heard that the skateboard style replacements are good - but too rolly, leading to unwanted movement.
Any suggestions on replacements that have worked for you?
