How Six People Covered Up Truth That Biden Was ‘Out of It’ in c/[email protected]
[–] dream_weasel 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Has nothing to do with being a fact or not. Today is trump day 1, we all knew this was the case for biden, and ozma is fucking tone deaf.

This is a downvote because it is not contributing in a way that anyone needs or wants to see today.

Nonsence? Nonsence?

The machine that makes the memes also checks the spells you know.

Many won't know.

The first one was dances with wolves in space, but visually beautiful. Second was literally unwatchable for me. I paid to watch it, and had to stop less than 15 minutes in. Just awful.

So the first two times I read the last panel I thought the doctor was actually a genie... and that made it all pretty hard to follow TBF.

As someone who blocked blahaj as soon as instance blocking was available, this whole situation has been nothing but upside so far.

Given the choice between kids in cages, outrageous nepotism and kakistocracy, insurrection, blatant authoritarianism, and LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE, nobody should need to convince you to choose "anything else". It should be self evident.

Democrats may suck, but "I voted for pre-hitler because you didn't sell something I wanted to buy" looks way worse on the voters who just can't see the value or the difference. You are right we should have better options, but I reject the idea out of hand that the rise of trumpism rests solely on democrats not being exciting. Likewise I wouldn't say they are the ones voting against their own interests.

Oh yeah it's worth having a tachometer, but I don't know why you want one that takes up as much space as the speedometer on the gauge cluster. It seems gratuitous to me.

I am not an off-road guy, but I drove a stick and towed heavy stuff forever. You don't need the tach if you have experience or ears. If you can't drive manual without a tach, you're a shit driver frankly.

The only reason I've ever used a tach is for break-in on a vehicle or for hypermiling.

Edit: before I went electric in 2017 and haven't looked back :)

Basically nobody actually needs a tach taking up as much space as the speedometer.

I still don't feel bad about such people getting adjusted if it means a shift in perspective.

Body shaving for ladies? (self.wetshaving)

So I've been wet shaving a long time and I'm pretty handy with a DE razor, a half hollow straight, and a shavette, but I'm at a loss for this one...

My wife is getting laser hair removal for several areas including Brazilian, and there are sone places she just can't shave. Apparently a wax is no good because they are basically destroying the hair root and follicle and it targets the melanin?

So, to the point, my wife took a shower today and did her best, then I took a quick shot with my adjustable DE, but the results were... not so good. I think this may be a shavette problem for control, but I gotta see what I'm doing so a thick soap lather cushion is out. Also there's some delicate contouring obviously which is pretty different from my leathery flat face.

The treatments are kinda pricey so it's important to get a clean shave, and anything she can't do is basically the most important stuff to zap... But I figure the first time I cut her or leave a nick I'm out. I gotta figure out the... uh... Front door back door problems because those are just not flat areas and the risk of failure or accident seems high.

Anybody got experience? Or ideas? Water-based lubricant was pretty decent (the third thing I tried) to help the shave, but tools and materials seem like important choices to make.

Edit: Mods I'd mark NSFW but idk how to do it. This is like my 3rd lemmy post ever.

A good zigbee repeater light switch? (self.homeassistant)
 

I have been using the Kasa (TP-Link) branded smart switches around my house, but now that I have a few third reality zigbee sensors for my doors and so on, I am seeing the value of using more outlets/switches that act as zigbee repeaters. Do any of you have pretty reasonable (and cheapish) smart light switches or outlets I can invest in? The Amazon offerings are in the $50 each one which is pretty steep, though I guess I could just do one each room and do the rest with Kasa stuff.

I would like to expand the zigbee mesh network so I can use the devices where I actually want them without using smart outlet devices plugged into real outlets all over the place. If there was something that was $20 or less each item that would be super excellent. The wife and I plan to move in the not too distant future and I'd like to replace the "in the wall" stuff so that HA works throughout the house and I don't have plugs / dongles / wall warts all over the place.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

DAP-UI default window layout? (self.neovim)
 

Really enjoying nvim-dap-ui lately, but I always have to adjust the sizes of the windows. The docs have left me high and dry so far, but maybe one of you have a good solution for a consistent layout when you first attach to a file?

Custom Netflix programs on android tv (self.homeassistant)
 

I saw a post of the guy doing NFC to get various disney+ and Netflix shows. I've installed an integration with ADB... and have no idea how to proceed. Any of you have yaml snippets I can steal to that end?

I really want to be able to turn on the lights, turn on the TV, and start cocomelon for my daughter on Netflix in the basement as a one stop script, but I apparently am not smart enough.

The other guy link is in Reddit so I'm not going to link it but it is really easy to find on Google: an NFC card system for Netflix.

Thanks!
