I know someone who became a licensed realtor so he could sell his own house and take/save the commission.

Why the flying fuck would anyone want a home automation system that isn’t voice controlled?

I don’t want a voice assistant controlled by Google, Amazon, or Apple… but I value it so much I’m willing to compromise until there’s a better option. This is a huge step in the right direction.

I setup my voice activated lights when my daughter was an infant. It was great being able to sit in a chair and rock her to sleep and be able to say “Google, it’s nap time” and have the lights properly adjust, and the fan turn on. I also use it in my office when I have a video call to adjust the lights so my camera looks better. I can also lock my door, adjust my HVAC, and play music without needing to stop doing whatever I’m busy with.

My local minor league hockey team would have the concession stands staffed with volunteers, and their tips would go towards their kids sports teams. This wouldn’t be so bad if the food prices reflected the fact that they weren’t paying for labor. A can of beer for $14. A small hotdog for $8. Popcorn for $6. And then you get told “I’m a volunteer, all tips go to support my kids team”. It was hard to train myself to hit the “No Tip” button, but eventually it got easier.

And then, as if it couldn’t get worse, they moved to a new arena that has completely automated concession checkouts. You grab what you want, put it on a counter that has a camera and it tallies it up for you. It’s an amazing process… but then, it asks you to tip.

And while I’m bitching… they also went ticketless, all tickets require a smartphone. And they charge for the convenience of them using my device too help them deliver tickets. Same with parking, must pay using your phone and there’s a $0.50 convenience charge.

My goal while driving is to ensure that I don’t make any other drivers have to hit their brakes unnecessarily.

Is there any way we could purchase

Purchase? Fuck that, this company (and its investors) failed their customers. They should be forced to Open Source all of their code.

It also needs people hosting instances. The majority of the time when I want to view a video that’s hosted on Peertube I find that it is no longer available. Hosting video is expensive and this is going to be the biggest hurdle for the platform to overcome.

First, another fucking Pennsylvania McDonald’s getting involved where it shouldn’t. I’m done eating at McDonald’s in Pennsylvania now.

But I wonder if this was intentional. Now we all get to hear what he has to say. Hopefully he turns out to be a leader.

We have a president who says that he could do exactly what The Adjuster did, and get away with it. If the president can do it, why not this guy?

I don’t like it, but this is our world right now.

She.

You know, there’s technically nothing stopping them from voting for Putin as Speaker of the House.

I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church and I remember the preacher standing in front of the whole church preaching about why we need to support Israel because rebuilding the temple is required for Armageddon. They read Revelations and want to experience it, rather than fear it.

It’s probably in the US. We have no justice here.

Bartley suggested that murder was not the appropriate charge because the shooting came at a time of “extreme emotional disturbance” for his client.

The extreme emotional disturbance is because he was accused of not properly training and supervising his deputy… who raped a woman in the judge’s office.

While you’d think an adult (the deputy) would know that they shouldn’t rape someone, the sheriff is the one who deputized him, and is responsible for giving him power in the community.

But then your loved one (mom, dad, sister,child) dies.

If I were behind you I would have honked at you for not honking at them.

If I was behind the car that’s behind you and they aren’t honking at you for not honking at the person in front of you, I would then honk at the person behind you.

There’s nothing wrong with a honk to get someone’s attention when they should be driving.

I just got off of a flight, it was about 40 minutes in the air, and there were people who paid to upgrade to ‘first class’ for a 40 minute flight.

I’d rather be peasant class than so weak that I couldn’t stand 40 minutes sitting 6 inches closer to the person next to me.

Automatic1111 or DiffusionBee is probably what you’re looking for. Then you’ll need to grab some models from Hugging Face.

This looks really interesting, so if I have a folder on a computer and I have it setup to share, then any time something gets added to that folder then is it automatically updated for anyone with the link?

Also, where should people go to help, or find out how to help?
