Sarcasm can be difficult to catch in online conversations. Yours, however, came through like hot sauce on chicken wings.
Very cool article! (Har) Tx for posting.
Little bit of a goofy mistake in it about a supposed 1939 St. Louis World Fair. NYC was 1939. St. Louis was 1904.
I don't recall any lasting sleep benefits, but you're absolutely right that there ain't NOTHIN like a Propofol nap. Amazing. And when I woke up, completely, instantly awake, no grogginess or hangover effect.
No wonder MJ was addicted.

It's kind of interesting to consider how all of the so-called dirty words got their start. Historically, a swear or an oath is a promise before God that your words are true and you'll do what you say. If a person swore with an oath and then broke their promise, they were considered to be profane (treating something sacred with irreverence or disrespect) or to have uttered profanity. So in that sense, the words oath, swear, and profanity are all connected in that they all have to do with invoking the name of God or Jesus Christ.
Historically, the word "vulgar" merely refers to that which is common. For instance, Vulgar Latin was the everyday speech of the Roman people. Nothing dirty or low about that. Now however, the term "vulgar" has come to mean "coarse or crude." All of the dirty words that deal with "coarse or crude" aspects of our humanity (words for bodily functions, organs and acts, for instance) would be considered vulgarities.
So technically in this meme Kirk is requesting a swear, and Mr. Spock responds with a vulgarity, a mistake he most certainly would never make because that would be fucking illogical.

LeVar Burton has striking eyes to begin with. When a person is used to seeing him as Geordi with his visor on, seeing him with it off is like he has 100 watt bulbs screwed into his head.
I only understood about 60% of what I was reading, but this was really interesting.
Success: Using ChatGPT to solve a complex HA task involving YAML and Lovelace
It seems I've been using Home Assistant forever -- at least 5 years, maybe 6. I've gotten pretty good at it and have a fairly complex setup. Between YAML and Node-RED, there's generally no problem I can't solve given enough time and brain sweat.
But this weekend I tackled a problem that stumped me involving my Logitech Harmony remote and buttons in lovelace. I wanted to dynamically change the target device based on the family room harmony hub's current activity. So for instance, the Rewind button behaves differently if I'm watching TV versus watching Roku. The different devices have different remote codes which the Harmony software handles easily. I wanted the same dynamic adaptation using the media card I'd built:

Try as I might, I just couldn't figure it out. I understood the logic of what I needed to do, but I was getting nowhere making it work in lovelace. Initially I thought it was just a matter of YAML indentation or maybe some small nuance of t
Yep, same here.

“Earlier today, we spoke with representatives from Twitter and they will send a letter to us to say that X.com will be used by Twitter…”
Ah, yes. A letter, the choice of grandparents and luddites worldwide.
If it’s a low rate, I’d be fine with that.

Does anyone know: can you buy Humble Bundle games and play them through Steam?

I really would like to give this post a thumbs up but regrettably am unable to do so due to the childhood trauma inflicted upon me by my evil parents of having been made to pick bush beans for interminable hours in the hot sun and unbearable humidity that is Missouri in July.
These posts about Reddit’s continuing slide are like the news my elderly mother gives when yet another one of her friends dies: sad, but what you gonna do?
I'm happy(ish) with my current setup, but I'd really love eventually having the option to replace my Echo and Home devices' innards with something local and open-source.
Said it elsewhere, but I'm really impressed with both Lemdit and Voyager so far. Amazing work!
I found and appreciated the Lemdit settings for enabling endless scrolling and auto-load more. I think there was also a setting on (old?) Reddit to open a new tab when clicking on comments. Think we could maybe get that as well?
Those baggy knees lol.
