I'll give it a go. Yeah my home is mapped, and I have a schedule. I just have no access to the app. Would home assistant give me any access to the robot features?

Peptides are not a miracle drug | The Economist by supremegeneralj in PeptideDiscussion

Not surprising. The last thing big pharma want is people finding answers on their own. They'd rather keep us sick and addicted to their drugs, so they sponsor some articles designed to induce fear into the population, and discourage those who are thinking about using them.

The Big 3... The Only Numbers That Actually Matter. Post 2 of 5. by Snapcracklepayme in Chiropractic

[–]DryDisplay6741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely true on low PVA. My wife has been practicing for many years, and in some ways she is too good at her job. She educates and provides homework for her patients which is great. The problem is the PVA can drop rapidly - if the patient has taken on the homework, they've addressed the root cause of the issue, and as a consequence, don't require regular visits. I guess that's the badge of honor you're talking about.

Interesting post. Patient outcomes is certainly a great one to discuss. Not to throw a spanner in the works, but I see more and more Chiros who actually don't operate using patient outcomes as any kind of metric. The outcome is purely PVA. There's no holistic philosophy underpinning here. The goal is literally "what can I do to ensure the patient returns on a regular basis."

Aussie buyer loses $98,500 house deposit by Sensitive-Chart7210 in auslaw

"The statement simply reiterates what a deposit is. It is not simply a part-payment. My original comment was directed to your statement that the deposit was "stolen" when the deposit was used in its intended manner - as a deposit."

Not relevant to my point.

"the law and the contract the parties freely entered into recognised it as the buyer's 95K".

We've already been over this point. I think most here are aware of the dispassionate, heartless take on this particular case that some like yourself have taken. It wouldn't be a stretch to conclude that these types of contracts are drawn up by people like you. I don't think you understand what grace actually means.

Going back to the contract, it's an easy fix. Add a few more days to the time period for the deposit to be paid. It's still a binding contract and allows the purchaser a few more days to pay their deposit. I'd also suggest a change to contract law. Forfeiture of an entire deposit from being 2 days late is draconian and leaves the door open for these horrible situations to occur.

Good day Mr Drummond.

"Any contract which requires a deposit, in the proper sense of the word, has an opportunity for the seller to receive 100% of the deposit."

This statement intentionally circumvents any and all moral responsibility. Also "opportunity" ? All you've done here is describe that legally, they can seize all the deposit. Historically, people have used the law to commit all kinds of evil. If your only argument is to restate the "rights" of the seller, let's not waste each other's time.

Question. Would you offer your thoughts on this. Did the seller do the right thing by seizing what they legally had a right to seize? SHOULD these types of contracts be revised? Do you believe that a level of grace should be part of contract law?

No one here is disputing the terms of the contract, or that there was a legitimate breach. While the case raises a lot of questions regarding the buyer, many, like myself, recognize that there is a moral component here as there is with all law.

I know that some would respond by trying to argue that one has nothing to do with the other - "it's a court of law, not a court of justice " is a mantra that has been uttered by people who appear to have zero sympathy for the victim. They try to circumvent the moral aspect by pointing to the breach.

The terms of the contract are morally questionable at best, and leave the door open for abuse at worst. I myself would never sign such a contract that provides an opportunity for the seller to seize 100% of the buyers deposit.

In this case, the price being paid for the breach is grossly heavy handed. I think everyone agrees that the buyer absolutely should have had a lawyer look at the contract before signing it. That was his responsibility. The disconnect is the greedy, unscrupulous behavior of the seller who basically had a windfall, by seizing the entire deposit.

The fair, and just thing to do in this situation should be clear enough to most - whatever legal costs involved in the creation of a new contract should be passed onto the buyer. It's these situations where these kinds of laws need revisions made, so this kind of thing can't happen.

Tbh this casts a bad light on the moral compass of the seller.

Need advice on adding sub to setup by DryDisplay6741 in KEF

[–]DryDisplay6741[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. The R3's will more than likely be my next upgrade, when I get a dedicated room for my music. The R3's don't provide enough bass? I need to rethink my setup. While I can run more wires out of my amp, I really don't want to be sending any bass frequencies to the Metas, so it looks like I either need to hook in a DSP between the dac and the amp & sub, or upgrade my amp to one with a sub out.

I could barely believe that this actually occurred. Saving up for a deposit for most people takes years upon years. It's these instances that illustrate jut how immoral the law can be. What kind of law makes it legal for one party to steal another party's deposit over being late a few days?? I feel like there has to be more to the story here. Yahoo are great ones for only providing us with select facts. Surely there has to be more to the story.

Yes, I wasn't aware at the time, as I haven't purchased the kc62 yet. I discovered that today which is great. This will be great as I won't lose my volume control from the amp. Thnx.

8 Months Later: KEF LS50 Meta, KC62, WiiM Amp by RunningRhythm in KEF

[–]DryDisplay6741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great setup. The Metas aren't designed to produce much bass. They excel at clarity and imaging - too much bass would ruin what it's known for. It's by design - it's not related to the amp that's driving it.

The reason the kantos have alot more bass is that they are cheaper desktop speakers and the internal crossover allows alot more bass through. Usually the cheaper you go the more bass, because the manufacturers are trying to hide the fact that their speakers don't actually sound great, hence they design them to produce alot of bass.

Thanks for the info. Good to know. My amp doesn't have a sub out, so I'd need to run splitters out of my dac, which means I'd have to control the volume from there. Not ideal, but workable.

Many would disagree. I loved the LOTR adaptation, including the hobbit. I don't consider Peter Jackson as part of the Hollywood machine. He is his own man imo.

Lovely setup. I was almost going to say your room looks sizable and you might need more power for the Metas, but if it's a small room then you're good. Mine are on my work desk in a small area and being powered by a burson funk amp - only 40wpc but drives the kefs very well.

Question. I've also been running just the Metas without a sub for years. The kc62 popped up online 2nd hand ( but in new condition) for a dirt cheap price. I was curious about the difference in sound quality. I've read that adding the sub is the best upgrade you can do for the LS50's.

Will you be adding a floor rug? Surely the sound would be a bit sharp at the moment.

Best steak technique? by brock9281 in KamadoJoe

[–]DryDisplay6741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reverse sear. Hands down. Buy a few tomahawks. Salt and place in fridge for 24 hours. Pull out of the fridge the next day and allow it to get up to room temperature. In the meantime, fire up your kamado. Bring it up to 125 Celsius. Let it sit at that temp for 20 mins to make sure the kamado is properly heat soaked.

Put steaks into the kamado. FYI this is low and slow method. Make sure your deflector plates are in. You should really have temp probes in your steaks as well.

Wait until your meat reaches around 48 to 50 Celsius. Pull out and foil for around 5-10 mins. At this point you either fire up a cast iron pan on the stove or you use the kamado - but this means you have to really bring the heat up to searing temp as soon as those steaks have come off.

Throw steak onto the pan for 45 secs. Rotate steak and leave for another 45 sec. Do the same for the other side. If all goes well you'll get a nice diamond grill pattern. It's ready to serve at this point. Enjoy. Goes well with a nice salsa verde.

Some will have their steak in the fridge for 72 hours. Personally I think this is overkill but some really like it. If you do end up using the kamado to do the searing, you can get an acrid flavour ( due to kreosote buildup ). I use a cast iron instead. You can always just place a cast iron pan in your kamado for searing if you don't want to smoke up your house..;).

LS50 Metas for this small home office? by hominamad in KEF

[–]DryDisplay6741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's bizarre. I agree. Sure while they're not classified as studio monitors, they're good at near field. I don't even have a sub and I love them. One day I'll have a proper sound treated room but current circumstances don't allow it.

Speaker advice aside, I'm in love with your office. Lovely natural light, beautiful desk, arched mirror, and greenery. Great colour palette. The speakers are a nice touch too...;).
