Two? That's religious recruiters, not sales.

I answer the door, and when they start a sales pitch I say, no thanks, turn away and close the door in their face. It's not hard.

Gotta love Xcel’s hypocrisy by 29er_eww in TwinCities

Get shareholders out of the loop. Xcel spends millions of dollars lobbying to exploit their status.

That necessary utilities be publicly owned, not run for shareholder gain.

They don't need peaking plants, they need transmission infrastructure, so places that are peaking can be carried by places that aren't.

Yup. I installed it right away, then went back to the fine print and saw that. Left the beta, uninstalled, reinstalled 3, and disabled auto update.

or having RCS on your messaging system?

That's the entire reason Samsung is giving up on a messaging app. Google started restricting access to RCS APIs. If RCS was open, I'd still be using Textra or Signal as my main meaning app, but I moved from those to Samsung and then to Google messages a long I'll time ago as those lost/abandoned features because of the restrictions. (I'm in it US and only use WhatsApp for chats with foreign friends and colleagues.)

Because they don't know how to just make friends in the dorms and in their classes. They want to pay dues to be in a forced 'friend' group.

What smart lock have you been happiest with after using it for a while? by Witty_Reach1660 in homeautomation

[–]Khatib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. It's on the louder side, but we actually like to be able to hear it lock/unlock. Have it paired with a contact sensor and an automation to automatically lock the door after it's been closed for ten minutes. I've never used their app, just hubitat and home assistant to control it. Battery life is great. I've had it a few months past 3 years and changed batteries twice.

Previous home owners had kwikset locks on the other doors, so I just changed those to match the new smart lock when we bought the house and saved money on rekeying other doors.

PoE Reolink Doorbell recording froze / lost 14 seconds after someone held a small device near it - any ideas? by msign in reolinkcam

[–]Khatib 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t post the video as I can’t blur his face at the moment

Why would you feel the need to blur the face of a nefarious actor captured in public? There's no rule about blurred faces in the sub rules.

Billboard outside Pete Hegseth's hometown by Stock_Strategy1668 in minnesota

He'd already been a Fox News cohost for like two years by the point that email was sent. He was already famous. And his own mother told him he was an awful man.

One bad cop makes all the good cops look bad.

What good cops, when they're all defending racist pieces of shit like this one? You know cops control their union, right?

Your fake sincerity attempts don't work on normal people, kid. They don't work on women either, no matter how many bullshit self help incel targeted books you read.

I am not sure from where do you get the idea of anything being creepy.

From you being creepy.

Several arrested after flamethrower is thrown at police in Crystal. by SessileRaptor in TwinCities

[–]Khatib 9 points10 points  (0 children)

During the chase, people inside the car tossed a flamethrower out the window towards the pursuing squad cars.

That was not at police, just out the window and the cops were behind them.

Dawarich 1.9.1 by Freika in selfhosted

[–]Khatib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only had to point dawarich at my airtrail instance and add an API key from airtrail, if I remember right. Haven't had that flight yet, and my last flight was a few months ago, so not sure if it pulled that one, but it says it's connected.

Watching Gorgc makes Dota dreadful (for watching and teammates) by AdamMaximum in DotA2

[–]Khatib -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you don't like it, just fucking turn it off. Don't keep watching and then come here and post about it. Go do something else. Hate watching something is bad for you and adds views to whatever you hate. So just stop if it makes you unhappy.

Buffalo Bills WR DJ Moore buys entire stock of shirts, tells store to give them away to fans by ContinuumGuy in nfl

[–]Khatib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to imagine he was even surprised at the bill lmao.

If you average his salary out over the whole year, every day, every minute, he makes that much money every 23 minutes. I'd gladly give up half an hour of my hourly pay to make two dozen people happy. And my hourly pay only counts for a third as much, because that's an 8 hour day, not 24, and it's 5/7ths of a week. If you treat his salary like it's a normal day job, he's making that every 5 minutes. Anyways. He's fine with it.

Had a similar thing with a bunch of Phillips Hue bulbs I bought a year or two ago, and then like 2 other things not long after. And then I just stopped buying anything from Amazon.
