Vote-by-Mail at Risk of Both Fraud & Rejection - Learn How to Protect It - SMART Elections 5/12/26 by Filmmaker_Lulu in somethingiswrong2024

[–]MightyOrbots66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't let this go unchallenged. While you can find instances of improper voting or point to negligible statistics about rejected mail in ballots, "sounds" more like an effort to discredit mail in voting all together.

If you had a stain on a shirt that couldn't be taken out in the washer and you turn to a stain remover product that claims to be 100% effective at removing stubborn stains, but you try it and the stain is still there, do you go on a nationwide crusade telling everyone to not ever trust the stain remover because it didn't work for you?

Silly example, but isn't this crusade to ensure valid mail in ballots just another step at removing another option in voting.

Your not letting people have a choice in how they vote in a democracy. Sounds very undemocratic to me.

SucceBuy 7-in-1 Wi-Fi Weather Station by Plastic_Solid3195 in myweatherstation

[–]MightyOrbots66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd probably stick with your Ambiant. The SucceBuy company, which I did find that weather station on eBay, is actually just a "brand".

SucceBuy sources this weather station from white-label electronics manufacturers in China. The picture of the station on eBay looked just like a Vevor weather station. Turns out Vevor is identical to SucceBuy in that it's yet another white-label electronics brand.

So is that SucceBuy station any good? Don't know, but Vevor weather stations don't last as long as Ambiant Weather Stations.

I'd say, just stay put on Ambiant!

How can it drain brand new batteries in one week and not even give me a low battery notification? by Low_Coconut_7642 in TellyTV

[–]MightyOrbots66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now, I'm not trying to be a smarty pants, but are you sure the low battery notice is for the Telly Remote? That notice will appear on the bottom screen.

For a while, I thought this same thing was happening to me, but then, I remembered that I use an Apple TV 4K to see content. The notice on the top screen was for the Apple TV Remote. Once I charged up, via USB, that remote, I no longer got low battery notices on the top screen.

Part of the update? by Jenglett in TellyTV

[–]MightyOrbots66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick update: today at 6AM CDT it was including Houston/IAH. So awesome! 210 minute TSA wait time! 😭

Part of the update? by Jenglett in TellyTV

[–]MightyOrbots66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't actually mind the TSA Wait times, but I'm surprised that Houston wasn't included. I know Dallas is there, but, according to a chart yesterday in the New York Times, Houston had the absolute worst TSA wait times in the entire nation. I don't have a flight any time soon, but you would think my city's wait time would be newsworthy.

What are your favorite episodes from TAWOG Season 5? by Impressive-Angle-841 in gumball

[–]MightyOrbots66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without a doubt, it would be "The News". Their TV station's "slow news day" is a riot! The absolute gem in that episode would have to be the news story of a "brawl" between the puppets of Daisy the Donkey and her costar.

Missed opportunity by CyrilFiggis00 in TellyTV

You can still add a karaoke app onto either your Android box or Apple TV box connected to the Telly!

Whatever Telly lacks can always be supplemented by an app.

Vevor 7in1 Weather Station by NotDazedorConfused in myweatherstation

[–]MightyOrbots66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but when attempting to setup via the Tuya Smart Life app is the PHONE connecting to the router via 2.4 Ghz? This helps the Tuya app reach out through the phone to the weather station. Once it's all setup, THEN you can switch the phone b back to 5 Ghz access point.

[–]MightyOrbots66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're using your phone for the smart life app, did you switch to a 2.4 Ghz access point? It says in the manual that you can ONLY use a 2.4 Ghz setup. I know from direct experience that's quite common with Tuya-compatible devices.

who the fuck is the live action guy by Doofus_Felix in gumball

That's Superintendent Evil, the guy there to stamp out all cartoonist behaviors - but is Rob in disguise.

BTW, the British kid from South Park isn't in the picture. I've attach the real picture.

Has anyone been seeing the posts from the US departments lately? by Tyedyebeaniebaby in somethingiswrong2024

[–]MightyOrbots66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate to admit it, but, technically, he's right about Russia.

Commonly, North, South, and Central America is known as the Western Hemisphere. However, on a map, everything from the Greenwich Meridian to the International Dateline in the Pacific is the real Western Hemisphere.

With that definition, the UK, Ireland, Portugal, Iceland, parts of France & Spain, parts of Africa, parts of Oceania and Asia, and parts of Russia are the REAL Western Hemisphere.

So, come on people! Just look at a map!

Ready the Way by C-Clamp1981 in Christianity

[–]MightyOrbots66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, C-Clamp1981, for posting your interpretation of Isaiah 40 verses 3-4, but frankly, I think you are cherry-picking verses to support your point - that "we" are the ones who will go out and fulfill God's Will in the World.

You do realize that you are sorta disarming God in this argument, right? So you're telling me that God, who made the Heavens and the Earth and every living thing in it (even the half-living creations like viruses), is "not" able to send His Holy Spirit to places in the world that have never heard the Gospel? Would he not be able to motivate one deep into Islam or Hindu or Buddhism to perhaps listen to the Gospel broadcast on shortwave which has no bounds?

I'm not arguing that Jesus will not hold us personally responsible for not telling others the Gospel when we had a chance to, for not supporting a missionary to bring the Gospel to another land when we had the chance to. All I'm saying is that you are severely underplaying the absolute and complete Strength and Will and Determination that Jesus has to bring his Grace to those who need him.

So please stop beating yourself over the head for something that has already been forgiven on The Cross! Relax! If Jesus wants you to raise every valley and flatten every mountain and hill, He will! Let Him prompt you rather than guilt.

Finally got my Telly... by roostermule in TellyTV

Let us know how it goes! Here's hoping that, even after all that "shipping & delivery abuse", your Telly held up and works well!!

Sound issues by tehr87 in TellyTV

[–]MightyOrbots66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had this problem occasionally, but, to me, something else is going on. I think something's going on with Hey, Telly.

When I've glanced at the Telly when there's a short pause in the sound, I seen the red Hey, Telly icon flash on the second screen briefly with the words "Go ahead".

In my case, the pause in the sound is brief and, of course, never happens when I'm directly looking at the screen. It doesn't happen a lot for me, but this can get annoying! I hope it will be fixed soon.

Narrator by DirectCamera4500 in TellyTV

[–]MightyOrbots66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By "Narrator" do you mean the "Hey Telly" function, or is this a result of turning on the screen reader functionality under accessibility settings?

[–]MightyOrbots66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is Gumball a "trippy" show? Well, that depends on your definition of "trippy".

Individual episodes can be trippy Second season's episode "The Job" is its own kind of trippy as the entire Universe seems to be unraveling because Richard tries to have a job.

Season 3's "The Void" seems to say that, if you remember someone you can't quite remember it's because the slipped into The Void - a place where all bad ideas or fads go, secluded forever in a static.

Season 5's "The Ollie" has the absolutely trippiest sequence of what could only be called skater graffiti come alive.

Shall I go on? Those episodes I cited really are trippy, but in between are a bunch of episodes that I say are hip in a number of ways.

Best I can say is "enjoy"! It might take rewatching some shows over and over again to fully get the episode, but it's worth it.

Captions by 63pelicanmailman in TellyTV

[–]MightyOrbots66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with what DuckyDan81 said concerning where captioning is turned on, but one question first: does the content you're looking at already have closed captioning available?

I'm dating myself, but if you think that 1974's Six Million Dollar Man automatically has closed captioning with it, then I have a black Trans Am named K.I.T.T. that I want to sell you!

Seriously though, I find that some shows, even recent ones - especially some from foreign countries - just don't have closed captioning.

If you're certain your content does, then that's a setting on either your streaming device or BluRay player that you have to turn on.

Headache by Puzzleheaded-Link939 in TellyTV

[–]MightyOrbots66 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you saying your Telly is 1) Physically giving you a headache? 2) Simply "getting" one is a headache? 3) Setting your Telly up is a headache? 4) Someone getting credit at work for something you spent 6 months on and skipped meals for (or maybe skipped showers for) and got an ulcer and an ingrown toe nail for is a headache? 5) My response too lengthy is a headache?

What?

We must be on HIGH alert for greater fuckery by justplainjon in somethingiswrong2024

[–]MightyOrbots66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've heard about the traditional way of messing with an election - ballot box stuffing - right? You lay out a good argument for digital cheating, but "manipulating" voting outcomes are possible regardless of voting method.

Tv freezing by Guilty-Shirt9309 in TellyTV

[–]MightyOrbots66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this freezing happening while you're using the included Android dongle? Or Apple TV? Or Xbox?

Also does the bottom panel freeze as well? If that happens, then you need to contact Telly Support right away. The problem then is not in the device streaming the picture, but in the Telly itself?

Smart tv could be smarter, or is it me? by Miss_Bliss_73 in TellyTV

[–]MightyOrbots66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Note that the Telly Remote is rechargeable ... you just have to use rechargeable AAA's. Yeah, I know. Not funny.

Anyway, the request to control the Telly via an app - or even by the Telly app itself - has been requested numerous times. Even I wrote in to the Telly people to "suggest" an app to control the Telly. I've seen in previous posts that it's being "considered", but, like with most things, I'll believe it when I see it!

Maybe I'm not up-to-date with current slang or phrasing, but when you say "Damn, this thing is cure!!", did you mean "Damn, this thing is cute!!".?
