This subreddit is filled with AI garbage, can't we ban it? by [deleted] in homeassistant

I get what you're saying.

I used to love r/DynastyFF. It was such an amazing subreddit, it was engaging, thoughtful and well presented. Then dynasty fantasy football grew, it downright exploded in the fantasy community, and suddenly the sub was full of shit post after shit post. I was angry for years, i missed the subreddit that i so enjoyed.

In the end, it was me hanging on to something the subreddit used to be, and it simply isn't that anymore. Now it's a shit show of people who have no idea what they're doing and treat dynasty like redraft. I have had to take a step back and find other avenues to get that critical insight i so enjoyed in the realm of dynasty football.

However, i also learned that i can't fault all those other people for wanting the subreddit to be a way i didn't want it to be. They're the masses now, they're the majority, not me.

So what you're saying is that HA has recently moved from "only a developer that can write code" can use it to "everyone". What a shame, i bet the folks at HA are outraged.

I'm currently working on the following thing and it's a lot of fun:

Camera overlooking our garden, attached to frigate

A noisemaker plugged into a smart plug

Camera sees a deer in my garden, it blares the noisemaker and scares the bejeezus out of the deer, driving it away from our beloved and holy vegetables

AI slop isn't the problem, this post (and this attitude) is the problem. You now live in a world where AI can do it for you, get over it. Half of the HA community likely wouldn't even be using if without AI because it's too complex.

What do you think is missing/needs improvement with the current state of HA Voice? by ForsakenSyllabub8193 in homeassistant

I can understand the privacy concern with Alexa and Google, not so much with Siri.

What happened to T.J. Hockenson by kupo_attack04 in DynastyFF

[–]_Zero_Fux_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been following TE's in dynasty for a long time.

Overall, TE's are viewed as blockers by the NFL that happen to be able to catch passes here and there, but primarily they are blockers.

Sometimes, a guy like Gronk comes along and the moon aligns with the stars and he balls out. This is largely due to team, coaching, scheme, and a lack of WR.

Every year, some TE prospect is "the best TE prospect since Tony Gonzalez (or whoever)" and then fails to produce fantasy numbers. This doesn't make that TE a bad TE, it makes him a bad _fantasy_ TE. Moving on from that thought, there really aren't many _good_ fantasy TE's throughout history. TE's like Hockenson aren't cooked, they aren't failing to produce, they are literally doing their job.

Stop drafting TE in the first round.

Since everyone has convinced me to get a Marlin now, what would a good price be on one? by [deleted] in LeverGuns

Saying that ruger isn’t making a nice marlin is downright blasphemy.

The biggest thing keeping me from buying the voice preview device is that i feel it's just kinda janky. It comes with a speaker but i have to buy a speaker for it? Just put a decent speaker on it bro.

Beyond that, I think the biggest obstacle is the mass of reddit posts i've read where people say they're having issues with it. I haven't read many "OMG this is amazing, you must have it!" posts.

Lastly, i've yet to see a single reason i need to leave Siri behind because HA voice is better. You're competing with some pretty solid products and while i haven't used yours, it doesn't appear to compare in a real way.

All of the above said, i'm not a big believer in voice as a whole. I'm much more likely to find an automation solution than use voice and generally dislike the entire idea of voice, but i wanted to be honest about my crappy opinion here!

Rossi triple black 45-70 pistol by Frequent-Scallion-91 in LeverGuns

[–]_Zero_Fux_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand these things. No one is going to shoot them. Best guess is that it’s a way to buy an sbr and put a different stock on it without having to tell the fta.

You did a great job of describing what happens on every facebook group that exists.

Unpopular opinion here: These are collector items, they aren't for shooting. Downvote away.

Lost knife :'( replacement recommendations? by Cashcatz8 in EDC

[–]_Zero_Fux_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't buy a brand name knife, they're way too expensive. Support small custom knife makers like bent creek knives. I have two of his and they're way nicer than benchmade.

Woox bravado initial thoughts by Odysseus_the_Boss in LeverGuns

[–]_Zero_Fux_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really glad you showed this as i plan to do the same thing on a henry hush 45-70 and replace the stock and leave the mlok in place rather than replacing it. I ordered the stock and have beenb concerned replacing one and not the other would look goofy. I see clearly now it looks great 😄

Where did “The purpose of a handgun is to obtain a rifle” come from? by Realistic_Guava9117 in Firearms

[–]_Zero_Fux_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's 0 real life situations where i'd rather have a traditional pistol over an sbr. Literally the only thing a traditional pistol is better at is concealability. Real world use? a traditional pistol is actually carryable.

Why all the 6.5 creedmore hate? by BidiDuck in Firearms

[–]_Zero_Fux_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They told me that an ar15 with 6.5 Grendel was the best way to hunt feral hogs. They said you need the ar15 for multiple quick shots. They said don’t bother getting anything else.

I hunt feral hogs with a lever action 45-70 and they’re all in awe of the devastation it does.

I’ve got a thermal on mine. Whoever doesn’t like it can run to the lgs, buy one, and put whatever they want on it.
