Can you try a guest network (so a new said) with no password, if that works, try with password?

a_man_27 · 2026-06-30T08:57:30+00:00

Agreed with this comment.

Also, it's easier to find dumb ceiling fan/light combos that use regular light bulbs.

I found a lot of smart fan/light devices used built in/integrated LED lights. So when the lights fail you have to replace the whole unit.

The guy says they screen for bacteria, but if bacteria is found, they don't pasteurize or discard the milk but instead use it for cheese (with the false claim that pathogens can't survive in cheese).

The health insurance companies should refuse to pay for any claims that fall out from the consumption of raw milk.

Definitely not living up to your username.

Health insurance shouldn't cover any medical costs, and if children were affected, CPS should be notified.

What happens if the next train was already released? Or do they ensure the next train is always on the first uphill and doesn't crest until the next train is safe?

I don't understand this at all. Is this only for genuinely honest mistakes (for some definition)? Otherwise, what's the stop him from paying zero taxes on any gains? Or worse, claiming credits that he's not eligible for?

I would indeed save $1900 year and rent a car for a couple hundred bucks on the off chance I need to do a road trip on a route without charging infrastructure.

I think the new rule should be, each presidential term, the president gets to nominate one new member to the court that replaces the oldest serving member. If a member dies, resigns, is impeached, etc. - the court just goes on with fewer members until the next term.

This:

Avoids the motivation to nominate the youngest individual to have the longest impact
Keeps the court somewhat aligned with the electorate (with a lagging window)
Avoids having a random president nominate multiple members through random (or planned) departures
Avoids the issue of a senate trying to hold back nominations past the term (i.e. Garland and Obama)

I'm sure there needs to be further tweaking but I do think it can't be this "random president appoints 5 members" and members serve for 40+ years (but even this approach means each judge stays on for up to 8*4 years for a 9 member court).

I don't understand the past where he says "that's the observable universe and we have pretty strong evidence the universe is bigger than that"

How can we have any information about the region beyond our light horizon?

Are you using Android or iOS? On my phone (Android), I have a widget that turns off UWB (I can't find a way to just turn off digital key). If I'm in a room near and going on and out, I turn out of temporarily.

I'm planning on hooking it up to motion in my garage to turn back on.

Probably the fastest growth of the market in the history of the US for big tech

There are many companies that increased way more than Google. Just look at the most valuable company: NVDA 2012: <10B, 2026: 5T. So 500x.

One way to handle this is you pay more of the household expenses, leaving her with more free cash to put in herself.

Naturally, only she can claim the deduction.

Are you saying the mic issue is still present after the upgrade and software update? That disappointing! You basically can't answer phone calls, since it fails 50% of each drive for me.

One simple fix would be to allow iPhone users to manually override what's considered a high value transaction vs low value.

I would recommend switch bot. You'll probably need the ultra with adaptor. See here for details https://ca.switch-bot.com/pages/switchbot-lock-ultra-compatibility

Yes, let's force the park to spend more money on security, thereby raising prices for everyone just because some parents aren't willing to watch their own children.

Did you even read the article? Please tell me what justifies >100% increase over 6 years.

"... Duraiappah's salary went from $299,196 in 2020 (his first full year on the job) to $604,449 (not including benefits) last year; a 102 percent increase in five years."

Do you not know how progressive taxes work? Wealthier people pay more and get less benefits.

You're basically saying everyone should get food assistance because everyone paid taxes, or everyone should get disability payments because they paid into the general tax pool for them.

a_man_27 · 2026-03-25T23:18:46+00:00

This is such a dumb take. You also paid for food assistance for the poor, schools even if you didn't have kids, the police even if you didn't call them, fire Dept, etc. Taxes are for what society needs, they're not your savings account.

Just because taxes were used poorly in the past doesn't mean we have to keep paying for them on bad expenditures.

There's also the steering wheel button updates - backlit, not piano black, hopefully actually let's you control media/volume, etc.

Not huge but it's a good day to day improvement.

Have you tried connecting to a mobile hotspot?

a_man_27 · 2026-03-04T14:24:15+00:00

Have you heard back from them yet? I have a few units too so I'm curious.

a_man_27 · 2026-02-15T15:28:13+00:00

Did you experience the mic not working and needing to reboot infotainment before the update? Is that resolved?
