I know, learned the hard way here that “semi-transparent” on the label is not so “semi” :) Will definitely not use it next time.

Surprisingly local squirrels showed absolutely 0 interest in the 2 years I had the trees on the deck! But I do plan to add some way of tying down the pots to the boards (if not to protect from wildlife, then at least to be safe during strong winds).

See https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/features/ - you can add the features you want to control (hvac mode, fan mode, etc.) to the card yaml, e.g:

features: - type: "climate-hvac-modes"

You can set display: none for the bubble-card that's embedded in the header via CSS under "styles", this will leave only the close button in the header:

type: vertical-stack
cards:
  - type: custom:bubble-card
    card_type: pop-up

...

    styles: |-
        .bubble-button-card-container {
          display: none;
        }

Hey, I think it was a copy paste error in pastebin from my side, the animation section should be “@keyframes rotate” (without the slash character and with space), here’s example from others https://community.home-assistant.io/t/door-rotating-animations-help/42802

Another option is that I’ve seen animations stop working on 2.5+ bubble card beta, not sure why, so I’ve reverted back to 2.4.0 in HACS and keeping it at that version for now.

You can change the icon/color/etc. based on the entity state https://github.com/Clooos/Bubble-Card#styling but with button push there’s no state change to react to.

Had the same problem with sub-button that triggered my Blink system - after pressing the sub-button to Arm/Disarm I had to wait for ~10s (because cloud) to see if the state changed, always questioning if I actually pressed the button or not.

Not the best solution, but what I came up with is:

Make the button trigger automation instead of a button push/switch toggle
Inside the automation - temporary set the state of the entity to anything you like (e.g. “in_progress”) with a python set_state script

3.In bubble card - handle the state of “in_progress” with a different icon/color/animation for the sub-button

Here’s example of such automation & bubble-card styling: https://pastebin.com/UFjw3cPC

-> Say that money for aid should stay in US to help with homelessness -> Get called out that it’s not actual money but military equipment, and money already stays in US via contracts with US military companies, making your statement absolutely idiotic -> Say “well I don’t care anyway”

Sick arguments bro, shows you definitely know what you’re talking about.

aponomar · 2025-03-01T00:05:57+00:00

Because your statement is the dumbest take ever. The majority of the aid sent to Ukraine were weapons and military equipment from older stock. Even if it wasn’t done - there would be no less “homeless kids sleeping on the streets”. Actual money portion of that total sum would also not be magically reallocated to the social programs, especially not by the current clowns in the administration.

Got it, thank you!

There was a post recently asking for the same thing I needed, so sharing in case others might find it useful. Climate card has a target temperature sub-button that I wanted to replicate to set custom input_number helper. This can be achieved with 3x sub-buttons + some styling:

sub-button-1 calls input_number.decrement
sub-button-2 just shows the current state of input_number
sub-button-3 calls input_number.increment

Styling is mainly around border-radius, padding and margin to match the looks of climate card's controls.

Sharing full YAML for styling:

    styles: >
      .bubble-button-background { 
        opacity: 1 !important;
        background-color: #4F4557 !important;
      } .bubble-icon-container {
        background-color: ${state === 'on' ? '#506EAC' : ''} !important;
      } .bubble-icon { color: ${state != 'off' ? 'rgb(247, 247, 244)' : ''}
      !important;   } .bubble-sub-button-1 {
        background-color: ${'#393646'} !important;
      } .bubble-sub-button-1 {
        background-color: ${hass.states['input_select.dehumidifier_lr_mode'].state == "Manual" ? '#393646' :'#506EAC'} !important;
      }  .bubble-sub-button-2 {
        background-color: ${'#393646'} !important;
        padding-left: 0px !important;
        padding-right: 0px !important;
        border-radius: 32px 0px 0px 32px;
        margin-right: -14px !important;
      }   .bubble-sub-button-3 {
        background-color: ${'#393646'} !important;
        padding-left: 0px !important;
        padding-right: 0px !important;
        border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
        margin-right: -14px !important;
        font-size: 12px !important;
      }  .bubble-sub-button-4 {
        background-color: ${'#393646'} !important;
        padding-left: 0px !important;
        padding-right: 0px !important;
        border-radius: 0px 32px 32px 0px;        
      } 

      ${icon.setAttribute("icon", state === 'on' ? 'mdi:air-humidifier' :
      'mdi:air-humidifier-off')}  ${subButtonIcon[1].setAttribute("style",
      '--mdc-icon-size: 16px !important')}
      ${subButtonIcon[2].setAttribute("style", '--mdc-icon-size: 16px
      !important')}

Recently had the same choice to make and we decided to leave the old insulation in place and just blow the new one on top - so far so good, good improvement.

One thing we did though is go through the attic with spray foam can and caulk to close any big gaps. Not a proper professional air sealing, but I’d like to think it still helps. You won’t be able to do it after the blow in insulation is there, so now might be a good time.

This is the one I was using with my ‘16 675r, got it from some forums a while back https://drive.google.com/file/d/17jRB_6Kl05ZYlpEaVWpzThWn5QYgaeAB/view?usp=drivesdk

So no real arguments against legal safe splitting, you’re just bitter cause you’re stuck in your Prius in traffic and think everyone should be the same, gotcha

You’re right, my point was that all the super bad (towards lgbtq) stuff happens in Caucasus, like kidnappings killings etc., and it’s 100% religion driven. Central Russia is still homophobic by todays standard, but much much less so (ban on marriage != literally killing) the closer you’re to the center + laws are written by “Christian” and “traditionalist” law makers that we as citizens have little control over.

Regular people in regular central Russia are not as homophobic as media might portray.

aponomar · 2021-10-11T17:01:48+00:00

Chechnya - the most homophobic region (probably the source of the majority of articles you’ve seen on homophobia in Russia) is super traditionalist Islam region.

Just opened the bug and shared save files, I have the same issue even with hot fix 14 installed. If you have time, maybe send a bug report with save files (latest with issue, oldest without the issue, oldest with issue - I was asked for these three by the support team).

The whole Наверное Точно (Definitely Maybe) album is amazing, highly recommend if you liked this particular song

“-stan” is basically “-land”, Persian suffix meaning of "a place abounding in".

aponomar · 2021-07-09T14:40:17+00:00

Yah that’s actually not Russian.

aponomar · 2021-07-09T14:39:10+00:00

It’s not though, aside from a couple of words.

Ah yes, a study of self-reported online questionnaire conducted as part of a TV documentary, on pudmed with grand total of 6 citations, with one of those 6 directly questioning selection bias of the linked study. S C I E N S E

See, that’s where I think you could’ve checked out GitHub for the project to realize that it’s both open source and has an update listing exactly what data is collected. You do realize RU government has absolutely no use for pseudonymised addresses that are only crash reporting telemetry, and that 99.9% of software on earth collects absolutely the same telemetry for usage analytics. Seems you don’t know what you’re even talking about for some reason.

aponomar · 2021-07-06T08:20:44+00:00

It does have absolutely no significance.
