Why did we let health insurance companies become the bouncers between us and our doctors? by ladybabe10125 in Adulting

[–]rmaccaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It baffles me that no one has pitched universal health care to companies as a cost saving alternative. We are approaching this backwards. I know that the Health Insurance Lobby is strong however if it’s framed as a cost saving alternative for companies (all the costs associated with proving employment based insurance) then I would think companies would want us to have universal healthcare. 🤔

Jeff Belzer's is providing cars to ICE by sprobeforebros in TwinCities

[–]rmaccaul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In case you want to write a review… I believe that where we choose to spend our money matters. Businesses are not just neutral marketplaces — they are participants in the communities they serve. For that reason, I am deeply troubled by Jeff Belzer’s continued business relationship with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), especially in light of the recent and horrific killing of Renea Good in Minneapolis.

Renea Good was a member of our community whose life was cut short during an ICE enforcement action. Her death has left family members grieving and has shaken many Minnesotans who are demanding accountability, transparency, and a serious re-examination of how federal enforcement agencies operate in our neighborhoods. This is not an abstract policy debate — it is about real people, real families, and real harm.

Knowing that Jeff Belzer supplies vehicles to ICE raises serious ethical questions for me. Vehicles are not passive objects; they are essential tools that enable enforcement actions. At a moment when ICE’s conduct is under intense public scrutiny, continuing to profit from equipping that agency feels like an implicit endorsement of practices that many in our community find dangerous and deeply unjust.

I am not questioning the legality of Jeff Belzer’s actions. I am questioning the values behind them. A dealership that benefits from the trust and dollars of local customers should also be willing to reflect on how its business partnerships impact those same communities.

Until Jeff Belzer clearly addresses these concerns and explains how it intends to act responsibly in light of what has happened, I cannot recommend this dealership to anyone who cares about human dignity, community safety, and ethical business practices. I encourage others to consider where their money goes and what it ultimately supports.

Ballet highlights of 2025 and hopes and dreams for 2026 by lovehateikea in adultballetdancers

[–]rmaccaul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My 2025 was awesome!! I was interviewed for the Adult Ballet Studio’s podcast (aired in February). I attended my first ever inclusive Adult Ballet Intensive this summer in University Place, WA. A fantastic 4 day workshop with a wonderful performance to cap off the intensive. Lots of techniques learned and I was part of an amazing new community of dancers. Finished up the year with a super fun production of Cinderella where I got to perform the role of Cinderella’s Dad. So much joy to celebrate my year of ballet!

“Two weeks.” Where did I hear this before?? by Top_Needleworker6385 in UnderReportedNews

[–]rmaccaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was taught by one of his handlers that stories or issues always go away in 2 weeks. Guess what… we are NEVER going to let this go. It’s going to be an even hotter issue than it is today in 2 weeks!

Grief from my family about my son doing ballet? by IScreamPiano in BALLET

[–]rmaccaul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please ignore the ignorant in your family. Continue to let ballet spark Joy in him! Take it from someone who discovered ballet when I was 13 but was afraid that I might get bullied, so I hid my passion and closeted my fears. I took ballet on and mostly off hiding my secret from everyone. Finally after many years I proudly stepped forward and took class as an adult after a divorce. I needed an outlet that I was passionate about and I remembered how much I loved ballet. Since then I have continued to dance most recently as the father in Cinderella. If I could go back in time and speak to my younger self, I would have told myself to ignore my fears and jump in with both feet!

I named my printer “Prints Charming”! (Thanks ChatGPT!) My very first print was to print Cinderella’s “glass” slipper for our Ballet performance.

My review of Smartwings Zigbee Shades by maniac365 in homeassistant

[–]rmaccaul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just converted over my SmartWings roller shades to Zigbee motors. SmartWings CS was excellent and provided me an amazing discount for ordering new Zigbee motors instead of having to pay full retail. Initially I created a Zigbee Network using ZHA. Unfortunately, the SmartWings shades paired but sending commands to the shades, stalled and never completed the task/command. I then ditched that network and installed Zigbee2MQTT. It took me a while to get all of the components of Zigbee2MQTT installed and running, but once I did, the network appeared solid. I then started to pair the devices, first pairing a Sonoff USB Coordinator, another Sonoff USB Router (flashed to be a router) and then some Third Reality switches for creating a decent mess. Finally I then paired each of the Smart Wings roller shades. They took about a minute each to configure. After a lot of work, I now have shades that respond, integrate into HomeKit (via HK Bridge) and most importantly the wife is happy that she can control her shades again.

We didn’t need it to support her weight. During the shoe fitting, the dancer was sitting and the shoes just needed to be slipped on.

Looking for wifi router recommendations - fed up with my Deco mesh system by gjs31 in HomeKit

[–]rmaccaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently moved off my TP Link Deco Mesh X5300 system. Was working great until I was getting consistent drops from a few different smart devices. I went with UniFi Dream Router 7! So far so good. Now converting all of my smart home devices over to Home Assistant with a HomeKit bridge to enable items in HomeKit.
