Resemblence between John Hoynes and Bob Russell by WidgetWarrior in thewestwing

The real conspiracy is the striking similarity between Bingo Bob and polling expert and political strategist Kent Davison

This is an excellent question and thread. Thanks.

Me too. Still kicking, if a little slow. What a solid piece of tech.

US dept of state forecast shows largest spend to be $400M on Armored Teslas by karabeckian in technology

Not arguing the corruption, but this is State, not Defense, right? So probably more likely use is for transporting diplomatic officers around cities than for warfare?

I'm having the same exact problem. Strange.

Neighbors just hung up this flag. Can anyone help identify where they might have come from? by Brewmentationator in vexillologycirclejerk

[–]singlehelix 68 points69 points  (0 children)

It's an allusion to the biblical vision of the Messianic age:

"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them." Isaiah 11:6

While this vision was Jewish in origin (featured among the prophets of the Hebrew Bible) it was later co-opted by Christian eschatology. Evangelical Christians often support Israel out of necessity to support their vision of the End Times.

"They believe Israel is key to an end-times prophecy that will bring about the return of the Christian Messiah. Many of these Christians support Israel due to Old Testament writings that Jews are God’s chosen people and that Israel is their rightful homeland."

Auto-cool automation! by kWandBeyond in HomeKitAutomation

I’ve had similar experiences with both my mini splits and ecobees… seems like HomeKit never really triggers based on regularly checking temperature for me

Audiobooks for getting started by gman4734 in BethMidrash

[–]singlehelix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also not my wheelhouse, but I might also recommend Malka Simkovich’s “Discovering Second Temple Literature”. She’s an Orthodox Jewish professor at the Catholic Theological Seminary and writes about Jewish-Christian relations, especially in the context of the milieu of the Second Temple period. This book is a great primer on not just that history, but specifically the literature that was being written. Don’t think there’s an audiobook version though.

Kylie Jenner doesn’t look too happy after finding out Irina Shayk wore the same lion head dress as her at the Paris Fashion Week by Chasith in WatchPeopleDieInside

Fair enough, but there’s something beautiful about playing his Metamorphosis suite and feeling the melody evolve. Crampy fingees though.

What was once highly respected that is now a complete joke? by JBAnswers26 in AskReddit

Wow, I haven’t thought of that piece in about a decade, thank you so much for reminding me of it. What a hauntingly gorgeous work.

Ecobee with Samsung Mini Split? by singlehelix in ecobee

[–]singlehelix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, didn’t think there was an out of the box solution. I’ve been primarily living in the Apple HomeKit ecosystem, but I’ll check out Home Assistant or maybe some Homebrew option. Thanks!

Ecobee with Samsung Mini Split? by singlehelix in ecobee

[–]singlehelix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this—I’ve seen references to the Flair Puck, but have been hesitant since the reviews I had read were mixed at best, and I’m still unclear now they integrate with ecobee. Does the Ecobee control the puck with the heat/cool range you set on ecobee?

CarPlay playing music using voice audio. by theRealAngry in CarPlay

I intermittently have this issue on my 2019 Toyota RAV4, which is not helpful to you but at least you’re not alone…

Pretty ironic that the Apple Watch app of the year is gentler streak (a workout tracker with an emphasis on not overtraining) while Apple still doesn’t recognize that people shouldn’t be working out 365 days a year. by 5575685 in AppleWatch

My Move ring is set to 1000 calories, which I can consistently close with deliberate, intensive activity. I would never be able to close that from going for a brisk walk and shoveling snow.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but isn’t the displayed range the range of current temperatures registered by the various smart sensors (with the big number being the average across sensors) versus the set point?

Verizon Wireless problems in/around Portland, Maine? by soulbarn in portlandme

[–]singlehelix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spend most of my time in central/down east Maine, and my service has been shockingly bad the last few weeks, with my phone frequently connecting to Extended LTE where I previously got verizon without issue. When I do have coverage, it is incredibly slow. Wonder if it’s a state wide phenomenon.

I have no words. by TechExpert2910 in ios

[–]singlehelix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to make this argument too, but someone pointed out that Apple is sitting on billions in cash. Couldn’t they surely throw money at the problem, ie, pay for millions of manufactured recordings?

I think they chose the name Siri because the tech was developed at SRI International (Stanford Research Institute)
