We agree that he failed to achieve much that he (ideally) should have. It’s easy to sit at our computers and type out a bunch of ambitions for Biden, but never having been president myself, I’m not really in a position to dish out hard-nosed criticisms of the man. Everyone is forced to work within certain frameworks that are usually invisible or poorly communicated to the world at large. Every democrat is forced to pick up and duct tape the pieces of rubble blown up by the previous republican president. All I said was that he did do many good things, and I stand by that.

To be fair he’s done a lot of great things. Definitely dropped the ball on a bunch of stuff, but it’s not fair to say he’s just been drooling all this time.

I worked for a small “mom and pop” style roofing company for a few years while going to school, and when the owner decided to retire he just gave me the pickup I’d used. That was 10 years ago or so. Still got it, and still love it. It’s a 2000 Mazda B3000 with extended cab and a toolbox. The paint is peeled and the windows/locks/everything are manual but it starts, runs, hauls like a champ. I’ve got a little piece of land and it’s the VIP around here. Boy I tell you whut.

JJ Stitt — who described himself as a 27-year law enforcement veteran, as a county deputy, a member of a task force investigating internet crimes against children and a distant cousin of Gov. Kevin Stitt

Nepotism, internet crimes, police audits.. What a story! I wish someone in this town would chime in, but in a town of 1000 people it seems unlikely

I don’t trust the liberal science agenda so I did my own research. Using some back-of-the-napkin math and my telescope, I’m now blind from looking at the sun through a telescope. This is being transcribed by my trad wife. My results:

2 > 1

This one checks out, folks.

He also said he wouldn’t run again if he lost to Biden 4 years ago. Why does anyone believe a single word that comes out of his shithole of a mouth?

Boob just because it shows how boobs look from the three main perspectives: top, straight on, and profile.

Similar structure, yes, but this is the important part:

Swiss foundations and their board of trustees are legally obligated to act in accordance with the purpose for which they were established

So, just like the Louvre museum in Paris and the Luxor casino in Las Vegas have similar structures, pointing this out doesn’t really contribute much to the discussion.

For all I know, OpenAI’s purpose is to create Skynet and kill all humans. But Proton’s is:

Our legally binding purpose is to further the advancement of privacy, freedom, and democracy around the world.

Hello, and thank you in advance.

I'm making a privacy friendly "ring" cam/doorbell following this guide: https://tristam.ie/2023/758/ which has been great, but requires running a micro-usb cable down to the doorbell for power. I'm hoping to improve on this by using the existing doorbell power instead.

The problem is that I'm a DIY electronics noob and I can't create a mental model for how it should all work. The picture I attached is my existing doorbell wiring scheme, which is as simple as it comes. I totally get how this works. Pressing the doorbell completes the circuit and makes the bingbongs. But this will have to change so the new door cam gets power full time. Ideally without the chime bingbonging full time.

In addition to the ESP-32CAM, button, ring lights, etc., I also bought these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079FJSYGY which I thought might be needed to complete the circuit?

I measured the voltage after the transformer and it was around 18 volts, but maybe this is AC and I want DC?

Generally I don't know where in "the loop" to put things. Also, all the existing components are very far apart from each other, so I would love a solution that doesn't involve running any new wires through the walls.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!!

Nothing’s wrong with dildos, but it has to be pretty embarrassing to show the world that you read books

Holy balls, it costs almost as much as Netflix ($204/year) and all it does is spy on you?! I’m not an evil man but these idiots ask for this service. I wish I’d thought of it.
