Another poster suggested a Russian disinformation campaign, I would suggest a more home-grown hate faction that was grown from the poll-watcher contingent. They culled and sifted lists of people that were most likely to "spoil the vote" and had nothing else to do do but harass people.

Non-alcoholic wines exist and would work just as well for deglazing but probably won't be as good on the flavor front. Most people would say that the alcohol evaporates out during cooking because it has a lower gas temp than water. Here is a study on that statement.

This is not the helpful answer you were looking for, sorry. I'm fairly certain that the consensus among data hoarders is that the answer is more storage space not smaller files.

I love playing with my HA and associated devices. I suspect that most of you reading this get a bit of a jolt every time you add and incorporate a new sensor, camera, integration and get to play with it.

I have all the door/window sensors and locks/covers, every angle of my exterior covered with cameras, alarm, network devices, appliances, sprinklers, household devices covered.

Any ideas for a new thing I can play with?

I have to use fragrance and dye free detergent or I am a total mess - hives, pimples, inflamed irritation spots and even fever. I am flat-out allergic to that shit!

WTF is actually up with these "civil warriors" who abstained? I live in TX and the general vibe is "if someone needs killin' I'm down to do the deed." Most people are generally willing to wade in to conflict if it happens upon them. How, TF, did these diaper-wearing sacks of tears manage to get their law enforcement credentials stamped?

If I ran away from my duties at work I would be fired immediately. They trained on their roles extensively - "how to neutralize an armed adversary, how to defuse an armed conflict situation, how to...for fuck's sake keep a child from being shot by an idiot." Every one of these cowards are still employed - whaat, the actual fuck, is up with that?!!

My beloved wife is preparing to wage war against colonel Kitchener. Stand back, 7 needles in play!

This is the most horrific thing I have seen in a long time and this the second time I have had to read about something like this. I work for a company that caused this to happen to another family in a different place using different fumigants but it brings me back to that time and I am weeping now.

I wept to my wife when I heard of my company's malfeasance in their failure to ensure that nobody was harmed in that other place. I have since witnessed a top to bottom realignment of priorities in my workplace to focus on safety...too little, too late - they did crime then that to meet profit margins and they still hold that most dear despite lip service to "safety first".

I'm so very sad that this happened again to another family and I hope that the perpetrators (most likely managers pushing production goals) pay a heavy price for their crime. (spoiler alert, at my company the bad guys were not properly punished and I am still salty about that).

The HR department at your company is the company's advocate they are not your advocate.

Streaming videos on my phone using speaker for audio while at the restaurant eating lunch. I figured for sure, everyone would want to get in on that awesome stand-up comedy action or zany talk show that I enjoy with my meal. It turns out that (gasp!) some people even think it's rude...LOL.

Devil's advocate here - as soon as you introduce monetization to the use of a service you have locked in it's potential as an income stream which will inevitably lead to the downside you are afraid of.

Fediverse services being distributed means no central host has to bear the entire weight. I could probably take on all of the server load that I use if I repurposed my PleX server:

This is not about money, it is about control.

Here's a hot take - they lose the appeal and the court draws their new districts according to law...sorry, your fascisism has been denied.
