Lol, that was literally illegal. Although I don't know whether the NRLB has any bearing anymore.

But by making taking about salaries illegal. It was explicitly considered by the courts to be anti-labor practices. It was used to prevent employees from forming a union.

Have you seen the size of some California counties? San Bernardino county is larger than multiple states.

I love my Sony. Iirc, it wanted Internet for initial setup, but I unplugged the Ethernet cable soon after. It just works and displays what I want without issue.

My girlfriend brought a tcl roku special when she moved in. That blinked a very bright white LED unless it was connected to the internet. And now whenever I turn it on, it screams and displayed a fucked up picture from my media device until I go and use the "restart tv" option.

Fucking POS.

In the US, a portion of that fine goes back to the police departments. Giving them a financial incentive to give tickets.

If the fines went to anything except the people giving the fines, then it could work here. But we were so stupid to couple the two in the first place.

Too close to the election! Meanwhile lousiana is like... Fuck that, we're shutting down the election that's already having early voting because fuck you.

I mean... Privateers.

But he's too dumb to know about those.

Ubuntus package repo is so out of date though. It's such a pain in the ass.

That's a good point.

Imagine just a script that randomly replacing various homophones like their, they're and there.

Or has a percentage chance of swapping two letters because you types too fast.

Or just a table of common misspellings would be enough.

I've had my gfs accord emergency brake on me twice. One was coming to a hairpin turn on a mountain and an rv had pulled off onto a turn out for us to pass. And another was several car lengths away from a car making a turn into a drive way. Neither of which were even remotely close to an accident. It just freaked out.

And I've had tons of beeps for side streets with cars park along a gentle curve which the car doesn't understand the fucking road turns. I HATE all the tech.

I wonder how much could be done to send something backwards and forwards at say, 1 year intervals and measure the difference from where it's expected and where it ended up. Your wind up with some map of the calibration point over time.

Seems like calibration could be done with essentially unlimited time for the system to run.

As if sex workers haven't been historically used to gather compromising information and state secrets.

I know Paramore isn't really emo, but not too far from that demo. I was referencing their song.

It was a bad joke, I know.

 

Why are all robot vacuums the same? They all have these tall as fuck charging stands.

I don't want to dedicate several square feet of wall space for a fucking charger and dust bin. What i do have, though, is a fucking couch with tons of free space around it. Instead of building the dust bin to go above the fucking robot, why hasn't ANYONE released one that is wide so it can go under a fucking couch or bed?

The fucking dock could be U shaped and the bin you remove to empty it would slide out forward instead of lifting up.

 

Working in attics is horrible, but the payoff is so, so good.

 

How can I bring this forward so the junction box is accessible?

Do I just get enough single gang extension rings to bring it out far enough to sit flush with the drywall?

Or do I add an access panel on the drywall?
