I find it interesting that the monster canonically speaks French.

I had one that did nothing in my town. I wrote to the state DOT and they fixed it for me. It’s been about 10 years since then and it still works.

It’s worse than that. If you read the Verge article they’re reporting on an article from another publication. It’s a story of a story of a story.

Schools across America are quietly admitting that screens in classrooms made students worse off and are reversing years of tech-first policies

Being able to write on them is about as useful as a white board, but I think being able to project video in a classroom is extremely useful. Also, the switch to lessons being mostly PowerPoint style presentations is great compared to just a lecture with a chalkboard. I grew up having them in classrooms since third grade, and it’s honestly hard to imagine a class that isn’t structured around them.

I did when I had a really shitty commute for about a year and a half. Crazy thing is it wasn’t even that bad compared to some of my coworkers there.

Home Assistant is open source and self-hosted and doesn’t require internet to operate. The z-wave devices connect directly to the device running Home Assistant. If you want Home Assistant to be private it absolutely can be.

The Hibachi Table
Reply in thread
The one in the US is based on teppanyaki. You sit at a table with a large metal griddle while someone cooks for you in a very performative way. Usually squirting sake in your mouth and shooting fire out of onions.

I've recently turned into a blocker.
I mainly block accounts that seem like they have an agenda. Usually new accounts they post a lot about one very controversial topic. Likewise, I block accounts that are concern trolling or arguing in bad faith. There are so many bots and bad faith actors on the internet I feel like you should be blocking them because they don’t deserve our attention.

Smart glasses and socializing
My first time seeing anything about the meta Rayban glasses was some guy sexually harassing my friend at work as a “prank video.” He used the glasses as a secret recording device then posted it on facebook.

PHEVs do indeed typically have the output of their engines connected to the wheels through the drive train. You’ve described a range extender. Vehicles with a range extender do not have the gas engine connected to the drive train directly.
