"Even the most hardcore republican can see that he is a con artist."

Come now, that's giving them way too much credit.

Yes of course and I'm posting on that article to question the claims it's making. OP stated that the implication was not that the family was targeted but if you read the article it very clearly is. I want to know if there are any supporting facts because it seems unlikely to me.

You said "most people here read it as fact that Israel tarteted his family" I'm saying well yeah the article stated it as fact that they targeted his family I just want to know if that is likely or not because to me it seems far fetched.

The article very clearly accused Israel of targeting his family.

Did you even open the article? Just read the first paragraph.

Today, Al-Jazeera Bureau Chief Wael El-Dahdouh was reporting live in Gaza when an Israeli airstrike killed his wife and two children. Now, other journalists also fear their families could be targeted solely for them doing their job.

Serious question: What are the chances that the family is being targeted versus just being in a building they happened to bomb along with so many others? The article doesn't address that, and it's hard for me to believe that Israel would even know where this guy's family was. I would think if their intelligence was that good, then they should be able to locate some of the hostages, right? Just for context, I think both sides suck and don't care to hear any vitriol from either side. I'm really only interested in discussing if there is any evidence this was a targeted attack vs happenstance.

You still don't get it. Unfortunately most voters think like you and that's why we are stuck.

Nope, this isn't true. If a candidate can get at least 5% of the popular vote for the presidency, they will secure federal funding for their party in the next election cycle. Access to the debates, visibility, and legitimacy—factors that could make people who think like you consider it as a viable option—are all key aspects of how a party gets started. If everyone who didn't vote instead voted third party, well, the third party would probably win. However, 'everyone' is a big stretch, so let's consider people who want to vote but dislike the two major choices. They can get the ball rolling towards becoming an actual option.

So many American voters believe that if they vote for someone who doesn't win then they wasted their vote. I really don't get it. Wasting your vote is voting for a candidate you do not support.

It's my understanding that the TB vaccine is not all that effective. You'll also test positive with TB skin tests for the rest of your life.

Edit: did some looking and it's pretty effective in babies just not in adults.

After a water heater leak I just made my own. I run my HA on a Raspberry Pi, so I connected the GPIO pins to a current-limiting resistor and some wires that I put in the drip pan of my water heater. I made the two contacts using a screw connector, and hot glued it in the pan. You can also do this with an ESP chip. Additionally, I integrated my smoke detectors through an optoisolator and connected all my hard-wired door and window sensors to the GPIO. It's been working great this way for me.

I have never heard anyone use the word deplane before I read your comment. I've heard disembark plenty, but it's a little formal usually it's just get your ass off the plane.

Because you obviously didn't even bother to read the article.

AnitaB.org, the nonprofit that runs the conference, said there was “an increase in participation of self-identifying males” at this year’s event.

Why get legal experts to weight in on this? That assumes he is listening to his counsel which we all know he is not. Need a phycologist to weight in on this instead to make any sense of it. I don't think his delusional narcissistic ass has the capacity to realize he is going to lose, but I'm not a legal expert or psychologist.

Can I just volunteer to live in the state primarily populated by cows? That sounds wonderful. Cows make better neighbors then most people. Maybe I can vote a cow in as our state representative.

I say we go further and just get rid of Florida all together.

News organizations are typically issued seapenas for specific information because just raiding them and going through everything can reveal sources for unrelated stories. News organizations should have the ability to protect confidential sources if needed. Reason people are saying unconstitutional is because first amendment protects speech and freedom of press.

At least that's how I understand it but I am not a lawyer.

When I tried playing with omit in the template editor I got an error about omit being undefined so probably not built in. Bummer because that would be a very elegant solution to this. I'm going to put this down for the night and try picking it back up tomorrow. I really appreciate all the suggestions. Hopefully it will lead me to a solution.

It worked the same as your suggestion above. In cases the variable is used it does works as intended but in the situation the variable is not set it's still sending data: just with a blank value.

To give more context I'm working on a media control dashboard. The script or rather scripts I have to send commands to kodi is as follows

    
kodi_control:
  sequence:
  - service: kodi.call_method
    target:
      entity_id: '{{ kodi_entity }}'
    data:
      method: '{{ kodi_method }}'

kodi_control_playback:
  sequence:
  - service: kodi.call_method
    target:
      entity_id: '{{ kodi_entity }}'
    data:
      method: '{{ kodi_method }}'
      playerid: '{{ kodi_playerid }}'

kodi_control_subtitles:
  sequence:
  - service: kodi.call_method
    target:
      entity_id: '{{ kodi_entity }}'
    data:
      method: '{{ kodi_method }}'
      action: '{{ kodi_action }}'

kodi_control_seek:
  sequence:
  - service: kodi.call_method
    target:
      entity_id: '{{ kodi_entity }}'
    data:
      method: '{{ kodi_method }}'
      playerid: '{{ kodi_playerid }}'
      value: '{{ kodi_value }}'

kodi_control_playlist:
  sequence:
  - service: kodi.call_method
    target:
      entity_id: '{{ kodi_entity }}'
    data:
      method: '{{ kodi_method }}'
      window: '{{ kodi_window }}'
      parameters: '{{ [ kodi_parameters ] }}'


  

I would like to condense all of this down to a single script using "is defined" to omit the parts not needed for certain commands so something like

    
kodi_control:
  sequence:
  - service: kodi.call_method
    target:
      entity_id: '{{ kodi_entity }}'
    data: >-
      method: '{{ kodi_method }}'
      {% if kodi_playerid is defined %}
        playerid: '{{ kodi_playerid }}'
      {% endif %}
      {% if kodi_action is defined %}
        action: '{{ kodi_action }}'
      {% endif %}
      {% if kodi_value is defined %}
        value: '{{ kodi_value }}'
      {% endif %}
      {% if kodi_window is defined %}
        window: '{{ kodi_window }}'
      {% endif %}
      {% if kodi_parameters is defined %}
        parameters: '{{ [ kodi_parameters ] }}'
      {% endif %}


  

Problem with the above is I get "result is not a dictionary"
