Whoa I had no idea this happened. I used to be a part of a group that would go in and add street view for places like public transit stations so people could gauge accessibility. It's such a shame that Google killed that ability...

There's nothing worse than SSHing into a remote machine, coding some stuff in vim and losing the SSH connection randomly. Especially when you're working in a controlled remote environment instead of locally, screen is super useful to keep your place when you get back.

My knowledge on Hamas amounts to the first half of their Wikipedia page so I'd love to learn some more about their. While I can Google their name I'm going to get some weirdly biased shit that will probably contradict itself quickly. Got any suggestions for sources I can read up on to learn more about Israel's influence there?

After we lost that one expensive spacecraft we've been moving towards metric more and more there as well.

Both? Both!

They're starting to charge $0.30/packet in some areas of the US. Clearly this place is going downhill only because of that /s

My neighbor used to walk his cat on a leash to stay active in both of their old age. It used to be cute to watch the snow white cat just walking around with his harness, having the time of his life.

Cats shouldn't be left to roam free outdoors.

Yes, because not all drugs are bad for you.

I can only imagine they meant caffeine, another common drug that's heavily abused but a little more socially accepted

Definitely a lot more out in the country than in the cities or even suburbs. 10% sounds about right.

I think it's fair to say that our understanding of history, something which can change because it's always in the context of the present, has changed.

"Living the dream" is also in the US but it's usually more sarcastic like "Just another shitty day at this job, just living the dream!"

All of those are widespread in the northeast US if not across the entire US.

This is what gap insurance is for (well, one of the reasons) although I'm aware that lots of people don't get it.

It's wild when I was looking to do something similar and instead ended up buying a newish electric vehicle because it was about the same price as what I'd otherwise have gotten.

I make use of the Aqara wall switches. Because I live in a 120 year old house without neutral wiring and with 120V lines, Aqara is one of the few that makes a no-neutral wall switch that fits in a standard Decora mount and also works when the Zigbee network is down.

WS-USC01 through WS-USC04

Comes in with- and without- neutral options as well as single and double rockers.

If you're not in the US they also make a much wider variety of switches, mix of touch and rockers, that work with 240V with and without neutrals.

I'm aware that Aqara is a Chinese company and you should probably never let them on your wifi network. But because it's Zigbee it's far less of a risk and they're plug and play compatible with all of the major Zigbee controllers.

We've proposed "Routey" (pronounced like "Rudy") as a nickname for a future pet named "Littleton/Route 495" (named after the MBTA Commuter Rail stop). You could also do "Tony" but that's less fun.

Reputable? Eh, depends on your definition.

A lot of people make use of Sonoff and Tuya-relabled Zigbee relays. If you're able to control it at a wall switch (so not an actual relay) then your options greatly increase.

Can I discourage rolling your own password manager (like using a text doc or spreadsheet) and instead recommend what you hopefully meant, self-hosting your own password manager?

KeysOff has been very reliable for me in the past (I'm not affiliated with them, just a happy customer) but I'm pretty sure there are multiple VLK resellers out there for Windows keys at this point.
