Not only did you save money, you kept some plastic out of a landfill. Good job!

So the elderly, the sick, and the poor, they just die?

Jollof rice is a West African dish, but I don’t know if the rest is West African.

I cannot express how much I want this movie to be unconditionally good.

Ok that makes sense. It helps that you described who was doing what, because that was also confusing for me.

Some lady Tony knew.

For real? Because that almost makes sense.

“An install package came in. Preparation wasn’t there for it. [He] got called out on it. Didn’t like that. Brian didn’t appreciate him not liking it.”

I don’t understand what any of that means.

I’d love to see the Eagles scoop him up with their 7th round pick and have him carry around a water bottle for Hurts. Get humbled, learn to be a man, spend time learning opposition playbooks and running drills for the practice squad, all the while surrounded by legitimate NFL pros. If he develops into a good QB, another team will trade for him and give him a big contract. QB factory, baby.

Right, but that’s my point. Why aren’t the schedules kept locally? Why aren’t the lights automated with presence? My automated home doesn’t require a connection to anything external to keep working. I pull weather data for forecasts, but if that goes down I can still pull the temp from my sensor outside. Worst case scenario is my garden sprinkler turns on when it’s raining. Everything else functions entirely offline. Lights, music, door locks, HVAC, even the TV remote (which I don’t even use because I prefer the actual remote with physical buttons).

I never understood why you would want anything connected to the cloud. Like if the central server goes down, you just can’t turn on the lights or open your garage door? Why do people install that garbage? It’s not even really automated, you’re just using your voice or your phone to turn it off and on.

You could lock it from the outside and pull it closed.

Actually, now that it’s been described, I do know that they make double keyed doorknobs for glass doors or doors with low windows close to the handle. The idea is that people can’t smash the window and let themselves in. But the person above is correct that it is a fire code violation if that’s the only egress for exactly this reason.

Gotcha, makes sense. Thank you.

I don’t understand how you locked the door from the inside without the key and without a mechanism to unlock the door. Not calling you a liar, I am just puzzled.

Except it isn’t a broken clock, it’s a lying clock. It’s saying the time is inconsistent and arbitrary, and only that clock can tell you the true time. The first step in getting you to accept the lying clock as the source of true time is to tell you a time you think is correct, but justify it with a lie. It may indeed be 12 noon eastern standard time, but it is not because the clock had a conference call with Bigfoot and Dracula where they determined it is indeed 12 noon eastern time.

I worked as a real estate agent, and you’re correct that there is a reason to have those items in the home for tours. You want the house to feel luxurious, open, uncluttered, decorated but with enough space for all the buyer’s stuff. You also want it to look like the previous owner was rich and meticulous, giving people a sense that they would have immediately fixed that leaky pipe or paid a pro to install the dishwasher. You bake cookies before an open house or a showing to make the house smell nice.

There’s absolutely no reason to take and post a photo of a close up of a little paperweight statue. You don’t need a closeup photo of cookies.

Star Wars aside, why are there so many pictures of their stuff? Like a close up of knick knacks and a plate of cookies? Are they leaving their shit behind as part of the sale?

I mean, I do that but unintentionally. I’m a terrible developer.
