Or they somehow want to price things off eBay prices. Bro, you are a thrift store. You aren't some place that should be trying to get the absolute most out of an item.

Price it vaguely on what people might pay for some used, unwashed, beat to hell thing. If someone thinks they can get more by selling it online, that's fine. That's on them. You don't have to compete with them. Turnover of items is more important than the most money on that old glass cup.

I think it's imperative that blue states activate their state guards and make an immediate push to strengthen themselves.

This is essentially a declaration of war on blue states and blue cities and their leaders and politicians.

I believe that blue states should activate and build their state guards.

The curse of competence.

Being smart means I keep getting handed more work.

I've hauled that much in my MR2 Spyder. It doesn't have a trunk or back seats.

He was an incredible man. If only we could have him back.

So wild that Fox News called him evil.

As an American living in America. I want to avoid America completely.

This is basically what killed my Linux laptop. Some windows update borked the partitions (and not just grub) so that Linux wouldn't boot anymore. I would never recommend using both on the same disk.

I don't really use that laptop for much anymore though.

I like monero. Privacy is important and there really isn't another way to pay online anonymously.

I wish there was an easier way to do it though and more places accepted it.

I don't know what world you live in, where all your hobbies are so perfect that they don't have any adverse effects at all to the world at large.

But God forbid, someone enjoys something you don't.

You could extend that holier-than-thou attitude to your hobby of posting on the Internet from a device that releases tons of other shit from its manufacturing process and the electricity that powers it - maybe time to find a new 'hobby'

Transportation as entertainment? Yes. Have you ridden a rollercoaster or even a bike?

The US CAN, you fucking asswipe. You don't WANT to.

You are like a petulant child, only caring about what you want, you narcissistic prick.

Yes and no.

More complex systems can be engineered to be quite reliable. But there is little incentive to not make that sensor in the bulb as cheap as possible.

There are commercial solutions that are overkill, like bacnet. Which work more like industrial automation than fancy apps on your phone. Extra wires are run all over the facilitate communication between devices and work more with analog inputs and outputs. Having strong relays on circuits is far more reliable than a few relays inside bulbs where they get hottest and subject to the biggest thermal swings.

Smart homes run as consumer setups are a fucking mismatch of half finished environments where nothing is truly integrating everything. They are slowly built as new devices are made "smart." And even going prosumer it's still a hodgepodge solution.

Then there is the lack of vision. When people say "smart home" they have some mental image of the house doing all this cool stuff on its own. But only those who actually play with it will set some of those automations up. And in my personal experience, there isn't all that much "smart" that needs to be done in a home. If the home owners aren't thinking what the outcome is or what automations they will use, then it's just a bunch of IoT shit sitting there mostly unused.
