A California city has agreed to pay $900,000 to a man who was subjected to a 17-hour police interrogation in which officers pressured him to falsely confess to murdering his father, who was alive....
Was there some sort of assurance that nothing was going to happen when the contract expired, and this expectation was changed? Freenom hasn’t been registering domains since Jan 1....
I got interested in SF because the librarian in my elementary was a SF lover. There were racks of paperbacks that I gobbled up and it’s stuck with me for decades since. It makes me sad to think that kids don’t have the same chance I did to get interested at an early age in the most imaginative genre of fiction. We all need...
Jaskirat Singh Sidhu’s lawyer has said there are still numerous other legal procedures to come, and the deportation process could take months or years.
Look up MELT. It’s now over $20k and hundreds of hours of class and driving. It’s crazy.
Hell, I challenged the test 30 years ago, it was basically hook up a trailer, drive around for an hour and do some backups, then show you can unhook a trailer. Never did a class, but I’m also a farmer so I’ve been driving trucks since I could reach the pedals.
It’s truck driving, not rocket surgery. Stay awake and avoid killing busloads of kids. Millions of miles driven a day without incidents. As far as miles per accident, even old CDL drivers are orders of magnitude safer than the run of the mill driver with a 5000lb weapon in their hands, yet I don’t see the authorities doing shit-all about the yahoos I see lobbing their vehicle blindly down the QE2
Because having to block 2 fanaticus communities every time a game is finished because there’s a post in the winning and losing teams community is rapidly getting old, and I have no idea how many teams of how many different sports exist on that server, but it seems like a hell of a lot.
With the shipping they charge, it’s almost 50% extra on the cost of the order. In comparison, I shipped US$9500 of solar batteries across the border last month and paid $170 to a reputable broker that actually had to do some work....
We have our house and a cabin. While I guess I could make an area for the cabin, it has it’s own areas that I’d like to manage separately (and copy automations directly)....
I don’t see that there’s any sort of integration for writing code to process information from HA entities like Node Red + Companion. Am I missing something and this is more than just an interface for the config files and maybe a git client for those config files?
I have no idea how long this has been a thing, and maybe every clipboard works that way, not just Plasma, and I never realized it. It also lets you do things like Rt-click on it and do the regular operations like Search in Firefox. Spaces aren’t preserved unless you specifically select them but search engines seem to be able...
These things aren’t bad, I’ve got a few that I use sort of successfully, but the speaker and mic aren’t very powerful. I was thinking of building one with an ESP32 and i2S (not i2c, that threw me off too) speaker/mic, but I’m wondering if I’d be reinventing the wheel here if there’s a better alternative already out...
Having set up a couple of communities, there is a setting for language. Are these items showing up in my feed because the community has not set their language, or is something going on with language filtering on All? It seems like there’s way more off-language things coming through on All in the last day or two.
Got a young guy that needs a reasonable used laptop, in the $2-300 range. Looking for smooth but not spectacular graphics, and a 15" screen or better. Preferably with 2 drive slots so he can have an NVME or other SSD for the OS and a large rust drive for installing games. It’s going to be plugged in when used, and weight...

VS Code in Home Assistant: any use for this outside of editing yaml files?
I don’t see that there’s any sort of integration for writing code to process information from HA entities like Node Red + Companion. Am I missing something and this is more than just an interface for the config files and maybe a git client for those config files?
Maybe I'm just new, but I just realized you can Ctrl-select or Ctrl-dblclick individual, separate pieces of text and copy them to the clipboard in one operation.
