Are you sure about that?

Lol yes. Its a relay with a secondary control via mqtt with intermittent status reporting.

it also probably means your lights all turn on after a power outage since the light can’t tell the difference between power outage and light switch flipped off.

Not how that works.

And what happens if someone fails the drug test?

Barred from any federal work for a year.

They sure are trying to.

Some highlights:

• Working before 6:30 a.m. or after 11 p.m. when school is scheduled the following day
• Working for more than eight hours in a day when school is scheduled the following day (except on holidays or Sundays)
• Working more than 30 hours in any one week while school is in session (though this can be waived by a parent or school superintendent)
• On any school day, 16- and 17-year-olds who aren’t in a career education program may not be employed during school hours
• Working more than eight hours in a day without a 30-minute break

I'm perfectly fine with enabling a connection, just not requiring one.

For example - my lights are automated. They have a switch though. If they went offline (or my server does), I can press the entirely local switch and have light.

As a reminder though, 418 is supposed to be the response for requests of the teapot to brew coffee.

There are a few other articles it seems - this one has:

While the victim has found some solace in the court’s recognition of her assault, she is disappointed that her attacker faces no real consequences.

Which says she was not happy with the outcome, only that the rape was recognized.

Per this article:

Leuven University Hospital has suspended a medical student that was convicted of raping another student but was not sentenced for his crime.

The school has at least ensured there were some measure of consequences. Also:

Chief physician Gert Van Assche said that "First and foremost our thoughts go out to the victim. Together with KU Leuven we will look at the court’s ruling and examine how we will go on from there. In the meantime, as a precautionary measure the doctor concerned has been suspended from duties at the hospital”.

The only other article was paywalled and seemed to have no additional information anyway.

Edit: I think its worth noting, though it can be seen in the link, he was studying gynecology.

Appreciate the clarification, and have to agree that noting their affiliation being necessary does suck. Its been necessary for a few decades now though, the extremes may be more extreme but the pattern itself I don't think has changed.

They are referring to "liberal" being at the center, and that being the most "left" option.

Biden vs Bernie basically (and respectively to the above).

In the specific situation of having just had a child, with a 12 week limit.

I dont think this is the one thats going to be an issue.

Auto segment is about 80% of their revenue, with the remaining 20% being an about even split of the services and energy gen / storage segments.

With ~$100b in total revenue, the percentages are right around where the billions are per segment.

Energy gen/storage as well as services went up a bit in revenue for 2024, but auto also went down, keeping their totals about the same from 2023.

They explain on their site here.

There is membership/assessed, which goes by each member country's wealth. There are also voluntary contributions, which comes in a few forms - core, which have no specific requirement on use, strategic donations which have general goals and can be applied to anything in that field/theme, and specified, which go to specific projects or efforts.

There is also a budget portal which details how money is spent.

Debatable, it might just end up with AI generated Trump-face and a whole lot of pretending he's still functional while they continue to destroy the country.

Though yeah, he'd be a better president and human being. Just not sure it would have any positive impact on the rest of us.

If I remember right, it was a cancer rumor with a cancer specialist going e erywhere with him, and there is also a scar on his neck that corroborates that I believe. I dont think it was wishful thinking, just reporting a possibility (from the reporting at least - random people on the internet, different story).

The more recent one I think is just a comment from Zelensky, so anything there would be wishful thinking as of now, I agree. I'm sure he has intel showing that to be the case, but how accurate it is? I don't know.

In the case of Trump, I think there is visible decline, but - and this is my opinion only - its clearly cognitive, which doesn't mean he won't survive for a long time. Even as basically a vegetable he could serve his purpose to the right wing.
