One tax break doesn't make up for wanting to shut down the Department of Education which sponsors special ed programs, or repeal the ACA and reduce medicaid that help people with disabilities get health care.

The economy is recovering, inflation is back down to normal levels, unemployment is low, GDP is continuing to grow. High tariffs and deporting migrants is only going to make prices go up.

To Everyone Who Voted for Trump (self.goodoffmychest)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by aion to c/goodoffmychest
 

To everyone who voted for Trump and relies on social security, or ACA healthcare, or have pre-existing conditions, or has a child with special needs, or LGBT family, or undocumented friends and family, I have no sympathy for you. You got what you voted for, next time learn your candidate's policies before the election. We tried to warn you, we tried to tell you his policies were radical or even dangerous. We tried to tell you he wanted to take all those things away. We tried to tell you we would be the ones paying for his tariffs; but you wouldn't listen. He is not your friend, he does not care about you, all he wants to stay our of jail and make himself and his wealthy friends richer. The rest of us were willing to pay a little more for groceries if it meant our families would have healthcare, our friend's children with special needs could get an education, our parents could collect their hard-earned social security. Instead we will all pay a lot more for everything when tariffs are imposed and the migrants who pick our fruits and vegetables are deported.

Now your penance: call your congressmen every day for the next four years, ask them to stand-up to Trump, to block his policies that will make life harder and more expensive for everyday Americans, to block his nominations, tell them you will vote them out in the next election if they don't -- and actually vote against them when they don't. Write letters to the White House asking them not to do all the things he promised us he'd do. Write to the Supreme Court, and all the government agencies we rely on everyday asking them to resist rolling-back all the progress we've made as a country over the last century. If you don't, it won't just be the liberals paying the price, it will be your friends, your families, and even you.

I got the enbrighten switches set up on the bathroom fan. After a few months of observing the humidity changes I settled on triggering the fan based on the derivative of the humidity. I found that 2%/s with 2min of averaging works well, no false positives so far.

There was, but the tradition is that an incumbent president seeking reelection rarely gets challenged during the primary. Joe Biden was the only serious candidate during the Democratic primary. When he withdrew from the race after the primary, and only a few weeks before the DNC, where the nomination would be made official, there wasn't time to organize a second primary. It takes time to generate a list of candidates, get those to each of the states, have the states print ballots and organize a special election. The DNC was forced to pick a new candidate without going through another primary because they had to finalize their choice in time for the states to organize the actual election. Many states even have laws with deadlines for nominations that the DNC had to work within.

It was going to take decades to recover from how badly Trump fucked up the government last time he was in power, and the economy was only just starting to recover. With another term, its unlikely we'll be able to recover within my lifetime, my children will be left worse off than me.

A party nominating their candidate before the state deadlines to appear on the ballot is not authoritarian, its making sure their candidate appears on the ballots for the election.

Yep, according to the US Flag Code:

When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag’s own right, that is, to the observer’s left.

TBF, it does have different instructions about how to display the flag outdoors, hard to tell from this perspective if it was actually hung properly.

Even when hanging the flag vertically, this is the correct orientation, with the stars in the upper left.

what relays do you recommend?

[–] aion 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I'm think about putting them on bathroom fans as well. It would be really nice to have them automatically turn on/off based on humidity.

I was looking at the Enbrighten switches, the zigbee ones are on Amazon but they only list them the z-wave ones the Enbrighten website. Maybe the zigbee ones were discontinued? Seems like the industry is moving toward z-wave, maybe I should get a z-wave adapter as well.

I'm looking to replace a few in-wall light switches for lights that are not easily replaced with smart bulbs. I currently use Home Assistant with z2m for all my smart lights and switches, so zigbee switches would be preferred. Does anyone have recommendations for smart in-wall switches?

I picked this up at a yard sale and reseasoned it. There are no markings on it. Any idea what brand this is?

Is this the best way to use expectEqual?

fn add(a: i64, b: i64) i64 {
    return a + b;
}

test "basic test" {
    try std.testing.expectEqual(@as(i64, 10), add(3, 7));
}

Without the @as the test doesn't even compile:

./src/main.zig:12:40: error: expected type 'comptime_int', found 'i64'
    try std.testing.expectEqual(10, add(3, 7));

Having to use @as seems makes the test less readable. It seems to me inferring the type of expected from the type of actual would make more sense.

I've started seeing some posts that appear to be from the future when sorting by new. These posts get stuck at the top of the feed until their posted time.

Is this a bug in the server? It seems like this could be exploited by normal users to effectively pin posts to the feed indefinitely.
