If you're going to report on a Supreme Court's failure to consider a case, I'm begging you, tell us in the headline what the appellate decision was. Don't make us dig 10 paragraphs down to find out whether the case was decided for or against.

(Since I don't want to do the exact same thing: The appellate decision held that the commission could continue to be elected by a statewide, rather than a region-by-region vote. This is equivalent to letting voters in Texas have a say in who California's senators should be.)

There's no way it kills itself without taking out Sam Altman first

I thought the latest season was very funny. And, even knowing exactly what they did with the voices and why; I didn't notice a difference. I'd say Harmon is right.

Incidentally, Justin Roiland also voiced one of the main characters on Solar Opposites, so they had to replace that one too--which they did in the funniest possible way.

So they overturned the students' vote and probably pissed off every high school student, undermined everyone's trust, so they could veto... Bulldogs? What was so bad about Bulldogs?

Brave of you to say this

Examples:

  • Black Knight (2001)
  • arguably, A Knight's Tale (2001) if you consider it sufficiently funny (big year for anachronistic knights)
  • All of the Ice Age films I guess
  • Year One (2009)

there's actually tons of these.

It's actually safer if everyone knows. Spreading the knowledge of Roko's basilisk to everyone means that everyone is incentivized to contribute to the basilisk's advancement. Therefore just talking about it is also contributing.

I respect the inclusion of Haiti here.

Crazy when politicians listen to voters and support the things they want. Don't they know what their jobs are supposed to be?

Nobody actually cares about whatever weird fuckin she did in the theater. We focus on it because it's hypocritical.

 

I'm setting up with HA and zigbee smart bulbs. I've got a few automations already set up, such as turning on a bunch of lights in the morning and turning most of them off again at night.

All these lights still have physical switches. I don't want to take those switches out for lots of reasons, and putting smart switches there seems like overkill when the bulbs are already smart. What are people doing with their physical light switches to ensure that they don't get flipped?

Ideas I've had:

  • some kind of physical plastic covering that fits snugly around it. I'd probably do this if I had a 3d printer, but I don't. Maybe someone sells a thing like this? More just a reminder not to touch them.
  • Carefully paint the switches a different color (perhaps the HA color scheme?). Again, basically just a reminder. This especially makes sense with a few multi-switch plates where some of the connected lights are automated and some are intentionally left manual.
  • Entirely replace the plate with a smart switch? Besides incurring a nontrivial cost and being a bunch of work to install, this won't even help me with the aforementioned multiswitch plates. I don't want all my lights automated.

Other ideas?

Seems self-explanatory
