I feel like it might just be that we don’t offer the same level of care to animals than women but yes, also getting spayed or fixed likely decreases the likelyhood of issues the gynocologist checks for. Depends on how they fix the animal; removing the uterus for example, would probably decrease issues later but I imagine tieing the tubes would help less so.
In older women, removing the uterus stops periods and a bunch of other things I have heard.


Would like to know if the most recent update lays ground work for the developer attestation program or if that is installed against my will regardless.
Shark housing waters.
En-sharked waters.
Shark-able waters.
Bity waters.
Yeah, I tried his advise and my dishwasher is a bit better but nowhere near cleaning pots properly if something was cooked onto them. We tried half a dozen different detergents (powders, pods, and liquid), putting detergent in the tub directly in addition to the little door, harsher wash cycles.
I can also smell rotting on dishes once clean but wetted if we run anything through with cat food on it (though few other people around me can smell it unless it gets really bad). I can tell a week later if we ran cat food through the dishwasher because I’ll pull out a cup and fill it with water and then smell rotting halfway through my drink.
No the dishwasher doesn’t have anything stuck in the filter. Yes this still happens immediately following a couple cleaning cycles according to the manual’s instructions. No including vinegar in an upright cup doesn’t change the behaviour but it does eat through our pot bottoms something fierce. The problem completely goes away if we soak cat food dishes beforehand and make sure there are no chunks of cat food that go through the dishwasher with no changes to anything else.
The dishes are clean enough to eat off but they are not as clean as if I washed them or paid special attention when using the dishwasher. Often the pots have residue / calcium / burnt on food bits left. Cutlery periodically comes out with dried food stuck on random parts of it even if the dishwasher wasn’t very full to begin with.


It never left, but common folks decreased reliance on it substantially. When Netflix was popular my house of IT people slowed and almost stopped pirating video content entirely, there was no reason. After Netflix turned shit and half a dozen services sprung up, we cancelled Netflix and now pirate absolutely everything video. There was a slight drop while crunchyroll was good, but it becasue shit enough apparently that those in my family using it returned to pirating.
Music didn’t shitify as much though, I feel it’s improved now. I have Tidal because it’s cheap and easy to find new music. I seldom find music that I can’t listen to on Tidal.
Elegedly.


I use Sonoff S31 plugs, then flash them with Espurna. They work in Home Assistant via MQTT, they have a website with login that works locally, and they have no cloud connections. WiFi connected, not new enough to have Matter or anything.
Oh Ikea just came out with Matter plugs that are good. Just get your own Matter over Thread antenna and they are cloud-less (except possibly some of the stupid Matter spec stuff, not sure how Home Assistant implements it all).


Set it up with NetBird or Tailscale so it isn’t externally accessible.
Yeah, I use Tidal for recommendations, then download so they don’t rug-pull me.


Makes me happy to hear I’m not the only one.


I drove a newer rental car and tried all the safety assist features. I felt the same way after less than at hour of driving and turned everything except cruise and emergency brake off.
Don’t even get me started on how useless the voice control system was. The car voice control is usually significantry worse than the Google provided version. I frankly do not understand how Google has done such a garbage job. Voice control on Google seems to have gotten worse since it came out, not better. At least for actually getting things done rather than just asking silly questions. I can’t even effectively take a note on my motorcycle reliably by voice.


In the UK they rarely ever use stop signs apparently. Every fucking intersection where I am is a stop sign.
I think we way over use them and in many cases we should have had a yeild sign.


Most of them, yes.
I did like NOS and I drink Guru Original when I want the additional caffeine, but none of the others.
The main stream ones, seem to just suck. But sometimes I think if one of the smaller brands hits you just right then it’s enjoyable the same way a Pepsi or other pop is.


Mmm. Interesting. The dual chemical effect explains why I found Vyvanre eventually burnt me out (I assume also Concerta, Dexodrine, and some other one). I’m on Straterra now which seems to affect both to some extent which is probably why it didn’t burn me out after a year and increasing doses. Though, it still doesn’t do everything because I still don’t seem to produce either chemical in a meaningful amount so I still get lowish. It’s just easier to get an increase and it lasts longer. https://www.drugs.com/medical-answers/how-strattera-work-moa-3578126/
I wonder what Caffeine does. Mmm, it does both and more, no wonder it helps. I wonder what active behaviour causes eventual burn out with this like Vyvance. I did manage for almost 8 months to take a small dose of caffeine every morning (apparently less than 30mg in a tea drink) and Straterra with amazing effects that didn’t seem to diminish. Until it caused acid reflux and I had to stop :/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK223808/
I wonder what foods produce more norepinepherine or facilitate its creation.


Yeah, they did. I didn’t even blink because they disclosed it directly to me.
Unlike companies like Microsoft, Google, Eufy, etc who do their best to cover it up.


Yeah eventually I figured it out reading through all the comments :) Please update us if you figure it out because I have a fan and TV with RF remotes I would love to control.


Ikea has nice thread buttons you can connect to Home Assistant, though I feel I’ve missed some part of the requirements.


Yes, rose coloured. But I’d rather be in an environment where there are a million ways to make the life of a scraping AI company hard so it’s impossible for them to account for everything.
More options, are more better especially when they are otherwise meanlessly different for users.
Also there is evidence that poisoning an AI’s training set does not require much data.


Though it does change the landscape and introduce additional computation for those scraping.
If they make a mistake and don’t account for all the ways the model can be poisoned they risk significant capital training only to identify an issue causing degraded results.
Imagine if everyone did this differently on many websites. It would cause a re-evaluation of scraping costs.
You know, if you put in one paragraph of the positive results before the “it doesn’t work” sentence I would probably read the first sentence and ignore the rest.
Huh. I have never had that experience. Interesting to know.
