If it was a local post, he was more likely to see it. Some marriages do work out nicely and people will speak highly of it. And when that perfect storm happens, it’s far more likely to be noticed by others than every little relationship and graffiti that turns into nothing special (or nothing at all)

It just died because the battery manufacturer screwed it up

That’s debatable. They are bringing it back, and it will have the newer Ultium battery, but whether the battery recall is what did it is hard to say. They did run another model year after that happened, though I would’ve expected a little more after the refresh from the 2022MY.

On the other hand, the Bolt platform was released in 2016. A lot has changed since then, particularly with charging. 55kW is laughable compared to pretty much everything else on the market these days, and they may need to go back to the drawing board to update it.

English pronunciation can be difficult, though through tough thorough thought, it can generally be figured out

Maybe you were thinking of Amy Coney Barrett?

In 1869, under a new presidential administration, Congress expanded the Court to include nine Justices.11 The 1869 legislation was the last time Congress changed the size of the Supreme Court.

That was how we went up to nine justices. I assume “Congress” to mean both houses, otherwise they presumably would’ve said which house. But admittedly I haven’t dug into the logistics of that particular action

Like Merrick Garland? Basically the only guy who could have maybe made it through a confirmation hearing with a Republican-controlled Congress when Obama was in office? Someone who couldn’t really be attacked on the merits, making it pretty obvious that McConnell’s shenanigans were 100% political? Or are Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson moderates?

“we” includes the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. I’d love to see it, but…

They already did that about 30 years ago…

Did you perhaps just read the small paragraph that gets added to the post on lemmy?

To be honest, yeah. I’m used to that having full articles to save me from the ad infestations of so many news sites out there that I didn’t bother clicking into it. Plus it was a bit early for me when I was giving my daughter an overnight bottle so I was in a state of foggy annoyance.

They used a lot of words to say that it’s recently rained in Barcelona and the tourist season is beginning. Then they said tourists use more water than residents, with absolutely no indication of how that may be the case.

Then the article just… Stopped.

That’s fine until you tell me that’s almost 40 years ago!

I also got Z-wave shades from Bali when Home Depot had a 50% off custom window treatments sale. They’ve been wonderful, and integrate with Home Assistant very nicely overall. Battery lasts a long time (about 6 months of use, with a daily “round trip” and they’re still at about 60%) and status gets reported back. One piece on one shade got machined weirdly so I couldn’t use the Z-wave, and they were happy to send a replacement.

Bali is manufactured by a company called Springs Window Fashions. Might be worth looking into them and their other brands too!

Oh, and Home Depot has sample material books you can take home for a night to see what would work best for you.

I have a ton of east-facing windows on the back of my house. It’s a blessing or a curse depending on weather and time of day. I always dreamed about them running automatically, and eventually ordered a bunch of Z-wave controlled motorized shades. Then a Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant to control it all.

While I was waiting for those shades to arrive, I got a bunch of Kasa light switches so I didn’t have to sweep across the entire house to turn off all the lights every night. Turning the hallway light off after 9:45PM triggers the automation.

The rabbit hole only got bigger from there.

Canada and Denmark also had the most adorable and honestly, meaningless border dispute up until a couple years ago

after an unopposed bid

I mean, if literally nobody else made a proposal for this, what are the UN’s options? Just put it in some unprepared location? Cancel it? Do some lame virtual thingy? Sometimes you’re just dealt a shitty hand and there’s no good way to play it

I know you’re being facetious but not gonna lie, the progression from a 5.25" 1.2MB floppy to a modern micro SD card with a practically infinitely bigger amount of storage is one of the things that blows my mind most about how much technology has evolved

Credit cards, but not credit. Home, auto, business, and other loans have existed long before that.

I love the “to be determined” if there is anything on board that can cause a health hazard (they did quarantine astronauts when they first came back from the moon)
