Basically in my experience, when it comes to smart lights it’s generally just worth springing the extra for Philips Hue (and using the hub, not just in Bluetooth mode) unless you want to waste your time and money with other brands. Nothing else seems to be remotely as reliable and easy to work with—and I have zero patience for having to perform tech support on my house lighting.

I’m glad to hear you got your bulbs working though

Okay cool, but what about the games you’ve already had out for like a year?

Like, idk, ff7r2 on PC?

Well I’m glad someone has done this so everyone else can see for sure that this is a dead idea

That thumbnail lol

Okay but what if you use emoji in your password?

It does, I first saw it on ebaumsworld

Chllng vrything

Legitimately—who is even asking for this, I don’t remember someone ever sending me a text that was so long I found myself wishing for a summary.

I too did something similar years ago but with a hot sauce I believe was intended as a cooking additive (mad dog 357). Slightly inebriated me decided that I should drench that pizza in it.

That was a mistake.

First was the stupid amount of heat I’d just crammed into my mouth. The heat kept building endlessly until I hit a sorta euphoria and then immediately I get stomach cramps like nothing I’d ever experienced. I think I might have actually passed out for a bit following that

2/10, probably wouldn’t repeat

Edit: just looked that hot sauce up, it’s double the scoville rating of Da Bomb: Beyond Insanity

Politics is not just the relationship between two people, it’s the relationship between a person and everyone/everything else in the world.

Reducto ad absurdum: would you suggest a world where every country is at war with everyone else would foster a better environment for global FOSS collaboration than one where the world was at complete peace?

I honestly thought the statement you quoted was entirely uncontroversial. “Healthy” and “global” being the key words, I’m not saying it’s a requirement for FOSS to exist in general or anything.

It’s a fact of life that politics permeates everything, nothing is in isolation of the political climate it exists within.

The state of the world today is a function of the politics that got us here, a big change in world politics can have dramatic and far reaching effects.

A healthy global FOSS culture requires collaborative politics to be the flavour of the day—which is unfortunately not the case in a lot of countries currently.

Archive.is is definitely not an alternative that people should use in this situation

It’s the express, you’re better off never reading a word they print

Telling on themselves a bit given the implication is that they’re so far behind every other country who’re definitely already doing the same

The way things are going we’re all going to be dead before it gets to that point

Woah there, he didn’t say bassist

Heat pump would be best

5 minutes is superhuman btw, I need a good half hour before anyone can expect anything remotely reasonable from me

Was gonna say, plain hotdog even for a proposal?

Does this guy even have the concept of what a bad hotdog might be?

Oh, like the free bank transfers we’ve had in the UK since… 1997…?
