Can !homeassistant@lemmy.world help with that?

Yeah this is begging for !homeassistant@lemmy.world to replace that app.

Yeah. I've found new logic by asking GPT for improvements on my code or suggestions.
I cut the size of a function in half once using a suggested recursive loop and it blew my mind.
Feels like having a peer to do a code review on hand at all times.

Everyone keeps talking about autocomplete but I've used it successfully for comments and documentation.
You can use vs code extensions to generate and update readme and changelog files.
Then if you follow documentation as code you can update your Confluence/whatever by copy pasting.

I'm 40 and clearly balding since mid 30s. It sucks and I thought I wasn't vain enough to care.

Even better. The steamdeck is like the Switch. Dock it and play on your TV. You can even render on a gaming PC and stream to your TV of you want those cutting edge graphics.

For real. The number of times I've seen people "weld" without proper eyewear is ridiculous. Mainly "street" techs or "friends" doing work for a quick buck. The ONE I saw recently using PPE was a corporate worker fixing a ladder in a retail store.

I have a brother multifuction laser. From a thrift store. 6 years so far on a 3rd party XL toner...
I've spent more on paper than the printer+toner

The only games you BUY now are GOG. DRM free.
You can download the installer and archive it. If GOG goes under you can still install and play it.

Yeah really.
Was the first one really so successful that they needed a v2 already? Is this really going to warrant a new release or is it just a flex?

She's talking about rasing Corp tax then offering breaks to bring more jobs back to the US.
Amazon, Google and other giant companies aren't the goal. The goal is making massive greedy corps "pay thier fair share" vs trump cutting their taxes in half (15% vs 28%).
She specifically calls out bringing more manufacturing jobs back into the states. Steel and vehicle manufacturing. Shes also very pro union.

They also invested heavily into selling loads of televisions. They stocked up on TVs for the holiday season using purchase orders (basically using an IOU to pay back later), but when they were stuck with all thier unsold stock they folded since they couldn't pay those bills.
Oh and Best Buy owes its survival to investing heavily into cell phone plans and contracts. They would've folded without it.
Even now they get lots of company kickbacks from Sony, Samsung, Apple, Sonos, etc to be a showroom for stuff.

I agree. But hours wait time to take vitals and then give fluids/meds to provide relief?
I don't recall the specifics but it's usually "severe" chest or stomach pain. I'm the default in my family to grab someone at any hour to run them to the ER.
Edit: I'm talking 5~7 hours usually for late night ER visits in a major US city.

I believe I forgot to state my point. Your health plan and its cost doesn't help your level of care.
I understand triage. Prioritizing care based on severity. The wait is most likely due to staffing constraints on the graveyard shift.
Its just frustrating that every experience at the ER amounts to hours of wait time. Especially considering the cost of the appointment.

I approve of this sentiment.
More men should be enthusiastic about going down on their partners.
So I bumped into a new series while going down the rabbit hole with no description. Cover art and title was interesting so I read a few. Standard setup and back story. Might be interesting to see if anything unique stands out... Then it kept jumping forward. The story progressed way too fast. I realized it was a manhua. I don't know why but there's always so much happening so fast it's hard for me to digest it all that I end up dropping it. **What are your thoughts?** Other manhua I've dropped: * Versatile Mage * My Wife is a Demon Queen * Monster Pet Evolution
Apologies if this is the wrong instance for this. Is there a best option for HTPC streaming solutions besides throwing Linux on an old desktop? Plugging in a desktop for streaming doesn't work too well for wall mounted televisions. My options are mini PCs or a 3rd party streaming stick. Even a RasPi stick running [OSMC](https://osmc.tv/) should do the trick. These 3rd party sticks online are extremely tempting for power and features but I'm concerned about embedded malware. Best option would be to wipe it and load [OSMC](https://osmc.tv/)or raspbian to ensure its clean. Anyone have experience with this?

So I'm a long time fan and playing my first campaign. First big quest and we're in a fortress. Pretty spent after an encounter and some traps. We see a sleeping BBEG in the way of our finish. Cast pass without a trace to sneak past. Fighter in heavy rolls a nat 1 on his disadvantage. So it's 1 + 1 dex +10 pass without a trace = 12 BBEG passive perception is 10. We sneak past. WTH? I mean sure my PC is happy but I feel somehow disappointed in our DM giving us a pass. I've DMd before and would've definitely woken up the boss. I feel like DM gave us the pass cause it could've been a TPK. Thoughts? Edit: Thank you everyone for your thoughts. I was caught up in the homebrew rule of auto fail nat1s that is NOT in the PHB. Rules as written we earned that easy win by taking advantage of the bosses low perception and spending a spell slot on pass without a trace.
