I’m not sure about compatibility with HA (saw this via /all), but I bought the Whynter ARC-14S and a Broadlink IR universal remote + sensor cable so that I could set up some automations and/or control the AC via my phone. I think any AC with an IR remote should work in that setup.

If you’re in an area that gets lots of poor air quality days while you’ll be running it (my area usually gets a few weeks of terrible air in August & September due to wildfires), a dual hose AC is definitely worthwhile.

While searching for pictures, I saw something saying that they’re supposedly still available for sale in Australia, so maybe there’s a chance they’ll get worn out before hitting the landfill?

Great job CNN… Didn’t think to include any pictures of the actual leggings?? They’re high rise, no underwear hanging out, just the seam shape and placement is similar to a “whale tail”.

Ummm… I might be misunderstanding something, but I feel like I’ve been able to do exactly that here. Are you using an app or browsing directly on the website?

The app I’m using (Thunder) allows me to block users, communities, or entire instances, and also has keyword filtering.

I still use Craigslist, but it does seem like fewer other people do. I’ve never really cared to get top dollar for whatever I list, I mostly just want to avoid tossing it in the garbage or hauling it to a donation drop off, and it’s worked well for that. I’m currently browsing for a few items, and it does feel cluttered with dealers, even when supposedly limiting it for sale by owner only.

I tried Offer Up once a few years ago, and for some reason, it didn’t notify me of any responses, so by the time I thought to check it again, I had already sold the item through CL. I refuse to use any Meta products, so FB Marketplace effectively doesn’t exist to me.

I’m a big fan of blue cheese:

• Water cracker, soft blue cheese, and a bit of hot (spicy) honey drizzled on top.
• Ramen with blue cheese crumbles melted into the broth.
• Avocado toast with blue cheese crumbles.

Any idea how things might be handled when things get crossposted? Will replies on the crossposted threads also become comments on their sites? Or only replies to the original post?

It was years ago, so my memory might not be perfect, but I had something that kinda did that. I think it was an Xposed module called GravityBox, and there was an option to limit repeat notifications. I had set a cool down period of probably 1 minute, meaning if I received multiple messages within 60 seconds, it would only notify once, but if I received another message 60+ seconds after the first, it would ding again. I’m pretty sure that the cool down period was customizable per app too. Damn, I miss that.

That I really have absolutely zero interest in smelling their buttholes. Also, I sometimes eat plants.

Yeah, I guess I just might be a crazy cat person.

I understand that air conditioning removes some moisture from the air, but just how much of an effect does it actually have on oral moisture? I was hoping to find some sort of studies with actual measurements of some sort.

Be mindful that … air conditioning nullifies the effects for cavities.

Got any sources for that? My admittedly very brief search just turned up a bunch of stuff about ventilation and COVID/aerosols.

Hahaha! If time isn’t linear, it’s quite possible that I am your cat reincarnated or vice versa.

Not quite a command, but I seem to have confused my oldest cat so that he thinks “excuse me” is a threat. He’ll be blocking a doorway, and if I say “excuse me” as I try to pass, he hisses and possibly swats, but if I just silently try to squeeze past, we’re all good. Currently working to undo that one.

In your opinion, how should they be crediting it? I’m having trouble trying to imagine a good way that it could be credited within the song, and I can’t imagine very many people actually pay attention to the credits for music, especially when so few of us are buying physical copies anymore.

I’ve definitely experienced feeling annoyed at the new songs, but some have grown on me, and hearing the samples often leads me to add the original to my playlist. I’ve actually been having a lot of fun trying to see if I can name the original artist & song title whenever a new one pops up.

• When listening to new music, I’m constantly recognizing how heavily they sample older songs that I remember listening to when I was a kid.

• A night out with friends often ends at 9 or 10p because we’re all tired.

• A night out with friends often includes a lot of discussion of various health issues and encouraging each to see a doctor.

• I’m finding myself more and more avoidant of new technology. Or maybe it’s just that I’m getting more concerned about maintaining a little sliver of privacy?

Only if you use mmdd date format. The majority of the world uses ddmm.

I can’t speak for all other animals, but I imagine it’s often for similar reasons as why they do it for cats: removing the hormones means they’re much less likely to display unwanted behaviors such as marking/spraying, territorial aggression (fighting) towards other cats, and roaming. Those behaviors all stem from the desire to mate, and if they don’t have testosterone from the testicles, they don’t experience the desire to mate. Unless you don’t mind the smell of concentrated cat urine everywhere, adult male cats with testicles don’t make very great house pets.

With female cats, they completely remove the ovaries (rather than doing a tubal ligation) for similar reasons. If they did a tubal ligation instead, the cat would still go into heat, meaning lots of yowling and trying to escape, and an increased risk of marking/spraying, just no longer able to get pregnant. In my region, they also usually remove the uterus, but it appears that varies globally.

You could probably describe me as a “functional alcoholic”, so I find it pretty hard to imagine that I could be compatible with someone who never drinks. If I were to casually get to know someone through platonic interactions (mutual friends, sports, classes, etc.), I might be able to get to know someone well enough where it could work, but if the initial “get to know you” phase is through 1 on 1 dates, I just can’t see it working out.

Hahaha, definitely something that has crossed my mind more than a few times. I definitely see marriage as a business arrangement between good friends that hopefully includes a romantic/sexual component. Just not really sure how/where to go about interviewing for that role. Lol.
