Exactly. This headline is inaccurate garbage. It should be something like “Trump blames Iran” + preferably “without evidence”

How very charitable of you.

I get your frustration. “Why won’t they accept our help dammit” is a common refrain. But it’s one that assumes that (a) homelessness is a simple matter of not being housed and (b) housed people understand the appropriate solutions. In fact not being housed is mostly a symptom and the issues at play are much more complex, ranging from lack of opportunity and generational poverty to substance and mental health issues.

And it’s also a cause… of shame, guilt, more mental health issues, more substance abuse. Often these mix in with the preconditions that come with offers of “help” to make it impossible to say yes.

I have refused housing because I didn’t think I could live up to the obligations it came with. I’ve refused housing because it was clearly unsafe. And I’ve refused housing simply because I was suffering from severe untreated depression and couldn’t handle being around people or even just accepting help.

So the truth is that yes, no one wakes up and chooses homelessness… but it’s important to understand that the lack of housing is only one component of homelessness. I didn’t choose to be born trans & gay and have to deal with all the mental health and societal issues that came with that. But I choose to not being housed at times because that was the only way I could even attempt to heal and deal with it safely and on my terms.

“And now, for our next trick, we will proceed to criminalizing poverty!”

“The proof is that there isn’t any proof”

Sums it up beautifully. I am so stealing this. Thank you!

It’s not too late to swap him out. Eric Trump would be a big step up!

Yeah, Nebula is quite good. Really like Curiosity Stream too… I subscribe to both.

But alas, most channels I follow are Youtube only and not likely to change :(

Sorry who are you?

But do you have a viable alternative in your back pocket?

Clearly YOU can’t

Why? Is it the woman thing?

Harris is even more unlikeable than a corpse and hrc, so the DNC will likely settle on her.

Why?

“Biden is a sure loss, he literally cannot win”

Since you have your crystal ball handy, can you let us know next week’s winning lottery numbers?

Wow, you were around 80 years ago? Very impressive!

I’m kind of more inclined to blame Trump and the GOP, but you are not wrong…

Losing implies that something happened. Like in a race a contestant is visibly ahead, or in gambling you have more chips than someone else or your money is all gone.

In my experience pretty much all IP cameras phone home in some way at some point, so yeah, you are best off putting them on a separate VLAN and routing appropriately.

The only brand I’ve had a good experience with is Reolink. I don’t think the quality is appreciably different than a brand like Hikvision and the firmware and support is vastly superior.

Edit: Some good info on using Reolink cameras with Frigate. I use Blue Iris but would vastly prefer OSS.

Both are true. And they want the data privatized so only they can profit from it.

I was glossing over the details. To clarify - and I think you mean this - they want the free data from NWS but they don’t want that same data to be publicly available. Except that’s not generally how federal government data works - by law in most cases it has to be made public. But that’s kind of irrelevant in the context of “disband the NWS” at least in the sense that Accuweather very much wants the free ride to continue or failing that to get handed all the NWS resources, which isn’t gonna fly not least because other providers would strongly object. IOW, this is all kind of DOA.

Is he gonna wear that bandage until November?

Accuweather doesn’t compete with NWS, they rely on it’s data.
