  • For what it's worth on the voice thing, assuming that's what "he sounds like that" refers to: https://www.npr.org/2025/01/29/nx-s1-5279176/rfk-voice-spasmodic-dysphonia

    That's the result of a rare neurological condition known as spasmodic dysphonia, which has afflicted Kennedy for decades.

    If you've got any evidence that it was heroin that caused that neurological condition I'm all ears, but we have a pretty reliable source on this one.

  • Colorado's Supreme Court found that he engaged in an insurrection and was therefore ineligible. Then SCOTUS basically said "uh, this gives me the federal feelsies because it's a federal office, so Congress has to do it"

    Feels like all Congress has to do is say that the first term didn't count. But to be honest I can see poor health catching up to him first anyway.

  • I made it on the fly, but the point is that the clout goes away when 1) you're not my senator, 2) you're not a legislator in my country and 3) you go against everything I stand for - what kind of clout am I supposed to feel from someone like that?

  • I mean, I don't totally disagree here, but I'm not sure what kind of clout that's supposed to hold under team Trump.

    Like, understanding this isn't a perfect analogy, if I were working in an American prison holding a Russian prisoner and a Putin-aligned legislator wanted to see that prisoner I would take great pleasure in telling them to fuck off if I had that power.

  • Philippines was a US territory

    that hasn’t been true since 1946.

    I mean... It was a US territory. Well, at least it was under control of the US in some way. I think one of/the first cruel and unusual constitutional challenges was over something that originated in the Philippines.

  • I think Lemmy can get alarmist at times, sure. But when people are getting punished without due process, that's a big deal. When the Justice department admits they made a mistake but have no interest in correcting it, that's a big deal. When judges (and the Supreme Court) tell them to figure it out (edit: and they don't), that's a big deal. When the reason they give (the people are deported to another country and in their custody) is essentially a workaround that the Justice department came up with, and they don't have any meaningful consequence to stop them from doing it again, that's a big deal.

    Ender 3 V2 has gap on right side of bed, even with auto-level

    In the past I've gotten around this by printing on the left side of the bed, but some things need the space so here I am.

    I've got an Ender 3 V2 with some tasteful mods: OctoPrint, BLTouch, a magnetic flexible bed surface, and a few other things people are bound to do with an entry-level printer they got for $100 with a Micro Center coupon. One issue I'm having with it is that any printing done on the right side of the bed seems to have a pretty big gap. I have the G28 and G29 commands in to run the bed level, I try to get it leveled properly with the springs (with help of the bed visualizer plugin for OctoPrint) and no matter what I do, the nozzle drifts just a little farther from the bed on the right side, so the filament does not stick.

    I'm open to more mods, but before I spend more time and money on this for what I think is the problem, does anyone actually have a good idea of what's wrong here?

    Thanks much!

    YAML Newbie, stuck on what should be an easy question (using state attributes instead of numeric value)

    Solved!

    Solution was to create a group and perform an action on that:

     undefined
        
    action: light.turn_on
    target:
      entity_id: light.kitchen_cabinet_sink
    data_template:
      brightness_pct: "{{100*state_attr('light.kitchen_sink_ceiling','brightness')/255}}"
    
    
      

    Original:

    Trying to run an automation to match one light's state (on/off/dim) to another's. Have this currently:

     undefined
        
    alias: Sync cabinet lights with sink light
    if:
      - condition: device
        type: is_on
        device_id: [something]5710
        entity_id: [something]a438
        domain: light
    then:
      - type: turn_on
        device_id: [something]b447
        entity_id: [something]470f
        domain: light
        brightness_pct: 100
    else:
      - type: turn_off
        device_id: [something]b447
        entity_id: [something]470f
        domain: light
    
      

    That works fine to turn the lights on or off, and I have triggers in the automation for that and changes in brightness. But using a non-static number for brightness_pct (yes, I know I'll probably have to math the 0-1

    I borrowed a bunch of tables from friends for a garage sale last weekend, and gave them back yesterday.

    My, how the tables have returned!

    My daughter just took a full bottle - her second in a row. Then she fell asleep in my arms. Feels good .

    Year and a half old. It may feel silly, but she's always been in the single-digit percentile, usually low-single-digits at that. She was born about 3 months premature, and after her weight gain stalling, they prescribed a medication with a side effect of increased appetite to give things a jump start. I think it's going to work 🙂

    Anybody in this community? Why do onion cutting instructions say to make cuts horizontally?

    So many instructions to cut an onion are essentially

    1. Cut off the top
    2. Peel
    3. Cut in half
    4. Cut horizontally (in parallel to the cut you just made)
    5. Cut vertically into strips from just shy of the bottom to top, with the bottom holding things together
    6. Cut vertically perpendicular to your last cuts to get little squares

    On something like a potato, I'd understand it. You'll be cutting a 3-dimensional object along all 3 axes to get cubes. But as Shrek taught me, onions have layers. Why make that first set of horizontal cuts when the onion's natural layers do the same thing already, albeit a little bit curved?

    Viewing logs after HA goes down?

    Running on a Raspberry Pi 400

    Lately my home has been dumb and unassisted at random times, and the HA app can't connect to my HA rpi server. Ditto when I go to homeassistant:8123 in a browser. I'm trying to see what's causing this, but the logs in app only show since last restart. Tried plugging my Pi into a monitor and getting something from the command line but not sure how to do the equivalent of a Linux tail or whatever. Searching was surprisingly unhelpful. Any advice?

    Thanks much!

    Why do so many Lemmy instances use weird TLDs?

    I get that some instances use the domain + TLD to make a word, like lemm.ee or to an extent, sh.itjust.works. But I've seen so many TLDs I had no idea existed, like .world, .zone, .social, and yes .works as well.

    Is there any real reason for that? Trying to look cool or kinda underground-y? Cheaper and more varied domain options? Something actually kinda functional?

    Interestingly, I started on vlemmy.net because I was a scared Reddit refugee and the .net TLD gave me comfort. Then it vanished a few days later without a trace. So here I am on lemmy.world
