"Why do you have 999 tattooed on your hand?"

"It's not, you're looking at it upside down"

"Ahhh..."

Nah, I'd bet a sly Italian person slipping something about "the mob/mafia" in conversation with the maga morons would have maga rethinking antagonizing Italians.

Plus, my wife has literal family ties to the mob (she's part Sicilian)

/r/conservative gets a pass on a lot of shit. Admins don't like it when they get called out for it.

OK, and? Do you think I'm holding Biden up like some sort of weird godking? All I'm seeing for a source from you is "trust me bro"

I never said I agreed with what Biden was doing. In fact, I was refuting the claim that Trump would improve the situation, when he has clearly made everything so much worse.

I try to get banned as much as I can there until every IP I use to make accounts is IP banned. Which means entire physical sites can get banned if I try hard enough.

Edit: Got a 7-day ban for saying fascists should be shot and left for dead in the street.

Yeah but Biden supported a genocide in Gaza

And trump has been handling that situation better, somehow?

I saw that. Either they're incredibly dumb, or they're absolutely taking the piss.

It's been going for a while now; I'm honestly surprised it's still up.

Got myself some energy monitoring Zigbee plugs and made an interesting discovery (sh.itjust.works)

I'm in the process of getting my Home Assistant environment up and running, and decided to run a test: it turns out that my gaming PC (custom 5800X3D/7900XTX build) uses more power just sitting idle, than both of my storage freezers combined.

Background: In addition to some other things, I bought two "Eightree" brand Zigbee-compatible plugs to see how they fare. One is monitoring the power usage of both freezers on a power strip (don't worry, it's a heavy duty strip meant for this), and the other is measuring the usage of my entire desktop setup (including monitors and the HA server itself, a Lenovo M710q).

After monitoring these for a couple days, I decided that I will shut off my PC unless I'm actively using it. It's not a server, but it does have WOL capability, so if I absolutely need to get into it remotely, it won't be an issue.

Pretty fascinating stuff, and now my wife is completely on board as well; she wants to put a plug on her iMac to see what it draws, as she uses it to hold her cross-stitch files and other things.
