Tuesday 9/10 Presidential Debate Megathread!
  • Thank you for transcribing that! My wife and I burst out laughing when he said that.

  • Mimics
  • What if the dm words it like: "you appear to be in a privy. You notice a hole in the wall."?

    I've already put more thought into this than I'm comfortable with.

  • Whiny Trump thinks it’s “unfair” he has to run against Kamala
  • To be fair, when has a president ever had to deal with an unexpected change of events?

    (/s to be safe)

  • Trump says he will hold a news conference at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday.
  • I'm calling my shot: by the end of September, he drops the hard R in public.

  • Biden says he's "not confident at all" there will be a peaceful transfer of power if Trump loses
  • We all know Trump won't accept the results. He didn't in 2020, and in 2016 he claimed it was still rigged against him even when he won.

    It's really weird when you think about it.

  • Is the Great Resignation 2.0 coming? Nearly 3 in 10 workers plan to quit this year
  • All your boss told you was that if they could, they would pay you less.

    All hard work gets you is more work.

  • Harris campaign says it raised $310 million in July, doubling Trump’s haul
  • I donated $100 and will probably donate more.

    I feel like this is our last attempt at a do over of 2016. I was swindled by Russian propaganda and bought into the "protest by voting third party," and while my vote didn't change anything (New Yorker), a lot of others were also duped in swing states and counties.

  • Does JD Vance wear eyeliner or mascara?
  • Would you rather he not doll himself up for a date with your couch?

  • Weekend
  • To be fair, that's a lot of xp they just gained.

  • Elon Musk takes fire for posting fake video of Kamala Harris
  • Nothing short of hard financial and/or legal ramifications will stifle this kind of election interference. If it's not stopped now, it will take root and fester.

  • JD Vance Doubles Down on Attack on 'Childless Cat Ladies'.
  • This chucklefuck wants to give me more voting power for creampieing (creamping?) my wife? Sure, I'll vote even harder against this idiot.

  • Not Afraid of Sharks? Well, Now They’re on Cocaine.
  • The sequel to Cocaine Bear is going to be lit.

  • Rep Tlaib says Netanyahu's address is a celebration of ethnic cleansing
  • "It is hypocritical to claim to be concerned about the massive death toll of innocent civilians, and then turn around and welcome the person responsible for these war crimes to our Capitol," Tlaib said.

    Couldn't have worded it better myself. Netanyahu slaughters 40,000 people, 2/3 of them women and children, and he gets to stand in front of some of the most powerful people in the world and celebrate?

  • US Secret Service chief admits to failure, will not resign.
  • Oh they've tried. Go on r/conservative and they were trying to claim this was a dei issue.

  • Elon Musk Accused of Election Interference by Blocking Kamala Harris Followers on X
  • If you're looking for battery backup, I've been eyeing generac for a while. I can't attest to their quality as I've yet to pull the trigger though.

    They seem to work well with solar for offsetting usage at night.

  • Signs of two gases in clouds of Venus could indicate life, scientists say
  • You bring up a good point. There's strong arguments to be made that Venus has been "contaminated" by the Soviet probes. That's why NASA is being so careful with the Europa Clipper.

    If there is life in the clouds of Venus, it will be hard to verify if it's natural, or from Earth.

  • Missouri Democrat defends trans grandchild against GOP secretary of state candidate’s attack
  • This shit coming from the party that would freak out if you mentioned Baron in any way, positive, negative or even neutral, is fucking rich.

  • Presence Detection for a Child with no Phone.

    Next school year, my son will be left home after school for a few hours while my wife and I are at work. I'm looking for a way to detect when he's home and have the front door unlock (among other automation scripts that are in place).

    I came across this post and was going to get the Tile Pro as it seemed to check off all my requirements:

    • I could put it in his backpack where it can be forgotten.
    • long battery life.
    • Through the Home Assistant integration, it can trigger when it gets in range.
    • It also has a few other beneficial things, so I was thinking of putting one on each of our bicycles in case they're ever stolen. Hell, I could look into putting one on my cat's collar in case she ever gets out.

    Then I came across some concerning articles regarding data harvesting. The whole reason I started self-hosting was to prevent data harvesting, so it seems like the Tile is a non-starter for me.

    Has anyone been in this (or a similar) situation? Mainly, I'm looking for a device I can put in my son's backpack that can trigger when he's within range, so the house will open for him. BLE seems like it might be a solution, though I run my server on an old Dell r720 enterprise server in my basement, so I don't currently have Bluetooth functionality (and it's pretty far away from the front door, 20+ feet), though getting that is not a dealbreaker for me.

    • Addendum: To people saying just get a key: we have a key for him. I have a monolith sized server in my basement that automates most everything in my house these days, and was curious if anyone had set up something similar to what I was thinking. Home automation is very much a hobby, and I'm using it to learn new things.
