Jennings was already in the back of a patrol car by the time Roberson, the white woman who called police, emerged. Jennings, she told officers, was a neighbor and a friend of the home’s owner, Roy Milam.

“OK. Does he have permission here to be watering flowers?” Smith asked.

“He may, because they are friends,” she replied. “They went out of town today. He may be watering their flowers. It would be completely normal.”

Milam told the AP that was exactly what happened: He’d asked Jennings to water his wife’s flowers while they were camping in the Tennessee mountains for a few days.

Watering flowers wasn’t the problem, Smith told Roberson. The issue, he said, was Jennings’ refusal to provide identification after acting “suspicious.”

Realizing that she’d called police because one neighbor was watering another’s flowers, Roberson said: “This is probably my fault.”

A few moments later, officers told Roberson that a license plate check showed the gold sport utility vehicle that prompted her call in the first place belonged to Milam. They got Jennings out of the patrol car and he told them his first and last name.

“I didn’t know it was him,” Roberson told police. “I’m sorry about that.”

Nope, racist neighbors and racist cops

Whatever floats your boat…

Finding a thing that worked for you is great, but that does not make you an expert in that thing or qualified to give advice to other people about it.

Yes he sent a damn signed contract.

Because people need stable incomes and healthcare, so they start applying for jobs and get them. People aren’t quitting to be unemployed.

0.35% is a little high for an expense ratio, especially for a product that has basically followed the S&P500 for the last 10 years. I’m no expert, but there are lower fee etfs from Vanguard that perform basically the same.

You have way too high a percent of your portfolio in individual stocks. Focus on low fee etfs, ideally ones that track whole or at least broad market segments.

Their current app uses a cross platform framework that allowed them to write their app once and then publish to both iOS and Android. That system is no longer well supported and was causing them issues implementing passkeys on mobile. They’ve been working on rewriting the app individually for each platform using the platform’s specific language. That’s generally Java on Android and Swift on iOS. It’s more work, but ideally the apps should be more responsive, better follow each platforms style guidelines, and have access to all features on the platform.

I have the exact same setup. It works perfectly and integrates really well into home assistant if that’s your thing. Getting a coral TPU also makes object detection really easy even on low power hardware.

But also mate which is hot, caffeinated, leaf juice, is a-ok and totally not tea.

It’s a campground chain in the US.

I tried for a while fighting in my local facebook groups, but it just served to make me mad and didn’t put a dent in the constant barrage of nonsense. I started blocking them all and finally just stopped using facebook entirely.

It’s sad since those are really the only online groups for my town. I just have no interest in engaging in the local community now.

It does mean significant operational downtime: https://www.technology.org/2023/01/02/did-you-know-f-16-fighting-falcon-needs-17-hours-of-maintenance-for-every-hour-of-flight/

The helicopter example sounds like it would make for a great What If?. There’s so many good things in there I want answered.

Doing good work takes time to make money, execs need those quarterly bonuses right now. Much easier to do a bunch of layoffs and get that line up now.

The prime minister went to the scene to talk to reporters, they certainly seem to consider it a big deal.

Roku, android TV, samsung, webOS, and a bunch of other random smart tv platforms all have plex apps. For direct hdmi I assume most people run a media center like kodi (xbmc).

Nope, both go directly from your PC to your tv. Plex does a log-in thing to their servers but that’s just an account. Jellyfin is 100% local.

For a PC and a roku on the same network I would highly recommend Plex or Jellyfin. You store the video on your pc and stream it over to the tv over the network. They’re both free, Plex is closed source and has some paid features if you want that, Jellyfin is totally open source.

I’ve been using Plex in this setup for a lot of years and its been rock solid.

Subatomic particles act in insane ways that are absolutely not mechanical or predictible. A very limited size of object behaves “normally”. I think believing that the universe mostly acts like our everyday objects is the skewed perspective.
