Yup. Go to high elevations, and until you acclimate you’ll feel a little off. Go to low elevations, and for the equal but opposite reasons you can run a marathon and outdrink anyone.

Get yer gay mom

Arguably it’s not wet if it’s cold enough

What would stop a human from creating an account, then having a bot run it?

It’s funny, because usually when the fries aren’t included at a sit-down place it’s because the restaurant is trying to squeeze a couple extra dollars out of you (maybe the sandwich is $2 cheaper than you’d expect but then you pay $5 for the fries because of course you want fries!). That stinginess mentality seems to go hand in hand with a smaller than average sandwich. But maybe my fat American ass can’t scale portion sizes.

So simple I can have my father-in-law do it. And support him over the phone from a few states away. Simple.

That does seem like a pretty good unit for the money as well. I’m just not sure my receiver has been good enough to stick to the brand, but I guess I’m not sure it isn’t, either. One worthless advantage is that my speakers are Onkyo, so at least they’d match!

My friend is an ESL teacher. I sent this to her and said it’s probably the most cruel thing she can post in her classroom

I think the natural peanut butter - the kind that separates easily, could be better described as “gritty”. Jif is not that, though.

I only had one job that used C#, and it was the worst job I ever had. Even with the worst possible way to be introduced to the language, I still love it.

I’ve always emphasized that gasoline comes from oil. Electricity comes from oil. Or solar. Or nuclear. Or wind. Or hydro. Or hamsters running on wheels. Lots of sources to choose from!

Oh no, I wasn’t trying to disprove your point at all! Just showing how extreme the situation needs to be to justify a suit. From what I remember most of the guests didn’t wear a suit either, but I can totally see it being a thing on the east coast.

Also Colorado. Granted, covid didn’t give me much opportunity here but I wore a suit this summer for the first time in about 5 years. It was a wedding and I was the officiant 🙃

Assuming not-Montana US, you can be fired for any reason other than membership in a protected class (race, religion, etc). Attending an ice cream social, even a company one, is not a protected class.

That, plus a couple other things I saw in different places, ended up doing exactly what I wanted! I posted my final solution above. Thanks for finding a piece to the puzzle!

That just might work! It’s definitely an easy way to control both at the same time. I just need to figure out a way to change the group’s dimness when the dimness on one light’s physical switch (a Kasa, unlike the Zigbee one next to it). Maybe an automation for that, targeting the group instead of a single device

Taking a different approach of starting simple and working up,

100.0 works

{{100.0}} does not work

“{{100.0}}” also does not work

Combining this with similar comments, plus adding in the math to convert to a percent, I tried this:

brightness_pct: "{{state_attr('light.kitchen_sink_ceiling', 'brightness') | float(0) /255*100}}"

Still getting the same message

Message malformed: expected float for dictionary value @ data['brightness_pct']

For what it’s worth, if I try to set brightness instead of brightness_pct, I get a different message

Message malformed: extra keys not allowed @ data['brightness']

(I’m assuming that device just doesn’t accept a brightness attribute - not a big deal to math it out though)

Do you happen to remember the name of that documentary? I saw the Vice specials from a really long time ago, but they seem to have gone through a much more controlled experience that wouldn’t see what you describe. Heck, I think what I saw predates smartphones taking over the world.

Hmmm. Do pineapple and anchovies go together?
