A truly towering achievement.

You know he was playing a character, right? That wasn’t “conservative comedy”, it was just satire.

Man the Kissinger bottle must have aged really well

Out of curiosity, is it something as simple as needing to wrap the template in quotes? I may be mixing up my YAML with the Ansible work I’ve been doing, but I think you need to have templates double quoted like this in order to resolve the jinja2 properly: "{{ state_attr('light.etc', 'brightness') }}

I don’t think you need the quotes in the Templates section of dev tools but you do in YAML files. I could be wrong though, let me know if you try it.

Definitely use the state_attr() form over states.etc.etc form. I think there’s something about how HA handles startup that may mess with templates if you use states.etc.etc .

Press X to doubt

But if the House decides the election, it’s not by Reps, each state makes a vote. And there are more R states than D states, so it will absolutely go to Trump.

The more jobs that are unfilled (a “tighter” job market) means that employers have to raise wages to attract employees. It’s pretty common knowledge in tech that the fastest way to a raise is to switch jobs. More jobs being available is good for workers.

Wow we really should make !murderedbywords a thing…

(Yes, also !communitiesashashtags)

For some reason I read this headline as “NPR chief” and it was legitimately shocking to me that NPR would be run by someone so actively sadistic.

It being the leader of the NRA is much less shocking.

“Free speech” does not mean free from consequences.

I really dislike this phrasing because it does mean freedom from consequences, but only from the government, not private actors like these companies or the general public. The sentiment should really be “free speech does not mean freedom from social backlash” but I know that’s not as catchy…

(Also, yes, free speech does have limits (e.g. hate speech, ‘fighting words’, etc).)

This isn’t the debt ceiling, this is the government funding bills, aka what they are budgeting for departments (that will then eventually require the debt ceiling to be raised because it’s still a deficit)

I don’t think anyone would fault you for saying there are 435 members of the house, especially because that number is also wrong (there are six additional non-voting members).

If she had answered more correctly than the number of voting seats I wouldn’t have a problem with it…

Big man, strong man, tears running down his face…

again. Pardon him again.

The parties aren’t the problem. Macron holds the presidency and appoints the PM. The largest (coalition) party is giving him a candidate AFTER compromises and he’s refusing STILL because he only wants a PM from his own party, who came in second (edit: not third, my bad, they did beat National Rally. They did come in third in the first round of voting though).

Yeah this headline is super misleading

Spoilers are mathematical fact stemming from first past the post voting. I also want to be able to vote for a third party candidate but it goes against my interests to do so until the voting system changes.

The only way a spoiler is a myth if you weren’t going to vote at all.

The Tea Party happened in 2010

If our justice system is supposed to rehabilitate people instead of punish, then it seems like she received the correct sentence.

A lot of people forget about the Hussein but I think it’s important
