Fuck me, you're one to talk, a shameless EU shill, with their proud tradition of declaring elections void if they don't like results, and repeating them, like Romania most recently. I fact, this being the original, foundational sin with the Lisbon Treaty referendums in Ireland.

Why do the Islamists have so much trouble assimilating?

What makes you think that they want to assimilate? From how they act, many of them want to take over the countries they move to and impose Sharia Law on them.

Nobody's celebrating other than your friends the Ayatollahs. They're putting the blame where it belongs: on the regime. What you're doing is, as usual, rewarding and incentivizing war crimes. Also the Shah used his constitutional powers against Mossadegh, who was the one committing a coup d'etat, and he was ousted by an alliance of islamists and leftists. After taking power the islamists slaughtered the leftists. Same pattern currently happening in Europe, the UK, and the US right now.

Tablets are very easy to steal and the Pro ones are rather expensive. They start at $1500.

In fact Apple doesn't make anything that's hard to steal since they dropped the Mac Pro.

I have some X-10 controllers about the place. That's about it. The heat pump has its own programmable timer controller.

Also Trump is wrecking the economy and nobody wants to acknowledge that

Because it just is not true. Median household incomes in the US are just steadily rising (inflation-adjusted) since he took office in 2024.

They're using you as training data and don't want it learning to be an asshole instead of a sycophant.

If these were highly remote locations and getting a human to them in time to fix a problem was going to be a challenge, then maybe remote controllability would be important. But this is a damn supermarket; there's going to be somewhere there or nearby constantly. Dear Lord.

There's no reason that there can't be a thermometer and controls built in, and only accessible from the back. Add on a clipboard with pages printed with lines for date, time, temperature, initials and you have a way to keep track of the temperature without outside access. Add on controls to adjust things and you've got everything you need.

You mean the one where there was an active military radar installation on top of a building on a military base and the families in Iran blamed the regime for deliberately using human shields? The same regime that killed around a hundred thousand little girls and their families in January?

You don't care about little girls in Iran. If you did you'd want the regime that kids thousands upon thousands of them just for asking for basic human rights gone as soon as possible. Instead you shill for it at every opportunity.

...which neeeever eeeeever happens to humans, no sir! absolutely not!

The AI fanboys still seem to be buying, money is no object.

I did some price checking a couple weeks ago and you can still assemble a non-AI capable AM4 system mini ATX system for about $800. I did not include the video card in that list as I'm not a gamer, AMD's APU integrated graphics are good enough for me. I currently use a 4600G.

"original use was meant for supporting a small diesel heater and a fan that would burn some of your car's fuel for preventing the car from freezing over"
What?
The electric charge was most commonly used to power a heating element that warmed the block and on diesels provided some warming to the fuel. I understand that some systems had blower fans but this was to prewarm the cabin& keep with windows clear.

I remember an episode of NCIS where McGee used a paint gun to cover the lenses of some surveillance cameras so that DiNozo could get into a junk yard and retrieve some evidence they needed.

He was desperately hoping you'd blurt something racist, so his private ideology would get that little frisson of validation.

Hey @Epeeist if the Guardian has to plaintively insist "it's perfectly safe!" that's practically proof it isn't.

Overwatering will get weight up and they are paid by weight. But that will dilute the nutrients.

On the other hand prolonged farming may just run out the trace minerals which has both direct effects (if the soil is short of copper then so will be the plants) and indirect effects on the nutrition, what ever the plant was making with the copper won't be made in adequate quantity.
