Mine is connected to a smart outlet that is only ever powered on when we are away from the house, and it’s connected locally to my home assistant setup.

Interesting I’m not familiar with how these measurements are taken.

This was the source I was thinking of:

China’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions were unchanged from a year earlier in the third quarter of 2025, extending a flat or falling trend that started in March 2024

As sourced by the Guardian

I was under the impression that they reached peak CO2 emissions and have been flat or falling for the past year or so

The USA isn’t the whole world, but even if it somehow were, there are conservatives who refused to vote for Trump (not enough but they do exist).

Not all conservatives are MAGA.

What do you mean trust? I prefer Anthropic/Claude for most things.

Plus when it is broke it still works a couple times per day.

Irrelevant is too strong a word given the opportunities in VR for training or even therapy… but you have a point.

Which parties call themselves liberal, but are actually neoliberal?

I’m started to become convinced that there is a coordinated effort to misdefine the term liberal among the political left in order to divide us.

I see supposed progressives dedicating significant amounts of time demonizing liberals (when they mean neoliberal), despite the fact that they would mostly agree on policy if that was the topic of conversation.

Enacting progressive taxation, punishing white collar crime, establishing strong environmental protections, establishing a strong social safety net, ensuring high quality universal healthcare, enforcing anti-trust legislation, and enacting electoral finance reforms are all things that liberals support… but instead they are often shouted down by progressives online for being status quo capitalists?

We’re fighting the rise of literal fascists right now, but instead of joining forces we keep arguing about labels among people we agree with.

Aren’t judges appointed in almost all countries outside of the US, Mexico and Switzerland.

Simpsons did it.

Mmmmm… incapacitating

It’s frankly criminal that tips are a mandatory component of food service in Canada/US.

You’re expected to tip a base amount regardless of service quality – as that’s how the pay/hours are structured.(If you don’t tip then you’re effectively stealing from the worker)

The assholes who don’t tip (or under tip) get basically no punishment and are financially rewarded for their shitty behaviour.

All while some servers/bartenders get laughably overpaid. (At least from my perspective as someone who worked many 12 hour shifts as a line cook way back when).

(None of this is to say that tampering with someone’s food is ever okay)

The reporter/publisher also doesn’t get anything

The only way this would be acceptable is if they built a trustless authenticator. Until then they can fuck the hell off.

People also survived before cars and paved roads too… this is important infrastructure being under serviced by our oligopoly of telcos.

Doug Ford broke the glass for Ontario. Was outraged when he did it in 2021, but no one I know actually seemed to give a damn.
