I love using my hue bulbs with f.lux. If you aren’t familiar, f.lux is software that changes the color temperature of your display based on the sun position. They have a feature that matches your bulbs with that as well.
Yeah I think it is just people hating on floridians because bad politics man bad and so the people there supposedly deserve any bad thing that happens?
I normally hold my nose and vote for them, and most recently it has cost me my favorite cigars and pipe tobacco, being able to order vape stuff online, and my 3D printed gun hobby. I’ve been signed up for multiple financial services without my consent (might have to do with being a government worker idk), taking money from my paychecks until I can cancel them since most of the benefits of I’m not even eligible for and already have my own preferred versions of them set up.
I’m forced into a corrupted bottle recycling scam that forces me to store cans and then drive them to a recycling facility and stand in line for hours, instead of just putting them into the recycling can right outside my front door. The system is set up with a perverse incentive to make recycling as hard as they can get away with. I’m gonna get angry if I keep trying to think of more ways they fucked me over, but I’m sure there is more.
Edit: Oh yeah, the requirement for paper bags and having to pay for them even though paper bags are worse for the environment. I have my own reusable bag but when I forget it the paper bags tend to break on me. A rent control law with an absurdly high limit on the raises that both guarentees landlords will raise the price every year AND people will still be priced out of their homes anyway.
At this point you might be able to guess where I live. For all of that I got nothing of meaningful benefit. I really don’t know if I’m going to be able to do it next time.
What’s interesting about this article is what it leaves out. It cites experts who claim this is “diverts scarce resources from more pressing priorities: transit service and quality” yet that was far from the case in one of the cities cited in the introduction....
What happened to @Dandylion’s dad is horrifying, though. That is exactly the kind of stuff that keeps me off public transit as well. “It never happened to me” isn’t really a valid argument.
I was thinking more like that solving the homelessness problem needs to be a part of improving public transit, and cities in general. Nothing made me want a personal vehicle more than being forced to ride public transit. Every day I’d look at the people passing us by in cars and say to myself “One day, that is gonna be me!”
