I know this from personal experience after reading the entirety of the Left Behind book series as they were published. At the start I was spending my summers in the equivalent of that Jesus Camp documentary, and by the time I finished was at the end of my personal deconversion journey and come out the other side as an opinionated college atheist.
So, yeah, quite terrifying to see that kink for the apocalypse continue to play out in front of us.
Hamas is not all Palestinians.
Source? Was it actually a BBC reporter or someone they were interviewing?
Good question, should ask Israel the same thing.
Blowback like this is the hidden story of the modern age. Every world and regional power has attempted it and been burned, multiple times over.
Heck, one could argue it’s exactly what happened in 1776, and the trend has never stopped!
If someone is born in Gaza and wants to leave, you think they should be denied simply because of where they come from?
Not sure if you know this, but every single Palestinian is actually not an active member in Hamas.
They are also an oppressed people with no other options.
This is standard policy for Israel, the same entity that pretends giving people a ‘warning’ before blowing up their home is a good enough excuse.
But of course I wouldn’t do that, but they don’t know o they are thinking I will.
Because of the implications.
Is this based on actual statistics of any kind, or just your ass?
You’re just doing the same thing in the opposite direction. Calling his take “fictional” is making a claim, not ‘just asking questions’.
In my experience, almost all stability problems I’ve had with Home Assistant are either due to the devices (not HA or the hardware I’m running it on, individual lights and switches, etc) or dead batteries in same.
What protocols are you using for your devices? Zigbee, Zwave, Wifi, something else?
It’s not fair that they have degrees that don’t count for anything here.
Fair to whom? Are those degrees from institutions that are regarded as credible by the local country? If not, what evidence is there that the lack of value given to certain foreign degrees is improper or otherwise not based in reality?
I don’t use it, but my impression is that people who prefer MQTT either have a lot of other devices already working that way, or use additional programs like Node Red to handle some of what HA can also do which require MQTT.
The first part is very understandable, as that’s pretty much why all of us likely end up with a favorite protocol! I didn’t really plan to be mostly using Zigbee and Hue devices, but now that it’s the case I am going to keep going in that direction even more.
If you already have a Hue hub, you can integrate with that from HA without new hardware or a direct connection. That is what I do for some of my Hue bulbs, but I do also have a Zigbee radio plugged into my Home Assistant Blue hardware as I have non-Hue Zigbee devices, too.
My experience is that Hue devices are the most reliable of everything I have in terms of both response time and connection. Zigbee devices vary a lot in quality, but my biggest issue are some switches that occasionally (but repeatedly) have to be re-paired, but generally as long as HA recognizes the device the reaction time and reliability of Zigbee is pretty solid.
The past happened, we can’t ignore it. Acknowledging that injustices happened in the past and we have the ability to do something now to try and reverse that is not “living in the past”.
Or help with fighting the climate change? Or helping developing nations to get to our level?
Arguably, both of these are exactly what we mean by “reparations”.
Any official acknowledgment of the rising threat from ring-wing domestic terrorism is good. The first step to solving a problem is identification!
Longer than the warning they gave for the API changes!
Saying that ultimately the metric system is based on something arbitrary isn’t an attack on the system or a reason not to use it.
By what metric is the US “the world’s leader”?
