"Where the bats pet you back!"

Yeah, the bar for should I buy this game is higher when you'll be giving up sleep and/or rent money if you want to play it.

That being the case, truly excellent games can still clear that bar; ToTK easily siphoned a few cumulative months out of me, despite, well...gestures vaguely at everything.

I still have no desire to do the final boss fight at the end, though.

This was before Walmart bought them

Walmart didn't buy Kobo, although they did/do own a small share of Rakuten, Kobo's parent company.

In 2018, in an attempt to keep up with Amazon, Walmart partnered with Kobo to sell ebooks and Kobo devices in Walmart stores and online, and I believe that devices purchased from Walmart had the Walmart logo when they booted up, and I think the Kobo site in the US also had Walmart branding, but Kobo was then and is now a Canadian company fully owned by a Japanese company.

Microplastics: Hold my micro brew

More progressive, close the loopholes, fund the IRS properly so they are actually able to prosecute tax cheats (usually wealthy), set a cap on tax money that can go to the military and outlaw any tax cuts that primarily benefit the top 3 tiers within 3 years of an election.

It's not very complicated, in my opinion. LMS can be installed inside HA as an add-on. I also have a separate music server (Navidrome) but I just pointed LMS to the same directory that Navidrome uses, and boom, control of all my music through HA.

The only caveat that I can think of is that your HA install needs to be able to see your music directory. In my case, I run HAOS in a Proxmox VM, so I just installed the Samba Share add-on.

We have found Patient X

You're more likely to solve the problem by yelling into a pillow

You mean the Casper Original Pillow I'm buying with Klarna for 4 easy payments of $39.95 at 29.99% interest?

I hear they're partnering with Amazon on a new version that has a tiny Alexa speaker in it that will whisper ads in your ear while you're sleeping unless you pay them $15 to turn it off. It's called the Casper Pillow Talk with Special Offers.

Yelling: ALEXA! HOW CAN I GET CONSUMER PROTECTION IN THE UNITED STATES?

Casper Pillow Talk with Special Offers: I'm sorry, I don't understand. By the way, did you know that Amazon Pharmacy is now selling antidepressants at a discounted price? To order, just say "Add Xanax to my next drone delivery". To receive the discount, say "I waive my right to sue Amazon via the justice system and agree to private corporate arbitration until the end of time!"

The "escape hatch" is to stop being insufferable pricks

For federal work, it's all about the duty station. For telework, the duty station is a federal building.

For remote work, the duty station is your home.

I prefer to purchase mine from HILETGO-GLARKSRIB on Amazon.
