That doesn’t seem like the union is unioning properly at all here.

Is there something going on that this article isn’t surfacing, or did UPS just buy the union bosses?

Just found the community.

Looks like it’s pretty slow.

Similar age, but Canadian. Grew up in the church, but took a tour through some evangelical circles in university. Really forced me to learn the faith.

Welcome brother.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful reply. I’ll do some reading on those.

If your willing to home brew a solution, check out the esphome project. It’s very easy to implement and runs on very inexpensive esp32 boards.

I’ve got something similar, but less ambitious running at my place (temp only). It’s been solid for about 6 months now.

I haven’t had the heart to delete it yet, but I’m also pretty much done with Reddit.

Love the narrator in Bastion. One of my all time favorite soundtracks too!
