Just curious what clues you see that it's AI text?

I ran it through two different detectors and one said 100%, and the other said 0%.

Was the softener bypassed during this time, or was there a regular supply of water flowing through it?

I re-activated a "stagnant" softener about 4 years ago immediately started failing well water tests due to coliform bacteria. Eventually I figured out it was the softener and not the well. It has since been replaced.

That one had been bypassed for who knows how long, which is worse than keeping water running through the beads and simply not adding salt.

For the brine tank (pictured in your post) let the salt run out on purpose and bring it outside and rinse it out once a year.

Brine water is very sterile. Stuff can't grow in it.

Wow, that's a pretty wild story.

Obviously it was wrong of her to deceive people, but at least she was helping people.

That's helpful for understanding the purpose of the device.

I'm still having trouble imagining how it works. Oh well.

I don't browse all, either. I'm just pointing out that it's a valid question. It's a new feature and nobody has much time to explore the inner workings. PieFed is made by people, and people often have different opinions on what software should do.

Cool update!

Looking forward to applying it later today.

"All" in PieFed (and Lemmy) speak means "all stuff that this server sees", which means "all stuff that at least one user on this server has subscribed to. So it's a valid question, I think.

Does a followed account show up in all? And do they show up in All for all users, or just for users who follow that person?

I'd like to see how this affects Flock and other LPR camera systems that track everyone who drives, rides, or walks by.

Do LPR cameras like Flock next.

After we got the ticket in the mail I did some brief research on what a divided highway is, but non-residential didn't pop up in any of the reading I did. Granted, I just got an answer and moved on, but maybe there are different definitions in each state. It seems like something that should be the same in every state, though.

NY. If the law was designed around rural areas, I would assume those areas would either have interstate highways with no houses on them, or two lane, non-divided highways with houses so you'd have to stop for a school bus in that case.

Divided highway can also be a little vague. In this case, the division is just a raised median. Not one of those angled concrete walls designed to lift cars and turn them back into their lane. Still, by definition it's divided.

The place where my wife got tagged doesn't require kids to cross the highway. The bus stops in front of their house, and there are no houses on the other side of the highway. Even if kids did have to cross a 4 lane road, they'd do it before the bus arrives, right? I'm not sure.

I don't know the logic they used when making it different than most other states. I think PA is similar, but I remember there being a small difference which made it a little more logical.

To be fair, people should definitely get fines for passing school buses. I'm more mad at the state for being different than the rest of the country and including divided highways in their school bus law.
