That’s exactly what the shopkeepers privilege is, an immunity to false arrest claims when they have suspicion you’ve stolen something.

The two cases I found, the judges decided that refusing to show the receipt was enough to provide that suspicion

The customer sued the store civilly for false arrest after security held them.

If you called a cop they would say, “it’s a civil issue” because cops don’t do shit when businesses do crime to consumers.

I was at BJ’s wholesale, where they always check every receipt. Usually it’s just a cursory glance, but one day they had some cop wannabe checking off every item on the receipt, causing a huge backup. I pushed my cart past the line and left. The guy chased me out into the parking lot, took my plate number and told me he was calling the cops. Nothing came of it, but it embarrassed the shit out of my partner.

I went home and did a bunch of research. From what I found, there aren’t a lot of cases that addressed the issue, but I found a two civil cases where people were physically detained after refusing to show their receipt. They sued for false arrest and their cases were both dismissed. I’m not a lawyer and there may be newer case law on this.

I hate the checks, but it isn’t worth it to me to risk dealing with cops when I’m not getting anything from it and making someone else’s job harder.

Checking receipts when you leave a store. They have cameras everywhere and they can access my receipt through their computer system. I already paid, this is my stuff, they shouldn’t be able to detain me without suspicion I stole something.

I don’t raise a stink with the poor person checking receipts, though, because I am not an asshole.

It appears to be a browser plugin that bypasses those countdowns that paying link shorteners use to force you to look at ads. Sites like adf.ly

For my Honda Accord you needed to buy a dealer installed addon(called home link IIRC) to get the garage door buttons.

Home Assistant works pretty well with Android Auto. If I had a garage door I’d connect it to HA with esphome and access it that way.

Most of the tubs I’ve had in america are too small for me to actually use. Both too shallow and too short. Half my body would be out of the water.

My last bath was also around 10 years ago in a hotel that had a nice deep tub.

The best part is how the OP never admits being wrong and still gets it wrong in the last post before closing the thread

I’m using amcrest cameras with frigate. They work offline, but their doorbell cameras are wireless only, IIRC.

Frigate records and does object detection, so you can get notifications(with photos in the notification) only when there is a certain object in a certain area(like only people in one area, cars and people in another, cats in a third area).

It’s a cheap setup if you already have a server running 24/7. It takes quite a bit of setup, but has been trouble free since.

I don’t have AC and haven’t really needed it this year. I’m way north in New Hampshire.

We keep the heat at 63-65f(about 17c) in the winter, but occasionally go up to 67 when it’s warmer out and the furnace doesn’t have to work as hard to keep it there.

Dime Store Adventures makes videos about discovering and researching minor historical events.

One of my favorites is when he heard a local legend about the reason one gravestone in a small cemetery is much larger than all the rest. The legend was that the man hated his family so much that he decided to exhaust his estate with the most expensive gravestone possible. He shows how he figures out whether it was true by reading old newspapers and visiting historical societies.

Did you not see how that turned from a really inconsequential disagreement to something emotional and personal almost immediately?

Sure, no single post was particularly toxic on its own. It’s the holy war tenor of discussions on Phoronix that all but guarantees that every discussion ends up as a flame war.

That’s hilarious.

“Mozilla hates freedom!!!”

Yes.

Also xManager, a similar tool for Spotify. I’d use revanced for YTmusic, but most people seem to use Spotify and it’s nice to be able to share playlists with friends.
