Not sure how this sign was damaged (sun exposure?) but it gives strong "we'll get that stubborn spot out in exchange for your eternal soul" vibes.
Been falling down the Home Assistant rabbit hole. Most devices I have just work, which is amazing! A few required some annoying setup, but afterwards were fine. And exactly one device apparently has been fighting the HA community tooth and nail for years insisting that you can *only* use their app.

Okay, so Wicked (Part 1) was pretty great. It still bugs me the way they've advertised it when it's only half the story, but it's very well done! My only gripe is that they needed to stop interrupting "Defying Gravity" for more action bits and just let the ladies sing!
