Taskwarrior, tried lots and lots of ones but always come back to Taskwarrior. It just works the way my brain does, and has tons of features that I actually use because they are intuitive and easy to remember how to.

RCV was also on the ballot in Colorado, but for some reason they bundled it with a “jungle primary” for governor and a bunch of other seats, where the four choices on the ballot for governor in the general election would be the top four from the ranked choice primaries, regardless of party (so you could end up with four options from the same party in theory). The latter addition was pretty unpopular with both parties, who put out tons of messaging against it and especially conflated it with RCV. It got voted down with a significant margin.

I’m not opposed to either measure, but I’m really struggling to understand why they rolled the two together into one ballot initiative instead of separating it. Alas, I’m just a lowly voter not privy to such advanced political reasoning. Fortunately most of Colorado’s other ballot initiatives went well, at least according to my preferences.

There is no truly all-in-one Home Assistant device off the shelf, but the HA devs have two reference kits that are mostly ready-to-go: Home Assistant Yellow and Green. There’s not a ton of difference between them at a high level, other than that Yellow includes a Zigbee radio onboard while Green does not. You can easily add other radios via USB dongles for Zwave (and/or Zigbee in the case of the Green) as needed. Both the Green and Yellow are supported directly by the Home Assistant devs and have lots of documentation. Home Assistant itself can easily replace SmartThings in terms of functionality, and in fact greatly exceeds it. Most of the headache is just gonna be migrating your stuff from ST to HA and the associated learning curve, which there is unfortunately just not an easy way to do AFAIK other than manually porting everything from ST->HA.

If you want a standalone hub with its own ecosystem most similar to SmartThings that you can later also integrate with Home Assistant, maybe the Xiaomi hub is the best option. However, it’s Zigbee only and mostly only works with their devices. You’d be better off just moving everything to Home Assistant up front IMO.

I’m willing to believe someone could have voted for Trump the first time in good faith. Voting for him again after seeing the shitshow of his first term, however…
