Then how about a synopsis?

If I know what the contents of the video are going be, then I know if it's worth watching for some new insight; or if it's something I've heard/read about already.

And what do you think is causing the dumbass behaviours?

School drop offs increase danger to children.

A joint study released by York University, The Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Toronto cites dangerous drop-offs on the opposite side of the road, cars stopped blocking traffic and double parking as cause for concern regarding the rise in collisions

We observed that in 88 per cent of the schools that we went to look at and with each additional behaviour it put kids at a 45 per cent increased risk of having a pedestrian collision

Of course the best mitigation measure:

If you can, walk your kids to school. Let your kids walk to school. The more kids walk, the fewer cars, the less chance of one of them being hit by those cars

The picture shows ISBN 9781784708276

I search this to get the title: "Entangled Life - How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds and Shape Our Futures"

I see £, so I'm going to assume it's the UK. I picked Manchester as a city to search.

I search the book.

Seven 2021 versions, three 2020 versions, and audio book are available.

My home assistant is on an old laptop, so obviously it's names HAL 9000.

Nouveau_Burnswick , 2 months ago to Mildly Infuriating in Yes, you cannot, so to do it do like this

Facebook is a community where people use their authentic identities. It's against the Facebook Community Standards to maintain more than one personal account.

So yes, you CAN, but it's against their community standards.

Once you prize your son off helldivers, you should play helldivers.

In all seriousness, homarr now has some fledgling home assistant integration, and I saw a really slick showcase in the discord where someone was using home assistant pages in iframes (mobile view) within a overall homarr page (desktop view).
