    Notice to libs and lefties: Next Tuesday is Cesar Chavez Day. Get out there and celebrate your hero and role model.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I'm not defending this at all. It's unfortunately normal practice for both parties to take hostages for political leverage. Nothing new here with Trump. If I had my way, every bill would be required to be for a single thing, no more bundling things the people don't want with what they need...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I've been making the assumption that undated things that get posted are current events. Wrong again.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Shouldn't a post like this say at least when the vote was and exactly what was voted on? Otherwise there's no way to know if there's something to it, or just more of the crap that spews from political organizations. The latest vote on this that I can find in a search engine was 8 months ago...

    Camo vinyl wrap / tape?

    I wrapped mine in camo tape a couple of times. The camera is in the sun much of the day and the camo tape kept falling apart after a year or so. I finally gave in and just painted it. Perhaps there's better quality camo tape than what I used.

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    Is there a second Valero fire? This post says it's currently ablaze on 3/25, AP says it was put out on 3/24. " An oil refinery fire near the Texas coast was put out Tuesday ...." Fire out and shelter-in-place order is lifted after oil refinery explosion near Texas coast Additionally the post...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    "Here’s a reminder that Republicans control all 3 branches of the government, and that the GOP has blocked bills Democrats have introduced to fund TSA and end the shutdown TEN TIMES." The simpleton who wrote this doesn't know that it takes 60 seats to control the senate and the republicans...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    I can't answer because I use external IR.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Put me on the list with him. I'm against vote by mail, but I do it. I'm against credit card kickbacks, but I use them. If something isn't morally wrong, why should you punish yourself because you think it's a bad system that you'd like to change?

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    I've thought that the lousy IVS detection in the IL was because of firmware. I've got no complaints with the IL's visible image. Haven't seen one case where the S3 beats it, many cases where it beats the S3.

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    IL uses the same firmware as the PRO.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Without getting into the debate of whether or not the planes caused the twin towers to come down, this is such a brainless comparison. The impact speed was at least 3x greater in the twin towers case. The twin towers aircraft had at least 5x more mass. The combination of mass and velocity...

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    I won't accept that as a truth. Two examples: Daily Beast and Huff Post. I dismiss anything they write as BS crap without wasting my time to read it.

    The official "WTF" thread

    When I lived in Texas in a previous century I thought at least one part of the inspections was a scam. Every second year my headlights were aimed too high, and on the other years they were aimed too low. Now I think the newer blinding headlights are a serious problem and wish there was some...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    My oncologist says this is bunk. Maybe he's right, maybe he's not. He has done a lot to keep me alive the past couple of years.

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    "Meanwhile, the LNG tanker'Yakov Gakkel', has arrived in Montoir France, carrying gas from Russia......." Does this mean that the French are committed to opposing Russia against Ukraine, unless their comfort or livelihood is at stake, in which case it's ok to support Russia?

    Best practice for I Frames setting based on FPS

    Do any of us here have a clue how the internals of IVS work?

    The Birth, Life, and Death.... of Radio Shack.

    I'll agree that the video is good, but also think it's misleading about Radio Shack's fall. Maybe there was bad management, but even without that factor, the business model was doomed to fail because of the evolution of electronics. The electronic components were for either building something...

    SmartPSS Lite causing hangs or crashes on windows pc running 24/7

    I'm doing well with BI. It's hard to make a good apples-to-apples comparison with the NVR because there are so many differences. With the NVR+smartPSS the IVS trip lines are shown on the camera image in blue, then when tripped they momentarily turn red. This feature is totally lost when using...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    It wouldn't if I were in charge. Why even bother wondering what the future wacko leaders will do? Roll dice, throw darts, just as accurate as actually trying to make an informed or logical prediction.

    Money & Economics

    Sounds like we didn't hear the same thing. I heard comments about the oil price shock affecting future inflation numbers, but for the current inflation situation the only specific cause I heard was tariffs. As far as the adult delivery goes, I agree. In the past I believed all of Donald...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    Here's an example of liberal politicians blowing in the wind. In 2009 Portland OR renamed 39th Av. to Cesar Chavez Boulevard, despite almost 8-to-1 opposition by the residents of the street. Part of that makes sense because liberal politicians don't care about the people who elect them. So...

    Money & Economics

    I call baloney on this. Only tariffs are responsible for the inflation? Not the deficit spending? Not the Ukraine war? Not the Iran war? Not the covid era excesses that are still rippling through?

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    That's kind of the crux of the problem with all of the crap social media posts being propagated. It's fast and easy for somebody to write fiction, then can take hours or more for someone to disprove it. Most or all of us have seen the videos of claimed protests about something, or bomb damage...

    It's situations like this that led me to stop using logic to predict anything and look like a fool in the end.

    SmartPSS Lite causing hangs or crashes on windows pc running 24/7

    Until about 2 years ago when I switched to BI for viewing, I ran smartPSS continuously until it crashed. The computer was on all day and hibernated overnight. What I'm calling a crash would sometimes be a popup saying the program malfunctioned, but more often it just silently terminated. One...

    SmartPSS Lite causing hangs or crashes on windows pc running 24/7

    I've used smartPSS and lite on several machines over 8 years. Sometimes smartPSS would crash, especially the older versions, but I've never once associated a windows crash with any of them.

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    A more extreme example of how the aggregators twist things. From Drudge today: What are you supposed to think from this? Drop them on Iran, right? What he really said was: “Instead of fighting over a 21-mile-wide bottleneck forever, we cut a new channel through friendly territory.” “A dozen...

    The official "WTF" thread

    Absolutely agree, but most lock cylinders are easily picked. We use a velcro strip product that winds around the inside latch handle of the deadbolt, so it can't be turned even if the lock is picked. One of our kids has a bar that goes diagonally from the doorknob to the floor, jamming the...

    Sharia, Islam, Muslim .. pay attention to your blind spots

    When I was diagnosed with cancer 2 years ago, the initial prognosis was grim with the probability that I'd be gone in a few months. I was gripped with fear like never before. Friends and family gave great support but what got me through it was Psalm 23. Further testing revealed there's a drug...
