Neighbor hits my recycling bin
The wind blew over the recycle bin of my neighbor, and I picked it up and put all the scattered debris back in. There was way, way more debris that came out than in this video. Good man. The garbage men in my neighborhood clean up after spills too.- redpoint5

Guy catches package thief, clearly needs more cameras
I keep thinking bait needs to be covered in poison oak oil and left for miscreants to 'discover'. Throw in some lurid photos so they are likely to 'touch themselves'.- redpoint5

bidens incredible transition to electric cars
What did the article say is the electrical consumption of the battery plant? The previous company I worked for was the single biggest consumer of electricity, natural gas, and water (among other things like liquid nitrogen and sulfuric acid) in the city. The monthly power bill alone was $5M... -

Mini-Review - 5442-Z4E-S3 AKA B54IR-Z4E S3 - Replacement to the 5442-Z4E
Agreed. In my case (convicted felon), I'm not allowed to own a firearm. Any confrontation is legally required to be very personal. All that aside, I'm the "minimum necessary force" sort of personality. Even if I were armed, I'd saunter out and play it cool for as long as others keep it cool. -
Mini-Review - 5442-Z4E-S3 AKA B54IR-Z4E S3 - Replacement to the 5442-Z4E
I recently discovered that option. Wanted a part the next morning so I could work on a project, and it didn't cost extra, so I tried it out. As it happened, I was awake at 4:30am and saw a light shine through the front windows and a car parked on the street. In my groggy state, I figured I'll... -
h264 or h265
I may, or may not have PMS, for those in the know. Don't need kids watching commercials for the few shows I've approved of. -
h264 or h265
From what I've gathered, h.265 encoding is usually junk in cheaper cameras, and added just so they can claim it has it. Do your own testing. I tried h.265 and motion was absolute garbage. The moving object and the background it just passed through would be a pixelated mess, with everything... -

Electrical Inspection Wall Of Shame
Here's the electric panel of the house I grew up in. Not sure how jenky it is, but looks pretty jenky to me. The dryer and barn circuits were added on. We were pretty late getting a microwave. -

US Elections (& Politics) :)
The Democrat primary process is such that the superdelegates pretty much decide whose name will appear on the voting ballot. RFK would have to run as an independent to ever appear on ballots, and that process punishes independents since every state has different requirements that must be met... -
US Elections (& Politics) :)
There's folks with actual ambition though, like Gavin Gruesome, and Michelle doesn't have it. Hate to admit it, but more people probably like Gruesome better than Biden. The Dems could run absolutely anyone else and win, but they are going with the decomposing corpse. -
US Elections (& Politics) :)
Seems pretty clear Michelle doesn't want it, otherwise all she'd have to do is whisper it and the Democratic party would activate to make her POTUS. If I'm being honest, I want to see Republicans get the first female POTUS just to annoy the Democrats. Shut down the stupid diversity rhetoric. -
bidens incredible transition to electric cars
I don't drive often for work, but when I do, it can be 800 miles through Idaho and Montana. You don't want range anxiety going up a mountain pass in a near whiteout and -25 temperature. I went with a gasser for a work car instead of the EV I'd like to own someday. -

Other countries enforce immigration law. Try overstaying your visa in Nicaragua and see if you can get out of jail without paying a huge bribe. -
bidens incredible transition to electric cars
I average about 4hrs between stops when I'm going long distances, and when I do stop, it's for ~5min if for gas and bathroom, or ~10min if I'm getting food too. I'd be willing to wait 20 minutes to charge, but the problem is you can't drive another 4 hours on a 15 minute charge. In a multi-car... -
US Elections (& Politics) :)
That's nearly 5% of the US population... and why aren't the Venezuelans illegally occupying their surrounding countries that also share the same language? Is there something that would compel people to live in a country with a totally different language instead of their own, or other culturally... -
bidens incredible transition to electric cars
I've been saying for an eternity now that a plug-in truck or large SUV would be perfect. The first hybrid was the Honda Insight, and it gets nearly the same fuel economy regardless if the battery works or not because the car is so small that hybrid technology doesn't really matter. Where you... -
Laptops...
I saw the deal on SlickDeals. Normally you've got a couple hours to a day to get that price. There's a Lenovo X1 Nano for $600 mentioned on Slickdeals at the moment. Solid product line, just that it's an 11th gen CPU and 13.3" screen (I prefer 14", but would rather have 13.3 over 15). My... -

Yep, I've got a cheap Amcrest mounted high on a rental house, and it was barely adequate to show a person-sized blur opening the doors of car-sized blurs in the driveway.- redpoint5

Bedtime
Yeah, super interested in using a body cam. Way too many interesting moments in person. Eliminates the temptation to "film" instead of act. All that said, I've probably slept in a car half a dozen times in my youth when I wasn't sober enough to drive. The super weird thing about me is that I...- redpoint5

Take it a step further and monitor your electrical panel to ensure the electric company isn't stealing from you, and you aren't stealing from you (wasted consumption). I installed an Emporia Vue energy monitoring system in my parents home and mine. It monitors the mains (total power...- redpoint5

I only read the title and not the post, and made a smartass comment because I saw a lot of people had already commented and probably provided good info... Now I've read the post, and questions like "brand of IP cameras I need to stay away from" aren't going to steer you right. The path to...- redpoint5
