    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Well, I guess that's why there's a thread mocking the results of these terrible cameras. Still like having one, but looking forward to when the technology improves.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Focus issue on my Reolink? The bricks 15ft away appear in focus, but people 3ft away are soft. Is there anything I can adjust?

    How are Dahua doorbells?

    What is standard doorbell cable? I found out Cat 3 was run to my doorbell, and they just used 2 wires from it to run power. I wasn't able to use the cable as a pull cord to run cat 6, so I just spliced some in. Anyhow, if I had to do it again, I might consider the WiFi version, despite the...

    Electrical Inspection Wall Of Shame

    Oh no, that's how it's wired to this day. I've been trying to get dad to tear the house down, so he took that advice and installed a new roof... on a house nobody has lived in for 15 years.

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    I had to go right to the source... listening now. There's something exhilarating about Daniel going into the hungry lion's den and coming out unscathed. EDIT: LOL, I'm already laughing. "Leaving it to the voters is controversial?".

    Guy catches package thief, clearly needs more cameras

    Aw man, and a cop was right there too.

    The official "WTF" thread

    I stopped drinking water, because it's a chemical. I wonder what vehicle LEOs will be getting next?

    Gas Company Technician Urinating In Bag

    Discrete. In SF you just take a dump on the sidewalk and then pass out naked.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Well, I was just about to brag about my triumphant install in this thread... and immediately realized from the photo in the OP that I had installed the wedge backwards, and that's why it was so janky... Now I'm back after flipping that bracket over. This whole frustration started when I saw a...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    That is important context; so it sounds like she does want to bring Palestinians into the US. How about this; bring the head of a Hamas leader, and the US will consider that proof of wanting asylum. I call that the 1 for 1 exchange.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I'm torn on this. On the one hand, we should know the full facts of things. On the other, obscuring details diminishes the impact jihadists want, which is to take credit for death.

    That would be a federal crime. Is that postal worker sitting in a federal prison now?

    Israel attacked by Hamas...

    Of course it's a trap, and Hamas is using their women and children as fodder in that trap. As I stated before, if someone hates you, there are only 2 options: 1. You leave 2. They leave By leave, sometimes that means shuffling off this mortal coil. Sometimes that means causing folks to leave...

    The 1st Amendment Thread

    The hilarious thing is that Orwell is a Democratic Socialist. They hate him because 1984 shows the Democratic Socialist endgame; not conservatism. Conservatism, by definition, means things as they are. You don't go from things how they are, to 1984 without some seriously bad ideas becoming...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    I found this interview recently after wondering what happened to Sargon. Searched for him and found this latest interview by Dave. To recap, Sargon was banned from Patreon for saying something not related to Patreon, and a bunch of high profile people like Sam Harris and Jordan Peterson quit...

    Israel attacked by Hamas...

    The crazy thing to me is that the Jews aren't even religious anymore. They're not opposed to Islam on religious grounds so much as just wanting to be killed less. I'm certainly no expert, but it seems to me the root of all the worst violence is a group of folks indoctrinated to believe the only...

    Israel attacked by Hamas...

    On another forum just now, someone asked "What does a win/win solution look like? Reframe the peace." My response; "When my life or others is threatened, my vision of win/win is they get to live if they unconditionally surrender immediately. If they agree, they get to be Japan and prosper. "

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    Even RINOs are occasionally right. I'd say he's a politician. If something doesn't matter, like if someone drives an EV or not, then he's going to say the thing people in his state wants to hear. Also, he's not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. Anyhow, the political pendulum is swinging...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    My wife would choose death rather than shoot an attacker. Not because she's anti-gun, just because her nature is to not harm others. She's literally in more danger having a firearm because she'd give it to a violent man yelling at her to hand it over. My sister carries a revolver and would take...

    bidens incredible transition to electric cars

    I intended to say they inherently have nothing to do with each other. From a political standpoint, it's yet another device to steal the attention of sheep. I'm enthusiastic for EVs and solar, which is why they should not be subsidized. When a competitor is ready to compete, they don't need...

    bidens incredible transition to electric cars

    I'm fascinated by solar and EV's, and technology in general. It's not there yet. In some areas close to the equator where electricity is expensive (Hawaii), solar probably pays for itself. Their days are roughly the same length year round, and the weather is fairly even. I make 1/5th the...

    bidens incredible transition to electric cars

    I'm not in favor of solar unless it pays for itself. I have solar in rainy Oregon only because there were 3 subsidies. With the compelled help of poor Oregon taxpayers, poor utility customers, and poor federal taxpayers, I could afford to install solar I don't need on my big house. Unreliable...

    bidens incredible transition to electric cars

    You're in Oregon. We've got super cheap electricity and super expensive gas. EVs make a ton of sense as a 2nd vehicle here. Rooftop solar has nothing to do with EVs. CA obviously has regressive policy considering their electricity is among the most expensive in the nation AND their gas. They...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    BLM was always recognizable as a scam by anyone taking 30 seconds to read their website. They are against the nuclear family; the very reason why black folk needlessly suffer. Being against the greatest, most tested institution in all of human history will harm any group who takes that position...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    Fool should have his shirt torn from his body and then ask him if boundaries should exist, and let him continue to answer incorrectly as many times as necessary.

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    It's the dumbest question a person could ask. Why can't I just just have sex with his wife, eat his food, sleep in his bed? Boundaries are absolutely crucial. Only profoundly corrupt or ignorant people fail to understand that.

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    The befuddling thing to me is why communists don't just skip the suffering stage, and opt for the death stage right away. Why is suffering an important step?

    BRICS is a casualty because it's comprised of backwards nations. Ineptitude can only be sustained for a moment.

    Israel attacked by Hamas...

    I declare other belief systems as inept and corrupt all the time. The only difference is that I'm responsible to mine, and others are on their own. There's zero harm in me saying someone's belief system is corrupt. If someone is killing and raping women and children then that's different than...
