Funny story: I read that exact "blog" before I posted, but they sell those pools though, so wasn't sure how biased it was.

Doesn't look like anything to me:

Never heard of that city, so looked it up and there is a lot of weird development that makes it look like one huge sprawling suburb in places, but there are very few houses on those roads. Was that all from the 08 crash? Like people buying huge tracks of land and spending the money to pave a...

I liked the first few seasons, but at around that point it felt like the whole schtick of the show was spent. I think I finished the show, but interest was almost non-existent by then end, and was just watching it to finish it. I also watched the show after the Harry and Megan Markel thing, so...

I almost feel like I am invested in how bad this show is and keep going back and forth about trying to watch the next season. I have access to Prime , but maybe, if I decide to try to hate watch it, I will do so on a pirate streaming site, so there is no way to count toward any metric that...

I am not sure what all you can get away with for putting under the pool. One friend's mom lived in a trailer, out in the boonies, but also had a full size above ground pool. I don't remember seeing anything but weeds around the base of it; so I would assume they just plopped it down on the...

You can probably bury an above ground pool to about a foot deep, without much of a problem, but any more than that would need a proper retaining structure built into the earthen embankment. The water and liner of the pool is not nearly enough to hold it back and it will eventually collapse the...

When I played through Dragon's Dogma 1, I ended up looking up builds/guide for the follower, but don't remember using a walkthrough. I found the combination of story, world, and combat good enough to "finish" the game, but interest was pretty much dead after the main story was over. That's...

I, too, AFKed Wintergrasp to get currency for things. It was a nice break from AFKing AV!

Ah, after reading the FAQ for the mod it makes a bit more sense. Putting the NV mechanics onto FO3 would be helpful, if you like the FO3 vanilla game. It doesn't go into all the changes but they say they have changed both games to make it seem more like one game, but Bethesda's writing is bush...

Oh, weird. I don't see the point of that; it sounds gimmicky in order to sell yet another version of the game. Like how they keep finding a way to re-release Skyrim every few years.

New Vegas is good, so if you are on the fence, just do that. They have no relation to each other outside of the engine. There are well developed mods that improve various things too; at least that's what I have read but I've not played any. A replay of New Vegas with mods is on my list too, but...

Cyanide has the Blood Bowl games and they made a pretty good Game of Thrones game, way back before season 6. Also, Cyanide made the Styx games that someone mentioned earlier, not Daedalic. Daedalic has been the publisher for a few good games I have played. The best were from Mimimi studios...

Sorry, did I need to specify it as the last half of Legion prices (which bounced between ~170k and ~220k for the year before BFA release)? Regardless, they haven't had another massive influx of gold, since the gold farms of the Legion table tripled the token prices. I like the spider, but not 2...

Sorry, that doesn't fit with lore, as that would count as wearing it. Gollum: "We-z cant wears it or he will finds us. The eye! The eye is always watching!" Eye of Sauron: "I SEE YOU...wait...what are you DOING! STOP THAT!! THE RING DOESNT GO THERE!!!"

You also need to make use of some of your credit though. Just having open lines that are sitting at $0 don't do that much and using your credit, obviously may lead to getting charged interest. It may be worth it, if your sitting at a 650 and you want get a better 30 year fixed rate by getting...

Strangely enough, the prices were the lowest in 2 or 3 xpacs when Dragonflight was in it's first month, at around 130,000 gold. Now its back to Legion prices: You can convert tokens you buy with gold into game time OR ActiBliz credit (to buy anything on their store, even Destiny 2 was on...

Wop wop. The Classic Token has arrived. Was going to post this in the retail thread, since it's kinda funny, but I guess here is better.

"Hardcoded" is the only keyword I have seen for something like that. I don't think players can process multiple fonts in the same subtitle file, maybe? I often have issues with playing only subs for the foreign language parts in a lot of English primary movies/TV.

Sucks that you ran into electrical shenanigans. I wouldn't be surprised, when you climbed up into the attic, to see that ADT alarm box was also spliced into the same electrical that is tied to that fuse. I would be mostly concerned that the fuse could not handle the equipment you want to put...

FTL travel is time traveling into the past. You don't need a telescope, you just fly around in circles at FTL and you will arrive before you departed. Wormholes have the same problem, as you can use them to time travel, just as you can use them to travel between two points in space. Also, FTL...

A site like that, yea. That one looks like it scraps data from more places, so it's probably the best you are going to get now days. The old ones used to allow you to filter out crimes, the dates they occurred, and then search over a wider area. Also, on spotcrime, sexual assault and murder are...

I had acquaintances that were in the security field (mostly commercial systems) and one of them showed me how to track crime in DFW, Houston, and Austin (around 2005). For many years after that I would poke around those websites on a semi-regular basis. Nowhere is "safe," if you are within an...

Oh, well I hope they fix that before 1.0 is released! The Sseth review was what made it look promising, and it has had numerous updates since then.

The dome type camera is fairly low profile and you can paint most of them (outside of the front face) to match the color of your house. Otherwise, to get a truly inconspicuous set up, you would need to build your house around them. There are most likely heavy trade offs in cost/quality, just to...

Many are hardwired, by taking over the existing doorbell wiring, as Lanx says, but it can depend on the camera. There are battery operated WiFi ones from Blink, Ring, and others (for various uses where taking over the hard wire wont work, like apartments), so you should make sure when buying, to...

Heh, I reread it a few times now and I guess my point of confusion comes with why you would need to go in the attic for the doorbell cam. It looks like the Reolink doorbell cam is a really easy install (like 10 minutes to get it running). It is designed so you just have to connect it to your...

With PoE cameras there is no need for a separate power connection, you only need to run a Cat6 line from a PoE capable switch; which most people put close to their router. Monoprices sells good quality Cat6, that has the plugs already on it, at various lengths; so its only a matter of wrapping...

Looking through the above guys videos for some older 1440 or 1080 night time tests, here instead, is his video on some of the wireless options (no wyze, unfortunately):

Some shits the same, some isn't. It's like saying a Pentium 3 is the same as a Pentium 7. Cameras are all about the chip set, the lens, and AI system. How much difference all that makes depends on the use. The cheaper "American" cameras that Amazon and Google put out are generations behind, but...

Setting up a full wired high quality system is certainly going to be more work. The main place you "pay" for cheaper cameras is in the night vision; anyone can do good day vision at this point. Without someone independently evaluating them all, I've got no idea how to tell the differences though...

I dont constantly read about this stuff, so it may be a bit out of date. This info is mostly from my experience setting up some cameras from a few years ago: Wireless cameras suck. POE cameras are the way to go and running 1 cat6 line per camera isn't too difficult. Does your sister/BIL have...

Can't account for the rain in napkin math! Also didn't account for 100+ days of over 100 degree temperature or the drought conditions of last summer. The rate of evaporation has so many different factors that it's impossible to get anything close to an accurate monthly lose for a single city...
