If shipping wasn't a billion and 1 dollars I'd offer to buy a couple and we could all make our own FoH projects!

Mission: Impossible III (6/10): This was way better than 2. It is basically a 10/10 when compared directly. Seems to kick off the "Scenes of Tom Cruise Running" requirement. Lots of running. The bridge scene was immediately memorable, Tom slamming in to the side of the car when the missile hits...

Wow that’s crazy…

I may not be a fireman but I've spent almost 20 years working with them!

Yeah X-Wing taught me all about custom autoexec.bat and config.sys files, and HIMEM.sys.

I used this bit to flatten a few boards that were wider than my jointer and planar, worked pretty good. Even installed it the right direction.

lol I was rushing on a side project trying to get a couple things finished before dinner, swapping out a dado stack, rip blade, crosscut blade, and just got careless. I was cutting that little piece of trim I made (poplar) and went “wtf now!” When it barely cut through and burnt the hell out of...

Hopefully this doesn’t blow up browsers since I’m posting on mobile… Just wanted to show that even after years of using a table saw what stupid mistakes you can make when you’re rushing and distracted. Luckily this was about the “safest” of stupid mistakes.

Traveling this week for work, but regarding my closet electrical and where I'm thinking of pivoting. This completely normal and dirty outlet that is in my office (previously a kids room from prior owner) is on the other side of the same wall on the interior of my closet. So maybe just cutting...

I mentioned over in the Home Improvement thread a few upgrades that I did, starting with the Reolink doorbell. Swapped over to an Amplifi Alien and SB8200 and got rid of the leased Xfinity box. Everything went in smoothly. Even the Xfinity app for registering my own modem only took about 10...

*edit: disregard all that, I may have a better idea. Or worse. Hopefully better. Spelunked around in the attic for a few minutes, dug through about 28 feet of insulation and ran my gloved hand along all the studs to trace wires. I can easily get to the hallway light fixture and the two...

We felt similarly about Encanto and were unimpressed. 5 year old also wasn't captured which is a big miss in terms of animated musical bright flashy thing. On to our latest... Mission Impossible I (6/10): Phew, this was worse than I remembered. The sequence of planting the glasses to catch the...

I don't think anyone is? Maybe something was misread. I certainly don't think you do lol

For $1,000 I'll fly you to Little Rock and do it. I'm pretty insulted (*edit: by his quote) haha.

Mitre saw wise I would look at what you're wanting to cut, and where. Do you need it to be more compact and transportable / jobsite, or is it going to be more or less permanently fixed to your bench? I would stay in the 10" or 12" inch range and probably leaning more towards 10" for myself...

On a side note I picked up an AmpliFi Alien + Mesh on eBay for $360 that came in today. Works perfect. Guy included two new power cables b/c he kept the old ones and a new patch cable.

Got the estimate. All I can say is lol

That is funny because I haven’t received the quote back from electrician yet. When he came by to look at the downstairs closet + doorbell he took a look here also. Didn’t open the switch or anything. Just shrugged and said “sure that’s easy.” Maybe to them it is a wash but it would seem one set...

This is really bad but I had to power through the 1st season. Almost none of it is good and it takes itself way too seriously for just how corny it is. Catastrophe of the week that just escalates from bad decision after bad decision. Super bad CGI. Plot spaghetti. But man I just love terrible...

Yep, I get what you're putting down, but I don't think that will be the case because it is a 3-way with a switch at the end of the hallway. That switch is hallway, light is hallway. No current switch or light in closet. *edit: Yeah it is one romex coming in to the switch right now. The outlet...

Okay, after thinking it through a bit I'm going to do the equipment in the upstairs hallway closet. It goes straight in to the attic so if I need to run cables for exterior cameras it is direct to there. There's a coax run that I can pull in to there for the Xfinity ethernet. I think it makes...

Between my spine surgery and son being born I'll see if I can squeeze it in :p

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4616348/ Independent, short film, from a guy out of South Carolina. There was some quality here but overall the atrocious child acting was distracting. The writing was way too on point and heavy handed. For a while I really thought it was some Kirk Cameron Christian...

Appreciate it. Yeah that's a long term goal. Have to balance it by how long we'll be here since it isn't a forever home. We're looking at 5 - 8 years max, but that's another topic. I do believe you about the ADT stuff. It runs in and out of the walls on opposing sides of that closet but is the...

Nah, no concern from me about danger or inconvenience, really. They're going to come out tomorrow and give me an estimate to do that + other stuff that I need. No commitment or cost for it so may as well listen.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13399128/ This was moderately bad. I have no idea about the history or making of this but it seems like a film festival specific type movie? I don't know what that means really, just a vibe. Also with it being almost exclusively limited to one actress, most of her...

Had to jump on a call when I got back home but snapped this. The black box I'm guessing is part of the chime / doorbell system. Pull cord on the light turns the doorbell on/off! May hire this one out and get the closet sorted to fully take the equipment I want.

Figured out today that the coat closet downstairs has a light fixture mounted to the wall with a fuse screwed in to it. So was playing with that thinking about where to centrally locate the NVR and PoE switch. It’s where the existing, non working, ADT box and stuff is from the previous...

Haha no, nothing comes out at all. But that would almost make it worth it.

yeah, tried talking through it and using the "sound alarm" feature and nothing comes out. I can hear clearly audio coming in to the doorbell. Checked all the setting in the app volume wise, etc, and no joy. Didn't feel like fiddling with it any more today b/c it isn't something that really...

The Reolink doorbell went in, mostly, without issue. The speaker on the thing won’t work at all. At first I wasn’t sure if setup was working because it guides you with audio prompts from the doorbell. But just continuing through the process it worked fine. App set up and everything was about...

I’m not quite finished but have been doing an episode or so at night catching up on work. This is such a bizzare, quirky show. I love it. The one I just finished that was the long backstory campfire exposition was probably a low point so far mostly bc it seemed to drag.

I think most of us are just tech geeks and like bells and whistles and projects. In my neighborhood our 70 year old neighbors will text if an Amazon package is on our doorstep for more than a few hours and gossip about all the goings on up and down the street. They’re cute. All retired with...

Yeah I read in to the manual after buying and there was a mention about jumpering across the chime otherwise the cam would not have enough power. I’d have to go back and find the specific section. I’m honestly happy with that because while our charm is working today, it has been used 2 times in...

I was just saying that I'm not going to be bothered running a CAT6 through the brick by my door where the existing doorbell is or routing a new line to a new doorbell location. I'll make do with the WiFi doorbell now and run PoE later to cameras. Just haven't gone up in to the attic or in the...

Went ahead and ordered the Reolink WiFi doorbell since we don't have CAT5/6 to that and I'm not sure about drilling in there to run it. Existing doorbell works so I feel like tapping in to that would be easiest. Have a couple of ideas for running equipment in the house, but none of those...

I've been lazy about buying a doorbell cam just because I have no idea what home cameras I want. Buying a Ring seems like a waste if the rest of the system doesn't play together.

Maybe it is a play on words, like Mortal Combat 1, 2nd go around. So, like 12, but with a comma.

Rugged for what? I’m barely down anything. I’m just tired of checking it every three months feeling like I missed another meme run in order to dump.
