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.

Someone @me when my Eth and TRU hit like $10,000. Thanks.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt23036112/ Filipino scifi movie. Unfortunately not as cool as the box cover would make you believe, and not about Transformer knock offs. It is more like a Mech / Robot Jox / mutants / aliens thing. It's Filipino scifi so we'll just roll with it. Compared to...

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9600274/ So when this started streaming the first thing I noticed (or anyone probably notices) is this: It definitely lived up to it. Cheap shots aside, it really wasn't THE WORST b-movie ever. Was pretty familiar with most of the cast through tv series or other...

Been thinking about this one for a bit and most of these are extremely close to ones I would pick: Soundgarden - Superunknown; I don't know how much we listened to this in school. In 10th grade or 11th grade I even did a reading of Fell On Black Days in AP English class. Dream Theater - Scenes...

Little Rock isn't really that bad and being centrally located is helpful. I'm not a fan of NW AR for a lot of reasons that I'm not a fan of, let's say, other trendy developing places? Not sure how to put that exactly. Bentonville, Rogers, Springdale, and Fayetteville are everything I dislike...

Thinking back on it more I did like Studio 60, so that wasn’t completely fair. Newsroom though was hard for me to stomach. Hopefully we can catch up on this show over the weekend on our vacation.

Picked up my girl from vet this morning.

Yeah, exactly. And to reiterate this is just my perspective on how it goes together in my head. It may not be your style or anything! So not suggesting it is wrong. I think I had a similar complaint about Gideon The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir and it being difficult to get a good rhythm going. So hey...

Read about half of Book 1 last night. Really excited for you and glad you were able to get everything out and listed. No doubt it was a huge undertaking and something that is well beyond my capability to craft. Without getting in to specific story content and criticisms (which I'll hold until...

Maybe better to say “a writer from The West Wing” since the primary writer was cocaine Aaron Sorkin. But it does look like she took over at Season 4 which would have been around the time Sorkin started stepping out. Which for me was when the show started going downhill. Doesn’t say much since...

I’ve been watching as they released, just not the finale yet. It’s been cool. Somewhat convoluted but fun.

@Dandain time to get the band back together!

I don't remember making this post or anything about the book...

I’m almost finished with Fulgrim and was going to take a break, but depending on how this ends I may trudge on a bit more. Took a break in between 4 - 5 to read Captain by Will Wight. But I'm mostly fine with moving forward with some HH or 40k. It helps, having never played the table top or...

$1300 + $500-600 for the dust extractor. If there's one thing I've consistently heard / seen good things about it is Festools dust extraction. I've wanted to get one myself to roll around the shop and connect up to small tools. Supposedly that's a huge benefit of their mitre saw, but at $1,600...
