    This is a 2-minute point-of-view video by a British pundit. He starts with: "A lot of people who like to start wars are suddenly angry with one guy who wants to stop this war." Other points: -We are seeing changing geopolitics -Americans are tired of wars -Americans are tired of Europe not...

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    I'd be asking the same question if the 3449 had animal detection, but since not, it's moot for me. I'm fairly close to a river and need to know if any gators start showing up.

    Seeing IVS triggers on past events in BI?

    There must be a way it could be done, because the blinking lines also show up when viewing NVR recordings with smartPss. Some proprietary mechanism I would think. On the big NVR vs. BI list, this is one thing that falls in the pro-NVR column, and I do miss it with BI. If BI 6 were to support...

    Ukraine related: Was Ukraine Government Is Handing Out Guns To Citizens, What Happened to Gun Control?

    Once again I stated what I though was a simple easy to understand fact, and you figured out how to warp it. You get the last word because there's no more to it than what I said. A 2024 anniversary of something that happened in 1991 is 33 years. I just can't see how that's debatable. or how to...

    Just for discussion from looking at it from the opposite end... After WW II, US provided all of the defense for the western European countries for a long time. In the past I wondered how those countries were becoming wealthier than the US, then realized that the US paid for the European...

    2023 and 2024 Models Update

    I agree with you on this, but look at it a little differently. My bigger hot button is wishing they'd add animal detection to the firmware for recent camera lines. That said, I view it more like political promises, that maybe they'll add something for current and recent cameras, but if I hold...

    As an example of lies and damn statistics, here's a different "truth" from the approximately same raw data (CBS vs. CNN poll): Trump Hit With Devastating Poll Result After Bonkers Speech "Apparently, only 44 percent of viewers had a very positive reaction to the president’s address...

    I think I can help out on this one! Hopefully without putting words in anybody's mouth. The current Ukraine is 33 years old, after having declared its independence from the Soviet Union on August 24, 1991.

    Right. Instead they get rapes, no-go zones, murder by stabbing instead of firearms, and people run down by cars.

    It is interesting how the leaders say they're worried about Russia invading, yet these same leaders have fought for and encouraged invasions over their open borders.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    This sounds nice on the surface, and I'm thinking that it's trying to leave the impression that 76% of the population supported the speech. But since it's likely that the collection of viewers heavily leaned to Trump supporters, it's actually an expected and meaningless statistic.

    Ukraine related: Was Ukraine Government Is Handing Out Guns To Citizens, What Happened to Gun Control?

    There's a video in this article of Senator Chris Murphy in 2014 bragging how USA helped overthrow the elected Ukraine government. If you're not convinced from the beginning of the video, jump to 3:15 where he admits that Yanukovych was elected, and the US believes in elections, but in this case...

    Think one of my Dahua cameras is about to die?

    I occasionally have an outdoor camera that goes on and off line, and it virtually always goes back to connections. I had one a few days ago. Near the camera there's a waterproof box with a POE splitter and the various connections for it. They were all clean and dry and I saw no signs of...

    You are falling for a bunch of propaganda. CNN is anti-Trump. For everything they say is bad about Trump, if Obama or Biden had done or said the very same thing they would have praised it. CNN gave an easy fact check in the article. Did you look at it before propagating the propaganda? The...

    And the UK, too. If they end up expanding the war due to their stupidity, I hope they don't come running to us for help. The fear mongers and war mongers want the US to engage, under the threat of Russia expanding their territory all over Europe. Ironically, it might be the European...

    2nd Amendment thread

    Not as serious as the California life-and-death level nonsense, the dems in Oregon put in a bill to tax tire sales 4% to fund public transportation. They just won't stop, and the idiot voters keep enabling them.

    I don't have my own conclusion over who slimed who in this, and don't think I'll even have enough correct info and/or smarts to know the answer. Having said that, I can say that Zelensky has been riding the wave of fear if we don't stop Russia in Ukraine, it will have a free hand to take...

    Six years difference is a nit compared to all-time, but just for the record: "An index of 100 is equal to the average level of contract activity during 2001, the first year to be analyzed." Methodology: Pending Home Sales

    Money & Economics

    "U.S. pending home sales have fallen to a new all-time low" Some of these pronouncements are hard for me to swallow. This index behind this claim was created in 2001, so I doubt that it can signal an "all-time low" of pending home sales.
