    Canada is swirling the toilet bowl..

    And Carney has been big behind the scenes for most of Trudeau’s time as PM. And they gave one of his firms Canada’s CPP fund (like social security) to manage just before Trudeau resigned. And a “major” erm, gun control activist has announced to run with the Liberal party. And likely be one the...

    Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc

    At $250, breaking it down for scrap should almost even out. Piston, head, maybe block likely aluminum. And other parts can sell as well, so no loss. Even the elbow grease time should be covered.

    Looking for low-light camera recommendation to use as navigation aid on a boat

    If you get an IR capable camera, get an IR spotlight or two. They’ll help light up the area, but only your cameras and anyone with Night Vision capabilities will be the only ones to see it.

    Laser/LED pointer prevention - please help!

    A trail cam or two might be in order. They can be discreetly placed, resistant to a lot of these efforts, and easily moved if you think they've been spotted. And secured by a light cable, preventing easy theft. Low cost solution. Or use an old cellphone as a camera.

    Well, he can wipe income tax out if a federal sales tax is implemented instead. That would force the States to follow suit, and capture some of the off book revenue that’s currently lost through income tax. It needs to happen fast though. Then if tariffs are dropped or the government want more...

    Well, there’s no national electric grid, so power can’t move that easily around the country. Canadian oil sells on WTI, typically $10-20 per barrel below Brent and Uzs refineries need the heavier crude to properly run. Canada sends a lot of resources to US for processing into goods that then...

    Best cheap camera for inside garage, next to doorway?

    If u don’t want integration into your setup, maybe consider the Reolink door cam. The only Reolink recommended by this site; if I dont add the disclaimer, it derails things. Sounds like it’s more for motion than full face recognition needs given the outer layer. Cheap, should do the night okay...

    There’s an app “Alfred”? For older cellphones that might do what you need. Free and uses an old phone that’s easy to setup a Charger maintaining with a battery and small solar panel.

    Malfunctioning Street Lamp

    Could be a faulty day/night sensor or the bulb. Ask the utility where their closest staffed yard is. Pop in around start/end of day and mention the light issue to guys standing around a boom truck. Gates typically open during hours. Mention there seems to be a bottle of rum on it (or 4 mickey...

    Greetings from the Northeast

    Definitely consider a couple solar powered floodlights down along the drive. Light up at random points along drive and even the pole across the road. If they were nefarious, the lights will demonstrate you saw them and how they creeped you. And they’ll be back before the month is out, if not...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Just popping around some pages of the thread, so this may be covered and resolved already. Ideally exporting a CSV file as an option. No images, but how many times would one encounter the same plate number from two states in one area? Customizable fields would be a bonus, but unneeded columns...
