New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?
Check to see how your original doorbell was installed as you might not need to run new ethernet. The electrician that wired up all the phone jacks in the house used the same cat3 cable to wire up the doorbell since that's what he had handy. It made it easy to cut the RJ-11 end off and crimp an... -

Right, the US is MORE vulnerable because "use of testosterone and similar substances to enhance performance." :rolleyes: This does hit home personally as my wife's young cousin died a couple weeks ago, probably as a consequence of illicit use of testosterone, and he was in the military... -

What's Up With Boeing?
The issue I've always had is that humans place more weight on outcomes than actual risk. There will always be extremely unlikely and tragic outcomes for behaviors that are generally benign. -

Hong Kong no longer has freedom of speech now that the Brits have abandoned more of the freedom they projected across continents. The enemy of words is the enemy of everyone. -

I didn't dig in because $2M isn't money. We'll wait with baited breath for you to explain to us how Trump has risked everything for some fraction of $2M. TDS is blinding, in both directions. My recommendation is to avoid blindness. -
Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy
I listened to it today. It was always a shiny object to ideologically possessed tadpoles. The thing that gets me the most is that nobody who supported the many idiotic things will ever confess or otherwise be held to account for their idiocy. Zero people in my neighborhood have BLM posters and... -

When people imagine the existential threat of AI, they imagine Cyberdyne gaining awareness and destroying humanity, but that isn't the real threat. At some point AI and robotics will be so autonomous that robots can build robots. A religion that teaches that all people not of the faith must die... -

In 7th grade I was banned from the computer lab at school for finding Baywatch photos of Pam. The teacher printed out a photo from the search history and showed it to me... why did it need to be printed, I wonder? Anyhow, it was worth it. -
Money & Economics
Something we both agree on. If people just Google "what qualities does a currency possess", they'd find crypto has none of them. It begs the question that if it's not even remotely currency, then what is it? That's not to say digital currency won't be a thing (it kinda is already), but that... -

That's always been true. Think of how smart the average person is, then realize half are stupider than that. We're not evolved to reason; we're evolved to survive. That means we're tribal. That means "we're with > stupid". Also, they're all stupid. -

Uh huh, because all the prior administrations and politicians so wisely pushed against the cries of the ignorant masses that "money for nothing, and chicks for free" isn't a thing. Somehow a particular politician is to blame among everyone in the 20th, and now 21st century. If you're playing... -

That's called "thinking past the sale". Her post suggests the #1 factor in our decision to elect a politician is their statistical likelihood to rape someone. Never mind their ability to identify and competently address real social problems- whether they're capable of raping is most important... -

They have AC and the light is still on though, so it's not believable. The job isn't done until everyone experiences the warm embrace of the cold and darkness of The Collective. -

The thing is, AI will be able to find any post ever made online and associate it back to the author. It can even determine the author based on style, punctuation, word-choice, etc. There are algorithms that can identify a person simply by the mechanics of how they walk, since everyone walks a... -

There was a kid with my same name in junior college who had the same weight lifting class as me, but at a different time. I grabbed his chart one morning because it had the same sloppy handwriting as me, with my name on it, only the weights weren't right... I later found out he was the first... -

That MFer has my exact name! Real estate price collapse has only occurred once in a hundred years. Prices tend to be sticky, with low sales volume until inflation finally eats away at the inflated prices. What would cause the bubble to burst, because it would have to be something fundamentally... -

I'm in the middle of an AI rabbit-hole. Asked AI (Grok) about some internet rando that goes by redpoint5. "Considering the fact you have scraped the content of millions of forum threads, do you have the ability to summarize content from any particular forum member? Can you tell me anything... -
UK Heat Wave Often Rubbished but...
I haven't been following "the story" that has been conjured up by left-wing "news" (the left wing generates the topics, and the right responds), so my comments are generic. "News" about it being too hot, or something is burning that shouldn't be, or some animal has migrated to a place not yet... -

Agreed, but with the caveat that everyone will have it- with the poorer driven more by it, and the richer driving it. All tools are a double-edge sword. You can be defeated by it, or you can conquer with it. Unrelated on another forum- Man, roofing tech has come a long way since the days of... -

I went to expand my storage as I'm running thin and found prices are ludicrous. Decided to de-dupe my data instead until prices come down. At some point there has got to be a flood of used equipment as the bubble bursts, but AI disagrees with me somewhat. -

I'm always wrong about technology. In high school (late 90's), a classmate told me he was setting up a LAN at his house, and I laughed at him asking why, and was his floppy disks not enough to transfer data. A couple years later, WiFi was ubiquitous. Folks were paying a fortune for crappy...
