    Canada is swirling the toilet bowl..

    Well, China buys their way into places. Has been buying into Canada for a while in oil and minerals especially. Not so obvious infrastructure and such like other areas. A broke Canada with a close relationship with China will take that infrastructure money and be in the hip pocket. USA will be...

    Canada is swirling the toilet bowl..

    Atlantic polls have closed. Conservative are doing very well at the outset. Over performing in anticipated seat count and popular vote. Popular vote is meaningless in the election results up here, BTW. At least a +5 seat change for Conservatives. Need 172 for majority. Next big results, and...

    Canada is swirling the toilet bowl..

    Trump doesn’t care whether Canada moves left or right. Never has. Obama got paid a million or more a tweet to support Trudeau during a few of his elections. Same deal, but Trumps free or being paid more quietly. Trump just wants to drop the exchange rate to 50%. To say he did that basically...

    You’d think that with that many saws there’d be a few spare bars and chains. Unbolt the saw, add the spare gear and keep going. And he doesn’t know how to use a wedge very well either. He’s in full macaroon territory.

    Outdoor Solar Security Camera/Amazon Fire Tablet>>> Which ones?

    Well, Bluetooth on the tablet. So trail cam with Bluetooth option would be closest for your needs. No SIM that way.

    Canada is swirling the toilet bowl..

    Unfortunately, too close to call. Probably a minority government propped up by only the Bloq and no NDP this time. Right now, Liberals only needed one of the two to pass whatever. So free rein last few years. Now, free rein, so long as Quebec gets hugely preferential treatment. Typically the...

    Friends dont let friends install wireless cameras

    Maybe see what wifi channel the new neighbours are running? Maybe you can both use opposite ends of the channels? Could be everything is on the same middle range? It’s free, easy, and somebody gets a free beer or coffee!

    Canadian Federal Election tomorrow! Monday April 28th. Will Carney resurrect the Liberal Party from a projected historic wipeout under Trudeau to a Liberal majority? Will Pollivere get at least a minority government after polling projected an all time high majority, only to drop off a cliff...

    We've been having trouble finding a doorbell camera that works for us. Help please

    Reolink POE Doorbell camera will do everything except the battery. We’ve managed to dial things down to someone stepping on the landing. Essentially about to ring the bell if nice, or kick the door in, if not nice. Getting the cord fished through old doorbell wiring passage isn’t bad. If no...

    improve night vision

    Maybe paint that side of the fence non glossy or even textured? A dark colour would be great, but not sure what aesthetic appeal you can get away with. Talk to the knights of nik and get a tall shrubbery?

    Helping a friend

    You can also get trail cams that send an alert on activation. So maybe catch in act. If he’s well known in the community, there are probably some hunters who can loan the gear and even help set it up. They’re pretty good at how to use them. Then not much cash outlay and more people...

    WTS Lightly used NVR8CH-8P-2AI NVR

    Not sure why you’re hung up on taxes being part of the savings, but ask what you want; see if you get it. Guys try to sell guns in Canada for more than retail and claim you’re saving the tax. And that it’s been fired, so it’s reliable. Empire website shows your upgrading to about a $600 unit...

    WTS Lightly used NVR8CH-8P-2AI NVR

    Well, used electronics would be 50% at best typically. And with no idea of how used it is, hours of service, year built, etc. why would anyone go even that high on a something that sees harder useage than a desktop would? 24/7 with no “sleep” times like a desktop.

    Iron workers typically aren’t allowed anymore, but they would just grab the edges of the I beams with Hands and just “walk” up the beam. One of the reasons their boots have flat soles. They can move pretty fast.

    So long as you can state you are in your way to known biking area or a marina (or back to home), it’s “temporary installation”. Just know where there’s one in opposite directions from your house.

    I want to see the wildlife in the garden at night, looking for some half decent cameras and maybe a NVR .... already made some bad choices.

    Since it’s for your father, maybe look at a PC stick that plugs into the HDMI of a TV? Then he can maybe just press “source/input” and go from shows to cams live stream with one button. And bigger screen maybe. And it’s small enough, that maybe a proficient UKer on here could set it up and...

    Window twitcher hanging around my Scottish cabin in a forest.

    I’d start with a few trail cams to see about narrowing down the access routes. And then maybe just a heat camera to know the perp is there. Stay in cabin, call cops. They check the road for parked cars. Then guests or cops flush perp and see what vehicle moves. ID of the perp is nice, but not...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    PP was the fiscal watchdog position during the Harper administration. Which was among the best financially minded on earth at the time. Harper is still economically revered in most circles. Carney is being flouted due to the two “Bank of” leaderships he’s had as the financial port in the Trump...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    For those who likely don’t know (which is expected): That is Pierre Pollivere (PP), federal leader of the Conservative Party. Canada is in the midst of an election campaign, with voting on April 28. Our elections are shorter and much more erraticly timed than US ones. While probably somewhere...

    License plate capture on private driveway

    And with a chain, you can put multiple locks in as “links”. So if there is more than one group needing access, they all get their own lock and get added in. Some daisy chain the locks, some keep a few feet between them since some people don’t understand how to interconnect them and miss a lock...

    License plate capture on private driveway

    Well, sounds like the visitors are mostly the unsociable type anyways. Won’t stop a Jehova’s Witness from trying to spread the word, but for most na’er do wells be just fine. And use combination padlock instead of a keyed alike set. Easier for wanted guests or multiple landowner vehicles.

    License plate capture on private driveway

    Definitely gates for access control. You can say goodbye to your rights if they can prove unfettered access for over a year in some places. Just lock the gates at one end and use the other for a week at a time to start. And lock both ends Fri AM to Mon AM. People are creatures of habit and...
