  1. Well, they are on the lake and they want to be able to launch their boat. Selfish assholes.
  2. https://www.yahoo.com/news/do-1-in-5-adults-under-30-really-believe-the-holocaust-didnt-happen-not-so-fast-how-some-online-polling-practices-are-fueling-misinformation-210458949.html? 3% is still too high though.
  3. This. Fuck, some people just can’t help but bring politics into every discussion imaginable.
  4. I ended up buying a Eufy system. It’s another app but Eyeon wanted to sell me cameras and equipment at $325 plus another $20 per month in Cloud storage. The Eufy system stores the videos on a local card that can store 3 months of videos which is more than I need. So long as my internet is up (it rarely goes down) I can access the videos from my iPhone anywhere that I get an internet connection. No monthly fees. If I don’t like it I have 30 days to return it with Amazon.
  5. A friend who lives on the lake tells me that part of the problem is that LCRA generates a lot power from the dam. So that’s where some of the water goes. I looked briefly for some historical discharge data and I only found this screenshot:
  6. https://antiordinary.co/ I will consider one of these when my Giro wears out. It’s supposed to be even safer than a traditional shell helmet. But my Giro has served me well.
  7. I have an existing alarm system (with Eyeon Integrated Solutions--apparently a Houston-based provider). It has a z-wave hub and uses Alarm.com which I can access with my iPhone. It seems I can integrate other z-wave devices with the Alarm.com account. I'm already paying for monitoring through Eyeon. I am looking to add a Ring-type door bell/monitor and at least one outdoor security camera/motion sensor. Is there any advice for using z-wave compatible devices and running them through the z-wave hub vs. going with a standalone system like Ring?
  8. Yep. Looks like Hillshire straight from the package.
  9. Even when I was younger and had very good hearing I was one that never understood the lyrics of most songs. Too much mumbling and other distractions in the music. Lyrics matter a little but I judge a song by the melody and the artist.
  10. Demo’d the ClubCar Autonomous Caddie over the weekend. Works great. https://www.clubcar.com/en-us/golf-operations/fleet-golf/tempo-walk
  11. Team DST. Hell, do it +2 hours and leave it there. I’d like to leave work at 5 and get 18 holes in.
  12. I just got an Apple News alert saying that Kate was seen today with King Charles. She’s not dead yet.
  13. My mother was born in Louisiana and is 1/2 French on her mother’s side. We always thought she was half coonass but when we did a family tree several years ago we learned that the ancestors were indeed French, but they came to New Orleans well before the Cajuns arrived from Nova Scotia.
  14. At least in my case, with 23 and me, it categorizes my ancestry with various locations in Europe—some of which are very specific locations. It uses modern geographical boundaries which may or may not reflect the actual genetic makeup of the country as a whole. In my case, from my father’s side, my genetics come from a very small area in Poland near the German border. I could actually be more German than Polish.
