    Home insurance rate increases

    My homeowners insurance dropped 10% this year for no apparent reason. However, I will learn in August or so if I am one of the "lucky" ones getting dropped in part because the idiots at CAL FIRE rezoned a bunch of areas to put them in the "severe" fire risk area in order to build their empire.

    The official "WTF" thread

    Actually, its more that states don't want to register them due to questionable compliance with DOT regulations, from what I've read. The chicken tax is only for new vehicles, and these are old enough to be exempted from this.

    Would you trust this device?

    Unfortunately, need to stay in this loony-toons state for a few more years before I can retire, and then I hope that I can sell my house (can't sell if new buyers can't get insurance). The idiots from CDF didn't help by claiming that pretty much any area that is state responsibility is "high...

    Would you trust this device?

    Those State Farm bastards just raised my rates 75% because of a single ticket... First one in 30+ years. And in a couple months, I get to find out if I am one of the "lucky" ones that they are dropping from their homeowners coverage.

    Funny / Satire

    I remember the original and I'm not quite yet 60 (but inching closer), but Telsa (the band, not the car brand) covered the song in 1990.

    Money & Economics

    The left is still trying to maintain their lie that Trump only cut taxes for the wealthy. Then, somehow, FJB is going to let this expire, their taxes will go up, and he'll blame Republicans for it. Yes, these people are gullible. And they get the same vote as informed people.

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    Unfortunately, there are many who base their vote on the opinion of the people they idolize. Terrifying....

    Another day, another boat crashing into my dock... sigh

    Can you put out bollards or something to prevent this? Just drive a couple pilings a foot out or so?

    Google is inherently evil. Drop them like a bad habit.

    The official "WTF" thread

    The bridge was racists, anyway, since it was named for the guy who wrote the Star Spangled Banner.

    3 suspects follow North Texas man home from bank, try to break into car

    What I learned in an emergency vehicle operations class, if your life is being threatened (a gun pointed at you), self-defense is allowed, and it doesn't matter what weapon you use to defend yourself. Run over the bastard and do society a favor. Yes, this was in the People's Republik, to...

    Suggestions for indoor wifi cameras with Blue Iris for occasional use when traveling

    I have a few Axis P3433 that were upgraded to newer cams, a couple Amcrest IP-841, as well as a couple Dahua IPC-K42A that I picked up from Andy for indoor use. They all work well for this purpose. I have BI set up to automatically record these cameras when everyone in the home is outside of...

    Confusion over Static Object Analysis

    I've read the manual, and tried setting a few different things, but I still can't seem to understand how to set up static object analysis. I only need to use it on a couple cameras that see my driveway to eliminate parked cars, so I turned it on only for these cameras by checking the box on the...
