    Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc

    Wow, Glad things were mostly OK. I saw KHOU noon time broadcast and there was lots of rain and wind. I was kind of hoping it would stay way south and I would get some west of SA. But it has been sunny, hot and dry all day.

    PsychoBilly corvette

    I saw psychobilly corvette (with respect where due!) while driving I-10 about the Florida-Georgia line a couple of weeks ago. I reviewed my dash camera footage and was unable to find anything. Turns out that my camera is recording in super fast speed. The corvette was painted psychedelic colors...

    In-ground conduit for cam related cables

    I do not see a problem running the irrigation and ethernet cable in the same conduit. I think though at that distance, the voltage drop in the irrigation cable will be excessive. I use Voltage Drop Calculator | Southwire to calculate drop. Unfortunately, they only go down to 14 gauge on the...

    Dealing with lens artifacts.

    I have got an Empiretec Color4k-T that I used to try and capture the eclipse back in April. I left it pointing to the south sky. When there was a full moon out this month, there was the reflection of the full moon also in the picture. Maybe when the sun was in this same spot, the relic was there...

    Strange camera behavior

    I'm wondering if your NVR has separate power supplies for the two banks of ports? Possibly a week power supply on the second bank or exceeding your power budget on that bank. When you test the problem camera on the second bank of ports, have you unplugged all the other cameras off this side...

    Shrink-flation: Post your examples

    I'm going to beat this dead horse one last time! The picture I posted must have been an HEB roll. This picture is from Costco the other day. Northern is the one on top at 4.5"x4.2. The Scott is much smaller at 4.1x3.7.

    Shrink-flation: Post your examples

    oh, yeah I remembered the post! I just pulled the old roll out of the trash and it is 4-1/2". The new one is 4". The cardboard roll was the same size though. Both were from Costco (probably). There is a lot of advertising going on about the wavy perforations. Distract you with that and you might...

    Shrink-flation: Post your examples

    Toilet paper company spending millions to convince us how much better they are now that the perforations are wavy. Never mentioning how much skinnier they are.

    License plates

    The Elmira comments in the Arjun thread reminded me of NSFRATU I spotted years ago on Halloween. I don't remember seeing it before or since.

    License plates

    Having an hour drive each way to and from work I notice a lot of vanity license plates. Today I spotted a Florida plate with SUB on the left and expected a hull number on the right but it was WOO. I guessed maybe it was just random issue until they passed on my left and I spotted an A hidden in...

    Site ads making site unusable on mobile Safari

    I've got Brave loaded. When I pulled it up, the last tab opened had this headline from July 8 of 2023. Wonder why I stopped using it? My specs are 331 Trackers & ads blocked 7.7MB Bandwidth saved 17seconds Time saved I guess I did not use if for long. https://archive.is/m8ots

    Site ads making site unusable on mobile Safari

    No changes for me on Firefox or Edge on windows. Chrome on android tablet also still hosed. I guess our results might vary!

    Chrome on windows is working fine. Also it is just the landing page for me so manageable.

    Odd behaviour on IPCAMTALK.COM

    The ads are probably the issue. I can see things normally until ads load. Firefox Focus on android cuts out ads by default and it shows ipcamtalk.com just fine. The ads that seem to cause it are wide ads that cannot be resized by the browser leaving only enough room for one letter like you...

    Odd behaviour on IPCAMTALK.COM

    I see ads so do not think there is a blocker on. I did go into edge after reading your comment and set ipcamtalk to allow in popup screen. Noted that amcrest.com is on the allow list for popups. The talk to a salesman popup on amcrest.com is about an annoying piece of garbage so I took it off...

    Odd behaviour on IPCAMTALK.COM

    Recently ipcamtalk.com has been displaying oddly. The first several entries are showing up with one letter on each line until the whole header is displayed. This happens on my android tablet, Firefox and Edge on Windows. It does not happen in chrome on windows. Anyone else seeing this?

    The official "WTF" thread

    ^^^^ The chicken tax at work. There is a 25% tariff on light trucks unless built in the US. If these pickups are imported fully assembled, they are charged 25% tariff. So they must be imported in complete knockdown kits and assembled stateside. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tax

    Listen up people --- Florida is not a fully tamed State

    Wow, that picture was taken yesterday in Central Pasco county and there is certainly no shortage here. The gazebo was painted over the winter so maybe it is still giving off VOCs and they are attracted to that. Not so many where they normally accumulate in the window wells.

    So they are not really dangerous. If you breath with your mouth open, they might cause you to hack a bit. They could ruin your paint job and streak your windshield. But I really hate lovebugs!

    Ants

    TERRO Indoor Liquid Ant Killer Baits (6-Count) T300 - The Home Depot This is 5% borax and rest is listed as other. Probably sugar to attract the ants. The ants go in and the borax kills them. Nice and neat 1"x3" plastic would fit nicely in your enclosure and is easy to clean up. It might take...

    Funny / Satire

    Is it coincidental that X's built in translator and Babelfish.com translation did not work on this? Translate.google.com took awhile but did though at "It's a crime to have sex with a Chinese spy, Eric " Third time is a charm I guess.

    Anyone know of any solar motion lights with adjustable sensors?

    I've used Sunforce that I buy at Costco. The smaller light cam be pointed down and the larger two pointed to left and right to avoid blinding you when you drive up. https://www.costco.com/sunforce-solar-motion-activated-security-light.product.100731931.html

    Eclipse April 8th. 2024

    I still cannot get the camera to connect to youtube. This might be a coincidence but the camera dropped out at 1:10. At that time, I had gone into Synology surveillance station and started a lime lapse. Notice the first frame is at 13:10. Did I do this to myself? Would the synology kick out the...

    Eclipse April 8th. 2024

    I was so tied up with my Texas Camera, I didn't even walk outside here in Tampa to check. I did notice this morning that clouds were building up and there were an awful lot of chemtrails in the sky!
