    Bike Rider Falls in the Street

    I thought for sure she had hit her head on the pavement until carefully looking at the slow-mo. We never had helmets back in the day, but I do think they're a fine idea. That could have been a lot worse. My wife worked on the rehab department of the local hospital. It doesn't take much to...

    Yes! The watch/attack kitty was on the job! :)

    A Tale of Two Delivery Drivers...

    We usually have excellent service from all of the carriers. There's no good place to hide packages at our porch, perhaps I should build some sort of "hide" for them to use. Then again, we have never had anything stolen. The only problem I've had that I can remember is a few weeks back when...

    Cooler thief hit neighbors house

    Glad I'm not the only one who watches/listens to Bongino's podcasts! He's been about 2 years ahead of the more mainstream reporters at figuring out how a lot of the chicanery has gone down as regards trying to frame Trump, etc.

    Cooler thief hit neighbors house

    Hey. What if that cooler belonged to the truck guy. Maybe he was over partying with the folks who live there, brought beer for everyone, and then left the cooler there when he left so everyone could finish off the beer. Then, the friend called and said "Hey, I left your cooler over by the...

    My Doorbell "thief" (with audio)

    Did you notice that his accomplice, down below fled the scene, too?!! That's a great video.

    Burning & Exploding Car - Yes, really.

    You notice how the firemen do not approach the front or back of the car while it's burning. The 5MPH impact bumpers on modern cars have shock absorbers that go to the frame. Those shocks commonly explode, propelling the bumpers off at high velocity, which breaks a lot of legs. So they really...

    I can hear audio, but can't see any video.

    Lovely Neighbor

    There's no doubt in my mind that the silver car was speeding, and when they saw the white car backing out, they laid on the horn and braked to avoid a collision. And then they kept on the horn, probably annoyed that they had to slow down, and that the white car didn't change direction and pull...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    I saw several encouraging things yesterday. The people who re-tested positive for the antigen in Korea, after having recovered, have been found to NOT be infectious. It turns out that the PCR tests "see" non-viable virus fragments, so those re-infection or relapse worries are overblown or...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Something people could do to help would be to pick up groceries for at-risk people in their areas as well as for families with small kids. Without day care or school to keep the rug-rats occupied, moms and dads have no choice but to take the munchkins with them to the store, where they crawl on...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    They do it both ways at Sam's and WalMart. You can order for delivery or order for pick up. The problem is that if you want fresh or frozen items, you can't very well have them sent by UPS. So you at least have to go to the store. WalMart will have a person bring your order out to your car...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Obviously unless you have a full positive pressure, over-the-head external (or HEPA filtered) air source helmet/mask and suit, you can't stop 100% of any airborne particles or droplets. But a wearing your seatbelt isn't a 100% guarantee that you will be unhurt in any collision. No typical...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    And, there's this: Oh, and I wear exclusively N-95 rated underwear, so the farts are no problem! ;)

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Yes. And people taking advantage of the crisis to enrich themselves or to further unrelated agendas are the lowest! To me, a key point of "prepping" is to reduce the sudden "shock load" on the normal supply chain. Everyone has become familiar with the concept of "flattening the curve" as...

    A Sign of the Times

    I had a very valuable and theft-worthy package left by the USPS on our porch with no signature even though it was shipped "signature required". Then that same day another highly valuable "signature required" package came UPS, and I was awake and ready for that one. The UPS guy told me they...

    Where did these tires come from?

    Yeah. I watched that. She really worked hard picking them back up. One can only speculate as to where they went next. That guy ralphing on the street later was pretty amazing. Good volume and projection! But if I was walking with only one shoe on, I'd probably try to aim to the side as I...

    Where did these tires come from?

    Classy neighbors! I'd probably return them. And maybe not in a very careful way.

    Why do you have TWO cameras in one location.

    It's always best to run multiple cables to every location. Each camera should ideally have its own cable the whole run. If you have power available at the endpoint, though, and a place to put it, you could put a POE Ethernet switch at that end and then run separate shorter cables from there to...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Well, we already see this disaster being used by certain factions to try to push through their political agendas, and as with 9-11, a lot is apparently going to be done to erode our freedoms, potentially not only for now, but for the future as well. On the one hand, I can see the immediate...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Everyone should wear a mask. But if you managed to snag any masks before they were gone, you're an evil hoarder. Everyone should stay home for a few months, and not leave your house. But if you prudently stocked up on the essentials over the last years or even months, you're an evil hoarder...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Supposedly South Korea has had success by testing for both the antibodies AND the antigen. This way, they can see If someone is infectious or not, if they've already had it, or if they've currently got it. That allows quarantine only of those who can currently transmit the virus, protection of...

    Xmas porch pirate team 12/23

    She doesn't pick up the packages until she sees the getaway car right there, ready to pick her up, so that probably lessens her risk to some extent. Dirtbags! I hope they are both caught and effectively prosecuted.

    I want a "sort of new" laptop.

    Although I added more RAM and a bigger SSD to the one I got, probably pushing the total price up to where I may well have found a similar deal all at once, I'm still loving this thing, and very happy with the purchase. I like the high resolution screen, and love that it has the backlit...

    Increased FPS 25 on Dahua SD59225U-HNI smoothed auto tracking????

    That is a good find. And it shouldn't be surprising. If the frame rate we set not only sets the rate at which frames are compressed and streamed, but also sets the rate at which frames are captured by the camera and thus available to the camera's "brain" for use in performing tracking, then it...

    This is pretty cool, why don't we have this fully deployed in the states?

    They say they are looking for folks using cell phones with their surveillance system. So how does one call 901 to make a report without being caught on camera using your cell phone? I can just see it. Citizen A is calling to report Citizen B who is calling to report citizen A....

    Lazy Neighbor Pushes My Trash Can With His Truck / Caught On Video

    Luckily ours at home are some sort of heavy plastic. But I know what you mean! I work late nights, often well into the wee hours. I come home at 2 to 4 am, want to haul out my trash, but stage it in my garage until a more reasonable hour so I don't bug the neighbors. However, at work we have...
