    New vehicles are crap and private equity groups are the reason

    Every modern item made in the world today is made from some parts that, you guessed it, were made from petroleum products. Yeah, but we need to "Just stop oil". Do any these idiots know that the Iphone they have, or any other device is built with petroleum products? Can't have a power grid...

    You can still buy used cars that are equipped with carburetors.

    And he doesn't know how to use a parking brake. One of these times the parking pin will shear, and the vehicle will roll away on him

    I recall you mentioning something to that effect. But I don't think it will happen as the market would be limited for a camera of that price As far as the lighting, overcast gives a more uniform light. Yes, sun gives more contrast and the image appears sharper, but at times can be too contrasty...

    I like it. I was worried the 2MP sensors wouldn't capture enough detail, but they do fairly well

    As I mentioned, this could be a good candidate for the dark intersection on the southeast corner of our property. I'd like to have a tight shot to recognize objects but would also like an overview as to not miss anything. I was originally going to use the B54IR-Z4E I have at this location, but...

    Just a reminder PSA

    If even a small portion of what is mentioned here is true, that's scary. To think they can write laws to absolve parties and individuals connected to the financial system as well as make the information unobtainable, is downright worrying

    I'd be curious to know how that works and if you can connect to one port on an NVR and configure for 3 channels And of course how its done

    Ok, maybe I'm missing it, but I am trying to get a hookup diagram on getting 3 channels out of a single RJ-45 connector. Is it possible to connect this camera directly to an NVR or does it require an external switch?

    Because it's the most desirable properties? Bragging rights? The view? They need a new home? Or their just filthy rich and don't care? Probably all of the above

    Here's another thing. If the climate was in such crisis, why don't those with money or power participate in curbing emissions? Why are airlines still able to operate unabated? Why can't meeting be held remotely, similar to ZOOM instead of flying all over the fuckin world to do a handshake and...

    And they love to keep adding new twists and turns just when you become familiar with the operation. This includes websites and services as well. I use Shipstation for shipping (obviously) and they are constantly changing or adding steps to the process. What you did today, could be a totally...

    Unfortunately, it becomes the driver's responsibility as they are considered independent contractors by the third-party logistics company. Good luck suing the drivers for reimbursement as they have no means to pay for it.

    It's called being lazy. They are NOT supposed to drive into the driveway, too much liability. This guy did not want to walk up and then back down the long driveway

    And just another tidbit to add. There are many NATURAL sources of CO2 gas being released on a daily basis that make human generated CO2 look like a drop in the ocean. Antartica is one such area that produces a lot of CO2 emissions. These "Climate experts" can go fuck themselves. Look below the...

    Good question. Imagine how long it would take capture an image - "Hold on, don't move, I'll tell you when" or to "re-draw" the image from cassette tape.

    New vehicles are crap and private equity groups are the reason

    It's not just about the EPA ratings as my 2024 with the 4-cylinder turbo gets worse mileage than my previous 2022 with a V6. It's mostly about the money - period

    Wish I would have kept my 2022 Tacoma and my 2007 Tacomas. I'm a big fan of 2005 - 2015 second gen Tacomas. Great 4.0-liter V6 with 5 speed trans which were bullet proof

    New vehicles are crap and private equity groups are the reason

    Unfortunately, it doesn't mean much lately. They redesigned the 4runner (now 5th gen) and it's still made in Japan, but it shares the same issues as the new 4th gen Tacoma with the same drivetrain, frame and body components. It's pure crap. I would never buy another new Tacoma. If anything, I...
