Two doorbells are operational. My house is made with a very thick stone walls with plaster and metal lath walls that are at about 3/4" thick on each side of the true dimensional lumber studs. It is extremely difficult to near impossible to get aWiFi signal to penetrate the walls. Ubiquity to the rescue! Ordered this Power Over Ethernet, Indoor/Outdoor Access Point on Monday. It arrived today. https://store.ui.com/collections/unifi-network-wireless/products/unifi-ac-mesh-ap [image: UAP-AC-M_Front_grande.png?v=1582627129] Until now, I was not getting reliable video feeds from either doorbell. I installed The AP on the side of the house so one antenna is visible to the front door, and the other is visible to the porch door. Both cameras are now transmitting in real-time at 1600x1200. The front door camera has already gone into Infra-Red mode here. [image: 2021-04-15-19-51-57-Live-View-QEMS-DMP.png] Porch Pirates Beware! lol We have never had a problem with such things. The two doorbells are using a Honeywell wireless adapter to activate a distinct chime sound for each. So, they actually function as a doorbell. lol. We haven't had a doorbell for almost 20 years. Now we have two with cameras, speakers, microphones, night vision, motion detection... Big brother Mark is watching...

Great stories!!!

@mik said in Be careful how you display your art...: In a way it is quite appropriate given that JonOne grew up a graffiti artist, painting on other people's property. His anger betrays a certain lack of self-awareness. Like the others, I agree. Kind of funny

@renauda said in Mr. Biden has been warned.: @jolly I doubt that Trump's infamous unpredictability acted to moderate or as a credible deterrent to Putin's policies in Ukraine or Syria. I don't know. I think I would have been wary, if I was Putin.

My dad's uncle was a navigator in WW1 - killed in France in August 1918. Last time I was visiting my mum I found letters from him my dad had hidden away, and some photos, along with a lock of his hair my grandmother kept. The letters were real Boy's Own stuff - 'Bagged another Hun on Sunday..' kind of thing. I really need to get them digitized.

Sure, I'll play silly bugger too: https://tass.com/politics/1278353

@mik Thanks, Mik. We love that kind of food.

But, Trump.

@loki said in "Snowpiercer": @george-k said in "Snowpiercer": I really don't understand the "critical acclaim" this movie got. Great cast (Ed Harris, William Hurt, Tilda Swenson), but a ridiculous storyline and hackneyed characters. All true but I enjoyed it for unquantifiable reasons. I can’t remember anything anymore except that I liked it. The setting was cool. A train holding the last of civilization. The punishment of the guy having to hold his arm out the window and then get it smashed. Pretty cool. The reveal of the insects as food, not very cool. Ed Harris at the end, pretty cool. Overall, I was ambivalent towards the movie, but it was just over the threshold of being watchable.

There is a list of other similar movies at youtube, those are some pretty good movies.

They must time stamp the delivery and now they expect you to get it earlier in the day. It’s the algorithm probably should include the time on the notices.

Is local better? Up until recently, yes. Tom Brady's replacement reminds me a bit of the new Captain America. The uniform doesn't seem to quite fit, and he's a bit shite.

The most frustrating part is having to switch providers. I am sick of this whole thing where you sign up for a one year contract at $40, then at the end of the contract your price is $90, unless you threaten to leave, then the price is $75. In the meantime, new clients get $40. No loyalty to pre-existing customers, it's all about getting them to switch. So if that's the game, then that's the game. See you in 24 months, Verizon...
