Are you sure that your water supply won’t install a PFAS/PFOS removal system in the next few years? If they do then your investment will have been for naught. It took my town’s supply about two years to get a system installed and running.

Yes. I have one in my refrigerator that is NSF rated to remove lead. Our tap water is good quality, but our house is 100 years old, so I’m a little bit concerned about lead from the pipe solder.

Well, puns are the quintessential dad crime.

Perhaps I’m ashamed to admit that there’s no crime in asking.

Do the cameras just connect to a switch with PoE?

I didn’t get any useful results: https://www.google.com/search?q=ads&client=firefox-b-1-m&sca_esv=53e635cf3415af69&sxsrf=ADLYWIIAB2th1yj3NI30yN5dPzwZxnRn-Q%3A1736132054847&ei=1kV7Z8ikM6rU5NoPv-rvuAM&oq=ads&gs_lp=EhNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwIgNhZHNItiBQ3wxY1g9wAngBkAEAmAFjoAFjqgEBMbgBA8gBAPgBAZgCAaACdsICDxAjGIAEGCcYigUYRhj5AcICChAAGIAEGEMYigXCAg4QLhiABBixAxjRAxjHAcICCxAuGIAEGLEDGIMBwgIIEC4YgAQYsQPCAg4QABiABBixAxiDARiKBZgDAIgGAZIHAzAuMaAHxQ0&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp

Around here in New Jersey, yes. People typically replace their doorbell switches with camera devices from Google or Amazon. People even set them up at their apartment doors. Dedicated NVR systems are also commonly installed in houses. In my case, I am not especially concerned about break-ins. Break-ins are rare in my neighborhood and I don’t think a camera system would do much to prevent one anyway. There have just been some nuisances over the past year including my bird feeder camera getting swiped and someone repeatedly letting their dog poop right next to my house without cleaning it up. I’d like to be able to have recordings of problems like that so I can maybe do something about it. Also, I like the idea of being able to check on things when I’m away.

Thanks!

I also have dog. Lots of great features exclusive this platform, but it has a few shortcomings as you mentioned.

If you haven’t checked it already, the vent valve on the radiator might be closed or worn out.

You might also have a radiator that’s getting hotter more quickly than the rest. You can adjust it’s vent valve to vent air more slowly (or replace the valve with a slower one) to give your colder radiators more time to warm up before the thermostat stops calling for heat.

Steam radiator?

If anyone was planning on giving @[email protected] something nice for Christmas, they can give it to me instead.

I have also observed that women tend to be messier than men, but keep in mind that it only takes one person to ruin a bathroom. Also, I can’t say that it doesn’t have more do with cultural, regional, or generational factors than sex or gender.

Okay, but what’s the space version of the Boo Box?

Bake some cookies. Apart from that, maybe find some colorful wall art and rugs. How about painting the wall behind the sink a fun, warm color to break up all the white?

I like your kitchen very much, btw.

Yeah, but who cares about the camel? How are you going to move all this straw now?

Thank you!
