re: Aren't LSU people ashamed to be associated with this guy?
Posted by Joshjrn on 7/14/26 at 8:26 am to Deadmanshand
I wouldn’t want to associate with him personally or professionally, but considering that every major university has alumni who have committed massive scams, rapes, and/or murders, I’m not exactly going to lose sleep over an alum being a shitty slumlord :lol:

I agree, but I've seen enough "privacy breaches" to be more comfortable with something closed circuit. Not only that, but it's one less thing that breaks when the internet is out
I understand. With that said, my internet never goes out, so it's nice not being tied to a single monitor. I'm sitting at my desk at the office and just loaded up the app to watch my boy sleep for a few seconds. Making sure I use a unique password for the app is worth it to me, but I appreciate I'm paying for the access with a little extra diligence on my part :cheers:

You're right. The scum of the earth and crackheads that live off Valley St. would never walk the couple hundred yards down the RR tracks over there to that area to murder you for your cellphone or wallet at 1:00 a.m. Carry on.
I'll keep carrying on; you keep being terrified :lol:

Phew, you're stronger than me. I sat outside at Duvic's for maybe 15 minutes yesterday and basically died. And it wasn't even sunny.
Duvic's isn't my normal stomping ground; what does their outside space look like? During the summer, solar gain becomes a massive consideration. So somewhere like BLDG5 with wood decking and tree canopy will be significantly cooler than somewhere like Beausolei with concrete and umbrellas.

Not connected to the Internet so there's no hacking.
While I appreciate why people have concerns about this in theory, the reality is that no one has an incentive to actually try to "hack" your baby monitor. Practically everyone claiming to be "hacked" was probably using an unsecured wifi network or an obviously basic app password. Reminds me of all of the people claiming their facebook was "hacked" when they actually fell for a phishing scam :lol:
Have a decent, not used elsewhere password for your wifi network. Have a decent, not use elsewhere password for your app. Anyone who does that will be just fine.

The video is really not that important, unless this is to spy on the babysitter. For monitoring a baby the sound is more important.
Kinda. My boy is a noisy sleeper. It's nice being able to tell, with him in near pitch darkness, whether he's just making noise or whether he's waking up.

re: Best Baby Monitor

First thing you need to figure out is whether you want local closed loop (camera and monitor only connect to one another on their own private network) or whether you want something WiFi enabled. That’s a rabbit hole in and of itself. Once you’ve decided that, we can help a bit more.

I've eaten at BLDG5, Colonel's Club, and Kalurah Street Grill easily dozens, if not pushing a hundred times. Somehow, I'm not only still alive, but I've never been in the least bit troubled by anyone. I must be the luckiest motherfricker on the planet, according to some of you :lol:

It’s unrealistic. How many days a year would people be able to sit outside and enjoy the weather like that?
Depends on the person, but more than you think. Assuming it's not raining, I'm comfortable sitting outside for meals, without fans or heaters, a solid 8 months out of the year. And that's for an hour, hour and a half long meal. If I'm in the sun during winter or the shade during summer, I would say 10ish months for a quick 15-30 minute "get some fresh air" break.
I like that the rendering has a couple casually strolling on top of what is clearly a decal indicating that this is a running path, not a walking path :lol:

What limitation does Weight of the vehicle cause? I've never once in the 2 years thought about weight as an issue.
People who drive trucks and SUVs that are heavier than EV passenger cars like to clutch their pearls about EV passenger cars weighing more than ICE passenger cars. After a couple of decades of watching 5’2” women driving empty Suburbans, it’s fricking hilarious to me :lol:
I kicked the PT a half decade or so back, but other than that, no, I’ve never had the inclination to leave the rest of the site.
Started audiobook 2. I like Mordecai’s new voice much better than his old one. Carl’s “action voice” appears to be toned down as well, which is nice. While I appreciate their adding a sound to indicate chat, I’m not sure how I feel about the sound they chose. It’s not bad in a vacuum, but it’s a lot when strung together over and over :lol:

That’s… an interesting camo pattern. Almost looks like a dried lakebed. In what kind of terrain were they intended to be operational?

The sentiment has an older history than that, but Rahm gets the credit for popularizing it again, especially with the “good crisis” framing you’ll sometimes see.

Is the weird hair a symptom of the game using engine-generated lighting instead of baked in lighting? Seeing this more and more with games.
I haven’t played this, but generally speaking, hair issues are due to the fact that hair is no longer a singular asset, but instead has a bunch of individual, extremely thin assets. If you are running an upscaler, it tends to utterly frick that up, making the hair look awful. As you mentioned, it’s become annoyingly common in the last few years. Honestly, I wish games would give an option to turn off dynamic hair.
re: Shoes off in the house ?
Posted by Joshjrn on 7/12/26 at 10:05 am to TurdAndChavis
We aren’t neurotic about it (if I realize I forgot something after my shoes are on, I’m not taking them back off to go grab it), and we don’t ask guests to take off their shoes, but yes, we are generally shoes off. Unless you’re the type of person who would willingly walk barefoot everywhere, it’s hard to “unsee” that it’s a little gross to track all of that back into the house, to then walk around barefoot later.
