Was there do the last tie game for Alabama and Tennessee. I don’t miss the Old Gray Lady.

Don’t worry about the heat.
Has a resident of the Deep South, be worried about the heat. We went mid July to Paris this year. Many places don’t have (good) AC and can be quite uncomfortable. We preferred being outside because at least there was air flow. Be very careful about your accommodations. The AirBnB we had had excellent ratings and advertised AC. Technically there was AC, but it was cooler outside at night and we had to leave the balcony doors open (a lot of street noise!). I would recommend staying at a non-boutique hotel that has reviews that speak to the AC being good.
Also those mentioning the heat of Rome - listen to them! We spent a day in the Dolomites and that was awesome, so the Alps would be great in July.
I’ve seen really good people get scammed at low points in their life. I’m about there with you.
Regardless of the purpose they were intended for, you are legally required to have one and can be fined without it.
Just got one yesterday from the local AAA office. Very easy and fast. I don’t plan on renting a car but wanted options. You never know if there will be a strike, etc.

Neither of those are “slim straight”. There used to be 513s which were true slim straights. That’s what I always bought for a decade or longer but they discontinued them. Smh.
Yes 513s fit me the best. Why did they discontinue them?
re: 12 night trip to Italy planned by chat gpt. Give me your thoughts

There are tours from Rome to Positano and Pompeii in the same day. We were thinking of going that route given the limited time. I realize more days are better, but wouldn’t it be worth seeing even if briefly?

I know someone who travelled up there for that game because it was much cheaper than going to a home game.

What do you think my ender-3 is worth? $100?
I just chunked mine. I couldn’t bring myself to put that on a beginner when an A1 mini can be purchased for $180.

Windows: blue iris. One time $60. Can be up and running quickly. Has a good bit of customizing options. It's worth the cost.
One caveat is that if you use push notifications (at least for iOS) you have to keep the service agreement with them. Kind of ruined the pay once benefit for me. Also was a pain to all of the sudden have push notifications quit without warning.
I was looking for one about a month ago and it’s tough finding them on sale. Looks like Best Buy or Apple are about your best choice. Everyone wants to sell with a plan. If you want to roll dice with refurb you can get better deals. I didn’t want to deal with a potentially off brand battery or screen.

Landline. Landline audio is much better than cellular which is compressed to death.
I’m my opinion, the most impactful thing a president does.
Makes two. Gary knew football and they both made the game more exciting. I don’t get the hate.
re: What light bulbs have you found to be the best?

I would stick with the higher end name brands. I’ve gone cheap and those fail fairly quickly. I don’t think I’ve ever had the good stuff fail.
The M12 line I great for small stuff like drills and impacts. You aren’t really stepping down in power and have a lighter/compact tool.
The new M12 3/8 stubby impact wrench has crazy torque for its size.

I’ve recently been buying Milwaukee. Great deals can be found at Home Depot and I really like the M12 for smaller tools.
re: Bambu Lab P1S - 3D Printer

I came from an Ender 3 v2 to the P1S as well. That thing is a game changer to the point where other people in the family use it now and I have to battle it out on getting my turn. 3D printing went from a hobby for people that like to tinker to something anyone in the house can use. It was eventually going to happen and Bambu Lab did it.
re: Been a little while - Would y'all please indulge me on the newest Home Camera Systems?

Reolink seems to have a 100 different camera types.
I was hoping someone would reply to my earlier post concerning their human/vehicle detection version of the cameras. I bought mine before that was an option and am not happy with the lack of options for fine tuning triggering. I have a hard time balancing nuisance trips vs not triggering at all.
I have the RLC-520A for outside which was great when I was using Blue Iris. Now I would recommend something like the RLC-820A (4K with human/vehicle detection). You need to make sure you have a DVR that can handle 4K.
Anyone with that setup that can speak to how well it works?
