the spyder posted:I use Ubiquiti's DVR with these: https://www.ubnt.com/unifi-video/unifi-video-camera-g3/ and https://www.ubnt.com/unifi-video/unifi-video-camera-micro/ I really like Ubiquiti stuff (I have 2 UAP's at home) and bet their cameras are also good but these are £150 over here and I cant find any sample images or a way of testing the app. Nor have I yet managed to work out if I can just record onto a server running the unifi video software rather than having to use the NVR because their documentation is poo poo. Can you share some nighttime shots from yours?

I can get a 2 camera wired swann system and an additional wireless camera for about £200-250, that'll probably do me. Going to have a chat with my neighbors so they don't feel I'm taking liberties tomorrow.

InitialDave posted:I'm tempted by the "Kare" systems on Amazon. Other than a certain amount of "these instructions are definitely from China", reviews seem good. I have a CTEK, and it's done a fine job so far. I like the interchangeable ends. Handy for attaching a set of ring terminal leads to your bike battery, for example. I mainly got it for the reconditioning and float features.

Will you get in trouble if you put a big piece of chicken wire in the middle of the door connected to an electric fence transformer, so if someone cuts through again they get lit up? I figure that would give any return customers a bit of a wakeup call that they should look elsewhere.

John Surtees, the only person who has won a world championship in both a Formula One car and 500cc bike, has passed away at the age of 83. Shows how tough they were racing open wheelers in the 60s: quote:On 25 September 1965, Surtees had a life-threatening accident at the Mosport Circuit (Ontario, Canada) whilst practising a Lola T70 sports racing car. A front upright casting had broken. A.J. Baime in his book Go Like Hell says Surtees came out of the crash with one side of his body four inches shorter than the other. Doctors set most of the breaks nonsurgically, in part by physically stretching his shattered body until the right-left discrepancy was under an inch – and there it stayed.

kastein posted:An electric fence doesn't kill or actually harm anyone Ummmm......... yeah I'm not so sure about that, especially the harm bit. nm posted:This gets you in trouble in the us. I beleive that this is in some ways legal in Aust with the proper warnings in place and built to regulations. Electric fences are also legal in a suburban situation as long as they built to local regulations. As an aside, a good way to make sure a fence isnt live is use a straw of paspalum or whatever other stalk grass you might have and use that to touch the fence first. It'll tickle but a good deal less than the back of the hand method. Which is of course a HELL of a lot better than just grasping a live fence.

nm posted:See, Minnesota was enough winter for me. At least there i could drive on lakes. My older sister has lived in the Bay Area her whole post college life (we grew up in Iowa). She moved out there with two friends from college and they've all stayed there and all ended up buying houses there eventually. First friend had a law degree and bought in 1997 and he got a really awesome 3 story Victorian in a nice neighborhood for 500k. Second was my sister with a STEM degree and in 2001 she got a kinda crappy two story but in a decent neighborhood and with a really nice lot (with a mother in law cottage in the backyard) for 500k. Third was in 2005 and had a sociology type degree and she got a shoe box with a recent double murder within a 1 block radius for 500k. And of course it rapidly lost ~50% of its value with the crash.

ilkhan posted:AWD is for rain, not dirt. Weather tolerance is still a little bizarre to me. My older sis has lived in CA for 25 years so I understand that she needs to wear a winter jacket and knit cap whenever the temp dips below 64. But my mom lived in Iowa for 50 years and then CA for 8 years and now she lives in Reno and bitches endlessly when it snows more than 3/4 of an inch. And on the opposite end of the spectrum in Juneau AK as soon as it's 45+ degrees and sunny you'll literally see old guys riding around on Harleys and teens walking around wearing shorts and tank tops. Everything is relative I guess.

So the friend that died a few weeks ago.. his dad told me today they think he had a heart attack. Autopsy is still pending of course, but heart issues run in their family, and I remember him telling me he had been diagnosed with high blood pressure but didn't want to take meds. 37 years old. e: welp, not even an hour later the person who found him got ahold of me.. he was found with a needle in his arm. Damnit. Enourmo posted:FHP is what everyone I know calls em, no real special name for them. I dunno, Michigan has a pretty classic look beep-beep car is go posted:What do you guys call the State Police? Most people in Texas call them state troopers, but I'll use the term staties occasionally. Which confuses the poo poo out of a lot of Texans. Highway patrol is sometimes used, but they have jurisdiction state-wide, and on parts of the Dallas North Tollway, they're the only officers who have jurisdiction of any kind. They're also part of DPS, so just saying DPS will get the point across too. Clear as mud, right? randomidiot fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Mar 11, 2017 |

Our security fence around the compound at work in the northern suburbs of Adelaide punches out about 12KV.. its not designed to stop someone touching it, its designed to incapacitate someone climbing it. Your average electric cow fence maxes out at about 6kv. I do know it leaves nice burn marks on the trailers when someone backs one up too far and earths it out, and that it has ZERO problems with earthing out through the rubber tyres into bitumen.
