I’m looking for a simple camera to set up inside the house. We have a tree and raccoons crawl up the thing at night. I want to look at them. Is there something without a ton of frills, connect 1 or two cameras, no subscription services, decent picture, can keep maybe 2-4 days (through a SD card?), maybe live view too? Am I asking too much for this magical product?

I've recently installed a Reolink camera at my house. It's got its flaws. The AI person detection can't handle the camera being angled down 45°. Sudden extreme changes in light level make the video and audio hang for two seconds, which is absurd. Maybe that doesn't matter if you're looking at raccoons? The app works well enough and you get a live view as well as a look at recordings on an optional sd card. It's not in your face about entirely optional cloud services. I've not used the app on the go and so far all internet access it has required is a time server. I'm not too enthousiastic about it as a security camera. But the benefit over a trail cam in this situation (where supposedly there is wifi or somehting) is you don't need to open it up and retrieve the sd card to see what's on it. A model with optical zoom would help you frame exactly what you want to look at. Be aware that any integrated led or infrared light will be uselessly reflected in the window if you place the camera indoors.

Oh man, those look like way overkill for what I imagined it for. I actually live in a city, but there are raccoons and coyotes around occasionally. I want to look at those raccoons chilling and poo poo.

What non-plant derived sorts of denatured spirits exist? I am asking because I saw a sign raising questions answered by the sign. On a bottle of spirits was a sign that it was made from plant-derived sources.

Pretty much any organic molecule manufactured is a petrochemical in origin if it's not specified where else it may have come from. Ethanol (which I think you're referring to) can easily be made from ethylene in crude oil, especially in non-food grade applications.

Just as energy drinks over here has branched out and have different concentrations of caffeine and also can sizes, they also started labelling the caffeine content as a percentage. How does this work? I'm looking at a particular can that has both right now. The content is labelled as 75 mg per 250 ml serving, and 0.32% caffeine by mass. Now 250 ml of water weighs 250000 mg and 0.32% of that is 80 mg. Which is close but not the same. Does the percentage take into account differences in the weight of the drink when it it isn't pure water? But if it does account for say dissolved sugar than shouldn't the same amount weight more than pure water? i.e. I couldn't get to the extra 5 mg by accounting for differences in mass/ml as it would be higher not lower, presuming it's the specific content listing of 75 mg which is correct.

They were two products that basically did the same thing that got bought by the same company and eventually everyone decided flash was the better one. There was a moment where the brand was “Shockwave Flash” to piggyback on shockwave initially being more famous, but that didn’t last. dupersaurus fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Apr 6, 2024 |

At a guess and relying on 30 year old high school chemistry, wouldn't the different molar weights of the various substances besides water affect that? You're equating mg and ml which is fine for distilled water but all the sugar, taurine, vitamins, caffeine, etc that are added must change that 1 ml = 1 mg calculation.

This is what I'd suspect too- there's actually, physically more or less stuff in the can if it's not just water and that alters the percentages. Think about it as if you filled the can with sand and 1% of that was some other powder, vs if you filled the can with pebbles and 1% of that was some other thing. The sand and the pebbles would vary in terms of what 100% by mass means, and so would the 1%.

Winkey+Shift+S Then click and drag, or select the “snip window” or “snip screen” button. Although I don’t recall if snip screen takes both monitors? I find clicking and dragging to be the best solution 90% of the time. The image ends up in the clipboard so you can just ctrl+v it into paint or whatever E: never mind, sounds like it isn’t working for you the way you want it to

Might accomplish what you're trying to do.

If we go by what's on the can, the specific weight of the whole liquid should be 0.9375, which is weird, because what is going to be in there that's lighter than water to throw off the average that much? The specific weight of coca cola is supposedly 1.06 mg/ml.
