    Nine minutes in is what you want to see.

    Pretty scary though.

    Meh, they're just trying to make you feel better about the rolling blackouts incoming.

    Im fine with blackouts. Charcoal or gas, good insulation, and the pond is there if i need to take a dip. Already have my water jugs for cooking or flushing. And 15 gallon jugs in case any of my neighbors need em.

    No shit! I was just looking at rewiring our alarm and sticking it in the data closet with everything else, like, 10 days ago. Now I got the conduit in I'd posted about a month or two ago, I'm ready to go.

    I'd finally settled on the Ring Alarm system, but was choking on the price a little knowing I'd be buying 12v->5v stepdowns for the panels, 4c/22awg, glassbreaks, and a retrofit kit to use my old door/window contacts. They had it $50 off 1o days ago. Login this morning ... $120 off.

    Sold. Bought! Sadly that just buried me in 4-6 hours of cabling this weekend as a result, so no truck work.

    Well, Ring is pretty cool and you likely know how to keep the Russians out of your bedroom. I call it a win!

    I’ve been trapped in a slot canyon during a crazy flood, we had high ground but had to wait two days to hike back out, thru the river itself. My buddies dad was waiting for us at the trailhead with samiches and beers and drinks, a very welcome sight

    I mean, that future won't happen if certain people can get past their superficial urges and take their dollar elsewhere...

    All of the manufacturers - Toyota included - are hovering around like buzzards over a carcass waiting for anything that remotely resembles a green light to go all-in.

    That camp is your local prequel to Star Trek, have the kids read this before you go.

    I'd encourage any American to read it. The stuff they gloss over in American History class.
