It is hit or miss. Most of the time it works great. Every now and then it is unreliable. I wouldn’t go head first into it on a brand new house, sinking a bunch of money all at once. I wold buy an item or two and then see what works and what doesn’t.

Most of the time, it’s not. However, I like that Nest would tell me my usage for the month, compared to last year. I also liked being able to turn on/off the HVAC when I was away, if I had forgotten. If we had been on vacation for a week in the middle of July, being able to turn the A/C back on when we were a few…

That’s cool. You don’t have to like home automation. But hopefully you can respect that other people do. Because I’m sure you aren’t implying that your hobbies and interests are better than other people’s hobbies and interests?

Don’t you know? You’re only allowed to have interests that they think are worthwhile.

If our credit is as important as it truly is, I don’t understand why the credit freeze option isn’t the default setting? I think it should automatically be frozen. If someone wants to pull my credit, they come to me and I give them permission. Then we don’t have this problem.

Got an alert this past Saturday that someone tried to charge almost $3k worth of purchases on our credit card. Luckily the CC company was all over it before I even saw it. It may be just a coincidence, but I had wondered if it was connected to the hack.

Maybe things have changed in the years since I graduated. I guess it could also depend on our definition of “liberal” and “conservative”.

It isn’t a conservative student body. Pretty balanced, if not more liberal, in my opinion. At least it was when I was there.

Of all the things to hate Trump Admin. for, this is not one of them. If we aren’t careful we will become tired of reporting every little typo and we will be limp when the big stuff actually hits.

I’m not asking this in a snarky way...I truly am asking: What is your problem with Youtube?

I’m old, so I may not count, but I am a cordcutter and rely on Youtube as my main source of entertainment. I’m not sure that one particular channel’s troubles will affect my interest in viewing other channels. That PDP guy has had several 2nd chances, and this may be the straw that broke the camels back. …

I think it is harder to get started with keepass. I downloaded it a few weeks ago and looked it over. The UI turned me off and I put it on the shelf until I have time to study how to use it.

I’ve heard the fire ant rafts can be sunk with soapy water. Someone needs to get out there and spray those ants. They aren’t native and should be destroyed.

I never used the desktop app for Drive (I guess I wasn’t alone since they are doing away with it). I always went to the site and started and ended everything there. Also, the only photos I take are on my phone, which backs up to Drive automatically.

It depends on who you talk to. My grandmother was a longtime English teacher and she was always trying to break us of the habit of pronouncing them the same.

Dude who takes a punch to the top of the head looks like he can rough some people up. I admire his restraint.

Hmm, if he was really interested in arresting people wouldn’t he keep quiet about his plans and that way no one would think there is a risk in coming to the shelters?

I totally agree. But not many people care about long term costs, just how much does it cost today.

Stick houses are cheaper. Having said that, more and more new construction seems to be going to concrete block.

Heartbreaking.
