  • So i know this is just a joke, but I imagine the simulation limits one's options to those present in the room. If she wants to send someone more likely to survive, like Data, there would be a roadblock:

    • Not enough time to get there from the bridge
    • Site to site transporter is down
    • Spot ate Data's communicator badge
    • Data is commanding the saucer section in another sector
    • Data is on Risa hooking up with Sela

    Something limits the options to those in the room. Georgi is the most qualified, and time is short

  • Note: I realize the tone of my writing could sound judgemental, but I'm just trying to be informative and answer the question above ♥️

    Major utility/roadwork is being done. It's not just the sidewalk that's affected but also at least a lane of roadway. Likely the driveway to the road has a temporary gravel apron. Since this sidewalk has steps there's no need for temporary ADA accommodations, which the homeowner would have negotiated with the local governing body before construction began. So if they need to walk somewhere they either walk in the grass or cross the road to walk in that sidewalk, if it exists. You can see the sidewalk has been torn up along with the asphalt

    There should be more and better pedestrian access in the burbs. That being said, improvements happen in public easement, and it's not always convenient. For anyone

  • This was really interesting. Thank you OP!

    If you're not in a position to watch the video, the tl;dw: is that plant xylem cell structure allows water to pass but is too small for bacteria to pass, creating not just a large particle filter but a bacterial filter as well. Note that viruses can also pass

    There's lots more, he talks about a study on this, has the water tested for e-coli, and talks about some of the conditions that optimize this filtration method, asking other things. Go watch it if you can

  • Things that grind my gears but I don't comment on them because I don't want to be viewed as a pedantic twat:

    Anywho Lose/loose It's/its

    Driving behaviors:

    Breaking small rules like changing lanes on a solid line Tailgating Not going on a green Blocking the box

    Common courtesy:

    Is a smile and a thank you too much to ask?

  • Cabinet doors in part reduce the amount of dust that winds up on the contents of the cabinets, as well as other aerosol particulates like grease from cooking. Think about what the top of your range hood looks like if you don't clean it regularly.

    Of course that isn't a factor if you have a low dust environment and never cook in your kitchen

  • Regarding integration to a home network, well… I'm not up on residential stuff, so consider this a starting point

    If you're looking for a higher security keyway or a more durable lock, I'd go with a smart lock retrofit kit like August or Yale Approach. These will mount to an existing deadbolt inside the door and turn it into an electrified DB, but the outside remains unchanged. I will say Medeco has some interesting standalone deadbolt solutions, but they are geared for larger systems and commercial use.

    On the hardware side, you can't go wrong with a Schlage B250 with a Primus cylinder. Other options are the ASSA 7000 series, the Medeco Maxum, or the Mul-T-Lock Hercular. Add a reinforced strike plate, and, if your really worried, a door wrap for another layer of metal reinforcement on the door, and you're sitting pretty. Now the bad guys will take over look at your Fort Knox door, shake their heads in despair, and break a window instead.

  • Kwikset Obsidian

    No key, use a 9V battery on the exterior terminals if you get locked out because of a dead battery

    User codes 4-8 digits in length

    Smudge resistant touchscreen, sometimes annoying to activate

    Discontinued, but you can find them on Amazon

    Compatible with standard US deadbolt prep, no additional drilling required

    Has an automatic relock option, locks itself after 30 seconds. Just didn't forget, if you propped the door open for a minute, the bolt is extended. Don't mindlessly slam the door

    Because this doesn't have a keyway, I have no problem recommending this Kwikset. Kwikset Smartkey has gotten better, but still has vulnerabilities that I didn't like.

  • Locksmith here. What specifically are you looking for? I can tell you now, avoid Level, they are incredibly vulnerable to brute force attacks. I would also steer clear of any "Amazon" type smart locks. If it's not a major brand, it hasn't been vetted and there's little one can do as a consumer if it fails.

    I'll give more detailed recommendations depending on your needs, and pro/con of the options available that meet that need. Do you need:

    • A key override if batteries die?
    • (Or no key at all, ever?)
    • Internet connectivity/app integration?
    • Latch monitoring?
    • Price range?
