It would NOT be a capital place to hide in case of a bombardment, since it would surely be put into retaliate mode!

My local Costco actually moved some of the refrigerated sections around a couple weeks ago, which is still kind of shocking to me

Taping to the camera as shown on the left would be challenging to make work at least. The cameras don’t put out light so whatever image you use would have to be on paper thin and light enough for backlighting to work. The distortion that close would also be extreme, so you’d want to keep the main part of your image in the center and small. And yeah, it’d probably be blurry, but the resolution on most of those cameras was already pretty bad up until a few years ago so you might not notice.

The manufacturers were opposed to them being required. I think they claimed it would cost an extra $200-250 per car. But they sure won’t pass up on the ads if they think they can get away with it!

JAPANESE WARSHIPS OFF THE COAST OF BRITAIN!? ALL GUNS OPEN FIRE

Under diplomatic pressure, the Russian government agreed to investigate the incident, and Rozhestvensky was ordered to dock in Vigo, Spain, where he left behind those officers considered responsible (as well as at least one officer who had been critical of him) before leaving on 1 November.

That parenthetical statement does not surprise me at all

Do you think you’d be able to identify a given Gatorade’s color just by taste?

I’d be confident in the traditional 3 most common, fruit punch red, lemon-lime yellow, and orange.

Campbell’s Soup VP mocks ‘poor people’ who buy its food in secret recording

"Who buys our st? I don’t buy Campbell’s products barely anymore. It’s not healthy now that I know what the f‘s in it."

Maybe, I dunno, make it more healthful?

(English pedant peeve: food is not “healthy” or unhealthy; it’s healthful or unhealthful. Living things are healthy, nutrients are healthful. A state of health versus a beneficial quality.)

If they can’t sell fountain drinks because they don’t have water they shouldn’t be open at all because they also don’t have water in their hand wash sinks.

Is that this animal’s name in some languages? Or is that just how you helped yourself draw them? Or is it just a joke?

Reuse old security system

Jump

jqubed @lemmy.world 6d ago

It might be possible to upgrade the system but you’ll probably need to find someone who knows these systems better. There used to be a cover on this panel where the buttons and speaker are; that might’ve given a make or model number, or maybe even had a sticker for the company that installed or monitored the system. This is the control panel but there might be a hub/brain somewhere else where all the wires lead, perhaps in a closet or utility room. You might find more information there.

The system sounds like it’s functional; in most jurisdictions the sellers should have provided you with the information necessary to use the system, like alarm codes and contacts for a monitoring service (if any). If you get a code that might be all you need to use the system (you should change the previous owner’s code).

It’s possible to use the alarm without a monitoring service, but I feel like they’re more useful with a service. If there is a monitoring service they would be able to have someone come check out the system and reset the codes for you, show you how to use the system. Is there a sign in front of your house with the name of an alarm company?

This looks like a system old enough that it would probably need an actual telephone line for monitoring and uses wired sensors. Wired sensors are probably a good thing. The sensors don’t need batteries and aren’t vulnerable to jamming like wireless sensors. They’re more expensive to install, though, especially in a finished home. Since yours is already installed, that’s a boon. Most current systems are probably designed for wireless but I’m sure there there are ways to use the hardwired system with more modern systems and get features like remote access.

I got to visit the last time I went to see my dad’s side of the family in Oregon and I realized that the Pacific Northwest probably gives a pretty similar climate to much of Japan. I’ve never been to Japan but had moments where I felt like I was actually there.

USAians of Lemmy, how did you find your current medical provider?

Jump

jqubed @lemmy.world 6d ago

I got my primary care doctor from a family member recommendation. Most specialists I see are based on her recommendation (even if there’s not a formal referral). My wife has a less-common medical condition and found her primary care doctor from a local Facebook group for people with the condition where people were sharing doctors they’d had good experiences with.

I think that insurance I had in the past or currently has some sort of lookup for doctors in-network and people were able to leave reviews. I’ve actually had some success with that, trying to see from the reviews who I might jive with. I feel like I’ve had more success from talking with people and seeing if they like their doctor, though.
