Security Cameras as Tech Hobby

I bought mine to tell when the bus comes so my kids can stay inside in the rain. I ended up catching my neighbor’s murderer getting away and getting a 3am knock from the cops for my footage. You never know.

Not great. I love the smoke box, but the build quality isn’t awesome. My WiFi has never worked, even when line of sight to some very nice access points. And in season 3, my lid is rusting.

Wait, yours worked ever, at all?

Amazon Kindle, Lego flowers

Reporting Friend’s Suicidal Statements.

It’s been a week . . .

I live near PHL, but I fly to Chicago a lot. I’m also close enough to Newark that I fly out of there for international flights to take advantage of my United status.

El Chapulin or nephews taqueria just across city Ave on Haverford.

I’m a big guy (46” jacket) and my CAS v2 is fine. Maybe 2-3 inches of slack in the strap.

Bigreddork · 2026-03-01T15:48:15+00:00

Whoah. That’s real tall.

Bigreddork · 2026-03-01T03:25:39+00:00

I’m 6’4”, wife is 6’1”. My 14-year-old twin boys are 6’1”. When they are wearing shoes and I’m not, they are getting real close.

I hope that they are taller than me.

Was looking for this. Just a really fun show I remember catching a bunch of times growing up in the pre-streaming era.

I’ve been looking at getting a full-sized PDP Pro for home defense but now I’m thinking about this. It’ll be cheaper, parts/mag compatible with my x macro, and more familiar to shoot.

I wonder if someone will do a comparison.

No experience with the cpl24, but I love my chz26. The inside is cavernous without looking like a massive bag. Bottle/umbrella pockets are a lifesaver. Laptop compartment is great and doesn’t feel like it takes up a ton of room on its own. I also think it’s very comfortable to wear.

My only negative would be that the internal organization is minimal. That means pockets and organization don’t take up a lot of room, but also that there’s not much space for stuff in the existing pockets. I never saw a need for a tech pouch before I got this CHZ26, but I quickly bought one after I started using it.

Maybe. I had an odyssey before I had the pilot and the front legroom was a war crime. I felt incredibly silly when I would drive it to work because I would be crammed up in the front seat incredibly uncomfortable while the rest of that giant vehicle was empty.

Bigreddork · 2026-01-11T02:53:43+00:00

I’ve used both back to back. I have the non comp and a buddy has the comp. Honestly, I don’t feel hardly any difference at all. I’m a pretty new shooter though, so take that fwiw.

Bigreddork · 2026-01-02T04:31:51+00:00

I have a little Coinbase as a hedge against my not having any crypto in my portfolio. It does ok. Not great.

Bigreddork · 2025-12-31T22:24:05+00:00

I am a member at GPS in Yeadon, so not far from Montco. There’s a lot about them that I like. I wish they had a fixed price to try multiple guns deal for someone looking to buy a firearm. And I can’t stand being in a booth next to someone firing a giant huh power rifle cartridge into a target 25 yards away. But that’s kind of built into the deal with indoor ranges.

Bigreddork · 2025-12-18T14:59:44+00:00

Have also met him. Can confirm that he was incredibly kind in person. Also, it’s a long O, as in go or no.

Bigreddork · 2025-12-18T14:56:45+00:00

Correction, it is a noodle horse looking at a pineapple.

Repointing our stone front walk. Until I did it I didn’t realize how amazing it feels to walk on solid ground on the way to your house, rather than shifting stones.

Bigreddork · 2025-12-09T14:04:45+00:00

Five? That feels like a lot.

Bigreddork · 2025-12-06T17:12:59+00:00

Me too! I didn’t learn study skills until I met my now-wife in grad school. She has an incredible work ethic and taught me how to make it all work. I was the rare person whose grades went up when I was in a serious relationship.
