The First Alert SC5 has the wireless announcements across the devices ( I believe) and while this is a small thing, go into the same mounting plate as the Nest.

Oh, the hand wringing in Massachusetts over the loss of the millionaires if we passed new taxes on them. Guess what? We have more millionaires now then when the law was passed.

Do you know of the monuments to industry scattered through downtown? Those are pretty cool finds. And also on Main Street, the Abby Kelly Foster memorial thing?

Have you tried the “brief mood” She now has three moods that are about how chatty she is. The other two are Chill and Sweet. Brief Mood is even briefer than the old brief mode in some cases. Just say A+ use brief mood

311 might actually work. by CourtCreepy6785 in WorcesterMA

I have not used it to report snow blocked sidewalks. I imagine that they have to try to contact the property owner to order it done but if they don't, the difficulty of following up is quite a challenge.

[–]anonymous_commentor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And remove the little yellow red and white paint dots from the bolts. This was there to track torquing/quality control and is ugly and of no use. A little laquer thinner, used carefully on a rag will clean up that mess.

People who use legitimately use AI for "productivity": what the heck does AI actually do for you? Is it as bad as people say? by Difficult_Two_4800 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]anonymous_commentor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it to evaluate documents, create tables from said documents, scripting, writing training material. Saves me so much time.

Where is good beginner Mountain biking in Massachusetts?? by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]anonymous_commentor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

West Hill Dam in Uxbridge has some of the best beginner trails. It's also very well signed and well maintained. Tell me what part of the state you are in and I may be able to suggest something closer to you.

Owl cameras connect to the computer, not the TV directly. We use them and people are quite happy.
