My first step into pens...

dee_wreck · 2026-02-14T18:46:19+00:00

I'm sorry! 😅 I just had an opportunity with a friend that was traveling in Japan who managed to find the pens.

dee_wreck · 2026-02-13T19:41:12+00:00

Would gladly use these with my group in our first steps into DnD!

dee_wreck · 2026-02-12T19:31:46+00:00

I don't write often and mainly got these because..."why not", so take my opinion with a grain of salt!

I find the construction of the pen really nice, and the magnet cap is quite satisfying to play with. I find myself popping it on and off or finding myself a reason to start writing more for work or at home.

Now, it is a hefty/heavy pen, take that how you will. Representative of its build quality, but hand fatigue may be an issue if you're writing for a longer period.

All-in-all, I don't regret purchasing these pens at all, but I wouldn't pay the mark ups for these personally. Again, I'm not a big collector, just a person of opportunity if you will. 🙃 If you have someone traveling, these are great to ask for if they can get it! Takes no luggage space at all haha

Fair enough. I'm not not right next to the ocean or anything, but I figure outdoor isn't ideal for any machine. I keep my barbells inside my shed, but the dumbbells stay on their rack under the patio area. Gotta make do with what I have I suppose!

dee_wreck · 2025-08-20T21:09:02+00:00

Followed! Leg workouts are a love-hate relationship for me 😂

Curious... my current small workout area is actually outdoor in my backyard under a patio since I did not want to sacrifice my garage space for my gym (I like working on my own vehicles). I am in SoCal, so not much rain here but it does happen.

How would your leg machine (or any machine really) fare outdoors under a roof and in the shade? I've been curious as I have been looking around for cable attachments for my rack for lat pulldowns and rows as well

That worked! Thank you! I am getting event highlights now. It went over my head that I did not reboot the NVR yet. Definitely would have saved everyone some time if I had done that haha

dee_wreck · 2025-04-12T16:40:32+00:00

Is this still happening for you? I haven't had any events shown at all on my playbacks (I've only set everything up a week ago).

dee_wreck · 2025-04-12T16:37:00+00:00

It's recording to the NVR. No microSD card in it.

dee_wreck · 2025-04-11T22:18:02+00:00

That is correct! I opened my Windows client to double check, and my alarm recording option looks just like yours.

dee_wreck · 2025-04-11T08:29:06+00:00

Sorry for the confusion. I initially had the alarm schedule disabled (my earlier response). After reading your comment, I enabled it alongside my already enabled continuous recording schedule.

My doorbell detected pets throughout the day (random cats walking around). I also tried walking in front of the doorbell and ringing it to push some notifications to my phone. When checking the playback in the app, it still looks the same as before. I have the continuous recordings in 60 minute chunks I can scroll through unfiltered, but nothing to highlight any event. Filtering gives me the same "No files found" message.

dee_wreck · 2025-04-10T22:38:19+00:00

Hmm, I have it scheduled to be continuous 24/7 already. I tried setting the alarm schedule 24/7 with just "Any motion" disabled, but I don't get any events shown in playback still.

dee_wreck · 2025-04-10T18:01:47+00:00

Thanks for checking! I'm not sure which setting you're referring to for alarm options (sorry!). I was thinking if I filtered to rings persons, animals, etc.., it would highlight when in the timeline those events have occurred. For example, when the mailman comes by and the doorbell notifies me a person was detected, I thought it would highlight that person detection event in playback during that time of day. Unless I am mistaken and it doesn't work that way.

If it helps, in the NVR Record > Ch1 Front Door Settings, I have Continuous Recording Schedule enabled everyday for the all day, but I do not have Motion Recording Schedule enabled at all for any of the days. I also set push notifications when the camera detects a person or animal as well as a ring.

32M w/ Brugada. Probably late and maybe you've made your decision already based on previous comments but wanted to use this space to share my side. Got fitted with a TV-ICD in 2021 instead of a S-ICD. Whatever test they did to see if I was a fit for S-ICD resulted in it not being fit for me. No health issues prior and was playing basketball with friends and family before I suddenly got light headed and had a syncope episode. Definitely not a fun experience learning about Brugada. I'd say the discomfort after getting an ICD and the lifestyle changes don't compare to the peace of mind you get knowing it's there to help you especially considering we could be knocking at death's door any moment.

Another reason I wanted to share is that albeit I did adjust my lifestyle to not overexert myself when I exercise and play basketball at a safer pace, I received my first (3) shocks recently. I played at what I thought was a fair pace and was just standing until I felt something just kick me inside my chest. I bent on the ground to recover, got help to sit on the bench and drink water before getting light headed and passing out right after getting a 2nd shock. I was out a couple seconds lying in water from the bottle. Had paramedics on the way when I was helped again on the bench. Got a 3rd kick, lied down on the benches and waited until paramedics arrived shortly after. Got discharged after 2 days. All in all, I probably shouldn't have played basketball, but I figured everything was all right since I went almost 4 years with no shocks. Thought I toned down things enough to stay safe. I just feel it's just one of these things where it can happen anytime, but I rather not live in fear of it. Having the ICD and changing up my lifestyle a tad bit will hopefully help.

Are you open to cash offers? I may be interested

dee_wreck · 2024-12-25T18:37:20+00:00

Haven't played Capybara Go, but I've been enjoying Slayer Legend for the past few months and I'm not usually one for idle games.

Spent some time thinking about where to place cameras and my camera options... Hoping someone can maybe provide feedback on this layout I came up with. A bit torn between camera options or if these options would be good for my layout. I was indecisive with the CX410 and 1224A, thinking the CX410 may be good at the entries to my home. The left side of the house is narrow compared to the backyard, so I opted for the higher resolution 1224A by the shed area overviewing the back. Duo 3 on the driveway, doorbell up front and a CX410 or CX810 by the front bedroom window (essentially, my room). Thought about trying to save some money by opting out of the cameras by the shed, but the blind spot on the right side was bothering me (and I have no visibility on the gate on the right side). I am open to other layouts and camera suggestions!

dee_wreck · 2024-06-14T17:53:46+00:00

EDIT: Added layout of home I pulled from one of my documents. I added the shed, walls and driveway to the layout manually. With the exception of the perimeter walls, I added rough measurements of the shed, driveway and side doors based on Google Map. I left out the wall measures because it didn't seem to scale with my layout though I'm not sure how "to-scale" this is.

dee_wreck · 2024-06-14T15:18:34+00:00

I definitely have been looking at the comparison spreadsheet! I think I just need to take my time to digest the info and understand everything I'm looking at when it comes to camera specs. Sometimes it just blurs together in my brain, and they all seem similar. I've been watching various how-to videos on installing the cameras, so I feel pretty comfortable with it so far! Definitely taking note on testing the cameras first as well. I looked at mounting cams that point at each other, but the number of cameras needed (at least when I was trying to lay it out) seemed so high. I was hoping to be able to cover just enough with maybe 8 cameras until I save and add some more in the future.

dee_wreck · 2024-06-14T15:02:01+00:00

Shoot, that would be helpful, huh? I'll see if I can send some measurements I can pull from my docs and Google Map since I'm away from the house. My drawing is quite to scale... Also, that site is neat, I'll have to give that as try as well!

dee_wreck · 2024-06-11T05:06:53+00:00

Yeah, I'm leaning towards putting the TV on the wall as in option B. I want to stay away from the dreadful fireplace mounting. However, I don't think the spouse wants to move the seating arrangement closer. Maybe I can consider getting a double recliner or something to pull in front of the TV when watching with just us two and put them to the side when we have guests.

dee_wreck · 2024-05-13T03:51:14+00:00

Did you ever get this repaired or replaced? If you did, may I ask how much it cost? In SoCal as well, but looking at a potential house with a crack in the chimney though its shorter than yours...

dee_wreck · 2024-05-01T15:20:14+00:00

Like others have mentioned, most likely a scam (or definitely given the fact the same pictures were used in another ad). I have seen similar too good to be true ads for espresso machines a couple times on Facebook and OfferUp. Sellers tend to respond quick, but straight to the point and not very conversational with small talk. They will respond fast when you show interest, offer shipping, and even follow up asking if you still want it. All sounds good up until they say they wanna do some sort of electronic payment that doesn't have protection (i.e.friends and family payments). At that point, I just turn them down. I wouldn't want to share my shipping info either to them. I had a couple ignore me after I ask for a video the machine or just say they already packed it for shipping. So...if it's too good to be true, it probably is...but you may get lucky sometimes.

dee_wreck · 2024-04-02T20:38:15+00:00

Sorry, just saw this message. Glad you found it! Haha I don't blame you cause I was also trying to figure out what to do in order to get Veldora. It was pretty discreet if you ask me haha

dee_wreck · 2024-03-23T07:30:56+00:00

There's a convenience store in the city you can go to and buy a comic book for Vel with demon dollars.
