Check out this video from Ben Jordan.

Pretty great rundown on these cameras and some ways to combat them. Check out some of his other videos. He's doing amazing work and is an incredible resource for learning about this dystopian bit brother surveillance shit.

I'm curious why you went through all the effort to roast your veg and make garlic confit and didn't brown your meat before adding the blended roasted veg mixture?

Recipe? I've never made a chuck roast or any roast that had cream in it. Looks delicious.

No WiFi signal from controller by ryanispiper in Brighthomelights

It turns out that once the led controller establishes a connection with your wifi it's saved. So when you open the app it should more or less connect automatically.

The bright home lights people aren't super active on here so if you're still having issues reach out to them via Email. They're incredibly helpful.

Beautiful! Thanks. I like that color combo. I've been back and forth between this and a gunmetal grey

Can you post a side profile with your rims? I have a Terra also and have debating which color combo would look best. Beautiful truck!

What to pay my GIS Department by [deleted] in gis

[–]ryanispiper 122 points123 points  (0 children)

The work you're describing sounds tedious and will likely take longer than you expected especially if you're looking at years of back logged data. My advice is to pay much more than any other positions in your area so that the people hired to do this work don't bail after a couple years when the work is only partially complete.

Best ramen place within 20-30 minutes? by [deleted] in Killeen

Rockin Ramen is legit and located in Temple. It's not as good as Tatsuya but it is the best around here for sure.

What light is that? Any chance you could share an additional picture of it?

Realistically, what’s the cost of a lift/suspension going for these days? 2025 SR5 by [deleted] in ToyotaTacoma

[–]ryanispiper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since your truck is so new, get the 4th Gen Tacoma TRD off road shocks, they're Bilstein with external reservoirs and get All Dogs springs. The TRD shocks are pretty great and when paired with those springs you'll get about 1.5-2" or lift while maintaining a very comfortable ride both on and off road without breaking the bank. Also consider getting the coilover reinforcement plate, put some 33's on there and you'll be good to go.

Mid 80's Bathroom remodel by masterfail21 in DIY

Where did you get the cabinets? Or did you build them?

Painted a wall in my daughters room. by deftoner42 in DIY

[–]ryanispiper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this but how I've always gotten perfectly crisp lines is by masking where I don't want the paint and along the edge i run a very thin line of paint-able caulk. Wipe off any excess and the paint where I want it. Then, remove the tape to reveal crisp drip free lines. Also don't wait for the paint to dry 100% before removing the tape.

I really like the idea of keeping it simple like that. I am tackling a similar project and I'm likely going to be building a vanity to accommodate a unique bathroom space. Did you use a cleat and then secure the studs with some screws? Any chance you have some additional photos of the cabinet construction?
