Also a kinda creepy Willy Wonka/Slenderman vibe

They’re confidential informants where I’m from - regional differences isn’t surprising, wonder how it’s abbreviated for other languages.

I agree. Further to that I believe protocol is that when speaking, one must address their comments to the speaker as opposed to any member in the chamber. It is mostly decorum and intended to keep a lid on tempers and direct personal exchanges that can flare up into a hubbub. Speaker is intended to be the impartial head master of the school he oversees and keep the house in order and apply the rules fairly. As you well will have seen - there are varying degrees of success in that pursuit.

It’s sounds counter intuitive but paddling is wonderful and easy to become addicted. I have found it’s almost meditative for me and I love being on the water. It can def lead to calluses on your palms but I don’t find a great deal of pressure on individual fingers the way climbing holds can exert. It’s uniform and you can control how hard you push yourself. It’s not like “if I don’t use 100% I’m gonna fall”.

Food for thought maybe…

Good luck finding a new adventure!

I read that URL as the Bill of Frights. I figured it was some fringe mob running an “institute” for tax breaks and brainwashing. I gotta go to bed. 🤦

Have you ruled out other types of fumes? Eg fresh paint, perfume, scented oil diffusers etc.

Sorry, trying to follow here. Three locations: front door, kitchen and living room. 4 detectors: original front door, new front door, kitchen and living room?

Original front door went off in situ and in the living room while holding it?

New front door went off at front door. Swapped NFD with living room - NFD went off in living room.

Moved NFD to kitchen and it went off in there too?

Where are the K and LV detectors now? Have any of those gone off anywhere in the house? Are THEY functional? (Sorry if you already said, I’m trying to piece the bits together and mighta missed that)

Owning your computer is an ILLUSION

I’ll take a shot at the metaphor. Delete: telling someone they can use the whiteboard (but you didn’t erase it) Secure: cleaning it off when you’re done for the next user.

Parametrek runs an awesome site for flashlight selections. http://flashlights.parametrek.com/index.html. They’re super knowledgeable and I have found it to be an invaluable resource for identifying options based on your selected parameters. I agree high CRI, rechargeable headlamp is a great option. Rechargeable means you don’t need to worry about specialty batteries and chargers which accompany many of the higher quality enthusiast flashlights available. It might still have a different battery than you’re used to but you can charge it in situ.

FWIW if you do want to just rubber band something to your glasses wing, there is a Lumintop IYP365 (In Your Pocket 365 days a year) it has a high CRI Nichia LED option which is great quality and runs on standard batteries - Eneloop rechargeables are a great option. I read feedback from people who use it as an inspection light in the aircraft industry and their feedback on the colour quality of the light sold me. It’s like a medical quality pocket light where the way colours appear while under illumination is obviously critical - just doesn’t have the M.D. price tag.

They actually just meant it was suitable for use with the Nokia N95 phone.

Damn that was my favourite phone. sigh ‘Twas a simpler time.

It is because everything must end that everything is so beautiful.

Get some enzyme spray specifically for addressing pet urine. There are lots of varieties online from pet warehouse places. Nature’s Miracle is a popular one. Get the urine destroyer, the stain and odour eliminator isn’t as good.

It actually breaks down the urine residue as opposed to the other suggestions here which mask or encapsulate the smell without addressing the source.

I have used enzyme on quite a few things I thought would never be usable again - def worth their weight in gold in my experience.

Colloquially a “blast from the past”

Hanlon’s Razor

Hey, bit late to the party but I got my other half a Wuben C3 flashlight just for around the house. It was really cheap on Amazon but it certainly gets the job done. I have my rovyvons and lumintops and acebeams and BLFs and Emisars - shout out of appreciation to Hank and Toykeeper and Parametrek for community service - but for an easy, reliable flashlight on a budget, IP68, decent emitter colour (at this price - it’s not blue), listed at 1200lm, Tail switch, 6 modes. USB charging (usb-c from memory) - I’d recommend this for anyone that’s not wanting to geek out hard as a purist.

Razor blade ftw!

Cheers bud, I was here for the calf!
