I have three Reolinks. One doorbell, and two of the cheaper wireless with a solar hookup. All three have the max SD memory card they'll take. As with any product, you'll get lots of variation, but so far all of them have done well enough for me.

Issues:

They aren't the highest res (newer models are better)

We had to get a wireless extender to reach the farthest one, and there still can be some stutter for the higher bitrate

For one solar panel it took a year and some drop in charging to realize the first spot wasn't the best for all seasons, but now they stay 100%

Caveat is that batteries and solar do have a lifetime, but going on 4-5 years now and no notice of difference yet

The app/client is okay, could be better, and doesn't have the greatest support, but it works ok for my basic needs. I've heard you can use other ways to get the signal, but haven't tried.

I'd buy them again. Can't speak for the higher end ones if they're worth the extra features.

It's true, watch the documentary "Phase IV". Preferably the director's cut.

Landed alone, clearly not too bad.

It just fueled the debate more. I don't see a lack of stripes, I see an oversized stripe.

Books can do so much more. If nothing else, a good film adaptation sparks interest in the book from those who never read it.

Nope, just commenting on the characteristic look that is seen on YT and the like now. Has nothing to do with the actual painting and subject.

But to answer the question, why couldn't she be the painter?

They may still not say it out loud, but their first thought will be "he hurt those other people in various ways, so worth it to me."

Actual value for them... nope, can't think of anything.

One modification to a car we bought in 1990 was to put a window screen in front of the radiator, as it was far easier to remove it regularly and clean than try to not damage the clogged radiator fins. I haven't had to worry about such things for decades now in later cars. Hell, even seeing a bug strike now while driving is like catching a rare meteor, an event. But then it reminds me how bad it is. :(

In a larger scale of rights overall, your rights to do something should end when it restricts other people's rights. No one person should be above another. Not really how the world works, but it's the idealistic goal.

That's a lot of electronics waste. Estimates for 2025 e-waste into landfills was around 65 million tons, and it continues to rise each year. It's not an either/or, we can complain about both, but the scale difference makes the first seem a bit less dramatic. We should do something about our throwaway society.

It's profitable to greenwash. Every once in a while something legit gets through.
