  • I have to wear earplugs for work. I use Radians custom molded earplugs, they are much more comfortable than the expanding foam ones that the company provides. They were only $10-20 for a set. They are comfortable enough to wear all shift without removing them. I can have a conversation while wearing them easily as well. They are easy to clean, just requiring a wipe down, or wash up while washing hands. About the only time I feel I have to remove them is when I’m trying to eat, as the chewing/crunching is amplified due due to having the plugs in place.




  • My friend’s house does this with their generator. There is a lockout on the breaker, and the main must be off to move it and open the one that feeds the back porch where they tie the generator in. Once the breakers are cycled, they can plug the generator into the outlet on the porch, and it runs there, sheltered from the weather. When the main power is working again, they turn off the generator, remove the cord, disable the breaker, toggle the lockout bar, and turn the main back on. The particular outlet on the porch is useless when using grid power because of this setup.













  • I just got a new Kobra 3 Max Combo, and have been fairly happy with it so far. There are some connection issues with cloud services that are annoying, but LAN mode has been fairly reliable when I’ve had enough of the cloud failings. Unfortunately, it appears that the spaghetti detection requires the cloud services to function.

    While I have received my Kobra 3 Max, and two Ace Pro units, the camera that was ordered together has not yet shipped. There is also no 8-to-1 unit to allow both Ace Pros to be connected simultaneously. The support site has a model, but they discount any guarantee that it will function. My order still shows as partially fulfilled, but there has been no communication about when the rest can be expected.
