Things that grind my gears but I don't comment on them because I don't want to be viewed as a pedantic twat:

Breaking small rules like changing lanes on a solid line Tailgating Not going on a green Blocking the box

Common courtesy:

Is a smile and a thank you too much to ask?

Cabinet doors in part reduce the amount of dust that winds up on the contents of the cabinets, as well as other aerosol particulates like grease from cooking. Think about what the top of your range hood looks like if you don't clean it regularly.

Of course that isn't a factor if you have a low dust environment and never cook in your kitchen

Ask yes, the Cedar Point tragedy of 1869. 27 died, including a Habsburg and two Rockefellers. 42 others were missing and presumed dead. The Navy spent three months subduing the lake by beating it with oars. It was the fastest legislation passed since the DC Forest Incident in 1831

Regarding integration to a home network, well… I'm not up on residential stuff, so consider this a starting point

If you're looking for a higher security keyway or a more durable lock, I'd go with a smart lock retrofit kit like August or Yale Approach. These will mount to an existing deadbolt inside the door and turn it into an electrified DB, but the outside remains unchanged. I will say Medeco has some interesting standalone deadbolt solutions, but they are geared for larger systems and commercial use.

On the hardware side, you can't go wrong with a Schlage B250 with a Primus cylinder. Other options are the ASSA 7000 series, the Medeco Maxum, or the Mul-T-Lock Hercular. Add a reinforced strike plate, and, if your really worried, a door wrap for another layer of metal reinforcement on the door, and you're sitting pretty. Now the bad guys will take over look at your Fort Knox door, shake their heads in despair, and break a window instead.

Kwikset Obsidian

No key, use a 9V battery on the exterior terminals if you get locked out because of a dead battery

User codes 4-8 digits in length

Smudge resistant touchscreen, sometimes annoying to activate

Discontinued, but you can find them on Amazon

Compatible with standard US deadbolt prep, no additional drilling required

Has an automatic relock option, locks itself after 30 seconds. Just didn't forget, if you propped the door open for a minute, the bolt is extended. Don't mindlessly slam the door

Because this doesn't have a keyway, I have no problem recommending this Kwikset. Kwikset Smartkey has gotten better, but still has vulnerabilities that I didn't like.

Locksmith here. What specifically are you looking for? I can tell you now, avoid Level, they are incredibly vulnerable to brute force attacks. I would also steer clear of any "Amazon" type smart locks. If it's not a major brand, it hasn't been vetted and there's little one can do as a consumer if it fails.

I'll give more detailed recommendations depending on your needs, and pro/con of the options available that meet that need. Do you need:

  • A key override if batteries die?
  • (Or no key at all, ever?)
  • Internet connectivity/app integration?
  • Latch monitoring?
  • Price range?

You seem weirdly invested in Alec Baldwin's well-being. I don't think there's anything productive left to be said about this, so I'll wish you peace, and long life

Yeah the legal system is not a just system.

That being said, usually the prosecutorial imbalance is against the weak and powerless. In this case, a man with more power, money, and influence than most of us will ever see in a lifetime is being held responsible for cutting corners. Can you imagine if Boeing execs were actually held accountable? Or Chase/BoA/Wells Fargo et. al.? It rarely happens.

Is it unjust that the protection is selective? Yes. In the balance, I'd rather the scales be weighted against the powerful, rather than how it normally is.

They should be. Is that your point? That they should be, because I think any sane person would agree.

If you're arguing that the responsible parties in this incident shouldn't be prosecuted because another person is getting away with manslaughter… well that's a bit silly isn't it?

I can't tell what your intentions are, because nuance is hard via text

A little into about me. I'm in my mid-forties, I live in Ohio, USA, and am on Medicaid. I suspect I have either ADD or ADHD but I can't get diagnostic testing covered by Medicaid. What can I do to get testing or treatment? There are lots of "in-network" providers, but every time I get the focus to try and make an appointment no one answers their phones, or they're not taking new patients, or they're not in network after all. I'm so so so tired
