Random question for the fediverse... Have a relative with a SimpliSafe system (old), just door sensors and an alarm. Might need a refresh. Thoughts on open/non subscription replacements? General thoughts? (aside from the fact that security companies seem to prey on little old ladies... when all they do is call the cops if an alarm goes off. 🤨 ) Main requirement is detecting if a door opens and sounding an alarm if nobody hits a keypad or remote. (ie scare the opportunistic burglar sort of thing) #random
Also, "Mexican food" which is this menu... must include shredded iceberg lettuce. I think there is a rubber-stamp "ethnic" food genre (Chinese, Mexican, Italian, Indian) which gets replicated across every large and small town due to 1950's and 1960's Americans tiptoeing into "ethnic" food, and only later (or never) do you get more authentic, non-American versioned restaurants... 🤔 #random #food
If you're making a New Year's resolution
Maybe there's really only one solution
If you never ever get any of them done
Maybe you shouldn't even make one
Why make plans you won't carry through
I say, the only way to make do
Make plans for tomorrow or next week
And keep on getting them done on a streak
It's a lot better than a lofty list
Which every item you have missed
My goal tomorrow is to wake up with my wits intact
That is my only goal, in fact.

Violin, anonymous, c. 1705 - c. 1710
This tin-glazed earthenware violin cannot be played, for it is a decorative object. When the collector John Loudon purchased it for a record 1500 guilders in 1876, this violin was considered to be the absolute masterpiece of Delft earthenware. The modelling and painted decoration
certainly make it an exceptional object.
Gift of the heirs of J.F. Loudon, The Hague
