What'd they charge you per post for the AI stuff?

I switched to 15 minute subs after a cloudy night ruined my 2 hour single exposure, and the stacking actually gave me way cleaner star colors. Your buddy might have a point about the science but you still put in the time and that counts for something.

Had a buddy back then who switched to IE5 and immediately regretted it when his boss asked him to find a specific company policy from six months back. He had like 200 bookmarks in IE all dumped flat into one folder with no way to sort them. Took him two days to find the right page and he got chewed out. Meanwhile my brother, who kept his Netscape bookmarks in neat folders by project, could pull up anything in seconds. That bookmark system was simple but it actually worked for how people organize stuff in their heads. IE's way felt like they just copied the basic idea without understanding why anyone would need categories.

Wait, did it actually catch fire or just get really sketchy? There's a big difference between "nearly burned my house down" and "smelled like melting plastic for a bit lol.

Funny you mention the raccoon thing because I actually read a study recently that said false alarms from critters are way less common than people think. People always blame animals but the stats show it's usually just dust or bugs setting off sensors. But that's a side thing. Your neighbor's raccoon story reminds me of something though. I heard a security guy on a podcast say that most people who trash talk wireless sensors have never actually seen one handle a real emergency. He said the industry is full of old school guys who refuse to admit a $40 wireless detector can do what a $200 wired one does in certain situations. That stuck with me because it's exactly what I used to be like. The attic fire situation proved it to me personally. Wireless heat detectors are just better for hot spots where you can't run wire without turning the whole place into a construction zone.
