I was looking at reviews for TENS units and the biggest complaint is that the pads stop sticking after a couple of weeks. It’s like, did no one tell them they aren’t supposed to last forever? They’re supposed to be replaced.

I was just hoping there would be a chime wire in the doorbell area I could not hook up and not have to get up on a ladder to the chime box to unhook it.

Yeah I have a Ring from before Amazon bought them. I was hoping to go with another company but I did extensive research last night and made myself a spreadsheet of features/price, and it looks like I’m gonna have to go with their cheapest $50 doorbell for combo of my needs and price.

Why is the default option on Facebook for iPad now to have a background on your post? And I can’t figure out how to turn it off other than writing a post that’s long enough. Ugh.

Hope me, internet (it’s an old meme but it checks out?): if you want to disconnect an old style doorbell chime, is that something where you can just not hook up the wire when installing the new (smart) doorbell or do you have to access the chime box on the wall? (Not steady on ladders.)

A reminder that Morales allegedly committed voter fraud - the thing the Secretary of State is supposed to protect us from - and got voted in anyway. apnews.com/article/2022...

Fellow Hoosiers, give me your thoughts on Secretary of State candidates Beau Bayh and Blythe Potter. I get to meet Ms. Potter this week. We need to get Morales’ corrupt behind out of office.
