Many times. Solid spot.

Your arteries feel otherwise.Need the Taco Bell's nostalgia menu to come to CO, I need it
I had TB the other day and it was pretty damn awesome. I was very impressed, and I will be going back again.Taco Bell > My Health

Bro, I got an amazing song for us.
I would simp for every one of those members.I've been admiring you for playing a long con for over 14 years now, believing all along that you are actually the sane person you otherwise present yourself to be and this thing with KPOP was just to get a rise out of the majority of people on this board.
But damn...lately, I'm starting to lose faith.
Are you quoting the wrong person? That's seph.the sane person you otherwise present yourself to be
Depends on how involved you want to be in it.... I'm a big self-hosted guy so I'm probably on the opposite end of the spectrum from most peopleLooking for some input from people with some experience in regards to home security, smart cameras, thermostats, etc. Appreciate any help here.
Scenario:
- Two homes, one I live in full time in Denver, one vacation cabin not close by. Rent the 2nd one a bit, not much.
What I'd like:
- Remote access to automatic smart lock on front door of home #2. Apply temp codes, etc. for contractors and renters.
- Ring (or like) doorbell/cameras on outside of both homes.
- Remote access to thermostats in both homes, particularly in home #2 (something like Google next thermostats). Don't need voice control, just want to be able to monitor and program.
- Flood/leak monitors in the basement utility rooms of both homes.
Not sure I want more than that, but am open to it.
Can I do all of this with solid products and control it all with one app? If I want one app, am I then stuck with one manufacturer of all of the products?

I love the Alien franchise. They scare the shit out of me. I like the second one bestAlien Romulus encapsulates everything that makes the Alien franchise special. Been seeing a lot of outlets rank it as the 3rd best behind 1 and 2, but I'd argue that it should be right up there at the top. Awesome stuff from Fede Alvarez.
Google Home is probably the ecosystem you'd want. Apple Home Kit can pretty much do the same thing, but unless you are an iPhone person and are never going to switch... then I'd recommend just going to the Google side of things. Google Home pretty much works with most smart device brands and can put most of it in one app. Just make sure whichever ones you utilize are compatible with it and you'll be set.@The Moops and @henchman21, thank you both for quality responses.
I think I'm more in the "I don't want to maintain much, just want the basics to work" camp.
Ideally, one app that lets me get notices when someone approaches the door, the heat goes down below a certain temp, the basement floods, the front door unlocks, etc. Then allows me to control the thermostat, the the door lock open/close/new entry code remotely.

I didn't hate Prometheus, but I only saw the original Alien like 20 years ago. I need to go watch the others. Funny enough I didn't even know it was in the same universe until half way through because I'm an idiot.Good, I haven't seen anything since Prometheus because that one just plain sucked.
That's disappointing. The general gist I've gotten from folks is that if you drop 25% of the movie it would be right with the first two and maybe challenging for the second spot. The problem being they were forced to shoehorn in Ridley Scotts stupid pre-trilogy storyline into what was otherwise a real well done and fun alien movie.I kinda agree with the red letter media review. Romulus feels a lot like you take every Aliens movie, put it into an AI, and ask for a screenplay.
Right down to “you bitch” part completely being unnecessary other than it sounds like what Ripley said in an earlier movie. It was okay though but I’d not put it at the top. Feels like a fan film.
I'll have to try Upstream Color again. I think the wife and I started watching it and she gave up right away. She really hates waaay out there indie shit. She still hasn't forgiven me for having us watch "Midsommar" years ago.I didn't hate Prometheus, but I only saw the original Alien like 20 years ago. I need to go watch the others.

I watched a few weird ones this last week:
The Lobster - the only word I can use to describe this one was "unsettling", but it was enjoyable overall
Upstream Color - I'll need another watch but it was kind of a wild ride. If you liked Primer you'll enjoy it
That's too bad. I get where you're coming from, but the IMAX experience was worth every penny.I'm looking forward to watching Romulus, but I don't think I'm going to the theater to watch it. Theaters have become such a pain in the ass the last two decades. Just not a fun experience. The moment it hits streaming though, I'll be buying it.
The franchise for me is really 4 different franchises.
The Alien Franchise: Alien, Aliens
Generic Sci-Fi Wrapped in Alien Clothing: Alien 3, Alien Resuurection
Ill Advised Attempt to Combine Blade Runner and Aliens: Prometheus, Covenant
Video Games: Alien vs Predator, Requiem, plus all the actual video games from the 1982 Atari release thru today. Although Alien: Isolation actually ranks up with those first two movies in my opinion.
Yeah, I think I miss the IMAX screens, but still being jammed in with 300 strangers in a room with little to no air conditioning smelling three days worth of sweat and funk just doesn't justify a $25 ticket. Going to the theater used to be an experience. It's become a pain in the ass. Kind of like McDonalds used to be the wonderful toylike world for children and now it's this drab and dreary version of Starbucks...it's like it is tailoring to the soulless cubical workers of America by providing them the most bland experience possible.That's too bad. I get where you're coming from, but the IMAX experience was worth every penny.
I was hoping for more of an In Bruges dark comedy, but I did enjoy itThe Lobster is fantastic. A very, very dark comedy. Perfect vehicle for Ben Wishaw, who has a knack for playing really glum people. Ironically his character is about the only one who finds a modicum of happiness in that really bleak, dystopian setting.
