  • 2 cat l, 2 dog house: I have the Ryobi dual roller from this list and if you’re in the US, the $250 sale price is a bargain with the 4ah battery and charger (don’t be fooled by the single roller variant).

    Then you have a battery that can run all kinds of other tools or gadgets you might want in the future.

    I will say that if your primary use is handheld, then it is a bit awkward. But it’s way better than the Dyson v8 we have upstairs.




  • I just went through this battle and ended up ordering a set of sensereo MS-1 (matter over thread and home assistant ready) to replace the battery-only detectors in our basement. Our main floor is nest protect hard-wired.

    While this product isn’t UL certified, it is EN certified and the functional difference seems to be 85db at 3m vs 10ft. And their website says they’re working on a UL certified model.

    They do have a hard-wired interlink model too: https://sensereo.com/ms-1-interlink/ but that’s smoke only. And again EN certified but not UL.

    But at least it’s an alternative to the x-sense products.

    The reviews of the official replacement (FA SC-5) are mixed to awful.


  • Cousin had a 1.5h hellfire and brimstone service with an altar call in an unairconditioned church on a weekday afternoon on the Midwest prairie on a hot August day 120 miles (~192km) away from my house.

    Weak perkolator coffee, grocery store sheet cake, and bite-size sandwiches (limit 2) served in the basement afterwards.

    We were asked to clean up after ourselves and break down the tables and chairs after 30 min. Church doors were locked and we were ushered out after another 30min.

    Last cousin wedding I went to.
