I object to locksmiths that drill out consumer-grade locks you buy from Home Depot, instead of picking them. Maybe some of them are selling normal-price locks, but people don't call a locksmith to drill out their lock when they can bor

In case it helps anyone: I had a 12,000 piece puzzle mounted and framed by a framing store. I forgot the details, but they used something called "Gator Board" (they could get it 10-foot sheets, along with a 10-foot long piece of

I'm trying to recover my Facebook account, not from a TOS violation, but from a name issue. It seems like people only have success by sending Meta a demand letter. I'm even Meta Verified, but I can't access customer service

> 1m+ Is that one thousand plus? (Certainly not one million plus I hope.) Either amount is pretty bad, although I suppose if you are a well-known person that people are trying to reach, that would make sense. If not, and it's a bun

Question for anyone who might have a suggestion: I have a Ring home security system. I would like to get an offline home CCTV that only records when the alarm is set (either in Home or Away). A quick internet search does not show an API.

I edited my previous comment because I knew of January 6th, I was just thinking OP meant something else. However I did not follow the events or aftermath with great detail. Considering he was prosecuted for other things, I'm guessing
