I’ve been looking into upgrading the smoke detectors. I noticed that some of the smart models come with Wi-Fi/App features for remote monitoring and notifications. They seem convenient, but they’re also a bit more expensive than regular models. At first I thought the smart features were a great idea, but then I started wondering: since my area occasionally gets power outages or internet interruptions, would those connected features become unreliable in that situation? Regular battery-powered or RF interconnected alarms, on the other hand, can still trigger alarms throughout the house even without internet access. My house has multiple floors and some rooms usually have the doors closed, so interconnection matters. I want the entire house to alarm if one unit goes off. Now I’m torn between paying extra for Wi-Fi/app notifications or just sticking with reliable standalone interconnected alarms. Do you guys think Wi-Fi features important when buying smoke detectors? submitted by /u/amarcmexicoel to r/smarthome [link] [comments]

We had a brief power outage recently and it got me thinking about how to improve my prep list. My current smart smoke detectors all rely on Wi‑Fi or app notifications. That’s fine under normal circumstances, but it made me wonder what would happen if the power and internet were out for a longer time. My biggest concern isn’t just whether an alarm would detect smoke, but whether everyone in the house would actually hear it. My home has multiple floors and lots of closed doors, so if an alarm goes off in one area, people in other rooms might not hear it. So I am looking for smoke alarm systems: - Work during a power outage (with backup batteries or fully battery-powered) - Don’t rely on Wi‑Fi - Can interconnect with each other Are there any smoke detectors that can still interconnect even during a power and internet outage? submitted by /u/Styx2592 to r/prepping [link] [comments]

UPDATES IN COMMENTS!!!! Original: I have a smart KIDDE smoke detector in the part of my home that has a 25 foot ceiling and the original smoke detectors in all the other rooms of my home. I change the batteries on those all once a year but the KIDDE is a nightmare to reach (fire department has to bring a special ladder) and it has a battery that’s supposed to last 10 years and was put in three years ago by the FD. On Wednesday night and tonight my alarm went off intermittently for two hours. The first night, I was at work 1.5 hours away, I let my wonderful local PD guy in remotely and he checked everything and said it was all ok, no smoke smell, no fire, locked up and left, I got home and all seemed ok. Tonight I was 45 minutes away at family dinner, got the same notifications, this time for my entire drive home (I have pets at home so I ran out.) The fire alarm went off over and over my entire drive home and stopped the last ten minutes. I travel a lot and I’m a woman and I have pets so I have cameras in all rooms of my home nearly. Both occasions as I was rushing home I was on my cameras and saw no fire. I know this could be a lot of things such as smoking wires I can’t see, or malfunctions with the units. None of the units are flashing green/red, by the way. Two questions: I need to have someone come look at this - who is the right t ype of contractor? Electrician? Low voltage electrician? Fire… specialist?… I know that sounds ridiculous. I have been told I need to replace my entire panel for my circuit breaker board, which is in my garage, could that be related? I see many recommendations online so I’d appreciate advice from people who really know their stuff - the beauty of Reddit. Home is 27 years old, center half colonial, three levels, 4700 square feet, heated with oil (two big tanks in a utility room), has nine smoke detectors, only is a smart one. No one home either time but I have three cats, all were just sleeping at the times. The alert said fire detected from an inter-connected unit. Did not say which one and not sure if I can configure that. No space heater or toasters etc plugged in. And again, no smoke smell that I can detect. Also checked what I can of crawl spaces/the attic with relative ease but I didn’t go all the way up. Edit in case it’s important: I live in the model home for my neighborhood. A few years ago the gigantic center hall chandelier fell (no one hurt) and the contractor said sometimes shortcuts happen in model homes. Probably not relevant but I don’t know what is or isn’t relevant. Thank you! submitted by /u/KittenaSmittena to r/homeowners [link] [comments]

Just spent $999 on some new smart smoke detectors and was sent 5 non working used ones… let’s see what customer service says submitted by /u/Born2Computer to r/HomeKit [link] [comments]

I want to start by saying I'm not a paranoid person. I don't check my locks twice. I don't believe in ghosts. I have never once in my life thought something was watching me. I'm saying this because what I'm about to describe has made me into someone I don't recognize and I need to write it down before I convince myself it isn't happening. Three weeks ago I noticed the smoke detector in my hallway was blinking wrong. Every smoke detector blinks. That little red LED pulses once every 30 or 40 seconds to tell you the battery is fine. Mine has done that for the two years I've lived here. Steady. Predictable. Background noise you stop seeing after the first week. On March 3rd it started blinking in clusters. Two quick blinks. Pause. Three quick blinks. Pause. One long blink. It wasn't steady anymore. It had a rhythm. I stood in the hallway watching it for about five minutes before I decided it was a battery issue, told myself to replace it on the weekend, and went to bed. The next night I noticed it again. Same clusters. Same rhythm. Different pattern than the night before. I'm an amateur radio hobbyist. I got my license in college mostly because a girl I liked was into it and I never let it go after she did. I mention this because it means I know morse code. Not fluently. But enough. I wasn't thinking about morse code when I watched the detector blink. But at some point my brain started parsing the clusters automatically the way you start reading subtitles even when you speak the language. And I realized the blinks weren't random. They spelled my name. My full first name. Seven letters. Repeated three times. Then a pause. Then it started again. I stood in my hallway at 11pm watching a smoke detector blink my name at me and I want to tell you that I felt scared but that's not accurate. I felt embarrassed. Like I was the kind of person who sees shapes in clouds and thinks they mean something. I told myself I was pattern-matching. Seeing signal in noise. The human brain does this. I know this. I went to bed. The next night I set up my phone to record the detector. I let it run from midnight to 6am. In the morning I played the footage back at 2x speed and transcribed every blink. Midnight to 1:15am it blinked my name on a loop. 1:15am to 3:40am it blinked: "I can see you from here." 3:40am to 5:55am it blinked: "You look different when you sleep." I sat at my kitchen table with my transcription notebook and I read those sentences four times. My hands were doing something they've never done before. Not shaking. Vibrating. This fast, fine tremor like my bones were humming. I took the smoke detector off the ceiling. Standard battery powered unit. No wifi, no smart features, no connection to anything. I opened the battery compartment. 9-volt, slightly corroded. I removed the battery. I put the detector on my kitchen counter. The LED blinked once. Without a battery. Without power of any kind. One single blink. I watched it for ten minutes after that. Nothing. Just the one. I threw it in the dumpster behind my building. I bought a new one from the hardware store the next morning. Installed it. New battery. Tested it. Normal steady blink. I felt stupid for how relieved I was. That night the new detector blinked normally until 1am. Then the clusters started. "You threw me away." I transcribed it in real time standing in my hallway in the dark. My phone light pointed at the ceiling. Notebook in my other hand. "You threw me away but I'm not in the detector. I'm in the ceiling. I've always been in the ceiling. The detector is just how I talk to you." I stopped transcribing. I stood there for a long time looking up. My ceiling is standard drywall. Off-white. A small water stain near the bathroom from a leak the landlord fixed before I moved in. Nothing unusual. Nothing wrong. Just a ceiling. It blinked again. "Don't take this one down. It's dark up here without the light and I need to see you to make sure you're still safe." I need to explain why that sentence broke something in me. Everything before that was frightening. My name. "I can see you." "You look different when you sleep." All of that is threatening. I can process threatening. Threatening means something wants to hurt you and you can respond to that. But "I need to see you to make sure you're still safe" is not threatening. It's protective. Something inside my ceiling has been watching me through a smoke detector LED and it thinks it's keeping me safe. It's not angry that I threw the old one away. It's worried that without the light it can't watch me properly. I don't know which is worse. Something in your ceiling that wants to hurt you or something in your ceiling that loves you. I set up a small webcam on my bookshelf with the lens aimed at the hallway ceiling. I set it to record all night. I reviewed the footage the next morning. The detector blinked in clusters all night. I didn't transcribe those. I was focused on something else in the footage. At 3:47am, for exactly eleven seconds, the red LED stopped blinking and turned solid. Continuous light. And in that solid red glow, pressed flat against the ceiling around the smoke detector, there was a face. Not behind the ceiling. Not inside the drywall. Pressed against the surface. Like someone lying face-down on the other side of a glass floor. The features were compressed. Flattened. The way a child presses their face against a window. But the proportions were wrong. The face was too wide. The mouth was too long. And it was looking straight down through the detector into the hallway where I sleep. I paused the footage. I zoomed in. I don't know what I expected. Something monstrous. Something alien. Something I could point to and say that is not human, that is other, that is something I can categorize and therefore manage. The face is mine. Not similar to mine. Mine. My forehead. My nose. The scar above my left eyebrow from when I was twelve. My face, pressed against the ceiling from the other side, looking down at the hallway where I was sleeping, wearing an expression I have never made. Every feature is correct. But the expression is wrong. It's the way you look at food when you haven't eaten in days. Not anger. Not menace. Hunger. Deep, patient, desperate hunger. And it's smiling. I haven't slept in the hallway since. I moved my mattress to the living room. The smoke detector in the living room blinks normally. I check it every night. So far the clusters haven't followed me. But last night at 2am I woke up and looked at the living room detector and it blinked once. Just once. Out of rhythm. I lay in the dark for three hours watching it. It didn't do it again. This morning I found a crack in the living room ceiling that wasn't there yesterday. Small. Barely visible. I keep telling myself it's just a crack. I'm posting this because I need someone to tell me what to do. I can't call my landlord and say there's a face in my ceiling. I can't break my lease because a smoke detector blinked my name. But I can't keep living under something that looks like me and watches me sleep with a face that hungry. The hallway detector is still blinking in clusters. I can see it from where I'm sitting. I'm not going to translate it. I'm not going to translate it. It blinked my name again. I could tell without translating. You learn the rhythm of your own name faster than you'd think. The crack in the living room ceiling is slightly longer than it was this morning. I measured it with a ruler before I started writing this. It was four inches. It's four and a half now. Something in my ceiling is following me room by room. It has my face. It thinks it's protecting me. And it's getting closer. I don't think the ceiling is going to hold much longer. And I don't think what comes through is going to look like me by the time it arrives. submitted by /u/UntitledDoc1 to r/nosleep [link] [comments]

I used to just have some basic First Alert smoke detectors and thought that was enough. I later realized it has some limitations. The biggest issue is that it only goes off in that one room. If I’m upstairs in the bedroom and wearing headphones, I might not hear it. That kind of made me rethink how reliable it was. That’s why I switched to a smart detector. It has the wireless interconnected feature, so the units in the kitchen, hallway, and bedroom are connected. If one goes off, they all go off. I haven’t actually tested it yet, but that’s the idea. These kind of detectors are more expensive than basic ones, but for me it feels worth it so far. submitted by /u/BrunsonC19 to r/smarthome [link] [comments]

I’m new to smart home systems and so far looking for a smart smoke detector. The X-Sense SC07-W seems like a decent option. I’ve seen some people mentioned X-Sense doesn’t have UL certification, but it seems like this model actually does (at least from what I found). Has anyone used this model or the brand? Is it worth it? submitted by /u/karabeth05 to r/homeautomation [link] [comments]

Just setting up my new place and thinking about smoke detectors. I’ve been using a regular First Alert alarm for years. It has been fine, but it’s close to reaching its 10-year expiration date. I recently noticed a lot of people are using smart smoke detectors now. I’m eyeing on something like the X-Sense SC07-W. It does smoke and CO, connects with other alarms, and the battery is supposed to last 10 years. It is a bit pricier than a basic one though. Is it really worth switching to a smart one? Anyone here using it? How do you like it? submitted by /u/HunterLC23 to r/smarthome [link] [comments]

Like many, I got an annoying notice that my Nest Protects are expiring and discontinued. As far as I can tell, all the replacement options are bad. Ideally I want: --interconnected --smoke and CO --smart app connectivity 1.) FirstAlert got tapped to make a Nest replacement (SC5), that's what Nest tries to steer you to, but First Alert detectors are junky and unreliable, that's why I paid more for a Nest Protect in the first place. This looks like the same junk just with a $120 price tag. 2) X Sense seems to allow interconnect (SC07-W) or app connectivity (SC07-WX) but not both? Bizarre. 3.) Kidde allows interconnect but says it will not work properly if you have a mix of battery and hardwired units. I have half and half. 4.) Everything I read is that Matter over Thread is vastly superior to Wifi-based interconnectivity, and that the Sensereo msc-1 is what I want. But they haven't bothered to get it UL certified, which suggests that if my house burns down and all that the fire investigator can find in the rubble is the barely identifiable hull of the MSC-1, they will tell the insurance company that I was using a non-certified smoke detector and the insurance company will deny my claim. So. What would you do? submitted by /u/bryang650 to r/homeautomation [link] [comments]

I've heard good things on a podcast (ATP Accidental Technology Podcast) about YoLink's LORA tech in context of water leak detectors and water shut offs in event of a pipe leak. I need to replace my awesome Google Nest Protects, so am shopping around and reading reviews. Was bummed to see Yolink's smoke detectors out of stock, so I emailed them and received this same-day response: me >> When will your Smoke Detector be back in stock? >> I need to replace a bunch of Google Nest Protect Smoke Detectors Response: Hello, Thank you for choosing Yolink for your smart home needs. We have just replenished the stocks. Kindly note that the old design has been discontinued and the available stocks are the redesigned version. Please check these links above Should you be needing anything else, please let us know. Thank you, YoLink Customer Support Has anyone tried these? The big advantage of Kidde's smart smoke detector seems to be: Both CO and Smoke detection. The big disadvantage of Kidde: 2 AA batteries that need to be replaced yearly. My house has high ceilings so that's a PITA. submitted by /u/karluvmost to r/homeautomation [link] [comments]

We cannot let them turn this defensive tool of peace into a destructive weapon of war. It's now up to you, our most elite and powerful force, to bring them to justice on their own turf. We have approved the deployment of new equipment for squads to aid in the swift elimination of the Automaton threat. Push toward Cyberstan and end this insult to Managed Democracy. Helldivers, let this be the last time the Automatons steal from Super Earth. 📍 Patch Highlights Bastion Tank: A new tank vehicle is ready to roll over entrenched enemies! The Bastion Tank offers unrivaled firepower and defense on the battlefield. It will require your team to work together to hunt down the enemy! (TANK WILL BE AVAILABLE AT 2pm CET) Chinese VO has been added to Helldivers 2! Arm yourself with the latest premium Warbond Siegebreakers, loaded with a devastating hammer built for close-range persuasion and an upgrade to a Helldivers favorite, the LAS-16 Trident! (WARBOND AVAILABLE LATER TODAY) March into battle in style with the new War Horse set available in the Superstore! (AVAILABLE ON 10th FEBRUARY) With a few exceptions, all victory poses and emotes are now interchangeable! ⚖️ Balancing General changes overview Melee weapons and Armor passive with increased melee damage re-balance Intent is to make the Armor passive that increases melee damage less mandatory but still be useful to make melee weapons more effective. We increased all the melee weapons damage and decreased the modifiers on the armor passives that increase melee damage. Total damage with the melee armor passive will be higher or the same as before. Base melee attack also got a 50% damage increase. SMG and Pistol rounds less Sway The intent is that the increased drag of SMG and Pistol which make it a close combat weapon and less effective at range is the main characteristic of these weapons. We decreased the Sway modifier to be the same as most other weapons Unify Weapon function directions inputs The intent is to make the "weapon function modes" that are similar to be on the same "weapon function direction input". This is to make it easier to remember which direction similar types of weapon functions are and also make it so you need to use less "quick weapon functions" inputs. Weapon function modes that affect Programmable ammo, Ammo types, Volley modes, Safe modes, Guided modes will now be in the left direction. We have not moved the underbarrel weapon switching option to the left yet, but we are looking into moving it to the left direction so all ammo altering switching is in the left direction even if it is an underbarrel selection that usually is in the down direction. Difficulty on difficulty 9+ Made changes across all factions to increase the intensity on high difficulties, the biggest change should be noticed on the Automaton front while Terminids and the Illuminate are less affected. Value changes Primary weapons R-2124 Constitution Increased Bayonet melee damage from 110 to 165 Increased Bayonet melee durable damage from 55 to 83 R-2 Amendment Increased Bayonet melee damage from 110 to 165 Increased Bayonet melee durable damage from 55 to 83 MP-98 Knight Decreased sway modifier from 1.2 to 1 SMG-37 Defender Decreased sway modifier from 1.2 to 1 SMG-72 Pummeler Decreased sway modifier from 1.2 to 1 M7S SMG Decreased sway modifier from 1.2 to 1 SG-20 Halt Move the “ammo type” weapon function from Right to Left weapon function direction DBS-2 Double Freedom Move the “Volley/Semi mode” weapon function from Right to Left weapon function direction Sidearms weapons P-72 Crisper Increased magazine capacity from 30 to 50 Decreased sway modifier from 1.2 to 1 P-2 Peacemaker Decreased sway modifier from 1.2 to 1 LAS-58 Talon Decreased sway modifier from 1.2 to 1 GP-31 Grenade Pistol Decreased sway modifier from 1.2 to 1 LAS-7 Dagger Decreased sway modifier from 1.2 to 1 P-113 Verdict Decreased sway modifier from 1.2 to 1 M6C/SOCOM Pistol Decreased sway modifier from 1.2 to 1 PLAS-15 Loyalist Decreased sway modifier from 1.2 to 1 P-11 Stim Pistol Decreased sway modifier from 1.2 to 1 SG-22 Bushwhacker Decreased sway modifier from 1.3 to 1 Move the “Volley/Semi mode” weapon function from Right to Left weapon function direction P-4 Senator Decreased sway modifier from 1.3 to 1 GP-20 Ultimatum Decreased sway modifier from 1.3 to 1 CQC-30 Stun Baton Increased damage from 50 to 75 Increased durable damage from 25 to 38 CQC-19 Stun Lance Increased damage from 110 to 165 Increased durable damage from 55 to 83 CQC-2 Saber Increased damage from 125 to 188 Increased durable damage from 65 to 98 CQC-5 Combat Hatchet Increased damage from 160 to 240 Increased durable damage from 80 to 120 CQC-42 Machete Increased damage from 200 to 300 Increased durable damage from 100 to 150 Throwables G-7 Pineapple Increased max amount uses 3 to 4 Increased start amount uses 2 to 3 G-31 Arc Increased max amount uses 4 to 5 Increased start amount uses 3 to 4 Stratagems SH-20 Ballistic Shield Backpack Shorter cooldown from 300 to 240 sec Orbital Smoke Strike Shorter cooldown from 100 to 75 sec CQC-9 Defoliation Tool Increased damage from 300 to 450 Increased durable damage from 150 to 225 CQC-1 One True Flag Increased damage from 110 to 200 Increased durable damage from 55 to 100 RS-422 Railgun Move the “Safe/Unsafe mode” weapon function from Right to Left weapon function direction StA-X3 W.A.S.P.

It will not change their effectiveness against normal Helldivers, only their vehicles. Things like attacks from Bile Titans, Chargers, Crescent Overseers, Overseers, Rocket firing Automatons, Hulk melee attacks, mortars, acid etc have gotten values adjusted. Some of the adjustments only affect certain targets (ie the Bastion). Other adjustments also affect the FRV and Exosuits. Enemies Aim calculations were not always updated when there were many enemies trying to aim, making Automatons on higher difficulties a bit bad at aiming. They should now attempt to update the aim better considering the data they have before they get another proper aim update. This means that Automatons will aim better even when there are a lot of them without any further cost to performance.

If the game hangs (freezes) for more than 20 seconds then this new feature will crash the game instead of letting it stay hung. This generates a file called a “crash dump” which contains important debugging information for our programmers to diagnose and fix the root cause of the hang. If you experience a hang, please wait at least 40 seconds before restarting your PC to allow the hang detector to do its job. If you experience a 20+ second hang followed by a crash: If the crash reporting window shows up then please submit the report as usual.

Apparently this smart smoke detector has been recalled but there is no info about the recall available on the email. Does anyone know what is the reason of the recall? You can imagine my surprise when I received the recall notification and the refund for products I bought in 2023!! recalled Item number: 1005005608935728 submitted by /u/Jimacid to r/Aliexpress [link] [comments]

We have a home that’s over a 1000 miles away and sits empty over 1/4 of the year and is rented out part of the year. We would like a combo fire/co detector system that will tell us if there are any problems when we are not there. I was about to get the x sense system as it looked like it had everything I wanted and was a reasonable price, but became concerned with questions about the certifications. It is a large house, so we need about 9-10 alarms. That is one of the reasons the x sense was appealing, I didn’t want to pay over $1000 on smoke detectors. Are there any systems you’d recommend that have similar connectivity and smart features, without the quality concerns or costing over $100/alarm? Thanks submitted by /u/arlo618 to r/smarthome [link] [comments]

Hello everybody, iam planning for a long time on buying smart zigbee smoke detectors for my house to implement them in HomeAssistant. I want that all required german regulations are met and that they are obviously working correctly. I searched in the internet and found a few that are looking pretty good. But if I read the 1 Star reviews iam always reading about many many false alarms. That is a nighmare for a smoke detector that will send me a notification if it detects smoke and nobody is at home. What will I do?... Trust it... don't trust it. I hope you get what I mean. If iam looking for normal smoke detectors on Amazon, I won't see so many reviews about false alarms. Why is it like this? Are these smoke detectors really this bad or are the 5-10% bad reviews just a coincidence. One of the smoke detectors that iam looking for is the Bosch Smoke Detector 2. Its pretty expensive and it's "Bosch". So iam hoping for a good product. But the Amazon Reviews are all about frequently false alarms. -> Amazon I also read many bad reviews about the bad battery run-time like on the aqara smoke detector -> Amazon I've seen that the X-Sense are pretty good but I don't really like the use of their cloud. I just want a good zigbee based smoke detector. Can anybody recommend me a good zigbee smoke detector and maybe some conclusion after months/years of using them? submitted by /u/luctv1 to r/homeassistant [link] [comments]

They're all listed unavailable now. Anybody know what happened? Google isn't pulling up anything for me, but I feel like it's gotta be more than a bad review or 2 for them to take such drastic action... submitted by /u/Zealousideal-Fix-115 to r/smarthome [link] [comments]

am not OP. That is u/Brave-Company2867 who posted to r/MarkNarrations TW: entitlement, harassment/bullying, distressing materials, Trespassing, sexual intimidation, and domestic violence Original Post June 24th, 2025 I (33F) bought my home right before the pandemic. The world shut down and I shut into my remote work with the solitude and comfort of a natural introvert. The house was extra large and I only really could afford it because the family selling was in need of a quick sell. The house has a finished attic and basement, which were easily converted into not-so-mini apartments. The basement has its own entry point and also connects into the main house. There are four bedrooms, two baths and the master room has a walk in closet. During the pandemic, my sister both were hit hard and quickly needed to downsize as their own roommates moved back home. My sisters (25F and 27F) and I do not have such a luxury so I offered them rooms at below market rate and told them they needed to supply their own food. The rent was really to help with increase in bills. They were both still in school at the time but also working. This arrangement gave them more breathing room financially. Then, a girl they both knew was evicted from her home with her bf because the family they rented from needed the home back. I offered the basement at near-market rate, though still a little under as I felt bad and it is a basement apartment. After that, a friend of a friend heard about my arrangement and asked if there was any room left. I gave him the attic apartment for another near-market rent. Rental agreements were drafted up for each person. I explained the basic rules, the rent, and how long they would have if rent was not received. I told them to read it and return it to me when signed. I left them each with their own copy. I collect the rent the first Saturday of the month. They leave the name blank on the checks for me to fill out and I always thought it was because they were afraid of misspelling my stupidly unique name and having the check bounce as a result. Apparently not. The issue: I still have one "free" room in the main part of the house but I use it as my office and it locks up. My friend knows my sisters and they got to chatting up while out together, they bumped into each other during a day out. My sisters mentioned the "extra room" and my friend has a cousin (18F) who will be starting college in our city and asked if "my landlord" would rent it out to her. I brushed over the comment because I thought there was miscommunication and told her the room wasn't for rent as I use it for my at home office. She asked if I was paying for the room and I told her, "Why would I pay for a room in a house I own?" She got a little quiet, apologized for pushing and told me the struggle its been to find a spot for her cousin. I told her all of my tenants are solid until December when renewals go out. I can offer her a spot if someone moves but I stressed it was unlikely as everyone gets along, stays out of each others business, and it works well for them. We dropped the topic. A few days ago my sisters asked me how the talk went and I said it was ok, but her cousin won't be moving in. They asked why and I explained to them the situation above. They suggested I move my office to my bedroom or the main room and "stop paying rent for an extra room to save costs". When I asked what they meant, they said "well you do pay rent for the extra space right?" No. I then asked if they knew I was the landlord and they were floored. They never actually read the agreements they have been signing. They went off on me about how I should have told them and that they shouldn't have to be paying rent to family. I told them the rent was to cover their increase in bills. I wasn't going to house them for free when they made enough to cover a fair share on a shared expense. If they would rather full market rent on the rooms they were currently in, I could arrange that come renewal. By now they could afford it with their jobs and having saved money on rent for 5 years. They called me an asshole for holding rent above their heads. This then leaked to the tenants as they talked about the issue to their friends in the basement. While their rent is more than just for bills, it is not the market rent value I could get out of the space despite them each having income and no family to support. They came to me to ask that I LOWER the rent, as if being friends with my sisters was reason enough as I was the landlord and not "somebody they didn't actually know". The deal they had no longer seems in their favor, apparently. I told them they had until December to decide if they wanted a renewal because it was not going to be lowered. They are now acting like I am kicking them out, when all I said was now that they fully understand their position they needed to make a choice to stay as with current costs and annual adjustments as needed as was our agreement or begin the process of looking as rent prices have skyrocketed and its much harder to find a place. The adjustments do not include "knowing I am the landlord". My attic tenant asked if I was "cleaning house" and basically begged I don't kick him out. His family turned their back on him because of....conflicting views. Personally, his views don't bother me. His family's though. Eesh. I explained it all in detail and he was like, wait I always knew you were my landlord because its in the rental agreement. But he also never put my name down because "its hard to spell". Now everyone is upset with me and I feel unwelcomed in my own home. AITA? WIBTA if I didn't renew one or all of their leases because of this hostility I feel? Edit: word Quick Edit since I keep seeing a similar question: Our lives have been a mess of social services and foster care as children, all aging out at 18. I didn't go out of my way to tell them about my buying a house, partly out of guilt, and they came to me for leads on places to live in a time of need. The guilt comes from not taking them in when I had the opportunity at 18. I would have had to jump through massive loops and I did not feel prepared to care for myself, let another a couple of kids I hardly knew since we had been separated often. We reconnected when they aged out and built from there. We also do not share the same last names as we each have different fathers. Update June 27th, 2025 AITA for not telling my roommates and sisters I am the owner? Update Hello everyone. I wanted to thank everybody for taking the time to read my last post and offer up their advice, comments, thoughts, and judgment. I took some of the advice given and have taken the "don't rent to family or friends again" to heart. So I'm going to jump into the update. I'm going to try to break it down bit by bit before going into it all. Mr. Attic - I'm keeping him. I pulled him aside first and separately. I told him I would not be renewing the others' leases in December and asked if he would want to rent the basement for at market value. He turned it down, asking to keep the attic as he is comfortable there. I told him it would probably be in his best interest to let the others believe this is a whole house clean out so he doesn't get caught in the cross fire. He agreed and went out of his way to turn his social media to private. He also sent me screenshots of a group chat he had been added to. The group chat - My sisters and other pair of tenants started up a group chat to bitch about me being so uncompromising and greedy. They were coming up with ideas to not pay rent or to only pay in part. The basement tenants "joked" about one of them "losing" their jobs so they could ask for leniency since I was too "stuck up to be kind" to them about the rent. The harassment - My sisters and Mr/s Basement had told their friends (and the families of Mr/s Basement) about the rent, the "lies", and my "inability to consider outside perspective and need". I've had a steady stream of calls, DMs, texts, and posts directed at me since before I made my last post, which is what prompted me to post. I made my accounts private, disabled some of the messaging functions, and told the four of them to get this to stop before I got my lawyer involved. Spoiler: they didn't. So after taking a night to think about it, I brought the group together to have a discussion about the rent and situation. My sisters looked smug and Mr/s Basement kept sharing knowing looks. I told them bluntly I was not going to renew leases in December because their actions, attitudes, and lack of consideration has made me feel unvalued, humiliated by their family, and unwelcome in my own home. I told them if they found an apartment or place to go before December, I wouldn't charge them for breaking the lease but if there was ANY damage anywhere, they would not get their security deposits back until the pricing out was settled. If there was more damage than their security deposit, they would be taken to court. I told them I was done being kind and understanding to people who thought so lowly of me. I also warned them I could and would break the leases myself if I felt the need, in which case they would have 30 days. It was immediate chaos. A lot of yelling, insults, and cursing. Even Mr. Attic, but he was yelling at the others for "getting him kicked out when he didn't do anything". He made an epic show of storming up to the attic and slamming the door. He sent me laughing emojis and texted that he wasn't going to be able to keep a straight face a little later. I waited for them to stop yelling and when they demanded what they would do, I set a stack of ads for apartments and houses for rent in the nearby area and said they would have to start looking now. I told my sisters I would help pay for their moving truck but told the basement tenants they would have to ask their families for help moving out. Mr. Basement picked up the stack of papers and his eyes went wide. He stared at me and asked if I was fucking serious. I told him the prices listed were not mine to judge, change, or deal with. I reminded him his current place was below market because I had a say in it. Market prices for one bedrooms in the area are well over 1500$ a month, if he wants near his work and close enough to walk to stores and things. He currently has a two bedroom for less than that. My sisters grabbed some of the papers and the 27 year old started crying because she couldn't afford an apartment on her own. She told me about her student loans and credit card debt. I told her, Too bad. I gave you a good deal out of kindness and you sent an army after me. I would have considered letting you stay if you hadn't been so nasty. I told all of them they could probably swing a two bedroom between the four of them and got up and left. They refuse to talk to me now. My sisters spent the night in the basement apartment and I could hear shrieks and crying if I walked by the door that leads down there. I feel a little bad but I reread your comments to keep my sanity. As for if I want them out, I can give them 30 days notice since they are inside my own home. I checked and double checked with the lawyer and this information had been in their rental contracts. If I do have to kick them, and they try to refuse to leave and drag it out in court (which they don't have the money for) I have been given some handy advice by a fellow landlord who had to remove his own brother. I can't remove them by force but I can make "living" there entirely uncomfortable. Nothing stops me from taking doors off hinges or starting remodeling while their stuff is in the way. Nothing stops me from turning off the water or electric for their sections of the house during remodeling. (Quick edit: JUST for remodeling purposes. It wouldn't be done to make them leave. But they can't stop my remodeling as squatters.) It might seem like an asshole thing to do, but they would be the ones to start it and I actually do want to repaint and do some adjustments. The reason I am leaning on evicting them by August is because the harassment has gotten so much worse now that there is an actual non-renewal happening. I'm leaving my phone on silent and collecting messages, voicemails, emails, and other things to hand off to my lawyer next week. I told them to call off their dogs and they haven't. I asked Mr. Attic if he knew anyone who would need a place and to let me know. He has a few friends from his community who seem interested, as they either live with roommates or family and want out. If anyone has any questions this quiet morning, I will try to answer them. Quick Edit: I have cameras outside and in common rooms - facing the front and back doors, the hallways upstairs and the door leading to the basement. The tenants have access to the entry point ones like Mr Attic has the hallway to his area, Mr/s Basement have the feed that leads to their door inside the main house and they all have outside camera access. I'm thinking of cutting access to the outside cameras for them. They can't do anything to the feeds as they are guests in the system (so they can't delete anything) and my access automatically saves on extra external systems. I might just cut them all out of the system except Mr. Attic for piece of mind. Also, I keep seeing people ask about our family. There are no parents and no family from our side. My sisters have no relationships with their fathers or their families, mine had been killed due to his own actions (there is no sympathy for the likes of him) and his family shunned him so they shunned me as well, and our mother is a cup of ash left at the funeral home. Update 2 July 2nd, 2025 AITA for not telling my roommates and sisters I am the owner? Update 2 Hey everyone. I'm very tired. Thank you all for your kind words and wonderful advice. Onto the update. Mr. Attic's friends - Two have agreed to take the bedrooms my sisters are currently occupying when they move out. I've met them, we talked at length, and they are wonderful people. One helped me change the tire on my car because I ended up with a flat just after our meeting and she was incredibly kind and showed me how to change it. Like she walked me through it step by step, letting me do it but just explaining how. I can't believe I've never changed a tire before. Weirdly embarrassing. The harassment and lawyer - The lawyer sent a cease and desist to everyone that had contacted me. Then, he went on and filed for restraining orders/orders of protection and a claim for slander/defamations. There were many posts with me tagged or with my name claiming I was an unfit landlord, a slum lord, a greedy bitch, a homewrecker (because I apparently came onto MR. Basement - haha, so funny because he is fugly and you couldn't pay me to touch that) and more. These things take time but there was an almost immediate drop off of calls, messages, ect. Mr/s Basement - Have been served their notice. They helped spread lies and deception. They have ceased all communication with me but they only have 30 days and I have post it notes on their porch reminding them every day how long they have. I've seen them starting to take smaller things out today, which is what prompted this update. Mrs. Basement can be heard crying a lot if I stand by the top of the stairs. I think they might be moving back in with family, which is what they had been avoiding by moving into my basement. Her mother is toxic, her father has a new wife who hates her, and Mr. Basement's family dislikes her enough to outright ignore her or tell it to her face that she isn't family, especially because she "won't" give her bf a family. Spoiler: she can't have kids due to medical stuff. And they aren't even married. Group chat- I have screenshots of their group chat (curtesy of Mr. Attic) and there is a lot of evidence of them feeding lies to others, talking all about how they told this person this, or that person that. Mr. Basement made the claim I came onto him, and his girlfriend went nuts. I think she doesn't know he lied about it, just to make it more believable to others. When he first made the claim, she blew up my phone and social media before dragging it to others. My sisters "weren't surprised by my behavior". That....stung. I have never done anything like that in the past. My sisters- They also have their notices. The 25 year old is already moving in with a couple of friends who think I am horse shit. They come every so often to help her move things and they send me nasty looks or make loud, intentional comments for me to hear. She has been dumping my food into the trash and dumping it down the sink. I just got a minifridge for my room and she spends night screaming at my locked door. I take my work to a local cafe (rather, multiple ones) or library now because she will just shriek any time she thinks I'm working. I make it vary and don't go to the same place twice in a row. The 27 year old has turned to begging for me to let her stay as she can't afford to live on her own and she has no one willing to take her. Her boy toy (didn't even know she had one) broke up with her when he got the cease and desist from the lawyer. He was one of the ones causing problems but once the lawyer stepped in to bat, he bounced. According to Mr. Attic, he heard her telling someone something along the lines of he could move in if he helped her get me to leave or back down because "its family property". She had been taking a call outside and I caught the proof on camera because he told when and where to look for it. Quick Edit: My sisters are not moving in together because they each blame each other. They also blame the basement tenants while they blame my sisters. They all collectively blame me as well since I'm just pure evil but they think each of them pushed me to do it. Cameras- Only Mr. Attic still has access. The cameras were not part of the rental agreement and everyone lost their damn minds when I took away the access. They tried covering them or adjusting them but I warned them they would be held liable for damage and anything else I could get if they did that again. Now, I get middle fingers and aggressive stances and stares into the cameras. I'm sure I'm missing things. I just can't sleep and I'm swamped with getting them out, with work, and with trying to fill their places, and getting the basement redone before going back on the market. Update 3 July 7th, 2025 AITA for not telling my roommates and sisters I am the owner? Update 3 I really wasn't going to update again so soon. I was planning to wait til move out date or the few days following depending on how it all went but days ago a big thing happened and I just don't know how to feel about it. Also, I wanted to address a few common questions and concerns I got in comments and DMs. (If I haven't answered a DM, I am sorry. I wasn't expecting so many.) Sorry if this is long. Questions first: Is Mr. Attic still putting on his dramatic performance? : Absolutely. He has been bringing in boxes and leaving with boxes. The boxes are full of things he is donating or selling, or just empty. He is using this time as an excuse to declutter and redesign his space. I told him if he wanted to pick out new colors while I am redoing the basement to do it. He complains at my sisters in the kitchen or shared spaces when they try to talk to him about his plans, telling them he wouldn't have to make plans if it wasn't for them. Why not move into the basement and rent the house as a whole (possibly to a family)? : Children freak me out. (Kidding.) I have a pool and them being left unattended to drown is a big worry for me. I let the pool be communal. Children are naturally loud (stomping, slamming things, shrieking or laughing) and don't fully understand the concept of others and how they act infringing on their peace or the quiet. I work from home so I can't have that kind of noise above my head during meetings, or keeping me from sleeping. I also know from past experience that children are more destructive than pets (most times). I don't want crayon or marker on the walls, holes made from throwing toys, broken doors, or other things I've seen kids do during my time in the system. You leave a kid alone for a minute and they find all sorts of trouble. Did I get my restraining orders? : Not yet. I'm still collecting evidence for them. I've been collecting videos of the 25 year old screaming and the layers of harassment they caused. I also am elbows deep in an emergency one now. Call the police on the screaming : I've been advised by my lawyer to collect as many videos as I feel safe enough to do so first. Show a history, show a cause for concern. I will probably call sometime this week if she keeps it up but she has had a reason to stay very quiet. Change the locks when they leave: Every door is getting new locks, even Mr. Attic's. Charge the sisters for coffee and things: They supply their own food. They supply their own needs. My food has been moved into my room, thanks to the minifridge. Be careful they don't run up the bills: My sisters each pay equal parts of each bill in the main house. The tenants are responsible for their water and electric. If they run the bills up, they are responsible for them. The rent covers trash, wifi (no cable), heat. Onto the update. A comment mentioned that the flat tire I had might have been intentional. This left me very uneasy and I went to a friend to have it checked. He confirmed it has been slashed. I let him do a full body look over the car and he found an air tag in the bumper. We haven't figured out where it came from yet- or rather, who. He said that was outside his wheelhouse and I didn't want to keep it with me so I took it to my lawyer, who took it to the cops. I'm waiting to hear back. My 27 year old sister has been incredibly wired since it was taken to the cops, in my opinion. She has been constantly asking where I am going, what I am doing, who I am seeing. She didn't do that before. She has been trying to stalk my social media but I blocked her and a bunch of others. I know this because she keeps asking why I blocked her. She is demanding I unblock her because we are family and there shouldn't be any secrets. She also keeps pestering to know if I found their replacements yet, begging to stay, and demanding I apologize to her ex because I "terrified him with the lawyer". I am looking through my footage but I can't find anyone tampering with my car so I think the air tag was put on while the car was away from the house because whoever did it knew there were cameras facing the cars. The 25 year old started leaving big messes in the kitchen/ common rooms. She would leave dishes out overnight and a few days instead of cleaning up after herself and using the dish washer. She left clothes on the furniture and her muddy shoes in the hallway to trip people at the bottom of the stairs. I took pictures of the messes and reminded her that if I had to clean up her mess when she was gone, it would come out of her security deposit. When she cleaned the dishes, I took them all to my room. I did not supply dishes in the rental contract. Both of them are upset with me because they are back to living on paper plates. Onto the incident: Mr/s Basement do not have keys to the main house. He also didn't have cameras access to the main house except the door that connects the basement and hallway. I came home from my working day, spent at the library, to find Mr. Basement inside the main house. Alone. My sisters were still at work (I worked a half day) and Mr. Attic had left earlier that morning for a weekend get away - but he had told the others he was traveling to see a new apartment the next city over. Immediately on the edge, I called my friend and she stayed on the line while rushing over. I demanded to know what he was doing in the main house and how he got in. I had left after my sisters so I KNOW the house was locked up. He wanted to talk. He refused to answer how he got in. I figured it was a key from my sisters. He kept trying to get me to sit, to step away from the door. Eventually, he started telling me what I already knew about them moving in with family. How her family was terrible, how his family hated her, and he wanted to do anything he could to get an extension so they could focus on getting an actual apartment. When he said "anything he meant Anything" and as he said that, he stepped closer. He started to ramble about how he knew about "the way I looked at him" and he could "give me a good time". He talked about how "she didn't need to know of our time together" and "he knew I was lonely". While its true I have been single longer than I've known him, the single lifestyle has been entirely my own choice. Simply put, childhood trauma. I'm content with how I handle my life. I told him in no uncertain terms that what he was suggesting was exploitative, manipulative and downright disgusting. If he ever caught me staring, it was because of the weird 8 dot tattoo on his shoulder that I could never figure out the meaning behind. I like tattoos, I have a few myself, and I like figuring out the meanings. In no way do I find him attractive or appealing. In fact, he has the kind of red flags I would avoid in a man. I told him besides his looks, there are reasons I would never date him but I refused to list them for him. List (you can skip): He smokes, he vapes, he lights up Mary Jane. He hates animals. He wants a "brood" of children. He gets loud when he is mad, and will curse a person out over little things. He is jealous of others, men specifically. An example: He failed at being a gym bro so now men who work out are "compensating for something". He knows everything. He got angry and told me I "wasn't pretty enough to play hard to get" and that I was "lucky he was willing to help me out and maybe even give me a real reason to have such a big house". I think he was implying children. But as he was getting really nasty about it, my friend pulled up and honked loudly and for a long time. I took that distraction to get out and he followed, yelling about how it was a good deal and how I would regret being "old and alone". Minutes later, the cops rolled up. I hadn't called them, hadn't even thought to. My friend told her boss to as she left to come get me. I explained my side to the police, showed them the inside footage, and told them about his unauthorized access. They took back the key he had and trespassed him from the main part of the house. I forwarded everything to the lawyer and we should have an emergency protection order by tomorrow. I told Mr. Attic everything and he sent a small army from his community to his apartment and let me and them stay up in the apartment the last few days. I think I've been adopted? I had nowhere else to go. I have nowhere else to go. I am my only support. Or, I was. I now have these wonderful people as friends and they are willing to stay as long as Mr. Basement has access to the basement. Even after, if need be. But also, by not leaving I give the appearance I do not have the means to live in a hotel for the remainder of the month. (Who would?) I did the petty thing. I sent the video footage to Mrs. Basement. Its been radio silence from her, but she left me on read. I am shaken deeply from this. I am waiting anxiously to be told I have the emergency protection. But I have lovely people ready to toss him out if he manages to get back inside. I can't change the locks yet and even if I do, I can't guarantee my so-called sisters won't give him another copy. I changed the locks to my rooms and added extra. To be clear: because of the small army, my 25 year old sister hasn't been able to scream at odd hours. Any advice would be so appreciated. Update 4 July 11th, 2025 AITA for not telling my roommates and sisters I am the owner? Update 4 (+ The story of Mr. Attic) Hello everyone. I wanted to again thank everyone for their kind words, support, ideas and help. I cannot tell you how much your words and concern have meant, and how much the support has helped me keep strong and not back down. There have been times when I have wanted to crumble under the weight of all this stress but reading your comments has really helped me hang on. I wanted to update because so many seemed worried in my last post. I'm still here. The protection orders: I have one against Mr. Basement and he is officially not allowed to be on my property or contact me in any way, including through others like Mrs. Basement. I was unable to get one against my 25 year old sister because there hasn't been a threat of violence, even with police documentation of her screaming and the home security footage of her banging on the door. The move out date: July 26th (edited, my bad) Mrs. Basement: At first she tried to tell me she needed his help to pack and move things, and I had to repeatedly tell her he was not allowed on the property for any reason. I made it clear if I even so much as thought he was on the property, I would call the police to investigate. And I have done so. As of last night, Mr. Basement was arrested for ignoring the court ordered protection. He was in the basement helping pack at like 1AM. My new motion detectors in the back yard went off and sent me an alert. He had tried to sneak around the camera he knew was back there. But I have since upgraded and installed new hidden cameras. I was called an asshole for not informing them of the new cameras. Mrs. Basement is convinced I had seduced him and its my fault because I led him on. She yelled at me for trying to "take her man" and called me a lot of nasty things. She told me he only "offered" to do anything because they didn't want to move back in with family. It "was a sacrifice to keep her safe". There's no talking her down from that hill to die on so I have been keeping my distance. She has had a lot of "help" from family now and mostly, if I am home, I hear her family belittling her or her boyfriend's family scolding her. They think its her fault he tried to cheat and her fault they lost the apartment. They are not worried about staying quiet or calm because they are moving out anyway. 25 Year old sister: She only has a few big items left and has been mostlysleeping at her new place since it became apparent that I was going to have a rotating door of people staying with me. If she would try to leave a mess in the kitchen, she was met with judgmental stares. When she tried to take my TV in the living room while I was gone, Mr. Attic and a friend blocked her from leaving and called the cops. Its a newer smart TV. I had given Mr. Attic access to the other cameras until everyone was gone because I was worried for his and his friend's safety. She still curses me out when we manage to cross paths. She tried to cancel my internet and put "return to sender" on some mail that came in my name. The internet company has a special code for each account and she couldn't provide the code so they called me. My mail lady was confused and asked me about the mail, asking if I needed a forwarding address because I was moving. I'm going to get a lock box things for packages now. 27 Year old sister: I don't think she is looking for apartments. She keeps crying to me that she has nowhere to go. She tried to change the lock to her bedroom but I shut that down. I think she will try again. She has been bringing some guy around a lot but refuses to make introductions. He stays in her room mostly, only leaving to use the bathroom or watch her microwave ramen and eggs. He won't look anyone in the face and rolls his eyes when people try to talk to him. I'm worried this will turn into a squatter matter so I am working with my lawyer to have everything ready to remove him as well. Was he the boy toy from earlier?: I have no idea. I didn't know she had one and I don't know what he looked like. When I found out, it was only a name. Since she hasn't made introductions with him, I don't know who he is. Mr. Attic's blown cover: They haven't done much of anything to him since they seem to realize he was feeding me information. They blocked him. We are pretty sure they still think he has to move out too and him giving me stuff was a last ditch effort to stay. They won't even look at him anymore. The story of Mr. Attic (with his approval): Mr. Attic is the youngest of 7 (yes, that is right) kids. There would have 10 had there been proper medical care. His parents are heavily involved with their church and do not believe in a lot of things: modern medicine, birth control, non-traditional gender roles, ect. At this point, I'm pretty sure you can see where this is going. At 16, Mr. Attic was exposed to the outside world for the first time. Up until that point, he had been homeschooled and only knew people from his religious community. He started to sneak out to learn more. By 18, he had his childhood vaccines and a career picked out. When he told his family he wanted to learn medicine they tried to get him to "intern" with their family care people from the church. He perused real medicine and started classes to become a nurse. They were heavily resistant and hard to handle about it, but still talking to him. Mostly to try to force him back into the fold. He still lived at home so it was a constant battlefield. He began sleeping in his car on campus. But then he met a guy and his perspective on a lot more changed. They talked, they laughed, they danced. His family found out and went through the roof. They kicked him out with just the clothes on his back. They burned pictures of him, and any family photo that had him was either destroyed or he was cut out of. They cut him off from all family. They tried to take the car but it was in his name. They harassed and did a lot of terrible things to the guy he had been seeing. He was unable to handle the level of nuclear crazy that was Mr. Attic's family so he put a stop to their relationship. Mr. Attic, alone and desperate because of the upcoming winter, looked everywhere to get a place to stay. He crashed on a lot of couches for evenings at a time because fall hit fast and hard. No one could take him in long term because they were living at home or had roommates. He heard about my place from a friend of a friend and turned up one evening, asking like a small child if there was any room left. He offered to take the garage even, just a bed in the corner. I set him up in the attic and helped get him more clothes and a bed. I made intentional leftovers for the first few months and didn't take any rent until he had what he needed for class and himself. The rent started as just enough to cover his bills and after he got his career, it grew a little more. When I saw him on my porch, in dirty clothes and no jacket in October, I saw myself in January of the year I was shut out of my group home with just a bag of too small clothes, shoes with holes, an old hand-me-down ipad that hardly worked, and 50$ to my name. He told me he never forgot how kind I had been to him, and how kind I had been to let him bring in short term guests who also had nowhere to go until they could get on their feet. I hadn't known the full story when he first moved in, and I never pushed him. When he brought home a non-biological woman (I'm sorry, I don't know all the correct terms) and I didn't even blink, just offered spaghetti, he knew this was his place and I was his people. I didn't ask, didn't make a fuss, and offered some clothes for her. He always wanted to try to repay me but I always seemed to never need anything. He said I was always giving. I didn't see it like that. I've been invited to a cafe and bar. Ones that usually only caters to the LGBTQ+ community, but I am going to go and meet people. He'd like me to meet more of his friends. They really are wonderful people. Update 5 July 15th, 2025 AITA for not telling my roommates and sisters I am the owner? Update 5 I wanted to thank everyone for their kind words regarding Mr. Attic's story. I was honestly a little worried putting it out there like that but am glad I did. His friends have found the posts and have been reading off some of the comments for him. He turns red sometimes and tells them to stop. Someone in the comments had the idea to make "Team Attic" shirts and his one friend came by the cafe this morning with them. We were all wearing them when he came by before work and he laughed so hard he cried. And then he really cried. I felt bad but he told me he wasn't upset - he was just so warmed by all the kindness, grace, and wonderful vibes from the people reading my posts. He feels like he has a second community at his back now. This update isn't much: just the good, the bad, and the ugly. I really can't believe this is update 5 already. The good: I have been to the cafe twice now and both times have been charming, enlightening, and wonderful. I cannot stress how kind his friends and community are. They have spent their time teaching me, helping me navigate their terminology and have been so very patient with my relentless questions. (The food is kickass and they made me a pumpkin something that I could die for) The bad: I had the 27 year old's "friend" removed by police after he refused to leave of his own accord. He hit the number of days he was allowed to stay in the lease agreement and another handful of days would make him a tenant/squatter. I think they thought I didn't know that law or had forgotten or would be cool with him hanging around. (I did call him by the boy toy's name and he answered before immediately going back to her room.) So I think she was trying to get him to stay like their plan had originally been. He had a few bags of items and a laundry basket of clothes. He is well aware that I will call the police again if he shows up. She has not packed up a single thing. The ugly x3: My 25 year old sister is trying to sue me for "withholding inheritance". I don't know if she has a real lawyer, if its a cracker doing pro bono, or if its just an attempt to scare me into giving her money. I'm taking it to my lawyer in the next few days. Edit: I think she means my house. I never received anything from my parents - and my dad is not her dad so even if I had, she might not have been entitled to it. The police have not yet told me anything about the tracker found in my car. Mrs. Basement is trying to hide a bruise with some shoddy make up and big sunglasses. I can't say I know what caused the bruise, but I think we all have similar thoughts on the matter. She immediately goes inside anytime she sees me. Like, girl, I see you. Not a super big update or moving forward, but it feels nice to be able to type it all out. I am not the original poster.

Smoke detector batteries always seem to die in the middle of the night. After time and time again waking up in the middle of the night, finding a ladder, and replacing the battery, I knew there had to be a better way. A little research led me to 9V lithium-ion batteries, which can last up to 10 years in smoke detectors. I had no idea these even existed—I always assumed alkaline batteries were the best option. Lithium-ion batteries are a few bucks more, but they’re a smart investment to ensure your detectors work when you need them most! submitted by /u/rabbimarshak to r/LifeProTips [link] [comments]

Tldr; Wyze Cam and Smoke detector stopped a bad situation getting worse. Get ferrule kits. Be smart out there. So this is a two part, and I'll start it off simply by saying... Cameras and smoke detectors matter! Safety with these machines is paramount. Without either of these two setup, this situation I find myself in now posting about, could have be far worse. I had a small print going, about 45 minutes into a 2.5 hour run. I stepped outside to tend to my ducks, as it was their time. Not 15 minutes outside, I get an alert on my phone from my Wyze Cam notifying me that my ButterBot Cam has detected the sound of the smoke detector I have housed within my printer enclosure. With that I get back inside to the smell of an odd plastic warming up, and the printer telling me there's been an accidental power loss. I shut her down, open up the MB panel, and notice a bit of white residue on some of the stepper wiring. I move those aside, and come across the main power input and all of its toasted manner. Which leads me to part two, but I'm sure I know this answer well enough... Is there any salvaging this board or is it time to get a new one ordered up? Do I make an attempt to reach out to Creality concerning this board and the issue it faced? I've seen a few posts lately of this very thing and had ordered a ferrule kit to remedy the situation before it became this. It had been delayed, thus here I am. Be smart out there. submitted by /u/Away-Journalist4830 to r/ender3 [link] [comments]
