    I separate the name from the ID, so the IDs are relative to the specific device only, and the names represent the device and location.

    I’ve set the IDs for all my sensors to use a code. The letters identify the type of sensor, and the numbers are sequential when I got them. I also have a label maker and labeled all the devices with their codes.

    Example:

    AA##

    So my first temperature sensor is

    TS01

    Then the name of the sensor is a little more elaborate, where it includes the type of the sensor, the code, and the location.

    {Type} {ID} - {Location}

    So my bedroom motion sensor is:

    Motion MS02 - Bedroom

    Then if I have to rearrange anything, I don’t update the device ID, just the name and how it’s used.

    I recently moved and had to rearrange some of the devices. It wasn’t as bad as it could have been as I tried sticking the sensors in the proper rooms (ie all the old bedroom devices stayed in the bedroom). But there were some cases where I did have to rename them & update the integrations.

    An unfortunate series of events

    Soldier was firing blanks towards the officer, and the officer probably panicked and fired back; thinking they were being shot at.

    For those unaware: blank rounds / blanks is a special type of ammunition you can use in a real firearm that doesn’t have a projectile (ie the bullet). Military and police use blanks to simulate real ammo being fired out of the gun so they get used to the bang, mechanics of the firearm, having to reload, fixing jams, etc.

    Other than the actual bullet, there are only a few noticeable differences between real ammo and blanks:

    • The firearm has to be modified to be able to use the blanks. Usually they put a bright yellow plug at the end of the barrel. It helps the firearm function properly, and will catch a bullet in case live ammunition is used
    • The bang is a bit louder.

    From the officers perspective: they got calls saying there was a shooter. They arrive on scene, and someone starts shooting at them. I’d shit my pants too and shoot back

    AI slop. Newtons 3rd law of motion clearly doesn’t apply in the video

    Newtons 3rd Law of Motion

    If one object exerts a force on another object, then the other object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object.

    Therefore, the guy should have been launched back with the same amount of force; but he barely moves
