#they really need to use better passwords how does this keep happening

[lavendervalleyexpress]

I’m starting a collection

[madelynraemunson]

i need to know if we ever get jealous of eddie’s said short lived relationships. do we ever try to sabotage them? or are we the type to try and get along with them and thats when they’re like “oh no you two need to be together?”

(i know the answer in my heart but i want to hear what you think lol)

ex husband!eddie x reader

whaaat? sabotage eddie's relationships? 😵 that's diabolical. why on earth would we do that?

that one time we showed up to his house wearing a sundress after months of wearing sweats was TOTALLY unplanned! we had a date, after all.

and that one time we were dancing with eddie at the family bbq, rocking out to all our favorite songs like careless teenagers right in front of girlfriend #3 was all a ploy by our kiddos! right, kids? right? we do everything for the kids. they love seeing their parents happy and getting along. right, kids?

and are you really still on about the day of eli's talent show?? 🤦🏻‍♀️ we only asked girlfriend #9 to take a family photo of us because she was the only one that was around. that's all 😇 and she shouldn't be mad at us! eli LOVES taking pics with mommy and daddy. who is she to get in the way of a family, especially when kids are involved 🤨😤 (also, we didn't MAKE eddie place his hand where he did in the pictures. he literally did it by himself, on his own terms.)💋

...okay, bunnie you got me! we know damn well what we're doing 😅 but quite frankly, so does eddie.

you've got a date with david tonight. in fact, eddie knows was nice enough to house sit for you and help the kids with homework. an innocent, sweet little gesture. right?

you and david are watching a movie on his couch and things are getting steamy really fast. david is about to kiss you when...

RING! RING!

you pull away immediately. checking your phone to see who it is, you realize,

"it's my ex husband, that fucker. the house better be burning down." you go to answer it. "yes?"

“hey, sweetheart, this is eddie...the banished." he greets you. “i can't seem to find the measuring tape and was wondering if you knew where it was."

you're unsure as to why he would even need measuring tape. regardless, you reply,

"it's in with drawer of miscellaneous stuff. the one by the kitchen sink.”

"ahh, that's right. found it. thanks, babe."

but that's not the only useless call of the night. as your date with david continues, the calls keep coming through in seemingly calculated intervals. at the worst possible times. with the most irrelevant fucking questions.

“i can't find the baking soda." “where do you keep the batteries? the c batteries not the double As." "hey, just a heads up, you might wanna call somebody for this pipe." "what's the wifi password again?"

"EMUNSON1986!" you hiss. "the year you graduated high school."

"aww, really?" eddie coos. "that's endearing. thanks baby."

eventually after an hour, the calls stop. you and david were able to finish the movie, and get back to that steamy interaction before you were spammed mercilessly. david is now fiddling with your straps as you two are kissing, his available hand grazing your lower back, breath hitching when —

RING! RING!

"jesus h CHRIST!" you howl. "it's midnight for god's sake. this better be important. HELLO?”

"sorry," eddie mumbles on the other line. "remind me, i'm looking at your snake plant and was wondering how often these guys need watering? they look a little parched."

"once a day and i already did it," you say through gritted teeth.

"it's a new day, should they be watered again?"

"don't worry about it, eds."

"i always worry, sweetheart.”

david happens to hear this. giving you a side eye now, your date watches as you stay on the line with eddie for a couple of minutes. finally, you get eddie to agree to stop calling, which fills you with relief when you hang up the phone. your eyes then travel back to david, whom you begin to bat your flirty lashes at.

"now." you say. "where were we?"

"you should probably go home," david huffs. "looks like the fort still needs holding down."

you're seeing absolute red now. you are seething. that motherfucker.

your drive home is an angry, and sexually frustrated one. you can't believe eddie would sabotage your date like this, your only fun night out this week. he's in for it now.

"date ended early sweetheart?" eddie pouts at you the moment you walk into your house.

"bedroom," you order. "now."

tagging peeps who seemed interested in this lil universe! as always thank you for reading 💋

as promised... something!

....::::**•°✾°•**::::........::::**•°✾°•**::::.... ....::::**•°✾°•**::::....

She hears the distinctive sound of the WhatsApp video call. Its weird when they're in different countries, the mode of communication changes time and time again to avoid crazy roaming charges. She's used to being able to call him quick using the regular phone app, to see if he wanted her to pick up dinner or to ask him nicely if he would switch her laundry out for her.

It's weird to start over on another app, it almost feels like they're starting another relationship. It feels so different. The inside jokes and frequent questions about the HBO password are nowhere to be found, in it's place is an empty blank page, waiting hopefully to be filled with the same.

She picks up her phone from the edge of the bed and swipes to answer the call. She looks at the time when she does, 10:04, almost five minutes late for their scheduled call.

At least that has stayed the same.

The slight hum of the highway plays in the background, and there Andrew sits. He looks tired, but not over consumed. It's a good kind of tired, like the kind you get after a good, but long day. More of a content-tired. His hair is in the messiest bun possible, obvious that he needed it out of the way and had lost all ability to care. He's got his glasses on, and Y/N remembers when he Facetimed her from the eye doctor to see if they looked good before he ordered them.

She internally thinks that they still do.

"Hey love", he finally speaks between bites of a sandwich. She looks down at the table the phone is propped on, and sees the distinctive red and white wrappings.

"Are you kidding, you went to Wawa without me..."

"I'm sorry! The band voted before we left Philly! I told them you'd be mad but they don't seem to care about my marriage so... I had to"

"This is a betrayal, of the highest degree. I can't picture a world where I can forgive you"

"If I could ship one across the Atlantic to you, you know I would"

There is a few beats of silence, they both know that statement means more than just a sandwich.

She finally breaks,

"How are you holding up?"

"Eh, not bad. I've not been this tired in a while but I'll get used to it soon. I've done it before."

"It's quiet in the bus, where is everyone else?"

"Sleeping"

"So everyone else is sleeping and you stayed up to call me?

He takes another bite of his sandwich before answering simply,

"Yeah."

She stares at him through the phone as he keeps eating like he doesn't understand the niceness of his actions, it's just second nature to him.

"Thank you," she says, voice full of genuine earnestness.

He doesn't respond to that, instead, he switches to another topic. He doesn't feel like he needs thanks for his actions, he would rather thank her for being around to call him.

"How are you at home, everything good?"

"Yeah, there was a dead bird in the yard yesterday, Elwood found it while we were playing, he almost picked it up but I got to him before he did. That's honestly the most exciting thing that's happened here since you left."

"But that's the joy of the country isn't it, that nothing ever happens?"

"Yeah. But I would rather do nothing with you than do nothing alone"

There's a long stretch of silence between them before Andy notices a tear fall down Y/N's cheek. There are no other signs of her sadness, no shaking shoulders or audible sounds. Just a few gentle tears that he would've missed if he wasn't so utterly enraptured by her face on the five-inch screen. His heart breaks.

"Hey hey, it's ok love, it's just a bit longer. I'll be home for a break in a few weeks. "

"I know. It's just really hard."

He doesn't know what to say to that at first. He wants to hammer on about how she knew what she was getting into, and this was an inevitability. But he knew she knew that. Him repeating it isn't going to make either of them feel any better. The next part of him yearned to just get on a plane and be at home, but that wasn't fair to anyone. Not his bandmates, not the concertgoers, and not Andy who loved what he did more than anything.

All he could say was

"I know."

You imagine the separation being hard but no one really prepares you for it. You can't prepare for it. It's the pain of losing a routine and a lover all at once. It's the frustration of needing help, of needing someone to take something off your plate and having someone willing to, but that someone is 1000 miles away. Literally.

She's crying a little harder now, still silent, with the tears increasing in frequency and size. He says again,

"I know. I know how hard it is cause I feel it too. You know what I miss the most right now?"

"What?"

"I miss the things that you do that piss me off. The annoying stuff. I miss how you always steal bites of my food."

She can't help but laugh at that. He keeps talking,

"I miss how cold your feet are and how you're always trying to shove them under me to warm them. And how often you leave dirty clothes on the floor."

She joins in this time,

"I miss your hair clogging the shower drain. And how you use every possible dish when you cook."

"See, doesn't it hurt a little less knowing that you don't have to unclog the shower for a while?"

"Yeah, and I'm sure you sleep easier without my cold feet poking you."

Theres another small pause, but this one is not as sad as the rest of them. This one feels like two people comfortable with each other, just basking in the silence, feeling no pressure.

"It sucks love, it really does. But it gets easier. And there are less shitty days. And it's not for forever."

"Ok, it's shitty, but I've felt shittier. And it's not for forever."

"Yeah."

"OK," she says, wiping her eyes a bit to try to show a bit of a braver face, "this is getting kind of bummer-ish, talk to me a bit about tour stuff"

For the rest of the call, he prattled on about various events and hijinks at his shows, on the road, and in between. About halfway through the story, he realized that she had fallen asleep and for some reason, he finished the story before hanging up. Possibly hoping that she would wake back up, but mostly enjoying the domestic feeling of talking to her. He eventually hung up, settling with the fact that she was indeed asleep for real. A few hours and a timezone later after he woke up from his own nap, he noticed a WhatsApp message again,

I forgot the HBO password again...

AS SAID BY KASUMI GOTO *  assorted dialogue from mass effect 2 and 3, adjust as necessary

i swear to god, i didn't touch anything.

in case i don't see you again, thanks. that was a lot of fun.

and the "boxers or briefs" question is finally answered.

there's a certain aura about you. like you've seen things no one else has.

there's no way you're recruiting me to fight in a galactic war.

i wouldn't bring you here if it wasn't dangerous.

this is our stop.

you say the nicest things.

i'm a thief. stealing? it's who i am.

by the way, are you going to call security?

hey, come on. i never get caught.

ugh, i really need to avoid dairy.

you know, twenty years from now, this could be worth a fortune.

all right. i'm in.

nice working with you again.

this place has more money than it knows what to do with.

well... nobody's perfect.

hey, i'm nostalgic, not dead.

i like the seedier towns. they're prettier.

maybe when we're done with the mayhem thing, i could come back and... recover a thing or two.

now stop bothering me!

this is all i have left.

i imagine with all that's happened, old friends are becoming a luxury.

you know what i haven't had in ages? ramen.

come back later. i'm sure i'll have more to talk about.

i'm not really sure what to do with myself.

i'll stay off the grid. no one will know i exist.

well, that didn't go as expected.

we've never seen each other in person.

no one knows what i look like.

if we're lucky, you won't even have to draw your gun.

i always expect trouble. that's why you're here.

we should probably wrap this up.

see you on the ship.

you'd look really out of place at a society party in armor, don't you think?

i was just thinking about you.

i go through everyone's drawers.

[name] won't be able to keep his eyes off you.

getting it back will be easier with your help.

please tell me your password, [name].

good to finally meet you. i'm a fan.

my grandmother used to make the best ramen.

honestly, i'm shocked they didn't come to see me sooner.

it's my fault for being hard to find.

i'm the best thief in the business, not the most famous. need to watch my step to keep it that way.

i needed to make sure all this was legit.

you're the real deal.

even without knowing what you looked like, i knew it was you.

that's a bit of a story.

they were looking for me, so i trailed them to find out why.

i guess it slipped their minds.

i'm planning to get it back.

you'll get a briefing when the time comes.

i have a way in, and i think you're going to love it.

you'll want to look presentable.

you look great. you should wear this stuff more often.

you have been waiting patiently.

they won't hassle you over a sidearm.

you have excellent taste in underwear.

i thought about living here for a while, but everybody's so tight-ass.

it's all about money to these people.

i do what i do for the love of it. these people do it because they don't know any better.

i'm not a scientist.

this is why i don't put strange liquids in my mouth.

it's a plant!

was i that obvious?

people are talking out there... and i hear it all.

sounds like you two had a nice date.

it's nice to be able to look out a window for a change.

how many bedrooms does this place have?

i'm not really lactose intolerant, i just don't put up with lactose's stupid drama.

there's something about the feel of actual paper in your hands.

When non-hierarchal decision making breaks down

I already posted this here but I wanted to make it into a post of its own. There are a lot of things that can go wrong in non-hierarchical decision making. This post will be focusing on what coordinators (assigned or informal) can do that can undermine the non-hierachical nature of the group and can put more power in the hands of the coordinator.

Within groups genuinely committed to non-hierarchy, everybody needs to be committed to maintaining a space where it is always socially acceptable to say ‘I think you’re having too much power over this decision making process’ and we all gotta teach each other how to recognize dynamics like that.

Some examples of what to look for:

One person is coordinator for a long time and takes offense at the idea of someone else taking over. Someone taking over would not be seen as a normal rotation of tasks but as a judgement on the coordinator.

Alternatively: a group of close friends rotate key positions and nobody else in the group ever holds a key role.

The coordinator proposes what must be done, instead of letting the group come up with ideas together. The thing the coordinator wants to do ends up being the thing the group decides to do a lot of the time.

Some people talk far more in meetings than others and the coordinator does not take steps to restore the balance and create space for the quieter members to speak.

If the coordinator is sick, the meeting does not happen or no key decisions are made. If anyone else is sick, the meeting carries on as usual.

Meeting dates and times are set by the coordinator alone or by a small group who inform the others.

Access tools such as keys to the meeting space, access to the back account and passwords of the groups email-addresses, website and social media accounts, are not shared with the whole group. 

Important skills, knowledge and networks are not shared. Group members with a less central position can not take over key tasks because they have not been allowed to learn how to do them or build the connections to organize them.

The key decision makers all live in the same house or hang out together a lot, other members find that the plan is already 90% done by the time the actual meeting takes place and they can’t really go in a different direction anymore.

Members that challenge the coordinator(s) are ‘accidentally’ not invited to meetings or meetings are always planned on a day when they have other obligations. 

Meetings in which the coordinator(s) does not get their way are dragged on until members get too tired and agree to the coordinators proposal to get out of the meeting.

Members that challenge the coordinator(s) are told they’d have a bigger part in decision making if they’d do more work, attend more meetings, etc. A few members use the fact that they have a lot of time and a lot of energy to dominate groups and efuse to change their decision making process and meeting schedule to better incorporate members who have a demanding job, or young kids, or who are often low on energy or who can’t travel much, etc. This often ends up putting marginalized people on the side lines, as they often have a lot more stuff on their plate to deal with, and it especially impacts disabled people who can not conform to abled ideas about productivity. At worst, people who can’t keep up with the grueling pace set by the high-energy abled folks face to choice to either burn out or get out.

This is an incomplete list. Feel free to add your own.

None of this means that non-hierarchical decision making can not work. I would argue that it is the only decision making that really works. But we have to keep working at it and recognizing when it's not functioning as intended and we have to be ready to accept the idea that our decision making process needs to be improved upon.

RWTGI 36 - 37.2 Thoughts

Forgive the 3 chapters at once, lol. If you want to read my thoughts on the latest chapter, it's on down below!

Chapter 36

If you tell me 2 years ago that Yoshino would sleep in the corridor to wait for Kirishima, I would laugh in your face. I never thought this day would come when she's genuinely worried for him.

(Then again, he almost died trying to save her and they have been close lately, so that's fair)

WOW okay queen, slayy. Ugh those pillows look so soft-

That aside, I was shocked. I get that she was too tired to change, but really Asuka? Really? Blatant fanservice outta nowhere? Is she trying to grab the male demographic too? Not that it didn't grab the females already with that kind of bod-

WHY do we get Yoshino's full bod, yet we only get a glimpse of Shouma's abs? I demand equality.

Oh Yoshino. What are you, a dog? How could you differentiate Kiri's smell amongst all else??

Wow Kiri really uses his room as a front. He really didn't lie when he said he can't sleep near anyone's presence. He's like an animal hiding inside a deep cave. And to think his real bedroom is the same place where he often received his punishment.

In the raws, Yoshino actually says in a small note, "That's so typical of Kirishima (to keep things spotless)..."

I remember when Kiri always tidied up Yoshino's mess. I thought he only did it because it's for her, but to think he also keep his own place spotless... Does he have OCD? Then again, serial killers like keeping their place clean-

Question: If Kirishima is inside, how the hell did he lock his place using that kind of lock?

It's giving the vibe of a villain' secret lair.

Why is the room so cold though. I thought it's still October/November. Did he not install a heater there, or did he intentionally blast an AC to freeze some randos who try to break in?

My heart JUMPED when I saw him in the corner of the panel. That panel placement is a genius.

I was so relieved when I see him 🥺🥺 I'm glad he's not masochistic enough to keep his wounds infected. At least he got some treatment (hopefully from the hospital, but I'll take what I can get).

Wow, she really made sure she didn't see a dead body.

SCREAMING CREAMING CRYING.

Asuka really knows how to make a cliffhanger.

THANK YOU for the precious glossary, scans team! 💞😭

Chapter 37.1

Awright! Yoshino and Kirishima finally meet! This means Yoshino would call Shouma about Kirishima so he won't report this incident to Renji! Right?

Judging by his passwords, I thought I was getting better at reading him. Turns out he intentionally made it easier to guess? Wow, way to make a person feel like an idiot.

He really takes Tsubaki's advice to heart 🤣 Starting to regret the time when you burn those albums, don't you.

(Did he burn his all his photos because of sentimental reason, or because he didn't want his enemies to find his weakness?)

Okay, so he really went to the hospital. Good.

Kiri got to have some serious enemies if he only goes to a hospital he could trust.

It's been hammered down again and again that he has no one he completely trust except Yoshino. I hate this kind of set up. It's cliché, yet, it's still playing with my heart.

The way he tried to warm her nosee aughh

Those movements, and no resistance from Yoshino at all?? This is new. She must be really worried and thankful to even care about their positions.

Kirishima, you really said some crazy stuff sometimes.

What. The fuck. Do you mean. You're prepared. To be a missing person. And. To be. An unnamed corpse. Just. To keep. Yoshino. Safe.

I know I said he's unhinged, but he still managed to shock me. I'm impressed.

Istg he's really testing my heart lately. Wdym I'm gonna fall again for Miyama Kirishima. It's not gonna happen?? (It happens)

Still no phone call for Shouma. I hope it's on the next chapter.

Chapter 37.2

Woow, a lot of subtext in this episode. You really need to read between the lines to understand their convo.

Everybody trust Kirishima enough (due to his track records) to protect Yoshino so they're not worried for her safety at all; if anything, it'd be Soumei Renji who's in most trouble.

Basically, Renji from Kirigaya Group (Kansai region) has many enemies because he made a pact with Gaku from Tokusa Group (Kantou region) -- to form a peaceful(?) alliance; despite their clashing ideals. Renji also negotiated for his group to join Kantou region despite the difference in region. Both regions have been on feud for 60 years and it should be for a good reason, so there must be a lot of people within Kirigaya and Tokusa who weren't happy with this joint. (I have to revisit ch 1, 7, & 8 to understand this, sigh). Just a reminder, there was a similar attempt in the past, but it ended with a gang war.

Dang, so even Suo Azami's real identity is faked.

Azami is a drug and weapon dealer?? Fuck.

If we remember ch 26, Akame Hishibe from Tokusa and Azuma Narumi from Kirigaya are conspiring against Renji. Narumi probably aimed to be Kirigaya's number 1 after Renji died, but what about Hishibe? What's his aim? Kirishima said Azami is currently used by yakuza. Could it be, Hishibe made Azami kill Renji because he promised him he'd make a huge profit from drugs and weapons because there's gonna be a gang war once Renji is dead?

I strayed off, lol. Anyways, back to the chapter.

So, as long as Renji is unaware of Yoshino's kidnap, she and Kirishima could live together happily ever after. Now please call Shouma that Kirishima is back safely so he won't have to tell Renji, please.

Wow Kirishimaa. He is so stupidly honest, but sometimes he's such a crafty little shit. This is the same when he agreed to do paper-rock-scissors with Yoshino because he's aware he'd win. He made Yoshino think she has her own choice, when in fact it's all a set up by him. Real glad Yoshino busted his ass this time though, he can't get away with this forever.

Asuka be trying real hard with this whole show-don't-tell, huh. In short, Kirishima finally told Yoshino directly that he's been obsessed interested in her since 12 years old. He's so in love with her, to the point where her small quirk is so endearing to him. Without her, he would've been bored to death. He'd rather die without her, but he'd do his best to live if he's with her.

Sad, but Yoshino couldn't understand his devotion. She thought based on her understanding, love is something that'd wear out sooner or later. She couldn't really rely on Kirishima's feeling forever; and thus, she payed him with money as an insurance because money's value won't change while feelings might change; or at least that's her logic.

(After all the buildup, she still couldn't trust him completely. Is this bc she's traumatized with his drastic change in ch 2? 😭 Wow Kirishima, you fucked up big time)

Woow Yoshino, way to gaslight him what he feel is not love 😂 when your understanding of 'love' is probably just a crush 🤣

Does she realize if they managed to catch Suo Azami, they're essentially preventing a gang war? Probably not.

Heh. She covered her nose because it's cold. Cute.

Wdym she placed herself in that side of the bed. She won't be able to escape easily in that position. Kirishima could just lean to her side with his uninjured hand. Is she not sus Kirishima would do something to her? And why she sleep with him in the first place when she could just go back to her room? She really trust him now, huh.

The tearrss. Is that a tear of relieve, happiness? Or is that a tear of tiredness, lol.

Aww, Kiri. He used to say he can't sleep with anyone's presence including Yoshino, but look at him now 🥹

I am glad you guys made a stronger team than ever, but

CAN SOMEONE CONTACT SHOUMA SO HE WON'T TELL ON RENJI PLEASE??

Damn this turned out much longer than I expected, lmao. But that's because these chapters have been bombs. Can't wait for the next one! XD

Main Story - Part 4

Main Story: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 5 Part 6

Hidden Story: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5

Plot Analysis: Part 1 Part 2

Puzzle Solver Analysis

(If decide to go to the next location first) Page 46 doesn’t give the specific location, but it does have a detailed route, mentioning places like Meditation Pond(?) and Qinglian Pavilion(?). Mom confirms they are still places in the park according to the map.

Detective comments on the map looking like a hand drawing from the diary. There’s a QR code but it’s incomplete. There are more clues on pages 47, 48, and 49. Finishing the QR code will give the next location.

Fold it first, cover it with the map, then follow the suggested route through the map step by step.

It will look like pictures above (with the blue line on the map). It passes through the letters HE and LP.

Blacken the corresponding letters HELP to scan it. You get the answer after scanning it to get the picture: Orson Villa(?). Detective tells the mom she should find an abandoned villa at the location. Mom says she’s never heard of it. Detective says her daughter climbed the walls on the northside.

The place is really well hidden, and the large fence keeps the mom from entering. The barbed wire on the fence causes the mom to comment just seeing it makes her feel pain in her legs. Detective states they need the key before they can enter, which are in the girl’s room.

The mom heads home to her daughter’s room. The Detective says the keys should be in a safe. The mom can’t open it. Detective suggests she picks the lock. Mom says she should have tools to open it, but her toolbox is nowhere to be found. (Detective’s thoughts: “She knows a lot…” referring to the mom having tools and knowing how to picklock a safe). Detective makes a note that she actually knows how to use picklocking tools(?).

Object on top of the safe looks like a dice from in the game. The girl had to have bought it online, but mom says she doesn’t give her pocket money. Detective says not to underestimate the girl, she may be more mature than her peers. The mom doesn’t comment. Detective suggests looking for the package it came in. They find it. It has a shop name on it. Detective looks it up.

Find a 10k yuan dice. Below that are pictures. The number on the back of each dice is the password. Answer is 312414.

Detective comments the girl must’ve had money. When mom asks how much, he says she doesn’t want to know. Mom wonders if the girl stole her card. Detective makes a note wondering if it got stolen.

Detective wonders how she could not know if her card was stolen. Mom says she doesn’t know how it happened. Detective comments that, not only does she not know her own daughter, but she also doesn’t even know herself well. The key is inside the safe, which they can use to go inside Orson Villa. Detective tells her to look for where the key will be useful.

It’s dark inside and smells really bad. Detective asks if she’s been there before. She says she’s not sure, and that it’s too messy. Says it’s all disgusting and comments on having a headache. Detective goes to game for more clues. She goes outside to breath better in the meantime.

80129 mentions the girl had a photo of a coat rack. There’s one in the lobby. Clicking it gives another letter.

“A place where you live every day and sleep peacefully every night.” Detective says if the girl followed the instructions, she should’ve gone back “home”.

Mom comments isn’t it normal for her to come home and then asks what she was doing here. Detective comments the clue says she was to go home and find something, something deliberately hidden. Detective says diary mentions a safe at home (and to go look).

Detective asks if they have a safe, who put it there? Mom can’t remember. Detective her husband must have hid it, “Who else could it be?”. He also says “Your daughter looked for secrets related to her father and found the safe hidden by her father”. Mom tells him to stop guessing and hopes girl hasn’t been to this place.

Before she goes home, Detective asks if there’s a coat rack/hanger there and to see what’s in the coats. Mom: “this is…”. Detective asks if she found anything, but she says it’s dirty and doesn’t want to touch it. Mom: “I’m a little sick, can I go now?” and he says alright, can go home now.

Back at home, mom asks what her girl found in the house. Before he answers that, he asks if her husband’s name was Liu Bingsen (?). Mom: “…”. Detective tells her to answer. She says yes before he died in a car accident (mom seems reluctant to answer).

He asks how the relationship was between you two. Mom says she doesn’t want to answer (suspicious). Detective says the end result must be related to her husband, “I hope you aren’t hiding anything from me”. Mom: “I don’t believe it… he died in a car accident 10 years ago.” (yet her daughter has been searching for the truth of the car accident).

Detective gets friend to go to Orson Villa (with his “master key”). Directs him to the dark room the mom had been in.

Friend manages to get in. Looks like it’s been mostly abandoned for a long time. Detective asks if the girl actually came in here. Friend says there are some new traces, obvious due to the dust. Detective asks what she did here. Friend says someone came in shortly after it was abandoned. Not a recent thing. Friend asks who else knows. Detective says Identity V, saying the game must be hiding something. They were guided to this place by the game, as was the girl.

Detective asks his friend to look for clothes behind the door of the secret room, and asks if there’s anything in it. Friend finds a paper in a pocket, which says: “They won’t let me go. Something will happen sooner or later.”

(Received some other notes around the same time)

“Older Files (3) The goods are in excellent condition. There are many requirements that need to be fulfilled. First is a good physical examination, although they have been corrupted in the soul and do not have a normal state of mind, but as long as they have …gone through the process, many goods still have a high value. Second is to ensure the health and survival of the donation(?). For this reason, in the preparation stage… food is required, which is not difficult for most subjects. Third is storage. There must be qualified refrigeration equipment, which… nowadays, requires not only space, but a lot of electricity, which must be financially supported in order to continue and… because the developer is closing down, it will soon become unusuable, and the electricity consumption will be very abrupt. Fourth is…”

“Old Files (4) Base diameter 8cm, height 15cm, plus compartment padding, 3 pipe position, external treatment. Sufficient as a substitute. Adjust biuret dosage to avoid overcooling paying attention to the copper wire density. Duration of the experiment, not less than 36H. New pre-test reagents are needed”

Detective shows the mom the note his friend found after commenting about the car accident and it seeming a bit strange. Says the note may have been left by her husband. He may have had a hunch something would happen to him. Mom: “This is… No no… it’s not…” (When the mom was in that room, she did see the coat and the note, but didn’t take it. To hide it from the Detective maybe?). Detective says her husband was probably killed for investigating something. Mom: “Killed? …That’s impossible.” She says he doesn’t remember him being afraid or anything. Detective: “Is that really true? Or are you psychologically protecting yourself via selective forgetting? The mom continues to deny it, saying he was calm, composed, as he usually is. Detective: “Doubtful. If what you say is true, then this diary… Unless you are still hiding it from me”. The mom doesn’t want him to say anymore. Detective asks if she loves her husband. She says he was nice to her and she’s grateful to him. Detective repeats his question. Mom says she’d love to repay him. Detective: “Answer me. Do you love him?” Mom: “I love our daughter so much.” Detective: “…”. Mom says she’ll talk about him after finding her daughter.

Detective knows she’s conflicted and asks for more info on the car accident. Mom says he can read it in the newspaper of that year. Mom says she doesn’t know anything about the car accident. He says what’s more bizarre is the person behind the scenes who’s been helping the girl and giving them hints, “Someone’s trying to reveal something”. Mom asks if it’s the truth of her husband’s death.

(Picture of newspaper. Seems the key point here is it wasn’t accidental. It was man-made.)

Detective says it doesn’t make sense for a game to be sending someone letters of interest, then thinks it’s not just the girl or them. This person is watching everyone. Mom only cares about finding the girl.

JOURNAL 18. LOCATION: BURNED TOWER

<<I'm not sure how to explain what just happened, but I'll try my best. I still can't really believe it...

Everybody that I talked to said that Gym Leader Matsuba was off in the Burned Tower looking for something, so I finally gathered up the courage to go inside. It was dark, it was a little scary, and it DEFINITELY felt like I wasn't allowed inside.

Matsuba was there, but he seemed really focused on other things and totally brushed me off. (He did snap at me to shut off Buena's Password on my Pokegear though. I get it, but come on--some of us need distractions when we're in some scary place!) At least the entire floor was lit up by all these crawling Slugma. I caught a really mellowed-out one and nicknamed her FLO. (Cute, huh? Hopefully Bill likes it!)

Matsuba wasn't talking to me, but the other person he was with definitely did. Have you ever been lectured about Suicune for thirty minutes straight? You haven't? Then you probably haven't talked to Eusine...

I told him that I'd read all about the myths in school, but he just scoffed! Said that the myths were very real, and he was going to find his answers right here in this old tower. He asked me to help out, and honestly? His enthusiasm was kind of contagious, so I said yes. Plus, I wasn't as scared because of all the people here now...

INCLUDING SILVER. Why was this guy here?! Why does he always show up at the most inconvenient times? And why is he such a jerk?!

Of course he challenged me to a stupid battle!! And before I could say no, or something about the rotting floor beneath us, Minerva flew out of her Ball to protect me...oh well.

Silver has a Houndour now. When he sent it out, I could feel my blood running cold all over again, but Mira bailed me out...and totally busted open the floor in the process. I thought that was it for me...

I can't really describe what I saw next. The myths that I told you about? They were THERE. They all took form in front of me...and bolted, except for Suicune. It almost glided towards me, blinked, and then took off with the rest of them. I could just sense its power...that aura...like I said, I don't know what exactly happened...

But Eusine was there. He had jumped into the hole after me and was looking at me like I was some sort of god. It was SO embarrassing, but he DID help me climb back up. He seems really invested in my success now, too--even telling me that Matsuba's whole strategy relies on putting Pokemon to sleep...

(Matsuba was UPSET about that little detail. I thought he was going to kill Eusine with his glare ALONE. I bolted before the tension could get any worse, but I had to promise to keep Eusine updated on the way out. I could hear them both start to argue as I left...)

The legendary myths are real. You might find this journal and call me crazy. But I know what I saw. They're out there somewhere, but right now, I'd better get to sleep. Thanking the world for DJ Mary's sleep mix.

We've got a big battle tomorrow.>>

[loser-female]

I'm perfectly aware that the place to put this post is linkedin and not Tumblr.com (although i might make a more professional-looking version).

Anyway, I'm horrified by the amount of cyber attacks that are happening in the last few days. Especially because a couple of these are really big companies, and one would think they have an IT department that knows how to do their job. Even better, they should have at least one person that deals with cybersecurity.

I know that security operations centers (where we use very expensive systems to monitor the networks and the assets of the companies, plus we often investigate previous security incidents and produce intelligence reports) are expensive. I work in one and it's not the solution that works for everyone. A small company with few employees definitely cannot afford a SOC, but a big corporation? That would be nice (again, it's not the only solution and every client is different, you need to tailor the cybersecurity solution to the client).

But a videogame studio? I would expect them to take security seriously. And not only because of the data involved, but industrial espionage is a thing (although it's difficult to prove and it happens rarely that it's taken to a court, however it does happen), but it's a risk. A worldwide clothing company? A fucking bank? Sure.

The problem with certain things it's that "it won't happen to me". Until it does. And you end up paying 300x than you would be paying at least a cybersecurity consultant to prevent the attack.

Even better, a lot of the simplest measures are free to implement. No USB from home policy. Disabling local administrator accounts. Implement a strong password policy. Implement a blacklist for suspicious websites (and also, maybe stop downloading cracked software if you don't know where to find reputable sources? I see you trying to download that CoD aimbot, how embarrassing)

Implement a strong antispam policy (which is fundamental, as this is very very often the access point - you send a targeted spam email to a company with 3k employees and I can guarantee you that at least one will download the malicious file or insert the credential on the fake office 365 website, it's just what it is.)

But most people won't, because "it's annoying" and users don't want to put the effort to like, keep their fucking job and remember a 12 character password(yes, a company can suffer so much damage from a cyber attacks that it might even close the business, and yes, I had to fight with clients that refuse to change their AD admin accounts set in 2015 even when I told them about a potential leak) Not to mention that the data stolen often is the employees data. And you don't want your identity stolen by a criminal, do you?

And the danger when these attacks are carried against hospitals. People can die if the whole network shuts down because no one cared to implement basic cybersecurity.

And it's not true that organisations don't have the budget. We both know you are lying lol.

Don't get me wrong, there is nothing foolproof, there will always be a certain amount of risk.

I just expect people to use some good sense and I'm often disappointed lol.

[foxpunk]

like, on one hand i get it. i logically understand the motives behind why tumblr is making the decisions they are making. i just do not think that their motives MUST line up with these specific decisions.

in the end, tumblr needs more revenue. full stop. that is not up for debate. if they do not get it somehow, then tumblr is going to shut down because they simply cannot keep things running, and it will happen much MUCH sooner than most of y'all are at all prepared for. hell, it's already something they've been delaying well past when other sites would have been scrapped (well...aside from twitter but that is a recent and extreme example).

so i get why they need more activity, i get why they need more users, i get why they need to have a shop and micro-transactions. i truly do.

but tumblr is not going to be gaining any new users if it becomes a copy-cat for something that already exists. the amount of new and active and dedicated users they will get is minimal when those users can simply be active on another app/site that does the same thing (and likely already does it better). why seek out tumblr when every other app already has an algorithmic main feed? why seek out tumblr when every other app has live video? why seek out tumblr when every other site has a minimally customizable default profile?

what makes tumblr what it is? the surface answer is it's the communities and the fandoms and the memes, but what is it about tumblr that allowed these to develop the way they did? it certainly wasn't an algorithm, or live stream, or online shop.

if you want people to get hooked on tumblr, show them what they can do HERE that they CAN'T simply do on another app. yeah sure all the new features (live, for you, etc.) are fun for new users who are used to twitter and instagram and the like, and the option to use them can make those new users feel less out of their depth. but if that's all you're promoting they aren't gonna stick around, cause they can get that literally anywhere else. if you're gonna try n sell tumblr as a product then you need to realize the key to selling a product amongst competition is making it so that people need that product and what it offers Specifically.

one thing i never see talked about for this is hashtags not just as a promotional tool but as an organizational one. you can search through specific blog and see everything in a specific tag On That Blog. thats HUGE. it's SO useful. regardless of how it can mess up at times, literally NO other modern social media site lets you do that! livejournal and wordpress are the only things that come close, and livejournal is old as shit and largely inactive, while wordpress has a VERY different target audience.

pair that together with how reblogs work and you have an AMAZING thing going here and you're just letting it Sit There with no spotlight on it.

another thing: ASKS. GOD. WHY ARE Y'ALL NOT PROMOTING ASKS. HELLO. they're such a fun and unique way to interact on this site. the messenger is great but every social media has DMs these days. asks are something truly different and, again, they're just sitting there with NO spotlight on them.

another recent feature that i actually really really love is reblog controls. they are separate from having to turn your entire account private to get people to not look at/spread a post. they're perfect for people who don't want to bother password protecting their entire damn blog but still don't want a certain post spreading. talk about that! i'm sure it'd draw some people away from twitter, since you have to adjust privacy settings for your entire profile if you wanna manage who can and can't interact with a tweet.

and if you're worried about people being confused by reblogs and replies and the like. it is literally as simple as having a little slide show with cute graphics explaining what those are when people are signing up. hell, make multiple cute little slideshows. explain reblogs vs replies, explain tags and the specific way they work on tumblr, explain the different sections on the dash. don't make it little pop text bubbles on the dashboard, people hate pop ups. 9/10 they are not gonna look at them or accidentally click out of them and then they're gone and your user is lost. just have it be a page people are directed to before they hit the dashboard. it is THAT simple. let people be able to revisit that page easily. boom. one and done. you had that annoying ass wind up denture icon popping up for all of us, why not put a little icon in the corner for new accounts to revisit the "tutorial" if they forgot something? it literally is that easy it is SO easy. holy shit.

if you're so worried about users being confused by anything different from other social media, it's your job to EXPLAIN THOSE DIFFERENCES. NOT squash them out, are you fucking kidding me hellooo!! sure okay make things a lil more streamlined and definitely improve WCAG, but don't just fucking toss out features that aren't ACTUALLY complicated or inaccessible!! GODDD

it is not actually that complicated to explain a few new concepts to new users. learn how to frame things in a fun way upon sign-up instead of obfuscating any and all information behind 10 different staff/support/wip/changes/etc blogs and the least helpful help desk in existence.

also, i know they already clarified they aren't gonna be doing this, but if they push non-optional algorithm onto the Main Feed i'm gonna blow this whole place up (for legal reasons i must clarify this is a Joke). like. just find me on mastodon at that point.

edit: to clarify what i've already said. i think having algorithmic options (OPTIONAL options) for new users is Fine in the end. like, it's a fair compromise (mentioned that in some tags earlier but realized i didn't say that on this post specifically). i have issues with how it's opt-OUT rather than opt-IN, but in the end it's not really going to affect much (so long as chrono feeds are an option, and are not taken from users who already have them set as chrono). and honestly neither will all the smaller (general UI) changes they are going to be experimenting with. the site and it's core features will largely function the same way.

i'm mostly frustrated with tumblr making all these changes to conform rather than to stand out from the pack.

the one thing i AM worried about is that they hinted at messing with reblogs and replies more though. don't touch them lol. like i said, just actually explain shit to your new users and you'll be FINE lord almighty

10 signs she’s not into you – She likes you, just not that way

by eharmony Editorial Team - November 22, 2023

You’ve been on a few dates, things are going swimmingly… but you just can’t shake the feeling she’s not as into you as you are her. Or things were going fantastically, but now they’re not and you’re wondering how do you know someone is not into you anymore? The easiest solution would be to just ask, but such conversations aren’t always easy. Let’s look at 10 signs she’s not into you, and ways to handle each.

1. She doesn’t want to spend time with you

She’s busy when you have plans and, when you do manage to meet up, there’s often somewhere she has to be soon. She’ll cancel plans and make no real effort to reschedule. If she really was interested, she’d make it happen. If she’s not moving heaven and earth to spend time with you, odds are she’s not into you.

How to deal: Put the ball in her court for choosing the date and time of your next date. If she wants to be with you, she will.

2. She actively avoids touching you

People often use touch to indicate interest and will ‘innocently’ brush your arm as they pass, or place a hand on your arm during conversation. They’ll also try to be close enough that you can touch in return. If that’s not happening – or if she was touching you before but isn’t now – it’s one of the signs she isn’t interested.

How to deal: Let her decide the level of intimacy and back off any touching you were doing.

3. She’s not interested in what you have to say

How do you tell if a girl is not into you? She doesn’t think what you have to say is worth listening to. People often feel more connected to people they have things in common with and, sometimes, those commonalities can be the foundation of a deeper relationship. However, if her eyes are glazing over or she’s just making random sounds of agreement rather than being actively engaged, it may be she’s not into you.

How to deal: It’s possible the problem is the topic, or that you’re accidentally monopolizing the conversation. Quiet down and let her talk instead.

4. Her body language is saying a lot, none of it good

Even if she’s being diplomatic out loud, you can still catch signs she’s not interested by how she moves around you. Does she not make eye contact often? Does she lean away rather than towards you? Is her posture closed off rather than open and relaxed? She might just be having a bad day, but they might also be signs she doesn’t want a relationship with you.

How to deal: Keep your own body language open and relaxed, there’s a chance she might mirror it.

5. She’s an unenthusiastic texter

If you’re asking yourself, ‘how do I know when she’s losing interest?’ look at how she texts. Are you always the one to send the first text? Does she takes a while to reply when before it was practically instant? Or she keeps any texts short and to the point when before you could talk for hours? It’s a pretty good sign she’s not into you.

How to deal: Resist the urge to blow up her phone. Instead, ask if there’s another way she’d prefer to communicate, or times that work better for her.

6. She only contacts you when she needs something

The only time the phone lights up is when she needs a favor, or she’s bored. Otherwise, she’s too busy to hang out or even reply to your messages. While all of us have busy times in our lives, if she only pops up when it’s convenient and never when you want her to, she isn’t as into you as you think.

How to deal: She may actually be busy so decide what your boundaries are and how long you’re willing to let this go before calling her on it.

7. She doesn’t introduce you to friends or family

For many women, friends and family trump the men in their lives a lot of the time, especially in the early stages of a relationship. Which is why, if you’re looking for signs your date is not into you, consider if you’ve met her family or friends. If she dismisses the idea out of hand, it might be a sign she’s not into you.

How to deal: Not everyone is lucky in their families so this isn’t a red flag on its town. Don’t push her but do indicate your readiness to meet the people she loves.

8. It’s all about sex

If she’s happy to meet up for sex or have raunchy text conversations, but shies away from more traditional dates, it’s possible that she’s only into you for your body.

How to deal: Clear the air so you’re both on the same page regarding what kind of relationship you have.

9. Doing things for her doesn’t get the reaction you’d expect

Let’s be perfectly clear – doing nice things doesn’t guarantee you  her affection and that shouldn’t be your goal. That’s called entitlement. But take a careful look at how she reacts when you compliment her, buy her things, or do something for her – if her reaction is an awkward thank you and a forced smile, the odds are it’s not secret nerves – she’s not into you.

How to deal: Dial down the attention until you’re surer of how she feels about you.

10. She drops plenty of hints

Does she mention other men she knows? Talks all the time about how work is so busy or wonder how anyone has time for a relationship? These are her not-so-subtle ways of telling you she’s not into you.

How to deal: Take the hint. She’s trying to avoid the awkwardness of an actual rejection, so don’t force her into one.

Does She Like Me?

If you are still wondering if she likes you, we have identified 18 signs she’s interested, from her body language to how she behaves online. Read on for more about how to know if a girl likes you. 

Every beginning starts with an ending

It’s never easy when she doesn’t feel the same way, but remember these things happen – there are over seven billion people in the world and not all of us are compatible. And while you shouldn’t give up at the first sign of difficulty, if it turns out that she’s not into you try to accept it and move on. That’s where eharmony can help – our matching system finds people you’re compatible with, increasing your odds of finding someone right from the very beginning. Sign up with eharmony and get started on the path to an authentic relationship today."

How to Keep your Applicant and Employee Data Secure

 In today's world, it is very important to keep the information of people who apply for jobs and those who work at a company safe. This helps to make sure their personal stuff stays private and doesn't get into the wrong hands. Here are some easy ways to do it:

1. Keep Only Trusted People in the Know: Only let people who really need to know see this information. This helps to keep it safe from people who shouldn't have it. 2. Lock Up the Information: Imagine putting a secret code on the information so that only the right people can read it. This makes it much harder for anyone else to sneak a peek. 3. Keep the Bad Guys Out of the Computer: Think of your computer like a fort. Put up strong walls (firewalls) and guards (antivirus software) to stop any bad guys from getting in. 4. Teach Everyone to Be a Security Hero: Just like superheroes, we can all learn how to keep the information safe. Teach everyone in the company how to spot tricks (like fake emails) and use strong passwords. 5. Add Extra Locks: Sometimes, one lock isn't enough. Imagine having a secret code and a special key to open a door. Adding extra locks, like using your fingerprint along with a password, makes it much harder for anyone to break in. 6. Update Everything: Imagine if your toys got better and stronger every time you played with them. That's what happens when we update our computers and phones. It makes them better at keeping bad guys away. 7. Check for Weak Spots: Like finding the weak spot in a game, we need to look for any places where the bad guys might get in. Then, we can fix them to keep everything safe. 8. Make a Copy of the Important Stuff: Sometimes, things get lost or broken. So, it's a good idea to make a copy (backup) of all the important information. That way, even if something bad happens, we still have it saved somewhere else. 9. Follow the Rules: Every game has rules to follow, and so does keeping information safe. Make sure to learn and follow the rules about keeping information safe, so we don't get in trouble. 10. Ask Questions about Safety: If we use tools or toys from other people, we need to make sure they're safe too. Ask lots of questions to make sure they're doing everything they can to keep the information safe. Conclusion

By doing these things, everyone can help keep the information of people who apply for jobs and work at a company safe. It's like being a hero and protecting something really important!

Hi, it's the anon from before with the whole, um, CSEM art situation, I guess you could call it. I thought you might appreciate an update.

The police have launched an investigation into this. The consistency of the art makes it clear that there was another victim, but trying to pinpoint who she is will take time. At first they thought maybe it was referenced off of me, but then they found posts of the art on another site where my abuser had spoken to someone in the comments and indicated that she and I were different people (he called us "both of his girls", which is so creepy, like he thought he owned us). So they do believe me and they are looking for the other victim, because even if she doesn't want to press charges she and her family need to know that they can and know the art is still circulating.

My foster parents are pretty exasperated with me. I promised for years that I wasn't seeking out and having art of me taken down and that I wouldn't keep obsessing over it. Instead I did. My foster dad figured out the password to my laptop, looked at my internet history and was just horrified by how much time I'd been spending on this. He asked how long I was spending per day looking into things and when I said, honestly, about two hours a day, he put his head in his hands and just looked tired. He's not angry. My foster mom thinks she's to blame for not getting me more involved in more hobbies and helping me have a better social life that would keep me from doing this. We're all probably going to have to sit down and have a talk with my therapist about this.

My therapist is really disappointed that I've been lying to her about not digging into this stuff regularly, but she forgives me. She says a common trauma response is a need to please people that results in lying about your failings to them. It's more grace and kindness than I deserve, for sure.

I have actually stopped spending anxious nights curled up digging up every single image hosting site I can find looking for things, now. Now that I know there were two of us he hurt and the police are looking for the other girl, I can breathe. It's like... you know how in video games, you'll get a little message saying a quest is complete? It feels like that. Like I did what I needed to do. I still want to look things up, but then I think, well, it'll be there later when I'm less freaked out. And I know the other girl is having the crimes against her taken seriously. When I'm feeling awful and hateful about myself, I remember that and I feel like maybe I'm not useless after all. Maybe I can do good things, even if I made mistakes along the way. And no one thought I was a pervert or a freak for being on those sites and no one was angry with me. People heard me out.

If you can pray for the other girl, I think she needs it right now more than me. She was hurt for years and never got justice and I don't even know if she knows about the art or that it's circulating. And some of it makes it look like he started hurting her when she was in diapers. I can't imagine what that's like. God has put people in my life who will be there for me even when I make mistakes and do things I promised not to, who will offer up grace and understanding. I don't know if this other girl has that. I hope she does. I hope God brings nothing but blessings and justice into her life.

Sorry for such a long update. I just wanted to update you so you didn't think anything bad happened. Things went well, more or less. Now we just need to trust in God for justice for the other victim of this awful pedophile.

I'm glad things are working out my sibling in Christ, I'm happy that you have these people in your life who care about you; you do deserve kindness and grace, everyone does. Hopefully this can be taken care of and you can move past this all and direct your energy towards something you truly enjoy. I'll pray for everyone involved. Christ is Risen.

Is Your New Smart Thermostat Worth It?

Not sure about that smart thermostat someone gifted you for Christmas? Relax. Check out the three most popular ones to see how they can cut your Ohio electricity bills.

Did you get a new smart thermostat for the holidays? Are you now staring at that tiny mystery of plastic and wire and wondering “what do I do with this?” You might even be thinking of quietly returning it. STOP! Don’t touch that dial! Instead, let’s go through the three most popular smart thermostats and look at their pros and cons. That way you can see what smart thermostat makes the best gift. And then determine what it can do to help you save on your Ohio electricity bill.

What Benefits Does a Smart Thermostat Offer?

If you aren’t technologically savvy, you might be wondering what makes a smart thermostat better than a run-of-the-mill programmable thermostat. At their core, these smart devices are just really fancy programmable thermostats. They offer the same benefit of setting the heating and cooling of your home to a schedule that saves you money on your electricity bill. Where they excel is in its ability to learn. By analyzing not only your behaviors, but environmental changes like weather patterns, a smart thermostat can adjust your home’s heating and cooling to save you money on your electricity bill. Some also track air quality, which helps with allergies. Lastly, you also gain the benefit of being able to remotely control your thermostat, allowing you to catch problems if you happen to be out of town.

Sorting The Most Popular Smart Thermostats

According to the New York Times, these are the most popular thermostats on the market:

Amazon’s Smart Thermostat connects exclusively to their Alexa system. While you will need an Alexa enabled speaker to use voice commands, you do not need one to work the system from your phone, or from the device itself. The Amazon Smart Thermostat is highly rated for its user-friendly nature.

If you got an Ecobee Smart Thermostat, you’re in luck. Their smart thermostats will also work with Google or Apple smart products, as well as the Amazon Alexa service.

The Nest Learning Thermostat is a great, unobtrusive smart thermostat that can fit into any home’s decor. It also works with Google, Amazon, and Apple smart products. Be warned though, you’ll need to check if your current thermostat’s wiring is compatible.

What Are The Downsides Of a Smart Thermostat?

If you got a smart thermostat as a gift, you don’t have to worry about the first hurdle, which is price. Smart thermostats cost a great deal more than their programmable counterparts. This leaves us with two big problems with them. The first challenge is security. WiFi and Internet-enabled thermostats do pose a risk to your in-home network because they can be hacked. While it’s not easy, but it is possible. So, the most important rule is to give it a good password. The second issue is attaching it to the wall. For most, installation is usually pretty easy, just follow the instructions. But it will involve connecting wires. And if you’re uncomfortable with wiring, you can pay a local HVAC technician to do it.

Get The Most Out Of Your New Thermostat

Don’t let that thermostat scare you out of saving on your Ohio electricity bill this year. Put it to use for you! You can integrate it with all sorts of great energy saving tips and tricks to make your home more efficient.
