To this day, not one person in the spec reviews in whatever overseas OEM electronics or those split AC units (which are fantastic in one regard) reflects on persistent light in a room where people are sleeping? The worst is encountering AC units when arriving at a hotel that do not have a "display" button to turn off the 20C display in white LED. Are the actual people that make these and make those decisions just tougher or they're just ignorant?


Black sharpie and electrical tape. Never travel without them.


Lately we had both our tenants in our other house (on the same lot) leave, my wife trapped two stray cats inside the house, one escaped, and we are trying to tame the one who stayed.

I moved the TV, XBOX, a $50 PC and almost all of my optical discs (but no books) over there because (1) I won't be so mad if a copy of Disney's Frozen gets pissed on (he's a tom), and (2) if it does the disc will be undamaged and at worst I can discard the package.

That room gets really dark and it doesn't have a switch controlling an overhead light so turning off a floor lamp and then sneaking out the door without creating an opening for the cat to escape (though he's much more inclined to hide than run) leaves me quite happy for the little LEDs and stuff that create just enough light to get from the couch to the door.
