Cheap option: Put wood glue between the leg and those 2 boards and use clamps or a ratchet strap to hold it square utill it dries. Then cut down a piece of 2x4 (or whatever you have) to fit in the corner, and glue that in. Once dried, it should be as sturdy as the original hardware. With the downside of it being a permanent attachment.

    Either smart men from all over are running the same scam — or there are common bits of wisdom in most religions and there may be something to that.

    Or C: There was an original scam that not so original humans copied over and over through the years.

    Mine loves it. If you don't actively lock him out, he'll be in there playing in the water. He'll crawl in and stand in the shower with you. And then proceed to make a mess everywhere if you don't catch him quick enough to dry him off with a towel. He's a decent plumber tho.

    Is the landline just for having a company monitor stuff? Should it still work locally just to like set off an alarm if the door open or motion is detected when the system is active?

    Yeah, it's just for remote monitoring. But if it's not connected, it will probably always show communication errors on the panel above. Sometimes you can get away with using a telephone line emulator like a Magic Jack (sometimes not, it's hit or miss).

    I rented a place that had a slightly newer honeywell/ademco system (that was no longer in use) and was able to get it running locally with a Magic Jack. I programmed my cell as the monitoring company. So if it went off, I would get a call from that # and know it was an alarm. The downside to that was it keep calling over, and over, and over. Making it difficult for you to call the police (found that out the hard way).

    That looks like an old Ademco system. There will be a main panel somewhere, probably in a closet in a metal box that may or may not be locked. Typically near an outlet with a wall wart power supply.

    Get the model numbers from the main panel and the keypad and you should be able to find manuals that will do into detail about all the possible features. These old units required a wired land line for reporting to work, so you might have to get creative for that.

    Sorry if this is a dumb question. My current gaming setup is a Intel I7-4790k, 32Gb ram and a RTX 2080 Super. I came across a AMD Threadripper 1920x, mobo, 64Gb ram for free basically.

    Is that worth the time/effort to swap over? It seems to me it would be, but when I search around for info I get conflicting opinions. So any input/insight is appreciated.

    Edit: Thank y'all very much! I think I was overthinking single threaded performance.
