OK, OK... I'll be That guy... Ridunculous view!!! Where is that?
Oh, and nice post, BTW.

My "tweak" was a Siemens FS140 Whole House Surge Protection... (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013WINMK6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1). While my system is well protected, I was sick and tired of all kinds of devices (smart light switches, chargers, network devices, etc.) getting frazzled a few times a year. Weather (thunderstorms) here in Houston were causing me a bunch of grief. In the 6 months since I had it installed, no more casualties!

Hi Russr: I’m in the north end of Toronto. The view is looking away from the city, in a high floor of a condo. I keep my window blinds up all of the time, and the Stillpoints Aperture panels mitigate the reflections off of the windows.
