cannot express how long the trojan horse would've sat outside my city gates before i gathered the energy to go grab it. those greeks would've starved in in there
Nowadays you’d get a “package delivered” sms with a photo of the Trojan Horse outside a gate you don’t recognise.
otoh, the actual Trojans fought for years before Odysseus thought up that trick.
Sounds like you'd have given up Helen before second breakfast.
Otooh, it's not likely to have actually happened. At least the Trojan horse part.
None of these delivery people ring doorbells anymore. It’ll just sit there unless I get the email with the picture of it on my doorstep.
I wish they didn't, our doorbell sucks and it freaks the cats out every time they ring it.
Have you tried disconnecting it? Or messing with it to dampen the sound? I think I used a paper clip on one once.
I'm pretty sure I'd epectrocute myself if I did that.
Doorbells are the simplest electronic component known to man (literally just a button). You can totally unscrew it and disconnect it inside
I think they run on super low voltage. Take the external plastic casing off, should reveal a bell. Maybe put a piece of masking tape on the bell. That should muffle the sound and maybe not scare the kitties. I did something similar at my last place, but I clipped something like a paper clip or a binder clip to the bell.
“Well it’s wood, it’ll survive the elements. Besides, it’s not like I can bring it inside a building or anything so what difference does it make if it stays out there for a while longer, you know?”
They can eat the stuff in the Chewey box sitting on my porch.
