The best thing about having a security system like that is that it tells the bad guys who has the best loot in the neighborhood and who they should rob … Nobody pays attention to lights or alarms when they go off anyway.
My wife used to work in a retirement home, and two or three times a year they would get Norovirus outbreaks (until Covid hit, when visitors were banned and they had three years without a single case). It’s really nasty, but easily prevented: hand washing, hand sterilization – all the sensible measures. I washed all her work clothes separately, and also used Dettol Antibacterial Laundry Sanitiser on them – and in the 15+ years she worked for them, neither of us ever caught it. Teach your kids to wash hands properly after every “visit” while it’s still fresh in their minds – they probably picked it up at school because children are generally dirty little disease factories … :laugh:
Actually, drunkenness was severely frowned upon aboard a pirate ship – they had pretty stringent rules and heavy handed punishments: Google for “pirate code”. Remember, they were effectively warships, and combat could occur at any time. Being unfit for your duty was a bad idea …
