Pretty common in lots of places - you get charged after n false-alarms and are required to fix your broken sensors or whatever is causing the issue.

Get a custom-made cloth or use a thin microfiber like a lens cleaning cloth and put it between the keyboard and screen. Whenever you close the computer. Keeps the smudges off and prevents key shaped wear marks in your display.

Aside: Nice site and concept/business. I have service from a local WISP and am quite happy with it.
It might be interesting to have a list/map of WISPs on your site!

Joining your local search and rescue/ mountain rescue/dive team/etc. Is an amazing way to have fun, learn. Lots of specialized skills, go places few others do, and help out your community.
Generally first aid/ CPR is the basic medical requirement, but they will teach you that. EMT or higher is absolutely useful though.

Same here. I wouldn't go traipsing through the woods looking for a spring at a set of coordinates without first finding out who the landowner is and contacting them for permission. (If it's not public land.)

"stack them up during a disassembly and then unstack them as I reassemble."
I love this! Automatically sequences the fasteners.
Another option is a piece of corrugated cardboard. Poke the screws into cardboard in the pattern they are in the device you're disassembling.
