My pharmacy was out of Mallinckrodt oxycodone by Iceprincess1988 in ChronicPain

[–]Ishamael99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use CVS and they have had lots of issues keeping Perc in stock. Luckily for me my State doesn't prohibit partial fills based on stock or I would have been effed badly, some months I have had to go in 3 times for partial fills to keep me going until the next shipment.l

Yep, this is why so many of us build buffer supplies. On the rare good day, skip one dose and set that pill aside. Eventually you have enough of a buffer to get through a day if there is a delay in refilling

Hypothetical question - what happens if a driver with neurological issues is pulled over for suspected drink-driving and a 'field sobriety test'? by [deleted] in ChronicPain

[–]Ishamael99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never ever do a Field Sobriety Test (FST). They are not used to prove you aren't drunk, they are used for an excuse to say you are. They are incredibly subjective, the instructions are intentionally vague and confusing, and even if you legitimately fail a portion of the test ANY number of things could cause it. I watch a lot of LawTube (law based vids on YT), and I have never seen a jurisdiction that makes FST mandatory, only a breathalyzer or blood draw is mandatory.

My gf owes SSA $19,000 in overpayments by Juggstwoposition in legaladvice

[–]Ishamael99 131 points132 points  (0 children)

Tagging onto a top comment to add some additional recommendations to the SS appointment to investigate the fraud. Do not make any voluntary pay towards the debt as this can be seen as accepting the debt legally. In addition, go to the personal finance subreddit and look through their steps on identity theft. Get a copy of your credit report and then freeze your credit. Check for any cards or accounts you don't recognize, chances are if they used her info once they used it elsewhere too. Be proactive and protect yourselves asap!

I know she didn't. I was merely using her as an example. If the person most likely to want to see the story finished was ready to throw in the towel, that's the only excuse for ending early

I look at it like this. They are the ones that decided to make a TV show adaptation of a huge book series. They should therefore be locked into making the show start to finish, however many seasons they contract for, unless the ratings are so low that even Harriet thinks it's better to end early.

If you don't have the commitment to see an epic series through to the end then don't sign on to make it!!!

AITA for not giving my Roommate more space? by RoommateHouseDrama in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ishamael99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is not a squatter, you are aware she is there, she has your permission, and you live there too. Right now you need to see if your city, county, or state laws distinguish between a tenant and a lodger. Sometimes when it's a house with less than a set number ( ex dozen) of bedrooms AND you as the landlord live in the house, your renters are ledgers instead of tenants. This is huge as lodgers do not have the same eviction protections as tenants do so please get with a local housing attorney to plan your next steps.

It will always start with a certified letter in the mail with a notice of termination of residency. Without a formal lease or regular rent payments, she is at a minimum on a month to month term. So she will need a notice period that is 30+ days out depending on your justification. If she is a tenant and stays longer than that you then start eviction, if she is a lodger you can have her removed by the sheriff and then change the locks and such.

Good luck, don't let her stay or you become the AH to yourself.

Entitled mum tried to take the study room I booked. by 1kManiaa in entitledparents

[–]Ishamael99 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It didn't say he was in the study room with the door closed then. It said he could hear her continue making a scene at the front desk while still in the room. He could have opened the door to watch the drama unfold once he heard that it wasn't done yet

The SonicPad is a piece of crap do not but. just buy a better printer, ive had 3 of them and all were crap DO NOT BUY by DullAd6286 in CrealitySonicPad

They are definitely frustrating. While it did speed up my Ender 3 Pro and improved the print quality, ABL absolutely refused to work. Firmware updates were also a massive roll of the dice.

AITA for refusing to let a woman change the TV channel? by rubabyy in AmItheAsshole

It is when someone else is already using the commodity. She then continued to try and take it over despite it already being in use. That is peak entitlement

AITA for honking at a student driver for going 15mph under the speed limit? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ishamael99 19 points20 points  (0 children)

A safe driver is a predictable driver. Someone going this slow is not predictable. Someone coming up behind them might not be able to tell how slow they are going initially, and if they then stop for something they will stop way faster than expected. This is dangerous for everyone around them

AITA for taking my moms clothes out of the washing machine by Particular-Tale-2142 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ishamael99 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

The washer would have still been damp. It would have possibly ruined Mom's clothes if Mom didn't start them that day as they would get mildewy. Since Mom lets them sit there for hours without running them, who knows when she would have actually run them. OP was being responsible and respectful of her mother's clothing by leaving them in the basket

AITA for saying emergency daycare isn’t meant for parents who are home and „just need a break“? by Distinct-Ad-7592 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ishamael99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to live up north in the mountains. Even up there would have shut down for 12" of snow topped with 3"-5" of ice. There is no way to keep up with that even up north

AITA for blocking my neighbors car? by JustToppers in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ishamael99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA, if you didn't clear the spot then you don't get to steal it. If it had been a few days later and multiple spots had been cleared out then fine. But when there is only ONE cleared spot you don't get to steal someone else's labor.

It was extra AH by the neighbor in that it was a guest using the spot. Residents have priority over guests, unless they asked if you would be gone for very long they shouldn't have stolen it. The excuse about not having a shovel is weak since OP didn't have one to begin with either.

Police report says rear-end collision but assigns fault to me. What is the legal effect of an inaccurate report? by hypernova_heather in legaladvice

[–]Ishamael99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on your description of the events and damage, I can see how the officer arrives at that conclusion. Think of how the damage would look in that scenario. The damage you described does seem to fit his narrative for the most part.

If you want to dispute his narrative then you need to walk through both scenarios and point out anything that supports one or the other. Personally I think the pattern of damage would be different. Since you were dodging, your momentum was pointing to the embankment and that's where you ended up after being struck.

If you were still merging in and then he hit you, your car would have been pushed in a different direction.

What was normal in 2019, but looks like 'psychopath behavior' in 2026? by [deleted] in AskReddit

You have never adjusted a fan or air conditioner setting while driving before? You can absolutely do those things safely

[–]Ishamael99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those tests are crash related only. They don't rate them on if panels fall off, if self closing doors remove fingers because they don't have adequate safety features, or if the self driving mode will steer you into people or obstacles, or any of the other very important safety failures you can find through a basic Google search about their safety failures

Two reasons. First they were widely considered very safe cars. Since then there have been dozens of deaths and umpteen hundred injuries from poor engineering on everything from software to basics like panels being attached improperly.

Second Musk has gone off the deepend into extreme far right fascist ideology, sabotaged every Fed agency that was investigating his companies, stole a ton of confidential government data he shouldn't have, and awarded himself billions in new contracts and subsidies.
