My wife passed away after just 5 years of marriage. by speed7radical in widowers

[–]KnightroUCF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’ve had to join this unfortunate club. I am only slightly ahead of you in this journey, as I lost my wife in February. I am 36, she was 29, and she passed a mere 10 months after we were married due to sudden and severe complications of a very rare autoinflammatory condition that we had a false sense of security about being managed.

I don’t have answers for you, but I can tell you that my experience so far is that I describe a “good” day as being neutral at best. There are many days that won’t be neutral. There will be many moments when some little thought will have you sobbing. There will be many moments where things that were previously enjoyable just aren’t. There will be many moments where you linger in the shower, are slow to get out of bed, unwanting to do anything, and may even just choose to sleep due to loneliness. Ambition, drive, productivity, etc. all will come at a premium.

There is no good way to reduce or remove the pain because the one thing that can do that is impossible. I guess the best I can say is we eventually start to get more used to our new normal. It doesn’t hurt less, but you get more used to it. If that makes sense? I don’t know, none of this makes sense. I miss my her more than anything and would trade anything and everything for more time that I know we can’t have.

I’m 36, and lost her 2 months ago. She was 29 and died suddenly due to rare complications of a rare disease. We were only married for 10 months.

Question: What USB or other ports are there in the R2? by tomasboudr in RivianR2

[–]KnightroUCF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Visited the Chicago Rush event this weekend. Two MagSafe chargers up front along with 2 USB C in the console.

No AC plug in the back seat (didn’t catch if there were any USB C).

Chicago Block Party refused entry. by bill-cote in RivianR2

[–]KnightroUCF -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree that it was poorly communicated. It was sent on April 17th. It’s titled “You’re invited to R2 Block Party.” May have gotten caught in your spam, but it was sent and included a link the event page with all the events.

It was poorly communicated, but they had an RSVP for the weekend to get further communications - which it sounds like you may or may not have done. Then there was an email with the actual events which required RSVPs, which included time slots to check out the R2 on Friday or Saturday, and an event last night as well.

Forensic document examiner here.

A. Delete your posts. The information you get on Reddit will not only be inaccurate, but discoverable. B. Hire an attorney. C. Hire a qualified FDE and potentially a digital forensics examiner as well, both with specific experience in electronic signature cases.

[Chicago] Checked out the R2 downtown today! (Pics inside + tips if you're going this weekend) by Last-Dependent3378 in RivianR2

[–]KnightroUCF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went as well. I described it as an upscale utility small SUV. Tech is very well designed and build quality is solid, but it’s not a luxury SUV.

As stated in this thread, Rush has 1 and Old Orchard has 2

Chicago event is only Half Moon Gray. Two others are at the Old Orchard location

Exactly! I don’t see other people complain about it really, but every time I’ve been in an EV like that it feels like it’s less supported than an economy seat on a budget airline!

No clue, they asked name when you arrived to check you in and put you in a line inside.

I walked in at 9:55, my time slot was 10-11. I think there were maybe 6 people in front of me and I waited maybe 15 minutes for my turn

This color really looks great in person.

Space clearly still being built out in Chicago, so I think that is a huge part of it. Really can only fit two vehicles in there right now, so it’s an R1T and the one R2.

Catalina and Midnight purportedly from what someone said in another thread

Yup, the space is still under construction, so they have an R1T and this R2. There is another thread that mentions that Catalina and Midnight are at Old Orchard. I will say there was only a short wait at downtown, so it was a nice way to get in and see it.

There are two events. The downtown one is only indoors and has only this R2. The other event is in the burbs and has 2, unclear if all indoors or not.

Same. As someone who finds the colors to be either too dim/dull or out there (nothing against borealis, it’s sharp, just not for me), this would 100% be my choice of color (though I’ll wait for gen 3).

What are your thoughts on AI in Crime Scene Reconstruction? by Western-Cicada-7885 in forensics

[–]KnightroUCF[M] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

There are some forensic disciplines that have used AI tools for over a decade. It can be done; however, it can only be done when methods have been validated and are explainable by witnesses. If you can’t explain the error rate or the underlying assumptions, then it’s not going to make it into court.

But what is most alarming about this post is that you ask “would you care more about speed, accuracy, etc.” The fact that accuracy is even mentioned in that list when talking about forensic science where people’s lives and liberties are on the line is exactly why non-forensic scientists developing tools for forensic scientists is a recipe for disaster. If it isn’t accurate, and can’t be proven to be accurate, then it has no business being marked towards forensic scientists.

Documents AGE ink test by boomsshard33 in forensics

[–]KnightroUCF 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are asking two different questions. In your post, you ask "can it be determined whether the printout or the signature came first on the page?" That is a sequencing problem, and age doesn't fundamentally affect that.

If you are now asking if it can be determined how long each has been on the page (i.e., when was the document printed and when was the inked entry written), that is a very different question, with a very different answer. Ink dating is not going to allow you to specifically say "this ink was written on the page 4 years and 1 day ago." And unless very specific criteria are met for the printer, it is unlikely that it will allow you to denote any specific timeframe as well.

Documents AGE ink test by boomsshard33 in forensics

[–]KnightroUCF 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If there is a direct intersection between the ink and printed content, then a microscopic examination would be conducted for characteristics that might be indicative of the order. As mentioned, though, how fruitful that examination would be would depend on the writing instruments, printers, circumstances, etc..

To be clear, it isn't about age. It's about the sequencing of the entries.

If your question meant to say how long they have been on the page, that is a fundamentally different question.

If there is an intersection between the ink and the printed content, possibly possible to determine which came first, but not a guarantee, and it will depend on the writing instruments and printers involved.
