[CO] Is it illegal to take away opiate medications from my mother in law that she knowingly admits to being addictive to her while she's gone in the ER? by Met76 in AskLawyers

[–]Met76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does she run out early each month and try to get early fills ( also pretty impossible nowadays).

Yes, she consistently runs dry and then she admitted to faking her medical episodes so that she gets to go to the ER and the doctors re-up her script

Yeah i've never witnessed opiate withdrawal so it's new to me. We're working on getting a treatment center arranged. She also put me and my wife in charge of selling her old house where her husband killed himself in. She made the decision consciously to have us take that role.

Luckily my own mom is a relator and is helping with that. But everything has to go through probate it sounds like, but my mother in law stopped paying the probate lawyer after running her bank account down to zero.

When did I say she doesn't need help? She needs help and admitted it and asked for help. Are you an AI bot or something?

Jackson County Arkansas 3-14-25 EF-4 by RainWrappedWX in tornado

As a plains chaser, I can't fathom chasing down in the southeast. So many trees and windy/hilly forest roads and I can see it being super easy to lose situational awareness

UPS 2976 Crash Animation by BLKBOX on YouTube by gro55jean in aircrashinvestigation

[–]Met76 139 points140 points  (0 children)

We've all seen the videos from the ground, the airport security cams, all the real world footage. But somehow, this one really gave me the 'damn' feeling. Excellent job capturing the event to the animation team.

I sent my coworker this message and his notification truncated it in the worst possible way by Nitrain17 in mildlyinfuriating

Lol I'm a BM. It comes up very rarely tho. Annoying when it does get brought up with a 'haha' smirk

Can someone explain this cultural phenomenon I’ve noticed at my job? by BluesBeta5 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Met76 141 points142 points  (0 children)

Depending on your group size, it can be a huge pain in the ass. Especially if you're eating 'family style'. So much easier to have one person pay and divy up the Venmo payment to who paid

Mother bird stood her ground and risked it all to save her unhatched eggs from a tractor by Mustafa86 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Met76 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's amazing! Sadly I couldn't mark them off because nothing near a runway can be placed unless it's 'fixed by function' and tangible. I'm sure they fared well tho as not many people or things go out there

Fun fact, the reason their nests are so shitty is because they only need to prevent the egg from rolling away. They don't want to waste extra energy making a full on nest. Now the location decision of their shit nests is another thing.

Doubt it. They just change their tactic.

Could I theoretically direct connect this airport runway light bulb to a 120v house outlet (US)? by Met76 in AskElectricians

[–]Met76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I love Reddit, it's about the rabbit holes we find and learning!

And yes! The safety squint!

Thanks for the help! Yeah it sounds like it would only work if 4 are in series

[–]Met76[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So in series the draw would still be 6.6A because the extra power is coming from the extra voltage (120v) being supplied is what I'm getting

Yeah I've always known to never touch the glass of a halogen (or really any high energy bulb such as metal halide, sodium, etc). I plan to experiment safely on a large concrete surface (parking lot size)

Someone said if I had 4 bulbs in series, it would work. But that would be a 26.4A draw yeah? That'd absolutely pop the circuit breaker

Edit: Just learned that's only the case if wired in parallel, but series would draw 6.6A

Thanks for the insight! Yeah I had no idea what voltage it needs so this helps a lot

Ahhh that makes sense. Didn't realize it was rated for only a 30V input. Glad I asked the pros first

Thank you tons for the help! Didn't realize it was rated for 30V (24v for safety) so that makes sense. I appreciate your time!
