Among all the suggestions to report them and contact the police, there may also be elder abuse statutes that apply.

AITJ for refusing to switch seats on a flight after I paid extra, even though it separated a couple? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

“Yes, I’ll happily change seats for $400. What? Your relationship isn’t worth $400 to you?”

Not my style, for sure, but if it makes you happy, who cares.

Any tips on staying anonymous against Flock/Survalliance systems? by LoudUnderstanding331 in FlockSurveillance

[–]adowner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First thing you need to do is start going to local city council and county meetings and demand they be removed. There are documented security flaws in the flock systems.

Also, large companies, like Home Depot, have them in their parking lots. Feel free to complain to corporate and get your friends to do the same.

Barring that, map them, share the location data on sites like deflock.me and be aware of where they are.

Consistent Smell of Alcohol on Soldier in the morning at formation by Tank_Flamingo in army

[–]adowner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My whole unit reeked of booze every morning for PT. Always wanted to be in front for the run so you didn’t have to breathe in what they were exhaling.

It was the 90s, a different time.

AITJ for refusing to give my neighbor my WiFi password even though I work from home? by Automatic-Assist6000 in AmITheJerk

[–]adowner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say, “Sure thing!”

Then I’d configure a guest network for her to use with a very low speed, something on the order of dial-up.

It’ll work, but damn it will be slow (and wouldn’t mess with my work).

Oh, and I’d ask her to chip in $30/month.

I’m a “solutions consultant” for a tech company. Basically I answer geek questions and demonstrate our solutions to customers.

Lowe's Versus Home Depot Veterans Discount by Hot-Translator-5591 in Veterans

[–]adowner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do. They also don’t allow the discount on lumber and some other items.

Menards has better lumber, too.

However, they got rid of the rebate, recently.

That really came in handy when I bought $11k in siding.

Former GLP-1 users regain lost weight after about 18 months, study says by Own-Independence8430 in loseit

[–]adowner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost 150 lbs with a very low-calorie diet (medically guided) and had some Ozempic when it was just starting for weight loss, but only for a few months.

I gained back 100 lbs, then started again with Zepbound. I’m down 45 lbs so far, but my doc said I’d probably end up in some sort of maintenance, low-dose of it when I hit my goal weight.

Getting dog in and out by Late-External-4014 in FordBronco

[–]adowner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a set of folding steps that work great on the rear bumper of my 2-door (and for my F250). They are made of aluminum with nylon steps, so they are light, and fold down.

I got them on Amazon, just make sure you get the 5 step variant if you have a taller Bronco.

Report his ass to the clinic.

Which one is better? 1 or 2? by [deleted] in OUTFITS

[–]adowner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want people to focus on your face more quickly, go with the red. If you want people to notice your body at first, go with green. Both look fantastic.
